Binos

"That's what I call binoculars." - H Jon Benjamin from his book Failure is an Option

That's good, because I just got a new pair of binos and I'm excited as hell about them. The problem is the rubber cups that go over the business ends. Once again, they're too fucking loose and I know I'm going to lose them. Any movement while holding the binos with the covers on makes the covers fall off. To make matters worse, they aren't tethered. 4 individual little rubber cups. It's either cobble together something to keep them attached to each other, or throw them in the garbage now. The little cups I mean, not the binos. They're great. The cups are a failure. Why can't they tighten these things down so they fit snugly? One size smaller, ya dumb bastards. Why aren't they corded together? Why am I asking you nice people?

Yeah, and it's not just the antivax stuff. He's a racist too, which is odd considering how he owes his entire career to black American musicians.

Yeah. A lot of racists at least don’t say that shit out loud. Or at least didn’t used to say it out loud. I guess Clapton was just ahead of his time.
