I blogged about this story earlier this year before and after it passed, but as of today, recreational cannabis is fully legal for purchase in Rhode Island. Even if you don't smoke tree or get down with some Eddie Vedders, there's no denying this is a great day for Rhody. This legislation helps create jobs and gives citizens something they've wanted for a long time; the legal right to take the edge off the brutality of existence in a capitalist society! Based on the caption, I'm not 100% sure if this is technically the first recreational legal transaction in the state, but it definitely is the first at this dispensary in the creative capital.
This purchase is a statement about cannabis and the wide array of people who use it to feel better in various ways. We've got a 96-year-old, O.G. Antifa, greatest generation bro getting down on the sweet cheeba. I wish we knew what he got. What's your method of choice, sir? My money's on an Eddie.
There's plenty of bad news around the world to bum you out. Our Senate just decided railroad workers don't deserve paid vacation. Kanye WeSSt is full on Nazi or at the very least a Nazi sympathizer. The loser government killed someone in Iran for simply beeping his horn in excitement after the U.S. beat that hateful nation (I stand with the citizens fighting for basic freedom). R.I.P. Mehran Samak.
But at least you can legally buy, smoke, vape, eat, or rub reefer products in Rhode Island. Just in time for Thursday Night Football; Go Pats! They might not win, but they're gonna look great tonight in jersey as red as this vet's eyes after he gets baked out of his gourd.

Ever since I had a TikTok shitting on fascist qunt Marjorie Taylor Greene go baby-viral (10.2k likes, 115k views), only to get deleted for "bullying," I've been sorta addicted to TikTok. What can I say? After a few years of not being a TikTok guy, they finally broke me. I can admit that this format is fun and informative; it's so much more than stupid arm dances. For example, this video of an R&B version of System of a Down's 2001 smash hit (unfortunately, that year was full of smash hits) "Chop Suey!" by a Michael Strahan-James Harden hybrid guy @klassixjones.
I've been professing my love for cross-genre covers since DOL was in diapers. I love seeing artists totally recreate songs in ways you'd never imagine. Sure, this is more autotune than true R&B, but the lyrics still transfer pretty well to this medium, and I enjoyed it enough to share with my massive audience (love you all). I don't know how these algorithms work, but I did watch the actual "Chop Suey!" music video last night for the first time in deep.
(proof)
Everybody knows that I LOVE to hate watch WatchMojo videos.
Then BAM, this twoish week old video shows up on my TikTok feed. I don't know if there's any correlation between a Youtube suggestion and my TikTok stream, but whatever this is a weird niche quicky blog after a recent inactive streak. This shit slaps. I need @klassixjones to finish the whole song.
P.S. I'm glad to see "Chop Suey!" broke the billion view marker, but it's still bullshit that "Wannabe" hasn't (even though "Say You'll Be There" is better).
Double P.S.
Obviously I had to watch the "Say You'll Be There" video after referencing it. This I swear.
At This Point Not as Rare as You'd Think TRIPLE P.S.
Seriously, who the heck else is writing blogs with references to System of a Down and the Spice Girls in basically 2023? HIRE FUCKING DOZO!!!!!!
Even without Timelord, the Celtics are playing at a historically elite level, so I've moved on/forgotten about Ime Udoka and the drama that ensued before the season started. I've also thoroughly enjoyed this meme as the C's continue to put up 130+ points a night.
And you best believe Joe doesn't give half a fuck about the royal family sitting court side!
But back to Nia Long and her hard feeling toward the Celtics. This ordeal was a bizarre situation that was quite confusing at the time. What could Ime have done that was so bad to get suspended for a season but not outright fired after helping this franchise make the NBA Finals: Presented by YoutubeTV for the first time since 2010?
It looks like he had a consensual extramarital affair with a woman involved with the Celtics then things got worse, as there's allegations of harassment. There's no denying it's a messy situation, but they have to bring that up. They can't just sit on that information. It'd be a million times worse if they did and that eventually saw the light of day. I get why you're in pain, Nia (yayyy I've been cheated on too!). As a hashtag good guy I don't wanna seem cold, but like yo, the Celtics aren't "in the business of protecting women." They're a fucking professional basketball team. Don't get me wrong. I'm sure they don't want to see anything bad happen to women, but this is a professional basketball team. If anything it's implied. Like the C's want kids to be safe at their games but it isn't their responsibility to make sure they're fully strapped in to an appropriate car seat after the game ends. What do you want? Lucky to do a wellness check? Brad to babysit your kids and talk about their feelings? This shit is already awkward enough. Do you think Wyc is gonna make a call and make sure your kid's doing okay because daddy keeps his D wetter than a Jayson Tatum pull-up three? You got cheated on by your longtime fiance that you haven't married yet. It sucks, but it's not like your kid is sick or somebody died. We're talking about an affair. People cheat literally every day. This is the NBA. Look up what happened with Steve Nash and Jason Richardson. Strip clubs and side chicks are an open secret in NBA culture. Cheating is a part of NBA lore. I'm not saying it's right, but we're trying to win a fucking ring here. It may seem cold, but the Celtics and their social media teams only cared about you because you were the coach's chick, and people get horny about pictures of you from the 90s because who doesn't love to reminisce. They used you for clicks and engagements, babe. Cold World, no blanket. Again, I am a hashtag good guy and a feminist, but your anger might be directed toward the wrong people. As far as we all know, the Boston Celtics didn't make Ime slip up. If anything, they've gone above and beyond here by basically firing him. Do you think Red Auerbach would've fired Tommy Heinsohn or KC Jones if they were getting some on the side? Fuck no. This was a progressive and unprecedented move by the Celtics. Would it have been nice if they checked in? Sure. But I have friends that haven't texted me in months, and I've gained 100+ pounds since Covid and make references online to being depressed all the time. I get a "good blog, Doz" maybe once every three months despite putting out hundreds of bangers a year. And we actually have history together! I understand that as we get older people have their own shit to worry about and don't take it personally because I know nobody is actively trying to make me feel worse. Okay, that was a low-key lie because I take everything personally, but I hope you get my point. Again, I don't wanna sound cold, but the Celtics don't owe you shit. Yell at Ime, not us. We're just tryna win a ring. Do you think the Tampa Bay Buccaneers checked in on Gisele?
P.S.
Speaking of Joe and JT, congratulations!!!
