These pliers (Knipex Cobra) are the BOMB!
Did an oil change on the accord. Someone at some point had changed the bolt to like a 13/16” bolt and then rounded it off. None of my SAE or Metric sockets would go on, my rounded off bolt removal sockets did nothing, hammer-on socket wouldn’t work. Put the Cobras on there and pushed and off it came. If it didn’t slightly chew up bolt heads, I’d use them for eveything.
I discovered Knipex like 9 years ago and switched all my pliers instantly. Their 10" diagonal cutters have gotten me out of so many jams. Longnose are no joke either. That multigrip is the look.
knipex is the truth.

The intro of this video is way to long and stupid but man I’ve been bumping this shit off that Mia 2 Tha Bay tape. Oh and the part where he screams is dumb but the rest goes. I believe he’s from San Jose as well so that’s cool I guess.

5 Things We Can Do to Reclaim Cinco de Mayo
It’s pretty much official. In the United States, Cinco de Mayo has become the Mexican version of St. Patrick’s Day.
Multi-national corporations like Budweiser and Kraft have effectively turned it into a pseudo-ethnic holiday used as another excuse to get drunk and consume. La Batalla de Puebla is hardly mentioned, including by many Mexicans.
Still fresh in our community’s collective memory, however, is a time before corporations even seemed to care about Mexicans and our traditions and when Cinco de Mayo was a day of community and cultural affirmation.
Kids would dress up as china poblanas and charros, folklórico and danza azteca groups would perform, grills would be ablaze and maybe a parade and a car show would entertain families on this day.
Of course, these traditions are very much alive and are still observed every year in our communities — as the photo above from West St. Paul’s Cinco de Mayo event shows.
The big difference is that today there are entire events posing as Cinco de Mayo festivals but which are actually corporate festivals held to promote products and brands.
Can we take back from multinationals something that has belonged to us for decades?
Can we reclaim Cinco de Mayo as a day that celebrates Mexico’s heroic victory for democracy and freedom over French imperialism in the La Batalla de Puebla?
Of course we can!
Here are 5 things we can do to make it happen:
1. Support events hosted by and for the benefit of local non-profits and community based organizations.
2. Don’t go to corporate Cinco de Mayo events. No matter how much free shit they give away.
3. Remind white people Cinco de Mayo celebrates the killing of white people!
4. Know the history of Cinco de Mayo and La Batalla de Puebla.
5. Promote Mexico making Cinco de Mayo a national holiday, removing the silly claim it’s only celebrated in the US.

Ok you won me over with that one, now I’m down for cinco de mayo.

Tame Impala do Outkast “Prototype”
I’m no Tame Impala fan, personally if I want that style I got for Föllakzoid to fulfill my contemporary psych needs but you know this wasn’t bad. I was expecting to hate it but Prototype works for a cover. It’s way better than some dick head doing acapella versions of Stomp Da Shit Out U.

Who needs equipment to podcast? All you need is content you didn’t create or even pay for and the internets. That’s how all of tumblr works.

I ended up talking with words alongside Serg, Soft Money and actual guest EmDub of Thizzler On The Roof on another Stay Hatin podcast. I didn’t bring any songs because I forgot my flashdrive and had to go to Sears so the only things they played that I remember liking were Maxo Kream and Young Gully. There might be other good songs in there but idk.
noz is the worst podcaster ever

DJ Jerry Nice – Supersonic Mix
With recent word that the Supersonics could be making a return to Seattle, I wanted to do something in celebration. Being a kid of the 90’s and having Gary Payton & Shawn Kemp as heroes, it was only right that I pay respects to that era. In this quick mix, all songs either reference basketball, specific Sonics players, or anything describing their return to Seattle (directly or indirectly).
Teaming up with Throwbacks NW, we’re releasing 100 limited CD’s for the shop beginning April 24th. These are available free with any purchase so get your copy while they last.
GO SONICS!
Jerry Nice is the dude! Haven’t seen him in a minute but fuck with it.
