In 2025 a "tripping balls at ..." feels derivative of even the HST derivatives of the 2010s...
Reads like he's absolutely channeling/mimicking Thompson. I don't think it's coincidental, at all.
Seems to do a fairly good job of it, but I'm not sure that I would read him, myself. It just feels different, to me.
