Dærick Gröss

welcome to my eclectic space here... around here i'll mainly talk about music or comics or highland games or just musings on life in general. and yeah, politics too. to see my Song Of The Day(ish) list: www.daerickgross.com/sotd.html i won't promise to be interesting, but i will be authentic.

i'll be there on friday... who else is going?

my spirit animal...

this show was so foundational for me as a young kid. and to pass on Jackson Bostwick's birthday, no less... godspeed, Michael. you are forever my Billy Batson.

i have come to believe, over the past two years, that it is perfectly reasonable to want to hermit yourself (literally and emotionally) in a dark cave, dress all gothy, and go around physically punching corruption in the face on a nightly basis while a Danny Elfman musical score plays around you...

and thus we see fully illustrated before us the insidious method by which AI shall rise to end us... not through violence, merely death by perpetually just not getting it right THAT'S NOT WHAT I SAID YOU INFURIATING *ackmyheart* [thud] [maniacal robot laughter]

thanks to some conversations today about my LOA posts, you get one more Song Of The Day(ish) from the new album! SOTD 581 ist ja supergeil... youtube.com/watch?v=P7Oau8FFo-E #SOTD #LordsOfAcid #IchWilNurDas #PraiseTheLords @lordsofacid.bsky.social

boosting the signal for @riotgrlerin.bsky.social. she's put in a lot of effort to help keep bsky fun and weird. if anyone out there is able to help, please consider doing so 👇

i'll just leave this here and go simmer in my rage at the world for a while...

and another Song Of The Day(ish) off the new LOA album. it's different, and i like it. definitely feelin' some KMFDM vibes on some tracks. SOTD 590, keep on floating in the sun... youtube.com/watch?v=yIeRkhDeFQ8 #SOTD #LordsOfAcid #Dreamboy #PraiseTheLords @lordsofacid.bsky.social

this Song Of The Day(ish) reminds me that the kids are going to be ok SOTD 578 asks Mr America, why'd you split in two... youtube.com/shorts/ODILE... #SOTD #KnightsOfMolino #MrAmerica

this is gorgeous ❤️ my father would have gone nuts for an art nouveau / word nerd thing of beauty like this...

i think they typoed the anniversary number, there is no way it's been... no oh no no no no nononono ... i need to sit down a moment.

love this one

hail to the king! gonna be pretty Crampy around here today.

is me.

i feel this in my bones...

i'm now 10 days into being now primarily left-handed, and it's super weird still. brushing my teeth is awkward and just feels wrong. hoping to get a better sense of where i'm at tomorrow, maybe i can start using my right hand again soon.

brutally on point...

on point...

just published my latest #Trumpy satire strip. i cannot wait to retire this cartoon... #ShineALight #NoKings #TraitorTrump #HoldFast

i feel seen and called out...

i'm going to hell for laughing as hard as i did at this...

fortunately i don't see any cartoonists down in that dungeon. yet...

just gonna post this without any further context. that's it. that's the post.

more rummaging through old stuff... here's my old, *very* well loved and worn Big Red Machine-era Cincinnati Reds ball cap from the mid-70s. somewhere i have the pennant as well...

found some bins of my childhood things, and these lovely buttons jumped out and said "remember us?" yes. yes, i do.

took me a moment, but then a laughed way more than i should have...

having been bullied growing up, i in no way condone bullying against anyone. *however* if any person walking this earth deserved simultaneous swirlies, noogies, and wedgies, it's this smug-ass smarmy bag of deceit and cretinous knavery walking around in an ill-fitting skin suit...

gaddamn this is fun...

i bradded for Brad Bradbrad for Brad. did you brad yet?
