it is odd to me that there are 20th anniversary features on the Black Parade saying "did you know it's a rock opera???" when it took me a single listen to the title track to go "oh shit they're doing an emo rock opera on this one huh"

Andy Williams kicked ass and the fact that his celebration of life has people chanting his name over and over should be proof. One of the giants of two scenes I've considered myself a big part of over the past two decades, and a guy I've never heard a cross word against. #AndyWilliamsForever

i generally feel that if Hasan Piker had a more Anglicized name, something like, off the top of my head, "Adin Ross", we wouldn’t have large swathes of the political elite calling for his condemnation

i think the funniest thing about Pete Alonso’s return tonight is that it’s also a promotional night for a fantasy novel so Mr. Met is in the shot right behind Pete wearing the most fucked up outfit i've ever seen #Mets

One of the greatest records ever made and it’s been out of print forever, grab yourself a copy!!!

20th anniversary 45-rpm double-LP of The World/Inferno Friendship Society's "Red-Eyed Soul"!! Some of the best music I've ever been involved with, for the first time on vinyl since the 2006 release, from @ejrc.bsky.social. Pre-order at Bandcamp: worldinferno.bandcamp.com/album/red-ey...

not impressed, i can run really fast and get stretchered off after that without even needing to run into a wall

A humanoid robot beat Usain Bolt’s 100-meter dash record at the World Humanoid Robot Games in Beijing on Saturday. It ran into a wall to stop and was carried away on a stretcher.

one big difference between here & the old place is if you got doxxed over there, you would legitimately fear for your own safety. but here, if someone found out my address the biggest threat i’d face is a sternly worded letter telling me trump is all my fault for not being more excited about kamala

absolute fucking bullshit. Decades in jail for for zines, stickers, and posters that don’t align with the christofascist worldview the current administration has. i’d say what i think should happen to the judges and prosecutors in this case but apparently that’d get me 25 to life too

The return of casual homophobia/misogyny/racism was bad enough when the conservatives were all doing it to fake “trigger libs” but now even people that obviously no better are showing the same shamelessness… and so casually too

i know the right wing usually hates learning but thanks to this chode for teaching me about a lutheran pastor who was put to death in 1945 for plotting to kill hitler it makes total sense that they’d think plotting to kill hitler is a bad thing tho

Rep. Brandon Gill: "We particularly need the left to tone down the rhetoric ... somebody is gonna listen and believe they are the next Dietrich Bonhoeffer and act on that and that's what we're seeing here."
