Also, happy third anniversary to The Silver Cord!

I'm in the music video for the new song from the Seattle tropicalia band The Cosmic Neighborhood! Check it out! It was a ton of fun to film and the band is so good! www.youtube.com/watch?v=u4TL...

it took just around 3 hours to record our silver cord episode. tell me again why anybody chooses to make podcasts?

and people say baseball is a sport where nothing happens

Tomorrow is “The Plague Of Frogs Was Actually Spaniards” day and you all better have gotten me something 😤

ok if this isn’t exactly what i want from life i don’t know what is

name a non-LotR character who is a cool and good person but would nevertheless set land speed records for getting fucked up by the One Ring

junlper is being antisemitic again and everyone is ignoring it again

This was such a fun episode to record! Turns out that I might like metal Oh I might like metal

We brought our friend @snotcat.net onto Midnights with the Lizard Wizard this week as we took on PetroDragonic Apocalypse, the band's second thrash record, this time from a progressive metal lens. It's really fun. What a record. midnightswiththelizardwizard.simplecast.com/episodes/027...

it’s always nice when the topic of the day is tech armageddon instead of economic armageddon so i can tune it out

the fact that i own a men’s cut PWHL sweater and a women’s cut NHL sweater never ceases to amuse me

PEOPLE ARE JUMPING THE GUN So ok. Meadow Creek is not happy with how security was handled at fov/pretty lights they want to hire private security. County has to approve. So its not 100% canceled at BV its just in limbo I guess.

孟子對曰：「殺人以梃與刃，有以異乎？」 曰：「無以異也。」 「以刃與政，有以異乎？」 曰：「無以異也。」 Mengzi replied: "Killing someone with stick or with a blade—is there a difference?" [King Hui of Liang] said: "There is no difference." "With a blade or with governance—is there a difference?" He said: "There is no difference." (1A4)

Voted today. Fuck you, Brian Heywood. How dare you. What gives you the right to attempt to strip people of their basic rights and dignities? Have you ever felt the sting of having to protect your own civil rights at the ballot box?

just found out how voting on the question "should the state declare me a second class citizen and sponsor child sexual assault at scale to enforce that status" feels 👍

Brits seem to have a societal meḥitzah that would make even the most shomer Ḥasid comfortable

if You Can See Everything doesn't win the academy award for Best Editing, there is great injustice in the world

I keep drafting and deleting posts about an ex and an old discord server that I was reminded of yesterday - a server that I learned has grown a lot in the time since I got away from that ex and that server's abusive owner and culture It's hard to talk about. I hope they're not causing harm anymore

I Saw the TV Glow (2024)

it's really a shame when you go to listen to an artist who died in 2008 and their apple music page is filled with 18 albums of AI-generated Christian rap released in 2025 and 2026 that have nothing to do with the 1971 occult themed early synth music you were trying to listen to

that’s baseball, baby!

Let’s Go Guards!

That was incredible baseball. Time to take down the Rays and get a chance to fix the time rip that opened up in 2016 and destroyed the world

21 strikeouts in a nine-inning playoff game. Holy smokes.

i really hate that i have to see husted’s transphobic attack ad just because i want to watch baseball

Sometimes people are like, "I wish we didn't have to hear about AI all the time" or "I wish there were posts about stuff other than politics on here"

what it’s like to live in the Midnight household

Is this Gizz’s weirdest album since Eyes Like the Sky? Yes. Is this Gizz’s most underrated album since Eyes Like the Sky? Yes. Do I completely get why they don’t play these songs live? Yes but I hope someday that that… *Changes*

It's time for Midnights with the Lizard WIzard to tackle King Gizzard's 23rd studio album, the smooth groovin' Changes. It's relaxed, chill, and totally not full of extremely weird music theory wankery. midnightswiththelizardwizard.simplecast.com/episodes/026...

well that’s two straight nights with no sleep at all so just fuck everything

the difficulty here, of course, being that this player really got fucked in the Charleston, because this hand is at least 8 tiles away from any winning hand. it even appears that a few of the discarded tiles match the tiles in hand, so i think the POV character must be *trying* to lose clothes

I really wanted to include Ahoy! by Punch Brothers, but it wasn’t in the database. Anyways this feels wrong but I’m posting it anyways

this is also true for anyone involved in making music or music performance. you have to listen to music. you have to listen to so much music

i can’t just post audio files on discord and i don’t know how to edit video, so i’m sad i can’t share my Beatober Day 1 creation here 😭 i think i did something really cool with the prompt

the worst part is knowing that if i try to name the person, non-Jews will swarm telling me that i’m wrong and it’s not real. but it is. it’s gross and it’s insidious and so many of you just don’t get that just because you criticize zionism doesn’t mean you can’t be antisemitic

really sucks when someone i follow and many mutual follows jumps way over the line from anti-zionism to explicit antisemitism

One year of Midnights with the Lizard Wizard today. Thank you all for paying attention, listening along, and making us feel at home in the Gizz community. The big lesson from this year? Listen to that big discography from that band you've been hearing about. It'll be worth it.
