the most depressing thing is theres never gonna be an “a-ha” moment for the right wing chuds. we are going to keep, on pace, experiencing a rapid decline in our quality of life, and they will keep shifting the goalposts til they redefine the american dream as “obedient peasant”

damn well then maybe someone should write a book called What Is To Be Done

@the_satellite23 Back in the USSR

Here's my lunch for today. Just as it has been for many, many days during my life. I'm 31yo. Happier and healthier than I've ever been.

all that being said who wants to do a Ramones cover set with me for halloween this year

anyway ultimately who cares about debating rolling stone lists. the publication is for like Rick Beato and a couple 11 year olds who just got back from their first trip to guitar center. “is this real punk ?!?” who cares its 2026 and everything is dress-up and slop now

like, early punk was exciting bc it was genuinely groundbreaking. the genre has been chasing its own shadow for decades and thus, culturally, has become another rigid set of rules and cliches to ultimately break free from. saying this as a lifelong fan of the genre too!

whats funny too is the punk+hxc scenes have always been so cookie cutter & spiteful of bands that diversified. at times it comes across as anti-music as an artform as a 1:1 itd be like a guy who exclusively eats cheeseburgers and gets pissed if he sees you eating something else

CSH only has 3 decades to go until the unironic 5 straight albums of big band crooner covers

Will Toledo pissing off his entire fan base by leaning into christianity and also self-sabotaging his own most popular album is quite actually the most Bob Dylan thing a musician has done since Dylan himself

oh my god I legitimately completely forgot this game existed. this was stored away in a dusty memory file cabinet i havent opened since the mid 2000s

@neetrockstar rock music is inherently regressive. parallel fifths during the old times were considered unsophisticated and dumb as shit. not to mention power chords only sound good specifically on an electric guitar w overdrive or distortion. also why guitar music pre-effects used full chords

Why did it take like two millennia to invent the powerchord. Why did something like weezer not exist during the byzantine empire

shit still hits

okay but Peter actually just wanted to work in construction the whole time. he found himself

what is this, a Severance s3 leak?

someones gotta turn our 60s gramps onto The Cure method of doing shows. you play for 3 hours, front load it with obscure and/or unreleased music, then unload the clip with the parade of hits on the last 45 min. everyone wins

need to get the opinion of my rich conservative uncle whos afraid to go anywhere south of 16 Mile re: this one

JACOB COLLIER: and violins, could I get a pizzicato d, then up to g, yeah that's nice. flutes keep those quavers going. And piano, could I have a trill on your lowest b flat Me: (closing piano lid) no sorry Jacob JC: a trill on the b flat please piano Me: no Jacob I won't do it

@DrewSav thats cool man. anyway you live in north carolina. how about you at least pretend to believe in democracy by , idk, letting Michigan voters decide who wants to represent them at, idk, the ballot box

I think El-Sayed is far too risky a candidate even in a blue year. We've seen bad candidate fumble winnable races even when the environment benefits them. There's Sara Gideon, Sharron Angle, Blake Masters, Dr. Oz, Christine O'Donnell, etc.

@JeremiahDJohns wait is the implication here that you think the politicians you support 1) never lie and 2) never get away with it when they do? jesus christ you libs really do think politics is a disney movie

One of the worst things Donald Trump ingrained into American politics is the idea that if your base likes you enough, you never have to back down or apologize for anything. Does it matter whether Abdul ever got his medical license, or treated patients, or had a residency? In the context of a Senate run, not especially, if we're being real. But it seems indisputable that he was deliberately deceptive about using titles like 'physician', playing up his doctor credentials, talking about how he 'healed people', etc. And even if you want to say that's a gray area rather than a straight up lie, people used to be embarrassed by that kind of deception. It used to be normal for politicians to apologize for things, scandals used to matter. Trump has taught everyone that you never need to apologize, ever. Double down. Triple down. Caught lying, or doing something immoral or shady? Mock the people criticizing you. Rally the base around you, attack rather than defend. You're actually PROUD of whatever they're mad at. Trump proved that as long as your base is rabid enough, this tactic works. And I hate to use overly dramatic cliches, but this kind of thing is poisonous to the soul of the country.

if you truly understand the absurdity of life it can move you to some pretty intense tears. only a band such as ween can produce that level of cosmic absurdity on an auditory level
