Surely it’s a good sign for the American economy that I just got an ad on Instagram for selling plasma

Important thing to remember about Markwayne Mullin: for all his tough guy posturing, his actual tough guy credentials are primarily beating up a guy who was a professional loser

I am doing a Big Country check-in. Showing support for one another. I need SIX people to post, not share, this message to help remind everyone that Big Country's life-affirming 1983 hit "In a Big Country" is always there if you need a boost. Pretty sure I know who will...

The artwork of Air Zonk used on the cover of the #NEC #TurboGrafx16 in North America. It was also used for advertisement in South Korea and a calendar in Gekkan PC Engine - Issue 53 - February 1993. Removed logo/text, applying the usual upscale/clean/retouch process. [1/2]

Every day this world grows a little dumber

damn they got a nicer house than me

Imagining a really shitty thrash metal concept album called Breakfast at Riffany’s

Gotta bail on Roberto Bolano's Savage Detectives about a quarter of the way in. Not sure what people seem to see in this one.

Mildly ashamed by the squeal I would squell running across something like this at the flea market

Had to give the dog the Heimlich maneuver to keep her from choking on a leftover meatball. A surreal, slightly scary thing I hope I don’t have to do again.

Huh, had this record for more than a decade and just now seeing that Steve Moore from Zombi played on it tidal.com/track/246562...

If you ask me, the best song about being back in black is, you guessed it, AC/DC’s “Back in Black”

listening to Captain Beyond again and the first album is right up there with if not even better than the best of any other 70s hard rock band you care to name, even the big boys

it's nice seeing CDs back in bands' merch offerings again, and at the reasonable ~$10-12 pricepoint they should have been by the mid-90s onward

Gambling should be illegal across the board and watching sports too much should be viewed with a similar disdain as playing video games too much

Not at my best this morning, stayed up too late playing Frankie Goes to Hollywood: the computer game

waking up shaking from a nightmare where all of the photos of my family, pets, life events and milestones, travels I've taken and nice meals I've eaten are replaced by an endless wall of memes, screenshots, and mildly funny if not entirely inscrutable in-jokes and assorted snippets from group chats

I think I’ll buy tickets for these soon

c'mon, this is straight out of vintage Cum Town apnews.com/article/baft...

I think an even tackier thing than selling AI images at Home Goods is the manufacturer of this near future landfill occupant coming up with an AI “artist” and bio to attribute it to.

The most defining characteristic of gen X in the smartphone era is the inability to cleanly crop a screenshot

Even in a society where so much has been reduced to simple novelty, we are not measuring up to the peaks we once aspired to

I'm sure the people that own this website have done a lot of really significant work on it in the months I wasn't using it

You can just permanently deactivate and park your account on here, might look into that soon, it’s a pretty dull way to waste time

Part of trying to practice what you preach is assuming that many, if not most, like-minded individuals are also quietly boycotting/abstaining from supporting the shitty company du jour and finding out that they are not, in fact, and are too addicted to their treats to even seriously consider it

I hope this Mark Kelly thing gets cleared up soon so we don't have to see his face as much. He looks like what stares back at you from the bathroom mirror the first time you shave your balls out of curiosity.

Anyway time to post this again. AI is a tool of fascism.

damn, he doesn't look at all like I remember him

There’s a huge gap in rock criticism for stuff that doesn’t fit into the classic rock or Pitchfork-friendly categories

It’s such a powerful feeling knowing that the obscure film you just found out about for the first time is going to be available in reasonably high quality on one of the sites where you download movies

Kind of sad that Haha, You Clowns airs at almost midnight on a Sunday evening; a show with healing powers like this should be in prime time, not at pervert hours

Any time I see something about modern comics in passing I can’t help but think that most of the adults really into them must still order off the kids menu

Taco Bell cinnamon twists without the flavor dust on them taste like Home Depot smells

Protip I learned from my wife: cut the top off the bag of chips when it’s time to go in for the kill

Will Ferrell is in some ways kind of “Ernest for adults“

we need a Mr. Rogers type figure that can split wigs and beat the asses of those that deserve it

love these guys, got to see 'em this past Monday tidal.com/track/150860...

It’s a cruel coincidence that the toilet I crap in most often is in what is is really the only wifi dead zone in the entire house

classic Loony Tunes have much to teach us about class solidarity

Forgive a rare quote with a pic of something from twitter, but pissing away billions of dollars to gas yourself up publicly should induce an instantaneously fatal level of shame. Makes the kid whose "uncle works at Nintendo" and the guy whose "girlfriend goes to another school" look like the Fonz.

sometimes you gotta go back and remind yourself just how great Judas Priest were from 1976-1984

Yowza

if it wasn't for keeping up with a few folks I think I'd just delete all my accounts and quit letting the internet shit in my brain

Once your hoarded wealth exceeds a certain amount you should be domed and your wealth redistributed. What's controversial about this?
