This old Dennis the Menace is pretty funny

My mom is playing a would you rather game with my nephews and one of the questions is "would you rather kiss Cupid or the Easter Bunny".

AI is good at making songs in garbage genres like pop punk and modern country but it'll never be able to replace the creative power of genres like Ambient Drone + Field Recordings (birds chirping)!

I don't know much about the Epsteim thing, please educate me by posting screenshots of headlines from clickbait sites.

This is such a cool cover

I miss the blogspot music days. You would be like hey guys I just found a new blogspot and it’s full of these obscure Hungarian prog albums you can download and then all your friends would be like “shut up,” and “fuck you”

Unsung Mammal Heroes Of Rock 'n' Roll Another find in my stuff: A 1971 Nick Tosches-fueled letter to Fusion magazine.

Every person I've ever heard talking about enneagrams was a guy who seemed like he was probably in the closet, but now I have heard an openly gay guy talk about them.

@mellowcremepumpkin.bsky.social I am listening to a podcast about the book The Ninja by Eric van Lustbader which kicked off the 80s ninja craze and in it a guy gets murdered by a katana while reading a Frederick's of Hollywood catalog

On the duende/chaneque/goblin AI slop channels there are also a lot of centaurs, which can be pretty scary looking. Are there any centaur horror movies?

I found out about a 1994 comp called Ambient 4 Isolationism on Virgin Records compiled by Kevin Martin, it's pretty great. Aphex Twin does a sick straight up noise music song; he should put out a full album of noise music. youtu.be/ZdEhDOlfFiA?...

I just found out Next's 2nd album Welcome 2 Nextasy has a song called Cybersex that goes "I want your PC Sit on my laptop Push all my buttons, baby Please don't stop Download all over me Lemme into your bits and dat Dial me up, it's time for cybersex"

It's funny what a wave of nostalgia for early 00s Minneapolis hit me seeing someone post this tag

For #MosaicMonday a #Roman mosaic showing the labyrinth of the Minotaur on Crete. The monster’s head is depicted in the centre. The simple depiction is alluding to the myth of Theseus, in which the Greek hero slays the Minotaur in the labyrinth with the help ... 🧵1/2 📷🏺 #Archaeology

I find most music videos cringe inducing but this New Radiant Storm King one is so creative & well done. Ironically it came out 2006, post MTV showing videos but only in the first year of YouTube and its microfiche theme probably wasn't grabbing the youth attention. youtu.be/6pZxJ8XVUIs?...

It's funny on monkey youtube videos American women are always commenting to people living way out in rural Indonesia "you need to take that monkey to a vet and get it some eye surgery" when the closest "vet" is like 300 miles away and is essentially just a guy who works at a pet food store.

Turkish label president: I don't care if he's just a kid and doesn't own any suits! If you're on the cover without a suit you'll look like a bum! Fix it!"

I went to the bakery and asked for my cake to be marked with a B and put in the oven for baby and me. The man refused, and said I shouldn't have demanded he make it as quickly as possible!

I'm listening to all the early Motown singles, there's some pretty goofy stuff. Surprisingly "Going to the Hop in my raggedy jalop'" is no "Standing in the Shadows of Love". youtu.be/rBFuuKeUuJY?...

One kind of AI video I actually like is where a normal human guy is giving fruits to some faeries, duendes, elfs, or any other kind of demon.

Instead of folk horror being any horror outside a city so horror is city horror by default, it should work by hobgoblin rules. Hobhorror is any horror in a city or town, and folk horror is just regular horror now.

I'm reading Joe Abercrombie's the Devils which is great but there's a character named Duke Michael, which I keep reading as Duke Mitchell, part a Martin & Lewis "inspired" duo with Sammy Petrillo, who starred in Bela Lugosi meets a Brooklyn Gorilla. I wonder how common a problem this is.

In the first century BC the city of Amisus was under seige by Romans, who started tunneling under the walls, so the people dug their own counter-tunnels and set wasp nests and wild bears loose in them, separately and apart.

On the dumb music group someone asked if there was any dubbed out classical music and someone recommended electro-swing

wow

WOW, this is the earliest known group of chess pieces in the world! 🤩 It includes two foot-soldiers, two mounted riders, an elephant with rider, a figure driving two horses, and a figure driving a three-horse chariot. Ivory, AD 700s. Samarkand State Museum-Reserve, Uzbekistan. 📷 me #Archaeology

The first use of the word blurb

Junko Mizuno lemon piggies

I think this is by Wani Souma

a fitting end-state for this whole thing was The Caretaker becoming a TikTok phenomenon because the idea of six hours of music was shocking to zoomers

It would be cool if people kept replying "why is Trump fatter in this than JD Vance, JD is fatter in real life" and see if they start doing that.

Are Tums called that because they help your tummy?

you are at home. you have food poisoning and are locked in the bathroom. you are alternating between pooping and hurling. lead singer of the verve pipe is knocking on door, he wont stop. he is saying we are all set up in the living room, waiting on you to come out and listen to us do "the freshman"

On the dumb music group someone asked what genre Trans Am and the Fucking Champs are and people keep mostly saying post rock and sometimes math rock.

The hell I can't

POV: You Talk To A YURI HATER #yuri

Every now and then I'll get pushed clips from a podcast just called LOL and from what I can tell without ever clicking it's hosted by married Mormon 14 year olds and regularly gets over 1 million views. Too bad the Article Industry is done, I probably would have read one about that.

It made me chuckle that this citation about the star and crescent is from Crescent Magazine. Was the next article about crescent rolls?

Many consider sledding "the thinking man's skiing"

Ha ha Google AI is like "this is definitely the Alex Gray art from the Tool album".

In the manga Death Note there are some FBI agents with really good American names. Haley Belle, Raye Pember, Freddi Guntair, Arire Weekwood, Lian Zapack, Toors Denote, Ale Funderrem, and Bess Skelletd. I wonder what language rules are being broken for these not to sound right? They must be complex.

Chewbacca looks like a Beavis and Butthead character

An amusing take on the supposed effects of quinine-containing bark!

I'm reading about the underground city of Derinkuyu in Turkey and when I was 7 this is exactly the type lf place I wanted to live in. It's dug out from tuff, which is as easy to dig as loam but when it's exposed to oxygen it might as well be bedrock. It's massive and only about half is explored
