🎧 if y'all aren't familiar with Tobe Nwigwe, he's been rumbling around the Houston scene for a few years now. This just dropped on YouTube yesterday, and it's a great introduction to his work.

In the same vein, public access television disappeared in America because so many White Supremacists filled the airwaves with hate, the government decided to shut the whole thing down instead of trying to censor them. These assholes would rather ruin shit completely than let someone else have it.

One of my next music history rabbit holes I'm going to dig into is what hurt Garth Brooks so bad, he went from this to THIS.

John and Paul wrote A LOT of songs named after women. Lovely Rita, Michelle My Belle, Julia, etc. So when Nirvana sat down to write a Beatles-like song, the end result was named 'About A Girl". Kurt loved the Beatles. Ben Sisario needs to stop writing about music, and just fight his dad already.

There are more things in Heaven and Earth, Charlie Brown, than are dreamt of in your philosophy...

Could someone smarter than me explain what these are referencing? I mean, I'm pretty reasonably assuming that silk song is referencing metal gear, but I don't think this motif spring fully formed from the mind of Video Kojima. I'm just not sure if I'm looking at film or art history for an answer..

Meanwile, his ex is putting out music explicitly about how the pretrial system is tearing black women away from their families to boost prison numbers.

Yeah we did not get y'alls mental health revolution with severely marginalized mental disorders. None of that trickled down just y'all making sure everybody knows you're not THAT type of crazy, you're the good kind.

🎧 If your favorite Garth Brooks song was Calling Baton Rouge, you're going to like this one. Plenty of country songs out there about being on the open road. I love a song about having a reason to get off it, at least every now and again.

This is horrendous news. Every person I've talked to that's been to Brentwood was scarred by it, and these were all grown folks. Mark my words, this is gonna fuck up a lot of Shreveport kids..

Not that the man needs the extra controversy, but I'm pretty sure Donald Glover did it first.

Is there any book/comic/movie from the 1980s that's had a bigger cultural impact than Akira? Genuinely asking. If you have an argument, I wanna hear it.

If Mamdani is smart (and as squeaky clean as he appears), he could absolutely turn a denial of his security clearance into a FOIA shitshow, and make the whole thing a spotlight on public access to politician's records. You say he's a risk? I'mma need y'all to actually lay out how.

I'm gonna reserve judgement until I get a chance to hear this kid's "Het! Haaah! HIIIYAAAH!!"

What Simpsons quote has been living rent free in your head for decades? Here's mine:

YOU GUYS WANNA SEE SOMETHING CURSED???? HOW ABOUT NEON GENESIS LEHIGH VALLEY PHANTOMS HOCKEY?????

The funniest thing about "Mamdani will ruin New York" is that Shreveport already has a bunch of the things he's pushing for. Free buses? We've had those since 2020. Baby baskets? A nonprofit handles it, but we've had those since '21.

As someone stuck in his district, please do. The enemy of my enemy is NOT my friend, but those two deserve each other as opponents.

Student made zine for punk and hardcore shows in Shreveport

This man bought a handful of dilapidated properties here, but hasn't put one bit of work in on any of them. He's hosted ONE festival here, completely ignored local talent, and so far the follow up has failed to happen. Shreveport doesn't need 50 Cent. And we definitely don't need his 'friends.'

Respond with the same actor as a hero and villain.

Poor Kevin, he'll never find Lil' Mikey in Shreveport. He hasn't been here in nearly two years. He came to Haughton, a sundown town in his district, to preach at a church earlier this year, but December of '23 was the last time his ass was in Ratchet City..

What's more, even if someone is selling their food stamps, it still sounds to me like someone in that transaction will actually be able to afford food. Sounds like a a win to me.

Technically, only half of Shreveport is one of the whitest, most racist districts in the country. The other half is all the historically black neighborhoods carved out of the middle, and forced to share a rep with parts of Baton Rouge, a full 250 miles away.

If Peacemaker gets a third season, I'm calling it right now; this will be the opening theme. This song is begging for a group dance number with lasers and a bald eagle.

Share a cartoon from the past that kids today probably never heard of.

"Tzefardea Tzedek" (Frog of Righteousness) As soon as the Portland Frog became a meme, Jewish social media blew up with jokes about the 2nd Passover plague - tzefarde'a (frogs) - and the Rabbinical commentary around it. I knew I had to make a calligraphy piece encompassing all of it. (more in alt.)

Image projection technology was invented hundreds of years ago, and its purpose remains the same today as it was back then: to look at monsters with their tiddys out

You know what’s really really fucked up? I think I was a tad over the line here and in my anger slipped into some mild homophobia and I regret using “suck Bernie’s dick” I had that realization in under 2hrs. Graham Platner wore an SS tattoo for 18 years.

Finally finished Silksong.... At least until the DLC...

Name an album with Zero Skips.

Didn't want to derail the thread, but there's another angle here that no one talks about; Until the govt. gave businesses tax incentives for hiring veterans, especially disabled ones, the police force was often the only gig in town for young men fresh off their enlistment.

Dudes from Shreveport with a southern accent and a grandparents born in a logging camp tent don’t get passes for Nazi tattoos and we don’t get to call ourselves “working class” once we buy a new pickup and own our own home. Funny how that standard don’t apply to Yankees.

I have been traveling and today I present to you...the thing I saw in the Frankfurt airport. Is it efficient? Undeniably. Does it probably work better than the normal way? Oh certainly. Produce less of a mess? Probably? But the existence of Condiment Udders gives me a deep, aghast disquiet.

Name your fav Debut Album

Of all folks that get an opinion on the shutdown, the guy that took 15 rounds of voting to get the Speaker's seat, only to fuck up and lose it in less than a year is absolutely fucking not one of them.

Given how close they built the Shreveport distro facility to Caddo Correctional Center, I give it less than a year before the rest of those jobs are done by prison labor. Trust me, it's all going to get much, much worse before this story is over.

Gachiakuta has been a strange trip so far. It's good, but has some tonal whiplash. It'll give you the tenderest scene about navigating childhood trauma this side of Steven Universe, then follow it up immediately with punching someone in the face while calling him a Shit Biscuit.

Stop scrolling and post two characters who bring you happiness

The Saboteur but it's set in 1864.

There is a pleasantly surprising amount of in-depth research in this video, especially from a YouTube yapper.

As the second of four kids, it was nice to have just one goddamn snack my siblings wouldn't take from my Easter Basket. Black jellybeans taste like death and sadness, but I kind of developed a love for it, even against my better judgement. It's a pretty advanced case of Snackholme Syndrome..

Who robbed the Louvre? Right answers only.

If I had a nickel for every time America got worse because Huey from Louisiana got shot, I'd have two nickels. Which isn't a lot, but it's weird that it happened twice

What is this post supposed to be? A threat? Not only does Mike Johnson live in DC (sharing a townhouse with Steve Berger, a hate pastor), his ass hasnt stepped foot in Ratchet City in years. This clown is talking about pulling up to a place his enemy has already long since abandoned.

A note: this is footage from the No Kings protest earlier this year. Notice the "Juneteenth in Shreveport" banner on the light post about 3/4 through the sweep of the crowd.

i'm not a religious man but i strongly believe in the cat distribution system
