🚨 WORLD CUP SCORIGAMI 🚨 FINAL: France 🇫🇷 (4), England 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿 (6) 6–4 has NEVER happened in men's World Cup history (1930–present).

it’s just a little…oh, how you say- je ne joue pas…

Thursday groupwatch usually spawns from bets and we've decided if Spain wins we're doing Sound of the Sky next and if Argentina wins we're trudging through the Latin American dub of Btoooom, a show we have not previously seen and only regard as a meme due to Aniguessr's disproportionate love for it

gatekeep!'s latest "here's what we didn't cover last month" writeup is out. I took on the new Modest Mouse, Ostraca, Jalen Ngonda, and Death Cab for Cutie (that last one is my AOTY contention) albums. can also vouch for the Trooper Salute record, it's a stunner www.gatekeepmusic.com/p/quick-fire...

this, too, is chainsmoker cat

finally got around to nabbing the F1 26 DLC. I take back any bullshit I might've flung at the Madring during the buildup. this place is flowy is fuck. super fun lap. gotta stay on your toes at all times

watching re:zero for the first ~real~ time in part to make up for the extremely bad faith, half-assed hit piece I wrote of *half its premiere* when it first aired in 2016, and also in part because groupwatching things with friends is fun. will this be? we'll see. thank you for the milk.

the first impressions cycle is over. long live the first impressions cycle! a surprisingly packed watchlist and then some despite all my moaning and groaning. not sure which of these will be feast-worthy for a whole cour, but right now, I'm eatin' good

let’s get ready to lime rock

Jaadugar boldly asks the question: is the Internet ready to meet Genghis Khan's historic failsons if they're drawn like the Osomatsu boys?

new JoJo arc just dropped

fuck. man. that had me more stressed than any of “my” teams’ matches ever the underdogs lose the battle, but the rest of the world will be rooting for this Cape Verde team to make it back for years to come, as they should. what an effort. this is what sport is all about

mods,

big ups to the Green Yuri adaptation doing my own bit for me, but like, at their own tremendous expense lmao

Summer 2026 anime first impressions thread! ✅ = Impressive premiere and an almost certain season-long keeper ⏸️ = Undecided verdict/want another episode or two to decide/might revisit at a future date instead of watching it weekly ❌ = mid/bad/squarely not for me or some combination thereof

soccer’s the kicking one

my best (?) EP turns three today. got a few nitpicky things I'd change in hindsight as all artists do after their work is out there but I'm still very proud of all these songs. wanna recapture the spontaneity of the writing process from it again sometime theheistrevenge.bandcamp.com/album/scorch...

binged TADC the past few days after not even knowing it existed until last week and my only contribution to any Discourses that may or may not be ongoing since the finale is that Disappearing Guy deserved a few more cameos. it's an incredibly good bit. no way it could've wore out its welcome.

spring 2026 final thoughts thread I guess. gonna be scattershot and probably post several late, busy week ahead of me

heard this for the first time tonight and my brain grew its own set of ears or some shit. what a tune. man. www.youtube.com/watch?v=Viwe...

What if I was more than half the cast

that's just how language goes and you can't argue against it once it happens but its crazy that "larper" is now a synonym for "poser". larpers, if anything, are really dedicated to what they do. feel bad for the non-larping, actually-larping larpers.

There is no clearer example of the Netflix jail effect than the fact that I haven't seen a single person with this as their display picture

re-reminded by the algo, I'm back on my shit claiming this is the most divine session performance ever. the concept, gravity, and mix of this one is something else. perfection www.youtube.com/watch?v=U1Be...

daemons has a lot of great running bits but none more endearing than the trials and tribulations of begrudging apartmentwife hana danno

hey, it's me, I'm one of those Americans who only watches soccer if the World Cup is on and doesn't pay any attention to FIFA power rankings or whatever. and it's bracket time

WERTHERING WAVES

(evening crowd repost)

a couple months passed and it was my turn to SEVEN again; enjoy some fully earnest listicle clickbait from yours truly www.gatekeepmusic.com/p/seven-bad-...

as a geo nerd I'll usually give the benefit of the doubt to travel vloggers—some are bad, plenty are neat—but anytime I see an easily disprovable hype title about how far they've trekked I get the twitch in my eye. bro's less than 100 miles from Saipan and light years away from piquing my interest

every week I tune into marriagetoxin with a smidge of fear that it might've already brought its best stuff, and every week I am enthralled and proven wrong

elderly deli man in the breakroom talking about how it’s his newfound passion using AI to write Rick and Morty fan fiction reminding me that summer sucks because if I try to sit in my car on lunch breaks I will literally die, instead of in here, where I only figuratively die (which is worse? tbd)

My first full-length writeup for gatekeep! in a little too long is up now! Divisive as they are, Periphery are one of my all-time favorite bands, and their latest LP is generally rewarding, with some caveats. Read on! www.gatekeepmusic.com/p/review-per...

back home from charlotte. the 12-hour marathon drive is not fun, but it worked - I've got two full days of vacation left to get shit done around the house before heading back to work. we take these

maybe the race-winning call?

trucks be vroomin. we’re so back

the first green of the CMS weekend + Harrison Burton update

we have gone back and forth from the track 3 times today and every time we park it starts raining again. sorry gang, think this one’s on us (and we’re coming back)

my party of 9 decided they wanted chick-fil-a for breakfast without consultation and I can’t go inside with my peanut allergy so I just stayed sat in the back of the van without a word and I don’t think anyone’s noticed I’m not there yet. it’s been 14 minutes. least perceivable member of this family

been piecemealing my review for the new Periphery album in between trips to the tracks and it all just kinda hit tonight in light of recent events. dunno when exactly it'll be polished enough to publish but man I needed this. they let it drop at the perfect time. www.youtube.com/watch?v=w1nZ...

contrary to popular belief it is actually me who has the pole

Hall of Fame day notables

the rain somehow let up for a bit here at hickory. saw the news about kyle busch on the way here. drowning out the shock with the roar of engines. what else do race fans do?
