uncharacteristic baseball news: the fact that the Seattle Mariners might go to the World Series has perked up my curiosity. The fact that they would be facing the Dodgers is worrisome, but nonetheless, I’d finally get to see a Mariners game on TV for the first time in 14 years! しかし、日本が大谷を大好きだ…

are there any people who still do not like haujobb's album ninety-nine? i mean, i'm sure after 25 years maybe people mellowed, but they were really angry back then for not being solutions for a small planet 2. of course, i think the album is pretty great, and i did back then, too.

i wish i had someone i could pour my heart out to, just let all my emotions out, free my soul of its burdens or whatever. but i don't. oh well i suppose

I think it’s time to re-evaluate the concept of good and evil. If people do evil things for “the greater good,” what’s even the point?

If we’re limiting ourselves to the English language, then M. Gira or Tom Waits. I’m certain there’s probably a lyricist in a language I don’t speak that writes poetry better than 99% of mainstream English language musical acts.

I see bluesky has successfully entered the “eating its own” phase. musk site is two clicks away, still a toxic waste dump. mastodon still too complicated for normies. threads still exists?! there is no hope for us.

Sanae Takaichi won the Jiminto (Liberal Democratic Party) leadership, which puts her on track to become the very first female prime minister of Japan. This might sound cool on the surface, but Takaichi is fairly right-wing. Much like Thatcher. So it ticks off the box, but it doesn't help anyone.

marvel rivals talk time: it has come time for me to admit, with great reluctance, that I am now… LFG

@shawns52.bsky.social thank you deeply!!!!

@blackgeneration.bsky.social sorry to bother you, but do you happen to know a list of present industrial/ebm/darkwave type record labels that still publish physical media (CD, vinyl)? i'm running out of options, the lists available through web search all turn up the usual labels or dead labels.

It's #bandcampfriday time! All the usual fees are waived and your money goes straight to the performer. This time, I do have a newish release: Advice & Consent, a 3 song EP which I hope you may enjoy. Please remember to support your favorite performers! #industrialmusic tangentstrategy.bandcamp.com

If a SINGLE major media org could do a story on NSPM-7, that’d be great !!!

Not gonna lie. If I had ¥330,000, I’d get a TR-1000. Please buy my music to make this dream come true.

my neighbors came by, and i panicked because my Japanese is trash, but they spoke perfect English. They were so nice, and wanted to apologize in advance for their new baby maybe crying. I, in turn, apologized for the sounds I make playing Marvel Rivals. They gave us a gift. It was sweet of them.

marvel rivals talk time: I made it to Gold 3, the fastest I’ve ever done so. Let’s see how far up the ladder I can get.

@untidymusic.com i forgot, did i ever submit music to you?

didn't realize I had access to Warhammer 40K: Boltgun; that's a helluva game. i hate the term "boomer shooter," it should be doomlike or quakelike, but beyond that, Boltgun is a fantastic representation of the classic style of FPS.

Nationalsozialistischer Präsidents Mandat

marvel rivals talk time: the last week has been spent on customizing reticles; first, the suggested ones, then ones that work for me. it has slightly improved my gameplay, but slightly means the difference between winning and losing so i'll take it. getting better as phoenix. now at Silver I.

🚨 New directive NSPM-7 targets "anti-capitalism," “anti-Christian,” and “anti-American" opinions as indicators of extremist violence, authorizing an army of 4,000 counter-terrorism officers to prevent crimes that haven't happened: www.kenklippenstein.com/p/trumps-nsp...

well, after a bit of struggle, i composed a very short piece using Bitwig Studio for Linux. I still prefer Reason, though.

yeahhhhh, as much as Silent Hill f might be great, i am not gonna play hours and hours of kids getting killed. nope.

so now we are on the part of history where chaotic centrists are shooting political targets just for the lulz? humanity needs a reset.

the one thing about history repeating itself is that the villains are always remembered in detail, but the suckers not so much. the fact that led to hitler’s rise to power was how fragmented the parliamentary system was, and how the sozialdemokratische partei had no reins on power. ahem.

i always wonder with players that name themselves spooky names if they really feel like that's their persona. like say, "DarkLordEvil" or "Great Pazuzu." then they get owned in the game repeatedly by some called "Kawaii Yuki-chan."

Fun facts about The Rapture: Debbie Harry is the first white rapper on record. The second was Tina Weymouth of the Talking Heads and Tom Tom Club, of whom the latter’s “Wordy Rappinghood” came out only months later. #rapture

The Rapture IS NOT in the bible. The Rapture IS in Blondie’s fifth album Autoamerican. You know what to do. Buy that album

dear reasonable Americans, when you going to do something about that blight in the white house? because it seems like you’re tumbling down the mountain real fast. love, chd.y

This is not fake. This is not a drill. This is the complete destruction of your right to free speech. And it may only be a few days away. I highly suggest you read this and then get ready to fight. If we don't get up and do something, we deserve what we get. clayhiggins.house.gov/wp-content/u...

I didn’t know Olhava’s label had the reach to make it into Tower Records’ vinyl marketplace (same as I didn’t know that my old label’s distributor could put my CD into Tower Records) but I’m very happy they did and listening to it on vinyl is … majestic. Love that album.

i don't know why i bother watching jayztwocents youtube channel. he sometimes accidentally stumbles into a good point, but it's pretty clear he's uncurious. he had a video about "what to do about Win10 EOL" & it basically ended up being "suck it up and upgrade to Win11." meanwhile i'm happy on arch.

one day, ABC will be made up of nothing but David A.R. White movies

whoever called charlie kirk as maga's horst wessel, you win the prize

A free and democratic society cannot silence comedians because the President doesn’t like what they say. This is an attack on free speech and cannot be allowed to stand. All elected officials need to speak up and push back on this undemocratic act.

lol abc bent the knee to trump by suspending jimmy kimmel using charlie kirk as an excuse fascism unfolds real, real quick

aww, man, Tomas Lindberg of At The Gates died. i still enjoy listening to Slaughter Of The Soul every once in a while, what a bummer.

robert redford, now that was a guy who lived a full life. salute to you.

the right eats its own, then points leftward to blame them for how delicious the meal was

@djbrianl.bsky.social would you like me to send you over a yum code for my new ep?

what a strange world. people falling over themselves to lionize a dude who publicly, and vociferously, declared his hatred for anyone who wasn't in his circle of cruelty. a narrowminded loudmouth who targeted college students yet, himself, dropped out and was proud of it. and these people are libs.

Shinzo Abe.

i love that over how many centrists and dems have been killed over the years, the right has been like "get over it." kyle rittenhouse comes to mind. but the moment one of theirs gets killed, and we don't even know by who at this point, the right goes "left wing violence has gone too far!"

happy 909 day errybody i celebrated it by crushing some beats-ts-ts-ts how are you gonna celebrate yr 909 day?

I’m sure I’m missing violations - which still makes me as effective in stopping Israel as our international system is. But the bottom line is that this post by Israel’s PM is a flagrant and undeniable admission of war crimes. Multiple war crimes. So. Who will stop Israel?

That’s what GOP stand for, duh. Group Of Pedophiles

I had a dream I found cans of Four Loko in an Albertson's... in Japan. I think the apocalypse is coming. Anyway, new EP is out, go grab it! tangentstrategy.bandcamp.com/album/advice...

Okay, so the fun reveal was nice, but let's get down to it. I have a new EP available, called ADVICE & CONSENT. It's three songs, completely new, featuring one of the tracks I most recently debuted at my live show in July. I invite you to listen and spread it around. tangentstrategy.bandcamp.com
