I grew up on 90s alternative rock but I never expected to be as much of a metal head as I’ve become in my 40s. I’m a true metal head now.

I have a redeem which allows people to suggest albums for me to listen to so I’ve now listened to three Taylor Swift albums and it convinced me I’m basic. I like tay tay songs that go fast. I think I just like upbeat music overall. When your favorite song on Red is Holy Ground.

I have a hard time with the concept of tradition so much so that my therapist pushed me to look for traditions I’m ok with this week and so with the loss of Egg what to write or even to write has felt hard. So to keep it short he was a good egg.

Really enjoying #swpaca 2026! Someone said it’s like comic con with citations. A very fun conference so far!

Three months ago I had a string of crazy news back to back which landed me in the hospital. Since then I’ve done a complete overhaul of my life and I’ve officially lost 48 lbs. I still have another 150 to go but this first 48 still feels really good.

For all my Bsky friends who don’t watch wrestling the last time Hulk Hogan appeared in WWE he was there to promote his beer and he was booed so loudly he couldn’t be heard. He eventually just left.

Ozzy's last public appearance - saying goodbye to 45,000 people and millions online while raising £140m for worthy charities. Hogan's last public appearance - getting booed out of the building at the racist wrestling company for being too overtly racist, shilling his shit racist beer.

Woke up to a Charlie horse that was so bad my first thought coming out of sleep was “this feels like a coordinated attack! Someone wants me gone!”

The way Veo 3 is working already for one to two days it shows how AI is going to take over. The ability for spreading misinformation and lies is incredible. A year from now we are going to be cooked.

My new favorite pass time is reading conservatives argue with grok on x and keep failing to convince the AI that their conspiracy is reality.

Pretty big milestone for any streamer! I’ve hit 1k followers! #twitch

The amount of times the dems just adopt conservative messaging without even thinking about it is wild. It blows my mind how often liberal media parrot conservative media talking points and this is the perfect answer to that.

One pack and done already. I won the card game. #shinycharizard #shinyex #pokemontcg

Truly incredible that Marvel Snap was banned in the TikTok ban. Also the creators feigning they had no idea. What an incredible little story this is.

That feeling when you are trying to become someone who’s job is to understand the meta of each social media platform and you’ve yet to figure out that meta so you post on that social media to say you haven’t figured it out yet.

On the last day of class my students all became bats and flew away and then I still had to drive home in traffic. Even my dreams keep me from being magical!

Gonna go see wicked tonight and then tomorrow is the day for the birthday music trivia stream! I’m going to have lots of media facts about all these years including movie and television history. If you’re a media buff it’ll be a fun time of music trivia!

I discovered whatsamusic in June of this year so it makes sense that it hasn’t completely reinvented my tastes yet. Every year I have different bands on my top 5 because I often like to deep dives. Electric Callboy’s We Got the Moves is definitely my favorite song I discovered this year.

Incredible article on the state of music in this current age. So much of the arts industry has become on the artists to breach the new media economy as so much of the industry doesn’t understand the new trends taking over. The audience is also just not able to pay for music in its current form.

It’s a week and a half out but my partner made me this amazing flyer and I have to show it off!

Hundreds of Beavers is the best representation of the silent film era and cartoon culture of the early 20th century put into a video game film and slapstick comedy. Truly incredible art and a movie which never feels long and is funny in every moment. Truly impressive.

Coming to the end of the day I walk to my office pull out my keys, grab my car key and push the unlock button and look at my door confused as to why it’s not open and then realize I’m a dumbass.

@hermioneclone.bsky.social could I potentially be added to one of the media cultural studies starter packs? I’m a PhD candidate at umass Boston in sociology specializing in media, social media and culture. My diss will be on twitch and improv and I teach about the Hollywood system in courses.

Cultural #sociology is the name of the game today as I really get into Bluesky, update my feeds, connect to sociologists and use this app as a part of my repertoire. I am a cultural and digital sociologist PhD candidate specializing in social media, broadcast media and performance spaces. #socsky

Tonight 6 pm est! Whatsamusic! For those that haven’t played it, it’s a community game where you guess music with me. I host and say a theme like 90s alt rock. You come up with a song from 90s alt rock and we all listen to a clip and guess artist and title. Try it with us on twitch at thirdmango!

Most of my reach here is online community and as someone who teaches about social issues I’d say the best advice right now is to reach out to people who feel alone and if you feel alone reach out. This result is demoralizing so remember to help each other stay afloat.

I told myself to stay away from social media because it would be ugly but in reality it’s just millions of people being as hurt as I am.

Want to give a shout-out to @whatsamookgames.bsky.social for Whatsamusic. It has reignited my love for streaming and I’ve been having significant success with this fantastic game. Such incredible love to the team over there!

Seven’s surgery went well with no complications!

My partner Seven is going in for surgery today! Gonna have one of those nervous wreck in a hospital lobby montages today! Wish us luck!

Hit 700 followers off stream today! Thanks for the love!

We hit a milestone on our stream that I quite literally never thought would ever happen. So I want to thank everyone that’s helped in getting me there in some way shape or form. Thank you so much.

One of my readings today looks at the social capital between steamer and audience and five key incentives for both audience and performer. So thinking of one of those here: information dissemination. How important is it to you that a streamer is able to give you good or interesting information?

Caravan Palace new album Gangbusters Melody gets a 4.5 out of 5. Best song on the album is Mirrors but overall the album picks up where the last one let off of doing some interesting electro-swing and showing how Palace are at the front of the electro swing genre.

I’m not much of a horror streamer but I am a music boy so I’m going to try some Killer Frequency, a horror game where you’re a radio DJ. If that sounds interesting come check out the stream today at twitch.tv/thirdmango

One of the coolest people I’ve ever known right here.

When your day is full of sociology you tend to see the world through trends. So to be a part of the whatsamusic trend and seeing it flourish is incredibly exciting. If you like twitch and stats I’ll be doing a lot of that here.

Had the best stream I’ve ever had last night. I’ve found my niche in whatsamusic. It allows me to be a radio dj and also throw in my comedy chops. I’m really enjoying my time streaming again and it’s becoming very fulfilling.
