The infliction of cruelty with a good conscience is a delight to moralists. That is why they invented Hell. - Bertrand Russell

This week had me pretty busy and away from speakers/headphones for a lot of it. Still, I got some good listening in!

"Don't give him an excuse," they say about the guy who hasn't needed any excuses to engage in evil, violent acts.

It doesn't matter who owns it. It doesn't matter who books it. Hell, it doesn't even matter what the show is called! TNA is gonna LOLTNA.

Mushroom Set Trying to cover a few essentials this week. If you’re interested in sets, reach out—I’ll give you a deal + throw in some free content for the love 🖤 DM me or email [email protected] Financial links in bio Thank you! 🙏

As daily goals, "stop fascism," "defeat evil," and "save the world" probably aren't going to get you anywhere, and might leave you feeling overwhelmed and helpless, but "work towards building something good" is always achievable, concrete, and useful.

Roddy and Marina fighting. Babiest of faces, fightin' Jon Moxley. TBS Champion Willow Nightingale! STAT AND WILLOW HUG! What a fun fucking #AEWDynamite

Revolution is aimed at new arrangements; insurrection leads us no longer to let ourselves be arranged, but to arrange ourselves, and set no glittering hope on institutions Max Stirner

I just saw people arguing about "put more body positivity in heated rivalry" and others saying "its not meant to be realistic, its a fantasy" and I'm like omg you're both annoying! Fat people can be part of the fantasy! We shouldn't be there to make people feel like they did a good job.

I want more fat people in sexy shows and not for inclusivity and representation or whatever, I want it because fat people are extremely sexy.

I joined a book club to discuss this. It starts in a little over a week. I'm only 50 pages in, and it's wonderful, but the language is so beautiful and poetic that it's taking more time (and attention) than I expected.

Stossel had it coming.

Look, @eliwray.bsky.social cheered when Mox won. Then recoiled when I pointed out what had happened.

Earlier today I saw someone comment that Kris Statlander has no charisma. People will just say whatever, won't they?

Copyright is about corporate power, repression of information and maintenance of culture monopolies and everyone who thinks it's going to protect them has been sold a bill of goods

Your last saved meme is your moral philosophy.

Probably my last weekly recap of the year.

Feral Hearts Two odd beings find tenderness, or a quiet kind of love that doesn’t need naming. What they find together may be love, or safety, or simply the relief of being seen. The world around them mirrors this truth: bones feed roots, insects thrive, and so-called unwanted beings persist. -

We could definitely use Andy's words today: "There’s a future you who is surrounded by meaning and connection and beauty, and who has people around them that will catch them when they stumble and hug them when they get up." www.scarleteen.com/read/culture...

Time for this one again.

"Many blame queers for the decline of this society—we take pride in this. Some believe that we intend to shred-to-bits this civilization and its moral fabric—they couldn’t be more accurate. We’re often described as depraved, decadent, and revolting—but oh, they ain’t seen nothing yet."

Not to be gaming everything but he’s a lame duck, there is no third term, and they’ve always known they were going to kick him to the curb once they’d gotten what they wanted from him. Pivoting before a probably disastrous midterm is playbook

Reminder that if anyone is setting you up online to do some crime, THAT PERSON IS A COP. ALWAYS. WITHOUT FAIL.

People create such beauty. No matter what, that's always true.

The anti-mask cult won a big part of the culture war. It’s just wild that I’m at a major hospital and wearing masks isn’t even recommended, let alone required, while there are signs everywhere asking us to wash our hands, simply because washing hands was never turned into a culture war.

Socialization theory has been so utterly mangled that people don't fundamentally understanding it's not Girl or Boy Programming, it's absorbing the dominant cultural values we grow up with. If you grow up in a patriarchal society, you are socialized patriarchal.

Advocates of capitalism are very apt to appeal to the sacred principles of liberty, which are embodied in one maxim: The fortunate must not be restrained in the exercise of tyranny over the unfortunate. - Bertrand Russell

This seems like I didn't listen to as much, but those first two albums are very, very long. I also spent some time looking for something that scratches that Heilung itch, but there isn't anyone else that does that for me.

You know, there was a show about this 30 years ago. youtu.be/eHbp_XAiyGY?...

This week's sounds.

We're having some problems handling heavy load on this Bandcamp Friday, and are investigating.

The great thing about the Classic is that, even though I've seen who all is involved, every time they announce a particular match I have a moment of "Oh my god, that's going to be amazing!" #wrestlesky #AEWCollision

I know it's cool and metal and all, but setting your bandcamp page to this color scheme makes it really fucking hard to read. And my vision isn't even all that bad.

That "Johnny Hungee" chant warmed my heart. #AEWDynamite

Do everything you to....

This is good news.

This is a great time.

People are posting their Spotify wrapped, but last.fm is a much more accurate record of my listening habits, so here are my top 15 artists and albums of the last 365 days.

Queer is the abnormal, the strange, the dangerous. Queer involves our sexuality and our gender, but so much more. it is our desire and fantasies and more still. Queer is the cohesion of everything in conflict with the heterosexual capitalist world. - The Mary Nardini Gang
