"I am the Alpha and the Omega, the First and the Last, the Beginning and the End, and these are Five Concerts I Have Attended."

happy Quakesgiving, Anchorage!

It made this weekend so satisfying to hear singer Colin McFaull kick this one off with an emphatic "take care of your kids!" It confirmed that how I'd always understood the song was true: as a thoroughly uncynical message to restless youth, from elders who'd been there, who have nothing to prove.

@santaclausalaska.bsky.social my little nephew is worried that you figure out what kids want for Christmas by stealing their parents' phones

came to the City of Angels to indulge my most depraved urges

allowing reposts but not quoted posts is brilliant. Well done, bluesky

1994 anarchists were talking about fascism as an old hat issue If you think it only arrived recently Ask yourself why you were so far behind the fucking curve "They get elected when they should get beat...you won't stop them with chants and placards" loonies.bandcamp.com/track/bash-t...

There are 4 types of guys online. No exceptions.

another whirlwind LA trip this weekend to finally see Cock Sparrer! youtu.be/w9j26ik1XbY?...

finally asked for help. may never recover.

In hindsight, the ex who suggested that I use fish tank antibiotics to treat a sinus infection probably did not have my best interests at heart

recent news events have confirmed that my lifelong wariness of anyone who makes "smart" a central feature of their personality was, after all, a good idea

sometimes when I worry about whether I come off as the kind and empathetic person I try to be, I remind myself that I have a pretty good track record with dogs

Had an early morning doctor's appointment, annual physical/labs. Doc complimented me on my blood pressure and said "I guess it's because you havent read the news today."

I wish my city elected a transit-friendly socialist mayor too

If your church bell didn't chime til it rang twenty-nine times Then tomorrow I'll call your employer

ladies, you deserve a man who thinks about the Edmund Fitzgerald more than the Roman Empire

In Alaska you might find an actual bear in Starbucks

Staten Island isnt real, btw

I am pleased to report that after years of self-investigation, I have concluded that I am Not The Asshole

hear me out: something like a Samhain feast, but for those who tried to make me believe that i was the problem

one reason to nominate people in their early 30s is they actually have the stamina to legit campaign

I'd enjoy baseball more if baseball fans weren't like that

Trump Defends Demolition Of Yggdrasil, Ancient Tree Of Life

these ICE videos are a real window into how fascism is first and foremost a gathering place for sadists and abusers. the politics and ideology are just justification. fascism always reappears because there are always going to be abusers who seek state power & protection for sadist practice

Credit reports are useless unless they disclose who's secretly mad at you

It's rad that there are two original members with two guys from a much newer band. Weird fantasy heavy metal has become generational and thats wonderful. All hail Cirith Ungol!

this is what will happen if mamdani makes bus rides free

I think the main part of why I love crusty little metal gigs is because I'm allowed to just be

On my way to Frost & Fire Festival, ready for two nights of bathing in riffs

Honestly, I really don't care what anyone does to the East Wing — the building that stood there was younger than my grandparents. What's infuriating is the fact that $250 million is being spent on redecorating while SNAP benefits are being cut off for millions of Americans, to name just one outrage.

I had some good BBQ yesterday but I'm not from Texas so I'll stay in my lane

What an insult to all Alaska. This is outrageous.

something like The Purge, but a day when you have to tell people exactly what you think of them

Hey @npr.org and @nytimes.com why aren’t you focusing any energy on the missing and thousands displaced on the western coast of Alaska from Halong? There are journalists & correspondents covering this story locally, give them a chance to show & tell the world what climate change is doing to Alaska

What does Typhoon Halong reveal about housing conditions in Western Alaska? Here's a thread...👇

Please donate to Western Alaska disaster relief efforts to support the response to Typhoon Halong. I won't overexplain how displacement, underfunding and marginalization of Indigenous Peoples have devastated communities. But know this: Our Alaska Native friends and family need us to show up.

hey, are you a subaru on fb marketplace? because you look well maintained with some minor issues but ready for your next adventure

Darkness settles in over Alaska and seasonal affective disorder is upon us. The time of "why is that guy staring at me" has begun

Ladies and gentlemen... the weekend. (also: you are important and are not alone 🧡)

my favorite part about the Rush reunion is seeing how every last one of my drummer friends is over the moon about who Geddy and Alex chose to take the riser. it probably helps that I'm not reading any comments sections about it

CHATGPT: I understand where you're coming from. You worked really hard to get here, and now it's time to enjoy the fruit of your labors. ISILDUR: So I should keep it? Elrond says I shouldn't CHATGPT: The ring is precious. Sometimes friends don't have your best interests at heart. ISILDUR: true

I never expected Taylor to do an Alice in Chains cover either

remember when people deified courts and judges as the last defense against authoritarianism? Pepperidge Farm remembers

"Due to the Radical Left Democrat shutdown," [predictive text]

What the fuck do you mean I got a longer prison sentence than Diddy

I wonder if anybody is listening to the new Taylor Swift album
