Watching the second Hobbit movie with the kid and it is wild how much worse these look than the LoTR movies.

My picks this week include three collaborative albums, two noise rock albums, and a digression about the best movie soundtrack of all time. #Metalsky bothkindsofheavy.weebly.com/home/friday-...

Today and every day, remember that trans rights are human rights.

Growing up in a time when “selling out” was the most shameful thing you could do and then being forced to live through the 2020s feels like being kicked in the head by a horse every day

The Epstein files released today did not come from the DOJ's Epstein Files. They came from Epstein's estate. Pam Bondi is still protecting Trump at all costs. Today's release by Democrats was aimed at undermining her efforts. And to make it harder for Donald to pardon Ghislaine Maxwell.

I saw the color pink on the stage and in the sky last night. bothkindsofheavy.weebly.com/home/abbrevi... #metalsky

The sky in Northeast Minneapolis

Pink and pink.

Welp, I can officially confirm that I do not like Bongzilla.

instead of saying this was good strategy, maybe senate dems should say: "the republicans were going to kill people by starving them to death, and because we aren't monsters, we decided to let this fight go. We'll keep fighting. Stop electing monsters."

I like Dan Trachtenberg's filmmaking philosophy, which seems to be "What if movies were fun and cool?"

this is literally never not accurate

"Active Participant." It's like elementary school all over again. Check my BlueSky-Score on: blueskyscore.com/jzossmpls.bs...

This is a morally repugnant betrayal of House Democrats, of Democratic activists, and of Democratic state electeds who have been fighting this out in the court of public opinion. We trusted Senate Dems to negotiate. They fucked us. Just fucking enraging.

The new Anna Von Hauswolff album is incredible. Absolutely in contention for my no. 1 album of the year.

Mamdani is going to implement Shazam law. Every will be granted the Wisdom of Solomon, Strength of Hercules, Stamina of Atlas, Power of Zeus, Courage of Achilles, and Speed of Mercury.

40 years ago we’d have congressional hearings falsely accusing metal bands of putting backwards messages in their songs that told kids to kill themselves & now we have a planet-killing chatbot that’s all like “bet you won’t commit suicide chickenshit bitch” & the government is like here’s $5 billion

I genuinely believe that getting rid of the electoral college is critical to healing this country's political divide. It creates artificial boundaries and skews perceptions of our fellow Americans.

This has not gotten much attention, but it should. Virginia under Youngkin returned to an insanely harsh system where people convicted of any felony lose their voting rights FOR LIFE. Dems' win this week mean they'll get to advance a constitutional amendment to end lifetime disenfranchisement.

Here's my latest roundup of music recommendations, including a couple new releases, some singles, and an absolute banger I missed last week. #metalsky #musicsky bothkindsofheavy.weebly.com/home/friday-...

Strength training is political. We have a right-wing which has taken over physical fitness spaces, and hijacked “warrior culture”. We need a muscular progressivist visions. We need to be strong to build the world we want. Building my guns for the revolution. 💪🏾✊🏾 #Swoletariat #ResistanceTraining”

Cool, great. Let's make that happen.

I’ve been in a lot of rooms with people having a medical emergency; it’s a rare “skill” to be this utterly disinterested in the person’s welfare 😳

I have been listening to Melvins all afternoon, AMA.

BREAKING: SANDWICH GUY ACQUITTED. NOT GUILTY!

He’s almost always on point—solid doubles and triples weekly—but this is grand slam level shit from @gregsargent.bsky.social Must. Read. Today. Here: newrepublic.com/article/2027...

So, this recently released version of Born in the USA absolutely rips. music.youtube.com/watch?v=3Jyb...

The scene in the movie when the hero explains to the villain that all New Yorkers are a team gets me Every. Fucking. Time. And here it is in real life.

we all really needed this, didn’t we?

Take a breath, Minneapolis.

Super, super early to make this call, but I think Fateh is going to win the #Minneapolis mayor's race on the second or third round.

Run everywhere. And this is what happens. Teamwork!!!!!

Detroit City Council President Mary Sheffield has won the mayor’s race, according to the Associated Press. She becomes the city’s first woman mayor, a Black woman, with housing for single-mother-led households as a major part of her legacy and platform. 19thnews.org/2025/11/mary...

The worst people are having a bad night. You truly love to see it.

Looks like the Dems will pick up 12 seats in the VA House of Delegates, which will go from 51-49 to 63-37 D-R. That's an honestly shocking result.

highlighted the R > D flips (as of right now, 9:30 PM EST) in the Virginia House of Delegates - counting 11 currently, which is massive. again, no D > R flips as of now

ZOHRAN MAMDANI

Good God, what a night!

Every single county in Virginia shifted Blue.

Virginia's results mean that Democrats will be able to continue their maneuver to advance a constitutional amendment to redistrict the state, including passing it through the state legislature again in January and scheduling a special election referendum for the spring.

I think a thing we'll learn tonight is that people fucking hate what is going on and they will straight ticket vote against anyone involved in starving people while pillaging the country and kidnapping their neighbors. I don't think it matters at all who that person is.

And I was already having a great night!

BREAKING: Democrat Corey O’Connor is elected Pittsburgh mayor, defeating Republican Tony Moreno. Follow AP for live updates.

BREAKING: Pennsylvania voters approve to retain three state Supreme Court justices, NBC News projects, preserving Democrats’ 5-2 majority on the state’s high court.

this is looking significantly worse for the gop than 2021 was for Ds. will pundits treat it as a sweeping rebuke of Trump? or are they not allowed to put that in the papers now?

A seeming bit of history tonight as Ghazala Hashmi becomes the first Asian American to win statewide office in Virginia - and the first Muslim woman to win statewide office *anywhere* in the United States.
