What percentage of Don Jr.'s wedding guests do you think we're only attending so they could deliver their bribes to his dad in person?

Good morning Join me in celebrating and honoring Harvey Milk Today is Harvey Milk Day Now more than ever His words are needed "HOPE WILL NEVER BE SILENT " "All people regardless of sexual orientation or identity, deserve a safe and supportive environment "

It's a very spooky collection of new music today in recognition of World Goth Day. #MetalSky #WorldGothDay #metal #music bothkindsofheavy.weebly.com/home/new-mus...

Shout out to this guy in the Oasis vest in the Carcass pit.

@bicycleidiot.bsky.social Just read your GoFundMe update and I'm so glad to hear all the positive news!

minnesota gov. tim walz has signed a bill banning prediction markes (kalshi, polymarket). first state-level ban of its kind. (sports betting via traditional/mobile sports books is still illegal here too)

The fact that I put on black metal when I had a headache and it went away says something. I'm not sure what, but it says something.

close friends who are aware of my bizarre, fucked-up personal situation have encouraged (bullied) me to create more of a clear-cut fundraising campaign to help with my upcoming move. if you can chip in, great! thank you! but please only do so if you can spare it. 💚 ko-fi.com/interrobangb...

This week's music have a pretty wide variety, including black metal, grindcore, experiment, and at least one cover by a singing clown. #metalsky bothkindsofheavy.weebly.com/home/new-mus...

As a kid I absolutely hated gym class. As an adult, I legitimately love working out. I often wonder what things would be like if I learned to love exercise as a kid instead of in my 40s.

Got big things happening this weekend, so it's a shorter update this week. Still, solid tunes! bothkindsofheavy.weebly.com/home/new-mus...

This Gallowbraid album is working for me. @fireinthemountains.bsky.social #MetalSky music.youtube.com/playlist?lis...

The GOP has not flipped a legislative seat in any state since 2024. Democrats, meanwhile, have flipped 5 seats so far in 2026. And that's after flipping 25 in 2025 (which was 21% of all GOP-held seats in play), as you'll recall: boltsmag.org/legislative-...

One of the joys of going to a festival is listening to the lineup in advance. bothkindsofheavy.weebly.com/home/listeni...

The new Neurosis album is fully bonded to my soul. I've listened to it at least 20 times start to finish since it came out and I hear bits of it in my brain every single day. An unqualified masterpiece and it's inconceivable that it won't be my album of the year.

100,000% Even in my blue state of Minnesota, EV charging infrastructure is lacking. My average daily driving is under 20 miles so regular use isn't a problem. But longer trips are legitimately an issue due to charger availability.

This week's new music roundup has a couple heavy bands from Japan, one from Indonesia, a stoner band from Sweden, an a track from American expats living in Germany. But there's a Minneapolis local band in the mix, too! #MetalSky bothkindsofheavy.weebly.com/home/new-mus...

Peggy good. Angie bad. Vote accordingly.

The feeling when you've got tons of meetings but you just want to listen to Japanese noise rock all day.

This album is kicking my butt in the best way this morning. music.youtube.com/playlist?lis...

So according to the 6 white supremacists on the Supreme Court, blue states can now draw up entirely blue Congressional maps and erase all red districts without hesitation. Fascist republicans want to start this fight and Democrats need to buck the fuck up and finish it.

Grief weighs heavily today.

Did some more pull-ups today and I'm a little better today than last week. Slow progress is still progress.

I sincerely believe a winning message for the Democrats is "We are for government that works for you. Republicans are for making sure it doesn't."

Today's new music recommendations included an angry swiss protest song, some blackened Czech post-metal, 90s alt rock, and a three hour live album. #MetalSky bothkindsofheavy.weebly.com/home/new-mus...

In an effort to get more eyes on my dinky little metal blog, I set up a Facebook page, because I'm dedicated to being a decade behind the times. If you like metal and fitness, perhaps you'll give it a follow? www.facebook.com/share/1KMvoP...

for white supremacists the paradox they are *constantly* wrestling with is "if we're so superior why are we losing" for male supremacists it's the same: "if men are so naturally superior where did all the patriarchy go" one way out is this desperate reinscription of the natural

as another cis dude, this is absolutely true. Cis men are typically not encouraged to think about gender, except in very negative ways ("you're unmanly if you have any emotions other than rage"), requiring you to walk a tightrope greased with unfollowable rules, over the pit of The Gay.

Hey, a crumb of good news!

I wrote a long piece about my best friend and our shared love of music. It would mean a lot to me if you'd read it. Rest in Peace, Nate. bothkindsofheavy.weebly.com/home/the-mus...

My best friend passed away suddenly this week. My stupid little weekly music column feels unimportant at the moment, but he loved metal and he'd much prefer that I just write about that and shut up about him. So we press on. Love you forever, my brother. bothkindsofheavy.weebly.com/home/new-mus...

Not to ignore very real problems with our outreach — but I’m getting quite tired of reading “why Democrats are losing young men” stories that don’t mention Democrats leading young men by 12-points on the generic ballot.

Life is short. Hug your people and tell them you love them. You never know when it'll be the last time. 💔

WHAT WE KNOW, 11pm: —Liberals flip seat on Wisconsin supreme court. —Also flip important school board seats in WI, OK, MO. —Dems win Waukesha mayor race. —GOP defends MTG's seat, but Dems way overperform. —Big MO county rejects property tax freeze.

What a result: A Democratic-backed candidate has won the mayoral election in Waukesha, the biggest city in the notoriously conservative Waukesha County. Alicia Halvensleben will be the next mayor. She defeated a GOP state lawmaker.
