I’ve been thinking how
I’ve battled with myself

Made my mom proud
But fucked my metal health

You get me down
And I’ll never be the same

You’re the one to blame
Oh you’re the one to blame

God I love this band 🫠🫶 keep on wilting bitches
you're the one to blame by wilt on Apple Music

Big wins in Maine rejecting photo voter ID, Protecting our Absentee Voting, and Establishing a Red Flag law in the wake of the Lewiston mass shooting tragedy.

Are #Laserdisc players with YPbPr component uncommon or am I just delusional?? Trying to find a reasonable one and just can’t, idk if it’s a skill issue or if I’m just unlucky. Either way it doesn’t matter all too much bc it’s not like I’ll be buying one soon but I’m still interested in researching

I’m less concerned about part of the White House being torn down, and more concerned about the fact that it’s being replaced with a $250m privately funded ballroom. I don’t think people who intend to leave office in 3 years typically spend a quarter of a billon on a 4 year construction project.

Fucking iconic holy moly #transrights
it makes sense that some dudes get afraid when being attracted to me knowing that I reprogrammed my DNA to grow tid and altered my body so it could squirt, that’s a lot of power between their legs could easily wreck em you know

Is this not a private militia that answers solely to the office of the President at this point????? Huh?????
ICE is stockpiling arms, including chemical weapons, guided missile warheads and explosive components. The spending dwarfs anything we've ever seen in the agency - a 700% increase.

The President is building an army to attack his own country.

Best comment I’ve seen on the situation (from a Late Night w/ Seth Meyers video on YouTube). Jesus Christ what even is this circus of an administration. #releasethefiles

Don’t know how I never made the connection that social connection you can make the completion of something you’ve been struggling with go a lot easier, when were y’all gonna tell me that working together with people can be more of a benefit than a curse 😭

If you think there's no good new music out there, of any genre, you're just not trying.

I’ll never understand how any administration who brings about the end of so many genuinely constructive studies and generally suppresses the scientific institution can poise themselves so popularly amongst MAGA republicans who claim to be “rational thinkers.” This is antithetical to reason.

The federal government has long surveyed high schoolers to help track how their academic choices may have influenced the course of their lives. The Trump administration put an end to that effort.
The government has long researched high school experiences. Then DOGE cut the effort

I bet you’re a cool person and all, but are you “get a sword for your friends birthday” cool?

On an unrelated note, sword-wielding vigilantism has jumped 3200% in recent days. Stay safe guys

Happy bday Justin! Keep on doin what you do, + remember alcohol and swords mix extremely well

My wife and I are trying to have kids. We're looking at the cost of childcare. Frankly, it's a nightmare.

Young people struggling with the financial realities of starting a family in this country deserve a voice in the Senate. I promise you, I will fight for universal childcare.

Vid from end of TØP

Easily the best sounding show I’ve attended btw, and crazy stage setup and production on this show. I’m endlessly glad to have provided transportation for my crew for this, extremely worth the 32 hour day and 16ish hours of driving I put in.

TØP post, had a great time. Got back home at 8 am after a quick nap at a gas station, our day was: get up at 4:10am driving from home to Bangor (spent a bunch at Hot Topic) go pick up a Suburban to Houlton BACK to Bangor BACK to Houlton drop off burban then back home. My mf neck hurts so much y’all

Also while I’m online, check out this video if you use Spotify and care about lossless, might convince you to use a music service that gives you it’s value out of its cost, and is hopefully a less shady company than Spotify (I say as an Apple Music user from my iPhone 😭)
