it's been this way for a while so i'm late to this observation, but you go on Twitter now and it really is wall-to-wall blue-tick bot accounts going "white Europeans are going extinct 😂😂😂" and "people shower every day??? and eat breakfast ???? who are these people? 😱🫣" and nothing else.

just on this: i wrote a pretty long essay about Danny L Harle's Harlecore in 2021, for Gigwise. then Gigwise's old domain died for some reason, so the article went with it. thankfully the Wayback Machine saved it because it's one of my favourites. #TheTwen2ie5

class album that not enough bands have tried to replicate, even though the formula is fuckin dynamite. just write a load of soft 60s classic pop/Brill Building ballads and suffocate them all in screeching guitar feedback. surely it's not only The Raveonettes who've tried this since?
Four decades back a major label released a debut album that sounded like almost nothing on earth while still sounding incredibly familiar. Our man in San Francisco Ned Raggett takes stock of it all

Happy Birthday to the JAMC's Psychocandy, which turns 40 today!

so we have this little Highland cow plush toy that stays on the armchair. Derek sleeps on the armchair a lot so we often find him leaning on the Highland cow, or resting his chin. today Derek started cleaning and grooming the cow like it was a living thing, his little nap buddy 😭🥺

Vardy's goal Vs Juventus, he's at it again - 38 y/o and still one of the best in the world at 1-on-1 and 1-on-2 situations.

playing FIFA 16 earlier this evening. i scored a goal that immediately made me think "surely that was offside", so i went back and watched the replay, and, yeah, absolutely no idea what's gone on here or how the CPU/game has missed it.

unsure if any of the #TheTwen2ie5 crowd will be interested but i'm ranking every Weezer song their main discography from worst to best.
ranking every Weezer song (that's on a standard issue of one of their albums, or from the SZNZ EPs) from worst to best. let's call it the #weezer195.
