As a metal and hardcore fan who enjoys reading music journalism and listing to music podcasts, it’s frustrating that so many of the discussions around these genres focus on shit no one over the age of 19 should care about. youtube.com/shorts/fq1CZ...

How long after the launch of this do you think it will be before the AI baseball players are encouraging people to murder their families and asking children to send them nudes? My guess is less than a week.

It sucks that the Democratic Party is totally in the thrall of uncool, out-of-touch Gen X and Boomer consultants, but it’s very funny when they get lame ass establishment Dems to try and appeal to young people.

I swear to god just being a conservative should get you put on a sex offender watch list.
This level of apologia (from Megan McArdle in a podcast with Josh Barro and Ross Douthat) is fucking appalling. Idk what else there is to say.

This is why 75% of my wardrobe is heavy metal band shirts.
so much clothing is marketed as "conversation starters" but as an introvert, i want "conversation enders." no more talking. let me go home.

I'm listening to Ugly Kid Joe's 1992 album America's Least Wanted and not only does Julia Sweeney do a spoken word intro to "Goddamn Devil" and "Everything About You" as her SNL character Pat, but Pat's in the video for "Neighbor", too. www.youtube.com/watch?v=oeAm...

I like this German hardcore band Slope but the powerful 311 vibes exuded from their music is surfacing some troublesome questions like "If I listened to 311 right now would I enjoy it?" www.youtube.com/watch?v=kRmc...

It's so funny that Trump is pretty much the Evangelical idea of the antichrist as depicted in one of their goofy Pure Flix movies and they still immediately hitched their wagon to him.
Trump mocks the idea of praying during a meal at the National Prayer Breakfast:

“Mike Johnson is a very religious person... He’ll say to me sometimes at lunch, ‘Sir, may we pray?’ I say, ‘Excuse me?’ You know, we’re having lunch.”

It seems crazy to spend $250 million on the Washington Post just to turn it into The Free Press until you realize the ultra wealthy are all engaged in a conspiracy to restructure society in a way that will allow them to control people’s perception of reality.

I’ve had the Travel Channel on for 3.5 hours and all they’ve aired is shows about ghosts, aliens and guardian angels.
