2 years later I'm hearing that medium and large acts are just getting back on the bus half the time instead of asking for hotels in certain cities so like, sorry to point out another recession indicator but I think we're cooked
occasionally a little opening band will send you a rider demanding seven kinds of champagne in the "dressing room" and youre like oh you just off the festival circuit and now you're high on your own farts huh. you thought getting on the same stage as KMFDM made you famous. is that what happened here

Two years and two days ago, a woman delivered some chili to her new neighbors. Everyone was very happy and normal and there were no lasting effects.

Spoke to a second source familiar with what’s going on with paypro censorship toward me. It seems I’ve been blacklisted among paypros as a creator, particularly for mommy domme content. This could escalate into debanking, I learned

So yes, this is a “beginning of the end” thing for me and simple stuff like, for example, having a bank account. Now is a good time to fight this issue and do so very publicly — it’s a matter of financial life or death for me

Rebecca was one of the founders of Interplay and programmed & designed for some of the most influential games of my youth, notably Bard's Tale I & III and Wasteland. She will be missed.

We gotta start close-reading Dead Kennedys album artwork like it’s the writings of Nostradamus
Real tweets from the White House are indistinguishable from anti-Trump AI slop.
Or, in this case, 1990s Adbusters parodies.
