Politicians hide themselves away. They only started the war. Why should they go out to fight? They leave that role to the poor.

Time will tell on their power minds. Making war just for fun. Treating people just like pawns in chess. Wait 'til their judgement day comes.

I honestly believe our most powerful position in a toxic time that feeds on cynicism, apathy,& despair is to genuinely care and act for a better world.

Cynicism is our enemy. We should check it, incl. on the left. It’s not intellectually superior. It’s the virus they’re trying to infect us with. NO

Late November/December was overwhelming with the amount of new music to get through while dealing with holiday travel.

First, here's what I listened to during the 11/29/24 release week. (396 songs, ~33hrs) #metalsky

Marvel Rivals has introduced me to Jeff the Land Shark, a goodest boy and national treasure that should be protected at all costs!

While doing my weekly pulls today, I saw these variant covers and had to pick them up.

My absolute favorite comic run of this past year. Bilquis, Tom, Matheus, and Clayton all cooked with this wonderful story. This hardcover edition is gorgeous!

(I really hope there are more adventures to tell with Helen and her grandfather soon.)
On preorder now— I can't stop looking at this hardcover. The printing looks so gorgeous and impeccable. There are many, many months of my life compacted in this book. What a ride! Super proud of my colleagues @tomking.bsky.social, @matlopes.bsky.social, @claytoncowles.bsky.social and @darkhorse.com

With so much new metal coming out week-to-week, I'm pivoting to a Weekly Bangers list to share.

Lots of great black, death, and thrash metal this past week from Nov 22, 2024.

Give these a listen. I hope enjoy 'em as much as I did pulling the list together.

Prog/Melodeath metal fans, don't hastily flip past the new M​ú​r album on your way over to the new Opeth. M​ú​r's self-titled is a fantastic journey filled with heavy riffs, melody, and atmosphere.

After much deliberation over the staggering amount of good music from last week, I found my personal favorite Weekly Banger.

Kromlek (Germany)
"Nunatak"
Album: III - III

A brilliantly catchy track overflowing with some vicious guitar riffs and melodies.

Last week's new metal release playlist had me at 11 hours. This week ups the ante to 16 hours with more death metal than you could fill a city morgue with... 😏 But I'm most excited to check out the new Opeth (like many others, no doubt!)

Listening to the new Apocryphal album, "Facing the End", this morning had me thinking their singer sounded a lot like Bjorn Strid from Soilwork. It turns out he sounded like Strid because the singer was Strid! Big recommend for my fellow Soilwork fans. open.spotify.com/album/0Z81Y3...

I love watching movie-making and behind-the-scenes documentaries. You learn so much about managing nearly impossible tasks and working as a part of a team from them. This 16min doc of making Alien: Romulus is a good example of that.

In an effort to actually contribute to this platform, I'm going to do a "Weekly Banger" music recommendation.

This week's recommendation I discovered via @jonbarbas.bsky.social's great interview w/ Tamás Kátai!

The Strawberry Birds are sweet - in small numbers. However it is advised to keep your distance if a flock of them is near. They get bitey in larger groups.
