freezing the account for Habitat. these are bad people; they deserve worse things than can be prudently enumerated in a public-facing place.

Donna-Claire is one of my favorite people and she has written the definitive book on emo rap & you will be sanctified by the spirit of Lil Peep and protected by an army of America's most ferocious cats if you purchase "Crybaby."

aloha, tiktok users! just a heads up, here on bluesky, we keep it a little chiller! so if you're having a mental breakdown, don't make a big fuss, just quietly signal the mods by beginning and ending an otherwise unrelated post with the same word. any word will do, even something silly like aloha

What do music critics want from rap?

A state of the union from @sonraw.bsky.social examining the lack of energy in the mainstream, the problems w/ suburban brain rot internet-core, the structural issues w/ culture journalism & the predictable takes & cliches.

RIP Jay Briscoe. One half of one of the the greatest tag teams of all time. Right before he died, Jay was part of one of the greatest tag team feuds ever. I used to do ROH show previews and Briscoes matches I almost always had to stop and watch multiple times. Love to his family and friends today. 🤼

For the greatest year-end list on these interwebs, I had the honor and privilege of doing a write-up on Armand Hammer's phenomenal 'Doves'.

Check out the whole list here, courtesy of @passionweiss.bsky.social: www.passionweiss.com/2024/12/29/t...
Armand Hammer ft. Benjamin Booker - "Doves" There was a loud thump against the window. Startled, I opened the front door and saw it lying in the lavender bushes below the windowsill: a dove, shook, but still alive. I picked it up and I was surprised by how light it felt. Doves are plump birds, but they don’t register as such once you hold them in your hands and suddenly feel the lightness of their feathers and how brittle their bones are. “Doves”, the nine minute drumless coda to Armand Hammer’s We Buy Diabetic Test Strips finds the duo painting with murky grays, distorted guitars, and grainy textures to create an ode to life by focusing on its end. It’s a movement in three parts, starting with Benjamin Booker (who produced the song along with Kenny Segal) singing of love, with a voice that sounds both warm and thin, as if expressing contentment after a life well lived. billy woods then raps about dealing with a loved one slipping away, lacking the will to say goodbye, and his inability to focus on his own life after having done so. And then there’s ELUCID’s gripping finale, in which the protagonist finds out his time has come. While the atmosphere of the music grows increasingly darker, he mimics a child noticing his weird posture and unresponsiveness: “Daddy, you’re so silly.” It’s the sonic equivalent of Vito Corleone slumping in his seat. We tend to take love and peace for granted until we have to become more involved and recognize how fragile they actually are. I gently put the dove that hit my window in a shoebox which was picked up by a veterinarian soon after. Whether it made it through another day I do not know. – Jaap van der Doelen

“Don’t you feel like fighting AI is a losing battle?”

Yeah I mean maybe? When it can actually do all the crap they’re pretending it can do?

My fight isn’t against AI. It’s against con artists. Tech bros running speculation scams. CEO’s. Fake gurus. Lazy hacks.

My fight is with human shitlords.
