Ok, #metalsky, I'm tired of f'n around with this list. I did a final re-order on Friday and I did one today and compared them and they were close. There were so many deserving albums not on list. Every time I listened to them I re-adjusted. Already re-thinking. But top is pretty set. #metalsky2024
At trivia. one of the questions was a multiple choice about who was one of Times most influential people who was a fictional character. I immediately said Max Headroom. The choices were James Bond, Bart Simpson and...Max. So my answer was so crazy and an option we went with that, but it was Bart.

Um, that's not the right poring. Unless I am an idiot and CNN isn't. I am betting on me. But....am I wrong?

Saw a young guy who looked a little like a redneck wearing a Jesus and Mary Chain - Darklands t-shirt on at the grocery store last night. Huge smile when I complimented him on it. I realized today, I never listened to Glasgow Eyes. It's pretty good!

#myweek #metalsky I'll just say the top two rows were all new to me this week and all fantastic. But Qrixkuor, Kostnatění are my weird black/death standouts, Glorious Depravity is some of the years best osdm and Pupic Slicer is that sort of mathcore that I love. Kauan is nice metal to relax with.

It's been a while since I watched the NBA, but I find this year that the Sixers are fun to watch. They are also a stresser to watch. They can be 20 points ahead, then 20 points behind and it's probably like a 1 point game at the end. I really only need to watch the final minute.

Honestly, this is probably the best outcome. Her not passing the bar means she won't be our next attorney general and her finding out psychics aren't real will make her a better lawyer, because her legal advice won't be coming from psychics.

When I got to the office today, no one was there and suddenly the remembrance of all the Veterans mentioned in sports yesterday came flooding back to me as I realized it's a holiday and that I left the house for no reason and could settle back on the couch and play video games.

Amazon Prime suggested I would like the movie Hell Squad, where sexy Vegas showgirls trade in their g-strings for k-rations and become killing machines to save an ambassadors kidnapped son. Its awful, but damn it, they are right. I love it. What does it say about me? Not sure. Nothing good, I'm sure

My wife went to a drum and bass thing tonight, so I watched YouTube videos on how to make cheese and glass. I feel I'm on my way to being useful if society collapses. Now I just got to figure out where the chemical additives come from. Hopefully I meet a chemist after it all falls apart.

Every album dude puts out is a completely different style of black metal and every one of them rules. This may be his best and least black metal. Almost more death, but still black metal. Weirdo shit in the best way possible. #metalsky

What if, the failure of the Clinton and Harris campaigns had nothing to do w/ gender/race, but that people didn't trust VP candidates named Tim? Has there ever been a Tim VP? To be safe, in 2028, any candidate the Dems run, better not pick a Tim VP, preferably not be named Tim or married to a Tim.

This is going to be fighting for death metal album of the year. Up there with Dormant Ordeal, Ossuary, Drouth, Reekmind and Floating. I liked their last album, but this feels miles above that one, from my memories at least. #metalsky

So I guess he thinks Mamdani will do so well as mayor that the people will demand him as President in 2028 despite not being eligible. Interesting take Ted. If he's going to be that successful, give the people what they want. You can illegally run your old, senile, doddering guy against him. Deal?
Ted Cruz: "I think right now the 2 frontrunners for the Democratic nomination in 2028 are AOC and Mamdani. Now, he's not even eligible, but what do they care? Law doesn't mean anything to them. That's where their party is."

My wife usually wears sweat pants to the gym. She got these new exercise pants. I said, babe, you are going to give some old guy a heart attack. It could be me. I am old guy too.

As Scalise speaks, their faces are all sort of saying the same thing (OMG, what are you saying), but Tom Emmer's really giving away the game.

As I understand it, some of the gerrymandering Republicans were doing, was based on the swing of Latino and Hispanic voters to Trump, which predictably collapsed after (waving hands) "all this". What a sweet irony it would be, if they get shellacked by creating more Dem seats via their chicanery.
