I need there to be a second October this year

We are living in the era of the rube

If you say "Stevie Ray Vaughan" in the mirror three times, three white boomers show up to show you their vintage Les Paul

Real Gs suffer in silence like lasagna

Big open world games hit different as a busy adult in my 30’s. Trying to clear one game takes so many months

The social network: New records out today from Social Cig, Socially Suspect Listen to Social Cig’s ‘Patchwork: A Road Dog Story’ and Socially Suspect’s ‘Ghost Stories’ now.

Social Cig: 'Patchwork: A Road Dog Story.' Socially Suspect: 'Ghost Stories.' Huh!

It’s super annoying that Silksong is FINALLY coming out right at the same time that my video game backlog is the craziest it’s ever been. I MIGHT have time to play it next year

I watched the most recent Captain America movie last night, and I’ve reached a point where I can’t tell if Marvel movies have lost the sauce or if the illusion of quality has been broken and they’ve actually been bad the whole time

The culture war bubbling up around the new Superman movie is one of the dumbest faux conflicts I’ve ever seen

Sometimes I take for granted how much Black Sabbath kicks ass

This is a show you don’t want to miss, gonna be a real good time

I think you are 100% right

Between Benson Boone, the ominous growth of commercial country, and the way critics/culture can’t stop glazing department store-ass pop like Sabrina Carpenter, I think American music culture may be experiencing a blandness epidemic of unprecedented levels

It’s kind of wild that the US gets to decide who in the world is allowed to have nuclear weapons, considering the US is the only country that’s ever actually used nukes, ESPECIALLY considering those nukes were used on civilians

It bugs me that Turnstile is continually referred to as a hardcore band. Not in an elitist/gatekeepy ~they’re not REAL hardcore~ kind of way, but they’re doing stuff that is new/unique (and GREAT), and -imo- definitely separate from -hardcore- and I think it should be recognized as its own thing

New Doom is good. It’s all I can think about

It’s crazy how a lot of the AI features that tech companies are trying to jam into everything are basically just a modernized Bonzi Buddy

I feel like in the last several years, the internet has somehow moved way backwards in terms of being able to find out if a bar has a regular schedule of events or activities

a reminder for myself and any other artist that may need to hear it 🩶

I feel like a potentially good way to combat the rise of toxic ‘manosphere’ influencers for young guys is to emphasize that you can actually totally get laid and find love even if you’re a dumb, fat loser as long as you treat people with dignity and respect and also maybe you’re a little bit funny

Socially Suspect has something to add with cathartic “P.S.” “Finding all the words to run and make a break / Searching for escape from all these mistakes haunting every day.”

A gift that’s nice to give as well as receive

A weird side effect of the era of the algorithm is that I engage with media with the understanding that what I choose to watch/listen to/etc has CONSEQUENCES. I sometimes find myself avoiding things I actively enjoy in fear that the algorithm will serve that thing to me too much

Anyone who doesn’t think trans people are legitimate or don’t deserve to freely live their truth is a moron loser who should feel bad about making people’s lives worse for absolutely no good reason

I feel like everyone who’s decided in the past few years that Kay Perry sucks owes an apology to me, who thought she sucked the whole time

It sucks ass that getting healthier takes time and effort

fun fact, criminals and undocumented ppl also do not deserve to be disappeared into a foreign gulag
