New Fury In The Slaughterhouse single dropped. Good stuff, and I've met the video's director, Olaf, a bunch of times when hanging out with the band. Great job, Olaf! It looks spectacular! www.youtube.com/watch?v=U7ac...

This new Polyphia album is might as well be called "How To Let A Producer Ruin Your Songs With Clipping and Redlining In Less Than An Hour." There's some great songs in here, but dear god, the constant BUZZZZZ flattening because the bottom end's being blown out just make it SUCH a rough listen.

Abdul El-Sayed is so good at this….

Weirdest musical question I've asked in a while. Go listen to the All That Remains song "Six" but just from 1:35-2:37. I want a band that plays THAT kind of thing all the time, without harsh vocals. Melodic dark moody metal that feels like midnight. Anyone got any idea where to start?

Dollarshop Nazis.

New albums from Jesus Jones, Echo & The Bunnymen, Tove Lo and Rodrigo y Gabriela all just dropped. Talk about figuring out where to start...

Astro City (a human-level view of a superhero world) is a great work, one I am envious of. Plus they throw in some other good things as well. Spend $25. You will not regret it.

In thirty-six months time, hopefully our prisons will be packed full, wall-to-wall, with white collar criminals from this administration, and its associated flunkies.

@thebulwark.com did a supercut of all the prior times Trump said he was going to give Americans a $5000 check or whatever. It is glorious

Description in general bores me to write. I save physical descriptions of characters for when I think it's relevant to the plot.

I've been thinking a LOT about this quote lately... and I'm more convinced it's right than I've ever been...

To quote @johnrogers.bsky.social : "A fine is a price. Nothing ever stops until a Rich White Guy goes to jail."

Some days writing feels like attempting to capture lightning in a bottle. Today felt like the bottle was greased, my feet were in a puddle and I was wearing a hat with metal antlers. Nothing works, everything hurt or was frustrating and I'm hoping tomorrow's different.

Watched the first episode of "Lanterns" and genuinely enjoyed the utter hell out of it. It's smart, snarky and still feels like it's in tune with the better runs of Green Lantern. Can't wait for the rest of it.

You know that thing about imposter syndrome never really going away? I've written about a quarter of a million words this year, and I still feel like I'm slacking and could be doing more, but I'm also really happy with the work I've produced. So yeah, it's challenging being creative for a living.

Exactly. 🥵🤬🤬

“We’re gonna go through every fucking file” is what I want to hear right now from every Dem candidate. Seed fear into the gestapo. Let them know they don’t just walk away from all this when management changes. Biden historically blew it by “moving on” from Jan6. We can’t make that mistake again.

Saw "Spider-Man: Brand New Day" today, as to avoid spoilers, and honestly? It's probably the best Marvel movie in years. There's some odd dangling threads at the end, but nothing unforgiveable. If you like Spider-Man as a character at all, definitely recommend going and seeing it writ large.

Film you've watched more than six times with a gif. Hard mode: no Star Trek, Star Wars, LOTR, Marvel, Disney, or Ghibli.

Post a perfect album from the 90s

For all the conservative pundits gnashing their teeth and lecturing us about our reactions to Lindsey Graham's death...

It's very strange living in a world where we currently have Schrodinger's Senator.

Look, Mike Johnson is so diabolical and lying at such volume that it's impossible to prove. But I think everybody knows instinctively that something is wrong here. Which means we need to remove Mike Johnson immediately.

Why bother dissolving Congress? It's clear they don't want to put up a real fight about anything. Budget, war powers, etc. Seriously, Congress, the people who bought and paid for you are going to stop paying you soon, because you're now a bad investment, because you can't do anything...

This month suddenly got CROWDED with concerts. In the next two weeks, I am seeing: Mercury Rev, The Afghan Whigs, American Football, Better Than Ezra and Chapterhouse. Next month, I get to meet Tim Freakin' Curry!

Republicans get really defensive when you bring up the whole destroying-the-economy thing.

evangelicals have finally created. the golden calf. from the classic bible story “don’t create a golden calf”

There are two cards with Devour in the Witherbloom precon, but Gorma officially does NOT see Devoured creatures in time to have them enter with additional counters. Super confusing interaction to put in a precon, but nice to have a definitive answer. Share with your Witherbloom friends!

ICE is the American Gestapo. They do not have our best interests at heart. They do not have the law at heart. The cruelty is the point, and the sooner we can get to putting these people on trial for their blatant crimes, the better.

The thieves were not very bright.

EEARTHQUAKE ALERT: It was a 4.9 and it was down in Boulder Creek, about 30 miles to the southeast of me. I'm fine. But I'll tell you what, it was certainly a jolt this late at night, when everything's usually so still.

Why we live in a world where a talent like Matthew Sweet needs a Go Fund Me is tragic.

How much longer before we start openly discussing his mental incompetence? Because it should've been yesterday. At the very least.

California, I am back within you.

Remember when we had a president who understood how numbers work? Man, those were the days...
