This isn’t who it would be if it wasn’t who it is. You gotta go down if you want to get up. This is the Bluesky Edition of Chop. The OG Chop is still here - https://bsky.app/profile/chopaganda.shakedown.social.ap.brid.gy
Moderating a forum is often a thankless job, but holy fuck do some of the Reddit moderators take themselves way too seriously. I never thought asking a question about shopping for a TV in a form about shopping for TVs could be so offensive.

Field of Vision forecast holding steady. Pack those rain jackets and extra footwear. It’s gonna be some brilliant combo of gorgeous, sunny, rainy, warm, brisk, and maybe a little scary. Likely all of the above—maybe in a matter of hours. Colorado rules.
Currently crippled from a hike yesterday due to what I *think* is tendonitis in my Achilles, and I just want to emphasize that getting older is one kick in the nuts after another.

Gonna repost myself & dare anyone who doesn’t realize this to spend 15 min on Fox News in prime time. Ever wonder how seemingly good people can vote Right? They often aren’t. They’re voting against the Dems bc the media brainwashed them to think it’s the only option—rapist president and all. 1/2
Bluesky Chop@chopaganda.bsky.social · 2d agoThe other thing right wing media is so good at is convincing people that even if they don’t align with all the terrible things the right stands for, the Democrats are far worse and will destroy life as we know it.
It’s crazy how much more addicting the best jams from this Phish tour are on relisten than any other in 4.0—maybe any tour since 2015. Love how they stuck with fewer themes longer—blowing them out (often with ripping peaks)—instead of dinking and dunking through an endless parade of motifs.

I don’t see why people keep saying trans women in sports aren’t a problem. It was wrong to let Grandmama suit up in the 90s, and it’s wrong today. #TeamSophie youtu.be/gmqZjViEe_I

For anyone else who may have missed the story, this is just straight up uncut pure racism liveforlivemusic.com/news/jake-ci...
Jake Cinninger Apologizes For Racist Comments Made On Social Media
Former Umphrey's McGee guitarist Jake Cinninger has apologized for a series of racist comments he made on social media.
liveforlivemusic.com
Dude is one of my favorite musicians ever, and he’s so fucking gifted. But to apologize for offending people with your “use of words” when you’re caught being a racist is some incredible self-absorbed and tone-deaf shit. Makes me sad I’ll likely never see him play again, but fuck Jake Cinninger.
Finally watched Project Hail Mary and just wanted to say fuck that movie. Hour too long. Flew through the most interesting parts. Overkill of Gosling monologues to tell the story. Did a horrible job on the science part of science fiction. Did not come close to the hype.

The thing is that in this world we’re just beginning to understand the miracle of living. Baby, I was afraid before. But I’m not afraid anymore.
As someone who came to terms with going back to Atlantic City in December, I’ll say that we whined like babies before the 2010 and 2013 Phish runs. Both turned out to be an absolute blast (except the Wingsuit set). AC was a great show city, being on the ocean ruled, and Whitehouse Subs is elite.
Logging in to see if anyone woke up with balloons in their pocket today. That seemed to generate some very thoughtful and stimulating conversation yesterday.
For those going to Field of Vision — Make sure you have a good rain jacket (anything cheaper than Columbia or REI is likely crap) + pack extra footwear. While Colorado weather is a crapshoot hour-to-hour, our midrange patterns usually hold up pretty well, and it’s been a strong monsoon season.

How it feels being an #Arsenal fan right now as you look at the 3 most-rumored players for a big-name left wing signing.
The implications of 90s year tributes and the Rangers having 12/29 at MSG are pretty interesting. Option 1: Shows run 12/27-28 & 12/30-31 but the “year” gag is over would mean the Su-Mo shows with Tues off would be some of the lowest-attended MSG shows ever. Option 2: 12/27-28 and 30-31… 1/3
#Phish 90s Run #Ranked 94 <gap> 96 <gap> 92 93 <gap> 95 Major fan service in Harpua made up for a very tame/kind-of-boring S1 despite some rarities. S2 was absolutely fantastic but not enough to top 94—which was just that damn good. Will be interesting to see Fenway with the 90s shackles off.

I know I’m the target audience for this stuff, but Gizz’s second single release from the new album is even sicker than the first. Super stoked for Field of Vision, but I sure hope they save the new material for every single night when I’m there. Love Live Da Gizz frfr fam #Nathan
It’s like Gizz broke through with American jamband fans and started seeing seas of gray beards and balding heads in the audience, so they went away and crafted a plan to get rid of all the olds.

Since I didn’t make it out to MSG, I found myself at Dogs in a Pile with a bunch of friends last night. 1) My seat was right in front of the Frasco-looking Dog, and holy shit does that kid rip. 2) They are getting quite good. Definitely leveling up from jamband joke and showing legit potential.
