My most controversial take is that My Blood Valentine is actually one of my least favorite of the original shoegaze wave. I like almost every one of the core bands more than I do, their layers of feedback are just too inaccessible for me. I like some songs, but not full records.

When people in my building are making small talk with me, they mostly just ask me if I'm going for a walk or getting back. I keep mostly to myself so the only thing anybody knows about me is that I am constantly walking around the neighborhood 3-5 times a day.

Garage Rock and Power Pop: The Dynamic Duo

I think about the Evel Knievel Caesars Palace jump a lot because I'm Normal but I think the most insane part is the fact that his wife was the one who caught the video of him totally failing and she understood the one key principle that you NEVER let the camera stray

[Jeopardy! theme plays ad infinitum]

This is heartbreaking. @kenjennings.bsky.social did so much damage and his actions caused a cascade that chased an innocent trans woman off the internet The fact that she has suffered all the consequences from his actions should make everyone stop and think about how privilege played out here

This Little Steven SiriuxXM station won my heart by playing a song by Tommy Stinson's super underrated power pop band Bash & Pop. Totally into it.

all betting should be illegal and require knowing criminals with no compunction about breaking your legs behind a dumpster

Theres no TAD on this soundtrack at all! Someone give Reese Witherspoon a copy of GOD’S BALLS

I do like that since I mostly quit drinking (only drink when I'm on vacation or housesitting) I almost never have to wake up and apologize to anybody.

Anecdotal but the largest audience for generative AI outside of c suite dinguses appears to be hobbyists who are furious someone charged them (or even just said there was a price) for a commissioned art piece once

I wish I could shazam a smell

This doc I'm watching is hard, cause I do think the woman murdered her husband and that is wasn't self-defense like she and her father claim. But it is also asking a LOT for me to believe the work of North Carolina investigators and prosecutors like I haven't watched The Staircase like three times

True crime documentaries love to be like "who could have possibly killed this loving spouse" and then it is ALWAYS the the other spouse.

Here locally there was an anti-Flock, pro-education funding (they just slashed tens of millions from the city schools) coalition of two running for City Council and they finished a strong 1-2 in the primary. A moderate was always gonna finish third, but the worst of them lost the nomination.

Somedays I daydream about going off grid and planning out attacks on golf courses across the country.

I can't tell you how many times I've seen liberals accuse anybody who don't like bad female politicians of being sexist. Hillary lost? Sexism obviously. Kamala lost? Sexism. Thinking AOC is the weakest member of The Squad even if you prefer the other female members? Clearly sexism.

I was in a friend’s rental car and in place of a rear-view mirror there was a mirror-sized digital video feed of the back of the car. They replaced one of the most reliable & intuitive safety features in a car with a digital surrogate that could glitch at any moment. KEEP ANALOG SAFTEY FEATURES

Spending my morning, after accidentally sleeping in later than usual, blasting the SiriusXM "Yacht Country" station which is the country companion to Yacht Rock. Basically soft and chill country music from the 70s and 80s. I'm digging it.

Why are we folding fitted sheets? They clearly do not consent

The sad thing about the Michigan Primary is that we don't make primaries a battle to the death.

to michigan voters: remember the vote blue no matter who goes both ways, so if you were expecting the abdul votes to vote centrist because stevens won, you are held to the same social contract to vote for the more leftist candidate

As I wait for my night pills to knock me on my ass, I'm listening to 70s albums by Jimmy Buffett cause this is one indie kid hipster who is also a dedicated Parrothead

My politics groupchat is already having a lot of fun watching Haley Stevens sink into the Great Lakes with these early numbers coming in. She's even struggling to have an edge in her own Congressional district and she's losing Ann Arbor like 95-5.

If you’re a trans man, know that I will always be there to tell you to get a green spiked mohawk

It is SO hard for me to buy cookies and not immediately eat them all. I'm trying to save dinner for about 9:30-10 PM tonight, but all I can think of is how much I will enjoy those pecan sandies I bought dipped in a cold mug of milk. It is swirling around my brain.

I'm mostly just surprised that more people needed this incident to realize Ken Jennings is rancid dickcheese.
