Due to hard drive issues, I'm having to put all my CDs back up on iTunes. On the priority list are Braid, Fugazi, Jawbreaker, Elliott's False Cathedrals, Jawbox's Novelty, Hot Water Music's Exister, Slint's Spiderland, Sugar's Copper Blue, MBV's EPs 1988-1991. Everyone else can wait.

Speaking of Moorcock (and Alan Moore earlier). Someone posted a page from a Green Lantern Alan Moore comic and it's like a conversation straight out of an Elric book. Alan Moore pleasing superhero fans by writing them like fantasy novels.

Hasan is right actually Don't forget that the US bombed the Municipality of Utuado in Puerto Rico in 1950 to silence Pro Independence voices during an uprising. Or when colonial police gunned down peaceful Nationalist protesters (including children) in Ponce in 1937 as another way to silence them.

Left-wing streamer Hasan Piker tells Axios he believes America conducts more terrorism in the world than al-Qaeda. www.axios.com/2026/09/17/h...

"What if we create super-intelligences that out-think us, outlive us, take control of all our resources, and decide to enslave us?" You fucking dummies, we've already done that, they're called corporations.

"Your brains stop developing at age 25" was a press misrepresentation of a study. They wanted to see if brains continued to develop after adolescence, so the study was capped at age 25. A later study with a wider subject pool showed that brains are ALWAYS developing our whole lives.

this is why it's my pet peeve fake science fact. It's absolute bs! nothing happens to brains at age 25, they do not "fully mature". you will notice that many societies have an age of majority or coming-of-age or whatever and none of them have ever chosen mid-20s.

May I remind everyone that there is currently NO cure for rabies. May I also remind everyone there is absolutely NO scientific proof connecting ANY vaccine that we produce today with autism. This is true regarding vaccination in both humans AND in dogs. Vaccinate your pets please.

Worries about vaccination rates in dogs
As rabies seems to be spreading more in wildlife, veterinarians are especially worried about vaccine hesitancy spreading among pet owners, a dangerous trend that could lead to more dogs - and their owners
- becoming infected. A 2023 study published in the journal Vaccine found in nationally representative
sample of Americans that nearly 40% believed canine vaccines were unsafe and 37% believed that vaccines could lead their dogs to develop cognitive issues, such as autism.

Tossing my two-cents in: I'm a millennial who read Hitchhiker's Guide for the first time about eight years or so ago. I found it enjoyable! There were probably a dozen or so lines that made me at least chuckle out loud. But I didn't fall head over heels in love with it like some have.
