Dude most of us want you dead, someone mocking your failing company is actually quite generous.
Acyn@acyn.bsky.social · last yr.Musk: I mean, have you Tim Walz, who is a huge jerk, running on stage with the Tesla stock price.. What an evil thing to do. What a creep, what a jerk. Like who derives joy from that?
just got my tax bill and honestly I don’t know why I even bother hustling every minute of my life trying to make money to survive and thrive when ultimately I just have to give it all away to a fascist government anyway
i can't scoff at the trash sales of the cybertruck because i am still honestly surprised they managed to sell more than a hundred of the things
The best thing about Verhoeven’s STARSHIP TROOPERS is that he didn’t read the book, he couldn’t make it past the first couple of chapters
Culture Crave 🍿@culturecrave.co · last yr.New ‘Starship Troopers’ film is in development at Sony • Neill Blomkamp is directing • Will be a faithful adaptation of the novel (via THR)
been seeing a lot of people question whether trans rights are "popular enough" to be worth defending. if you gotta hold a focus group about it, i'm not interested in you. as a candidate, as a politician, as a person. anyone who won't stand up for trans rights is not worth listening to. eat shit.
loudly co-signing this sentiment!!
josh terry@joshterry.bsky.social · last yr.It's No Expectations 100. I wrote about how starting this newsletter in December 2022 changed my life. I also highlighted five great new albums from Echolalia, Laurie Torres, Sunny War, and more www.noexpectations.fyi/p/what-writi...
It’s gonna be funny when Kathleen Kennedy retires and all the dorks who blame her for Star Wars sucking now have to face the facts that Star Wars is over (Andor innocent)
Every time a major media organization does something evil there's always a bunch of media guys talking about how unfair it is to expect anyone to quit in protest. How they have families etc. Yes that is why quitting in protest is admirable. Because it is hard not because it is easy.
Another yapfest for New Bloom Festival this week with Ned from Glitterer & Title Fight. Dialling in from Peru, Ned talks about intentionality, how touring has shaped his entire adult life, the seductive trap of solipsism, and cultivating a hardcore mindset 💆🏼♂️🔥 #music #musicsky #musicfeed #newmusic

Name a scene from your childhood that ripped your heart out
Bee Delores@beedelores.bsky.social · last yr.Name a scene from your childhood that ripped your heart out
yeah look this rocks but nothing leaves me in dumbstruck awe at the visceral power of words to conjure up mental images of such pristine clarity and depth like the opening rush of Blood Meridian's first page
Casey Stegman@caseystegman.com · 2y agoToday, on Shirley Jackson’s birthday, let’s all marvel at one of the greatest opening paragraphs ever written (from THE HAUNTING OF HILL HOUSE)
Maybe hating on dick bosses is the great unifier, the thing that brings all Americans together.
Brian Tyler Cohen@briantylercohen.bsky.social · last yr.Elon getting ratioed on his own platform 👌
i once saw a man post one thousand times in a day. it broke and shattered him but at least he took the challenge with honor in his heart. elon approaches that velocity only through nightmarish transformations of his being
Clara Jeffery@clarajeffery.bsky.social · last yr.Musk has tweeted more than 220 times in last 24 hrs. That's not counting the replies.
Elon Musk, seeing an assassin rushing towards him like Jack Ruby, would chuck whichever kid he's using for a photo op at the killer so fast your head would spin. He would throw Techno Mechanicus or whatever kid hes pretending to parent like it was Chucky the killer doll. He'd make a weird noise too.
This week, I had an incredibly raw chat with Jack from VOV. We discussed his journey of self-discovery, VOV taking The Big Sleep, mortality, thematic resonance, legacy, last year’s phenomenal ‘What I’ll Leave Behind’ LP, and Jack's enduring love for heavy music. #metalcore #alternative #musicsky

Wormrot best band on earth rip to Wormrot and to Biquette
Hamburger Dipshit🌹@dohimjob.com · last yr.Listening to Wormrot and once again thinking about Biquette the Grindcore Goat. RIP.
Yapped with all-round good bloke Sammy from DRAIN ahead of their Down Under run for New Bloom Festival. We talk sonic progression across records, the low-end rumblings of their work-in-progress third LP, and why pool noodles in the pit are both a blessing and a (California) curse 😎🏄♂️

late mid-week grid because fuck it. we out here 😮💨
I have found the Lagrange point of illness: I am just sick enough that I can’t get any work done, but healthy enough that I feel like I should be able to write (it’s just tapping on a keyboard after all), leading to a beautiful stasis where I neither get anything done nor rest and recover
Last week, Hands Like Houses frontman Josh Raven joined the show to chat about the creative freedom that led to their new ‘ATMOSPHERICS’ double LP. We discuss being your worst critic, unlocking new vocal talents, overcoming performance anxiety, and more. #alternative #posthardcore #rock #musicsky

jd vance in 2016: while the elites at ohio state tried to lecture us about 'gender', I heard my meemaw's wise country voice calling it what it was: 'Hog Wash' jd vance in 2025: the Deutsche Volk must once again dare to meet that terrible destiny prescribed in the vedic texts
