the Mountain Goats making an album interrogating nostalgia that feels like it's in the same twisted legacy of 'Goths', largely centered in the 90s, and happens to rip like 'Bleed Out'...? Oh, I needed this.

Buying music on Bandcamp = supporting artists. Today is Bandcamp Friday! For 24 hours, we waive our revenue share, so even more of every purchase goes to the artists and labels behind the music. Go forth. The music is waiting. https://bit.ly/4pX3JPz

This is eyerollingly bad for obvious reasons - the ableism, the bad pseudoscience/sociology - but I want to add "what is wrong with a good walking stick"? Not for nothing you kind of need them on rougher trails for balance and safety. Moreover, why do you care? Let women have a fucking stick!

In a move that will surprise absolutely no one who's been paying attention, Stock has decided that women with disabilities are suffering from "social contagion"

A times column header beneath a picture of Kathleen Stock: " KATHLEEN STOCK Why are young women using walking sticks? A disproportionate number of Gen Z females are affected by vague syndromes and may be victims of social contagion"

Going to expand on this with two points. 1. LiveNation needs to take me off their mailing list. 2. We should be reminding folks that Joel Madden was dating Hilary Duff when she was underage in the 2000s, and the press tried to spin it as cute instead of predatory.

Genuine polling question here: if I were to edit together each season of Billboard BREAKDOWN into their own mega videos that are hours long, would you watch them? I already have the playlists made that chronicle the Billboard years 2015-2025, I'm curious on the video-specific format.

it’s never a great sign for your society when all the competent people who believe in doing a good job for the sake of it conclude that they’re actively being punished for these qualities, while malignantly stupid criminals are making bank

and it's funny that so many people (which, you know, including me, I'm not immune) see chart-watching as a recreational endeavor in and of itself that Billboard needs to keep entertaining like the commissioner of baseball banning the defensive shift, and not just, you know, a measuring device

When you talk about the Trojan Horse people are like "they couldn't have been that stupid" as if the United States of America didn't elect Trump twice
