Politics, man, politics are.... so fucking stupid.
John@johnlk.bsky.social · 12h agoSo, uh, a candidate who suspended his campaign a month ago is winning a landslide against a Trump endorsed candidate because of anti-Muslim prejudice against a guy who is not Muslim (and I guess probably also just regular racism). How often does a candidate who suspended their campaign win?
Okay, I'll be more straightforward. PLEASE GO LISTEN TO THIS AND GIVE SOME SORT OF FEEDBACK. Like all creative people, my creative spirit requires some kind of audience for sustenance. First 10 people to comment will get... uh... some really appreciative comments in return.
Damion Schubert@zenofdesign.com · 2d agoOkay, I'm not gonna lie, this one kind of came out rocking. If the music genre 'sleazy folk rock' sounds at all appealing to you, listen to this and tell me what you think
Just thinking of this for no particular reason.
Aaron Rupar@atrupar.com · 13h agoQ: Any comment on Rep. Max Miller? TRUMP: I hope he's able to work it out. I feel badly for him.
Happy "I used to work at EA so I still have a whole bunch of stock I kinda forgot about" day to all those who celebrate.
Kotaku@kotaku.com · 20h agoWell, I guess Electronic Arts belongs to Saudi Arabia, private equity, and Jared Kushner now. https://kotaku.com/electronic-arts-officially-belongs-saudi-arabia-jared-kushner-now-2000721666
i know votes are still being counted but the more i look at this michigan senate map the more it becomes clear that it kind of looks like a mitten
"Does the guy who was polling at up 20 points but now appears likely to squeak by a close race against a relatively unimpressive opponent look electable now?"
Sam@samd.bsky.social · 13h agoregardless of which candidate you support I really hate this bit where pundits pretend being electable in a primary makes you electable in the general election just ask senators Hershel Walker, Blake Masters, Todd Akin, Richard Mourdock, and Sharron Angle how that worked out for them
Describing the COVID vaccine as a therapeutic is so staggeringly ignorant of how the COVID vaccine works that you can safely disregard anything this particular poster has to say.
Voices and Vaccines@voicesandvaccines.bsky.social · 15h agoThe SARS-CoV-2 vaccine is unlike other vaccines. It is more like a therapeutic. Therapeutics reduce symptoms. Other vaccines traditionally provide decades of sterilizing immunity, if not for a lifetime. This means when someone is vaccinated, they can’t become infected.
Going to the dentist today is like stepping into a sci-fi movie compared to going to the dentist when I was a kid. Their ability to find problems, fix them quickly and even do things like mold replacement teeth on site are like magic compared to 30-40 years ago.
Constantine@ajaxsinger.bsky.social · 15h agoFood, man. Food is so much better than it was in 1986. All of it. Poor-people food, restaurant food, fresh food, frozen food. Food is just a hell of a lot better.
hey guys maybe chill out about drawing conclusions about a state with notoriously bouncy county-by-county results before even 40% of the votes are in
That's weird, lots of people told me that the idea this would happen was a whisper campaign by ((AIPAC)).

RFKJr claims Lyme disease was created by scientists,which is the closest he’s come to admitting that science exists. Meanwhile, Ötzi the Iceman, who died more than 5.3K years ago, had Lyme disease. Apparently prehistoric humans are part of the conspiracy. Get me off this timeline
There was a huge momentous change in music in 1991, but because that's the year I went to college, my brain remembers it as "All my high school friends liked Guns n Roses and Motley Crue and all my college friends liked Jane's Addiction and Nirvana."
This is literally me doing music production in my bedroom.
Jack Boot@jackboot.bsky.social · 2d agoStop calling me an amateur. I've been doing this for decades. I'm incompetent.

Dancing with Mephistopholes
I called out for an angel, and you appeared on the very next song You smelled of fire, you smelled of brimstone, and you danced to ‘Everlong’ Now my idea of deliverance is you whispering possibilities

People say that Eric Adams is a bad politician but look at him build a bipartisan consensus in Wisconsin Rapids.
Hell Gate *subscribe today!*@hellgatenyc.com · 2d agoThis past weekend, former Mayor Eric Adams was in Wisconsin Rapids—population 18,654—trying to convince residents that they should allow a real estate developer to build a data center in the heart of their town. The public hearing did not go well. hellgatenyc.com/eric-adams-i...
Sometimes when I'm stuck songwriting a line, I use Claude to help. Mostly, I end up going 'god no, that's fucking horrible' but sometimes it does successfully break the logjam.
As someone who used to work at Netflix, here's my big reminder: Whatever your favorite streaming show that got cancelled is, it got cancelled because not enough people watched it. If you love someone, evangelize it - here and elsewhere.
Empire Magazine@empiremagazine.bsky.social · 6d agoMarvel's Wonder Man has been cancelled at Disney+ just four months after scoring a Season 2 renewal. Read more: www.empireonline.com/tv/new...
Yes indeed, why on earth would a frequently beaten woman go out of her way to appear to be a good wife.
The Bulwark@thebulwark.com · 3d agoRep. Max Miller: "My former wife has claimed that during a custody exchange at my home that day, I assaulted her…If I had assaulted her, would she have offered to cook me dinner six days later?"
Either I have stockholm syndrome from working on this song or it's actually starting to get pretty good.
Damion Schubert@zenofdesign.com · 4d agoThe reason I don't record more of my music is that I am cursed to simultaneously be an incredibly sloppy player as well as a perfectionist.
