Have never read any Banks, though he has been recommended to me many times. Waterworld of course isn’t “good” but it has a lot of cool Mad Max-like set pieces

avant dumb @avantdumb.bsky.social · 2d

Thinking about the scene in Waterworld where Kevin Costner is locked in a cage suspended above a lethal pool of compost slurry, such that escaping would result in falling into the slurry that they’ll lower him into eventually anyway, for the 1,575th consecutive week

Funny how uniformly people are interpreting “acid” in the album title to mean LSD - not what the lyrics imply

This type of corny shit makes me want to boo him more, not less

Coach Finstock @coachfinstock.bsky.social · 4d

Philly booing Ohtani cmon man. He's not a Dodger he's our national baseball Folk Hero. He is for everyone. He loves dogs and hits balls 500 ft and throws the ball 100 mph.

A densely cerebral excursion into warped riffs, fractured rhythms, and unyielding intensity. The album redefines the framework of death metal, crafting something volatile, unpredictable, and deeply unsettling.

This should've been a way bigger recurring trope in the show

Maybe I’ll just go full first Obituary album and scream “yabba dabba doo” over every riff this time

I say the Aqua Teen Hunger Force line about "it don't matter. None'a this matters" whenever things feel unbearably stressful. Pretty soon it's going to be the only thing I say

Tony Romo just blatantly hammered in the broadcast booth at this point. Brockmire-type shit. Wish I could get away with that at my job

This is the most we have ever looked like a real ‘90s death metal band

People are whispering about it in secret I guess and that is appropriate for this album

We’ve sold through a lot of the Umulamahri vinyl already and I’m genuinely unsure of how that happened. It hasn’t been covered by almost any publication; I don’t really understand how people are hearing about it

Does the internet have a Philly accent? Why too much time online can make you ‘culturally Philadelphian.’

Perhaps certain online corners have a special Philly pull.
