I prefer Mastodon but this is a fine “we have Mastodon at home” I guess.

I've decided to do something dumb and time consuming.

Song Tournaments

This Monday I went to see one of my favorite bands, Garbage, in concert. It was awesome. This Tuesday I went to see my favorite musical artist, Nine Inch Nails, in concert. It, too, was awesome. St…

Part 50: The Hands That Feeds vs Starfuckers, Inc.

STARFUCKERS
STARFUCKERS
STARFUCKERS INCORPORATED

...I apologize to the Hand that Feeds, it is a very good song and I'm sure will do well in someone else's really long drawn out bracket poll that no one reads.

Part 49: Pinion vs Hurt

Welp.

Pinion was going to happen to someone. Hurt gets the bye.

You know, you used to complain about your home internet speed a lot back in ye olde Twitter days. Hopefully it's both better now and the church has access to more resources.

Part 48: Metal vs The Background World

Battle of the really long outros! Alas, only the Background World's one managed to make me think my record player was skipping, so Metal wins.

Part 47: The Big Come Down vs Black Noise

Big Come Down wins. Black Noise is funky but not much of a song.

Part 48: Dog New Tricks vs Time Will Destroy Everything

Dog New Tricks is a great song that I bet most people forget exists. It wins.

Part 47: Alien Sex Fiend vs Hammering in my Head

Congratulations, Andrew Cuomo!

I know how hard you worked for this.

i hate that AI has now caused me to question the authenticity of cute animal videos online, which is my primary use of social media. i don't even know if this baby penguin actually wore a beret to go buy a tiny baguette in paris

Part 46: Came Back Haunted vs Echoplex

Came Back Haunted wins. Great track.

Part 45: Branches/Bones vs The Way Out Is Through

Branches/Bones would win this if it were a complete song. I really like what’s there, but it’s just not a whole. The Way Out, it appears, is through.

Can't overstate how fucked up it is that unraveling what is arguably the greatest achievement in the history of humanity is now a motivating issue of one of the two dominant parties in the U.S.

FL is moving forward w/ plan to end all childhood vaccine mandates. Starting with hepatitis B, chickenpox, and the bacteria causing meningitis and pneumonia. Then next year GOP FL legislature is expected to revisit 1977 law re: whooping cough, measles, polio, rubella, mumps, diphtheria, and tetanus.

I’d post it but some of it is spoilery. They (Alfie) also made me post some highlights to YouTube so he could show people.

My kids have never been more impressed with me than when they watched me 100% this game over the course of a few weeks after their YouTubers kept talking about how hard it was.

They drew me fanart.

Part 46: Big Bright World vs Love to Give

I don't think their latest album is very strong, but Love to Give is one of the best songs on it, and Big Bright World isn't great either.

Love to Give wins!

Part 45: Breaking up the Girl vs Run Baby Run

I'm falling behind so I'm trying to catch up. Less wit. More results.

Run Baby Run better song.

FOX: Pritzker has asked you specifically to pause immigration enforcement operations in Chicago so kids can safety celebrate Halloween. Do you have any plans to alter activity tomorrow?

NOEM: No. We're gonna be out on the streets in full force and increase our activities to make sure kids are safe.

Maaaaan, this. So much this. Every time there's any kind of actual in-depth survey we find that the American people are *abysmally* ignorant about even the most basic political facts, but the pundit class just immediately forgets & proceeds with political analysis based on subtle policy differences.

Chris Hayes @chrislhayes.bsky.social · 6d

Feels like so many of our convos are revolving about how voters respond to what politicians are doing, or what parties’ positions on issues are, without much actual empirical sense of what they actually know about those topics.

It's incredibly normal to feel uncomfortable being near people who are different from you. And your job as a human being is to feel a little ashamed of that, grow the fuck up, and get over it.

Has anyone actually written something on the apparently inability of the reactionary mind to grasp the basic themes and even overt text of Tolkien?

Like at some point Gandalf turns directly to camera and says “the Men of Gondor sure are insufficient to this task, we need the hobbits to do it”

this is an overtly fascist narrative - even the misreading of myth & literature is on brand

Part 44: Til the Day I Die vs Sex Is Not The Enemy

Part of the delay in this part is because I'm busy, part of it is that I have no idea how to pick between these songs. The correct answer is whichever one is currently playing!

...Til the Day I Die wins because it's the one I'd do at karaoke.

Part 44: Getting Smaller vs 10 Miles High

Getting Smaller is a banger. 10 Miles High is a grind (complimentary).

Banger wins. Getting Smaller, you're getting further.

I like how Zohran Mamdani scandals are like "He called his old cousin his aunt one time" and Andrew Cuomo scandals are like "He sexually assaulted 13 women."
