I can personally attest that it’s AI, if you need the input of a subject-matter expert. And as soon as they were called out, they turned comments off for their entire profile. Extremely bad faith shit.

Block jennbudd. Using a fake AI video to stoke aggression along racial and gender lines is not just lying and cruel but tantamount to violence. There is enough fucked up things happening for real that we do not need to fake it.

I mean I’m thankful you don’t. But I am also sad for anyone that does.

And if you’re reading this and don’t know why a Lostprophets tattoo hits a certain way now, uh, trigger warnings if you choose to pursue the knowledge.

Also now recalling the PDX show where a woman full-throated yelled “Vessel, you make the world a better place.” It hit me odd then and it hits me odd now.

Anyway, “kill your idols” is forever the best advice you can ever get.

Yeah, it was apparently management and the label RCA. If the band was against it I’m sure they could have spoken up. But I mean, it’s kinda all in the lyrics. This band doesn’t know how to fame. It makes them feel icky. And that’s one way these things happen.

I mean, I fundamentally agree, and when this came up this week at Sleep Token (oddly enough) because of all the tattoos, we literally used Lostprophets as a reason why you should not (so sorry).

But also I fundamentally believe in not yucking other people’s yums. I just really advise against it.

Apparently going after cosplayers too, which is like, a huge chunk of every crowd in every arena. Not a good look.

Hearing that Sleep Token’s management is going after tattoo shops for doing Sleep Token tattoos and if that isn’t the corniest most insecure shit. Not a good look for them and the band. Act like you’ve been here before.

This is a very long thread of transparent virtue signaling for someone claiming doing so is an act of filling an absence of character. Seems weird, bro.

I keep trying to find the map boundaries, but the sandbox is too big. It’s just a lot of backtracking across sparse landscapes 2/10

As the last of my friends who swore they would never get married or have kids or whatever we use as markers of adulthood, I have 100 band tees, a bunch of air miles and lower back pain.

I’d have it no other way. Live music is living, for me.

I live in travel-sized installments of everything.

There isn’t a point to this thread. This is neither complaint nor self congratulation. Just reflection.
