“I told you once that I was searching for the nature of evil. I think I've come close to defining it: a lack of empathy. It's the one characteristic that connects all the defendants. A genuine incapacity to feel with their fellow man. Evil, I think, is the absence of empathy.”

happy sunday, remember that you are completely expendable to your employer and that when you die they will forget you ever existed within weeks and easily replace you

Work really hard and one day this can be you (followed by graffiti of a headstone that says “RIP worked really hard” on it

Anberlin’s new singer Matty Mullins is pretty legit. He’s in a jock rock metal band called Memphis May Fire but sounds better fronting a pop punk band. Weird crossover that actually works, kinda like how weird Something Corporate was when they first launched.

The next podcast after that is titled “Does Anberlin finally have legitimacy with Matty Mullins?” Lol

You’re not alone is the most buttrock song ever! I can’t believe Phil Sgrosso can play that song with a straight face. Anthony will always be the heart and soul of that band and it’s so nice that he and Cove are tight. I could write an entire dissertation on the trajectory of Saosin lol

This is so sick! Literally right up my alley. I rode the tailcoat of Blink182 into the early 2000's pop punk scene and quickly found that I enjoyed programming moving lights more than rockstar life. This was my band

Take to the skies lives in permanent rotation in my car cd player where it’s lived since 2010!!! Such an underrated band! 2006-2007 was such an amazing time to be into music.

I’m in a similar position; had the opportunity to work with them in 2010 on the west coast leg of their betrayed tour. Incredible group of extremely talented musicians! They literally introduced me to one of my favorite bands ever Enter Shikari. They were so psyched to be on tour in the US.

Something I’ve learned from working around wealthy people…. Nobody reads your resume off at your funeral; love your life.

I’ve come to learn in my old age that mother fucker is a term of endearment regardless of how it’s used. Even in anger it’s still funny. 🤙🏼

Rick Kane @paintingsurfer.bsky.social · 9h

I loved that band. Like I was obsessed with that album. The rest of the guys in the band got fucked on that deal so bad. They were destined for greatness till Watkins shit the bed.
