seems like a weird thing to say this way even within the context of Fortnite tbh

social media comment under a Fortnite post that says “I WILL BE BUYING THE JENNA ORTEGA SKIN DAY ONE”

Happy October.

great time at Viagra Boys last night. killer live show. they did the shrimp of the world proud. also did not realize how occult their vibes are (complimentary) but that is perhaps not surprising. Grant Morrison probably approves. Die Spitz opened, new to me and very cool too

obligatory terrible proof of life concert crowd photo, this one from last night’s Viagra Boys show in Boston

Kyle Fletcher is like a villain from the Arnold Schwarzenegger film “Commando” (complimentary)
