Pinned
My #eoty2025. First two rows are pretty set. Third row is fluid, based on last one I listened to and honestly, the last 3 rows could all be in third row on any given day if I'm in the right mood. #metalsky * Skagos would be in the top row if I added an album from the end of 2024. Titles in alt-text
I am ready for the snow.

Horrendous on Saturday, Agriculture on Sunday and my granddaughter's 4th birthday on Monday. If the snow fucks this up ..but also, I want to see her sled in her first year of knowing snow. I will walk 40+ miles to get there Monday if I have to. But not sure if I can commit to 40 miles to get back.

I was looking for a different photo and found this one. I was wearing this T-shirt when I wrecked my bike and the hospital cut it off me. I only wore it a couple of times. I miss this. #mst3k

My wife is in Miami, so I'm watching some of the shittiest movies available. Currently watching this. It's supposed to be set in 2021. Their predictions were a little off.

OUR friend Dane. lol. But Jake is right. Do it.
My pal Dane from down unda just dropped this new hotness. Grinding riffy war-like death metal. Get it.

My week. Got in a discussion with guys from @purgatorymetal.bsky.social about Blood Incantation albums, which made my wife want listen to Starspawn on the way home. Serpent Column is good even if Jimmy seems to be a head case and broke the band up again, even though it's only him. #metalsky

I went to the gym on Tuesday, went to see some friends yesterday and when I went to the gym today, and most of the machines were in new locations and spun 180 degrees to face the other direction. I felt like I was being punked.

Fiery is not what I would describe it as. Low energy, stupid, ignorant, uneducated, mean, racist, ignorant, uninformed, etc., sure. Fiery? No.

damn....this is a pretty awesome lineup. I think I know where I will be that day.

This is hitting really hard right now. Pissed off and beautiful music. One of the more unique Spectral Lore albums in my opinion but still unmistakably him. #metalsky

My cube at work is slowly turning into an homage to Agriculture. #metalsky

I can't emphasize enough how good this band is live.

I can't see this without thinking this. I guess Bessent is Bubbles? Trump is definitely Ricky.

As I watch this football game and see the stress on the faces of the fans, I guess maybe as a Penn State Alumni, they are just saving me from this stress, by never inflicting it on me. Sorry Franklin, I didn't know you were looking out for my well being, by never getting us there.

There are uses for AI. However, anyone that talks to AI for advice is a fucking lunatic. Commercials show using it as a life coach, asking AI what nickname Pete should use or motivate someone to run is very weird. Asking for analysis on a dataset doesn't make good for a good commercial, I guess.

I started a new game in Elden Ring and got the Twiggy Cracked Tear in 50 minutes. I'm not one of those crazy speed runners, but that is a pretty crazy speed run for a mere mortal. I hadn't leveled up anything. I just ran. Just sold runes and leveled up like 15 times.

A Pupil Slicer could be an eye doctor, but an Eye Eater is definitely just a weirdo. But they play great music. Reminds me of Euclidean.

I would say I am shocked, but I absolutely am not. Least surprising thing I heard. I almost expected this to be honest.

I mean, I've seen dumber movies, but not too many. It's pretty bad, in a fun way. If you think shitty movies are fun. It's one of my weaknesses. I don't know why. It makes no sense.

Donnarumma is single-handedly keeping City in this game. And as I write this, he gets beat. Amazing goal.

Ponies on Peacock is pretty good. Not sure how accurate it is, as far as Moscow 1976 spycraft, but it's enjoyable. I mean, maybe it is accurate, but I suspect it's not. But it's kinda humorous and I like it.
