Hello! Are you into metal? Are you in the mood for something deeply unpleasant, but amazing, not in spite of being deeply unpleasant, but BECAUSE it's deeply unpleasant?

Dude. Dudette. Dudex. I got you covered!

I saw a bunch of cool metal shirts last night, including songs for bands that don't actually exist. For instance, "lactose intolerance" in the manner of a band logo.

This band logo, however, is real.

The main event! Delicious delicious cheese!

Ensiferum are done very high quality cheese, and I think I need to listen to them more!

Seven Kingdoms is great and you should all check them out!

(Yes, the singer is decked out in sequins, and has cheeseburger slippers. She also has PIPES.)

I'm having a quick bite before I go see some live music. I haven't eaten here in over ten years, but they're as good as I remember, and I'm sad they're not absolutely packed.

Wandering downtown Berkeley before the Blind Guardian show, and while the sheer number of closed stores is a little saddening, this is probably the one that hit me the most.

An ad I just saw for this movie brags about Santa killing nazis. I can just hear it now: "this is wokeness gone mad, why does a Christmas movie have to be all political and shit, blah blah blah blah blah..."

As often happens at this time of night, I'm in YouTube freefall. And I've just seen the most insightful, compassionate, and just plain magnificent portrayal of Death, not as the end, but as a psychopomp.

And I know who created it.

FUCK YOU, NEIL.

It's a Tuesday.

Dammit.

I might have to burn some vacation time for it.

So, the new Archspire video, in part because it was scripted by eleven-year-olds, includes a joke about the vocalist sucking a bouncer off to get his gig. And who vomits right after doing so.

Tragic. Or hilarious.

No, neither one. Juvenile as hell, more like.

Soon, I will be saying "TENÍA un pajarito verde que VIVÍA en mi celular..." because the quality of duolingo has declined in a lot of ways, and I'm not going to continue paying for it. Also, I'm sure using it for free will be annoying to the point of unusable.
Gracias. Tengo un pajarito verde que vive en mi celular y lleva tres años enseñándome español... y a veces, él me amenaza.

España ha boicoteado Eurovisión.

Irlanda ha boicoteado Eurovisión.

Los Países Bajos han boicoteado Eurovisión.

Eslovenia ha boicoteado Eurovisión.

Todo el mundo debería boicotear Eurovisión.

...no sucederá, pero quiero que suceda.

This is the first time I've seen this sentiment voiced in Spanish, and I think it actually GAINS in translation!

("To technofeudalists: if payment isn't ownership, then piracy isn't theft.")

If native hispanohablantes disagree with me, believe them. I've only been speaking it three years.
A los señores tecnofeudales: Si pagar no es poseer, entonces, piratear no es robar 😘

I watched this movie a few years ago because a years-old video by @hbomberguy.bsky.social strongly hinted that I should.

If you go in expecting Cosmic Horror™️, you're asking for disappointment... but it's still really good.

So, I'm watching an American YouTuber talk shit about British food, and given the unspeakable horrors he's showing, he might be cherrypicking, but he's not wrong.

But, to quote Stephen Fry back in the day, "this from a country that has spray-on cheese."

And now, reddit is showing me impossibly beautiful women who are sexy, classy... and absolutely not real.

Dear r/AIWhispersOfCharms: fuck off. Also...

Dear r/cartoonhunks: fuck off.
Dear reddit,

Yes, I like art.

Yes, I like well-built men, and in fact I'm working to become one (when I have time).

No, I don't want to see a hundred "drawings" of men who all look like a cross between Henry Cavill, Rafael Alencar, and Norman Bates. Stop showing me this AI slop.

Years and years ago, Chris Rock had a routine about white people saying "he speaks so well, he's so well spoken, he speaks so well!" of certain black people in the news.

I don't want to be one of THOSE white people. So, I tried to be careful here. I hope I was careful enough.
Dear YouTube,

I'm just watching a video by the ever erudite, insightful, and audiogenic @fdsignifier.bsky.social. I think it's great that you are worried I'm standing at the edge and I'm about to jump, and you're offering me "help" so that I don't... but calm your tits.
