True fact. Venting your anger teaches you that being angry is fun.

Want to be less angry? Go zen.
Venting Doesn't Reduce Anger, But Something Else Does, Study Discovers
Venting when angry seems sensible.

Don't forget to mount a camel and help drive out the local Nazis.

The Edmund Fitzgwrald sinking on the same day Dr Manhattan's circulatory system appeared in the kitchen cannot possibly be a coincidence

Any bilingual folks out there with lyrical sensibilities who understand Puerto Rican politics want to work with me on translating The Dead Kennedy's California, Über Alles to Spanish and adapting it to the MAGA/JGO regimes?

If so, in-box me.

If you see this, post an album cover with a motor vehicle on it.

The ROI for investing in Perennial is measured in happiness. At least for those who like to rock the fuck out.

Seriously, if they ever play in your neck of the woods, go see them and dance your ass off to the most bizarrely energetic new wave art punk act you're likely to see this side of the veil.

For the first time in I don’t know how long, I turned on the news expecting to hear good things.

I was not disappointed.

I hate linking to FB but that's the only place I see this news.

Adam Edwards, formerly of Shrug and Flyaway Minion, has died. This is a tribute by Tod of Shrug and I think quite fitting.

As every tribute does, it underdefines who Adam was. I knew him as a friend.

Finally watched the new Superman movie. It's my second favorite, after 1980's Superman II.

And, no Clark, that isn't the real punk rock. But I can see why a high school sports champion with super powers raised in a well off and healthy nuclear family might think so.

Also - best Lex since Hackman.
