Just moved over from the other place and settling in. No idea which box I packed the spoons in.

Open up this picture fully.
Then look at the surface of Mars.
Then look up to the top right.
Spot Mars' moon Phobos high in the sky.
Then notice the bright spot beside Phobos.
That's Earth.

It's that time of year again and my top artists are:
1. High on Fire
2. @shura.gg
3. @deathvalleygirls.bsky.social
4. @thisisdeepseadiver.bsky.social
5. @cmatbaby.bsky.social
I've had the privilege of seeing 3 of them live this year. Very different gigs, but all were amazing.

Oil is the most Lovecraftian thing that actually exists.
You're telling me that there's a black ichor under the earth made from the ancient dead, whose burning can realize all the dreams of man, but only at the price of slowly returning the earth to its primordial state?

As I left the beach earlier, there was someone in the shallows, swimming in the moonlight. It must’ve been ice cold but I can understand the lure of the shining path out to sea.

Dad’s books are full of empathy, common sense, and a healthy suspicion of the powerful. But at its heart his work is also about how systems keep people poor while pretending it’s their own fault. So I hope Kemi’s taking notes as well as reading the jokes.

I increasingly feel certain that the thing that has driven politics insane is the growing ability of people to find ways to validate their beliefs, no matter how incorrect and irrational. It started in right-wing media but has become central to all political discussion.

Just got back from @thisisdeepseadiver.bsky.social and hot damn, that was amazing! The band are fantastic, top to bottom, but those drums and the energy! Those beautiful guitar tones and little squalls of noise! Absolutely delicious, and my ears ate it up. Everyone - go see them.

there’s no way to summarise 6 years of my life and making this record in a single post but an attempt will be made! i’m so happy that this album gets to exist in your ears as it has done in mine for quite some time.
