Nobel Peace Prize went to obama, the bomber, and kissinger, the butcher. That’s all you need to know about the credibility of this western award. María Corina Machado is a staunch zionist who begged netanyahu to intervene in Venezuela, and promises to hand over the country's oil to US corporations.

The Dems did win the majority in 2020, and didn't do diddly squat, they even welcomed Trump back with open arms.

I would take it. Boss breathing down your neck in the office, desks deliberately positioned so they can creep up behind you = hell.

I want to give up writing but I have some sunk cost projects I need to see to fruition/publication before I do that.

You know who needs your devotion and support? Local bands. Find the interesting metal bands in your area. Meet some cool musicians. Make some cool friends. Give them your money IRL. Smaller musicians who don’t play stadiums and arenas or win Grammy’s. Vessel will be just fine without me, promise.

That picture makes me puke.

America rejected royals...so they could have their own royals.

This message is to me as much as it is to anyone else. I can't get excited about or even finish my own writing, despondent as I am about the worthlessness and powerlessness of it all...

I have a short story that's been rejected 18 times (to me kind of a cross between Euphoria, Project Itoh's Genocidal Organ, Point Break, and You Were Never Really Here). But I love it, it's one of my faves, and I'll keep submitting it. Here's some feedback about it:

"This was a wild and surreal one for sure. A near future, semi-dystopian gang/cartel war zone world where malls and abandoned swimming pools still mark the passage of time for the young. The acid-washed, casual, dayglow violence of the piece is striking and impactful. You want the reader to be in the thick of it, to smell the stink of sweat and viscera, to feel the horror of it and witness the dissociative nature of those who deal in and experience it. Your narrator wants to see and be seen in a world where endings are common and connection is fleeting. It was powerful stuff."

Labels need to understand that every album is already on the internet somewhere, and act accordingly. I have zero interest in "leaking" your album online, where it has already been "leaked" as soon as it was ready. You want me to promote your music? Give proper access to it then.

Never mind that if you are abroad forget about it.

"Oh yes, our software is BLOCKED in certain countries..."

So no access then huh.

No, I am not me. I don't want to be me.

Now what?

Much of modern life is spent answering the question: "are you you?" and TBH I don't know anymore.

Hey your phone is calling you to input a code on an app which your computer needs to open up your email and you need to type in the code, you have 12 seconds to do it, while a class room full of students is looking at you waiting for class to begin.

Dual factor authentification is an insanely stupid system: IT people please figure out something less ridiculous than juggling two devices sending each other codes which I have to input on the fly.

Liberals thought they had "won the culture wars" and sat back on their laurels, while the right actually learned how to use culture and technology as a weapon.

Also Haulix is an insanely slow platform so me streaming full albums there is just not going to happen.

How do they square "tariffs" with "free markets" I'd love to know.

Doopiidoo, one of the few artists doing anything interesting with AI, leaning into its monstrosity and inhumanity.

Very stupid for once-respected metal label Code666 to sign an AI band, with a video that looks like a ripoff of Doopiidoo.

TR is showing poor judgment lately: inviting Danny Elfman to Future Ruins and now working with Jared Leto. Disappointed.
