seems like a weird thing to say this way even within the context of Fortnite tbh

Happy October.

you did it joe

great time at Viagra Boys last night. killer live show. they did the shrimp of the world proud. also did not realize how occult their vibes are (complimentary) but that is perhaps not surprising. Grant Morrison probably approves. Die Spitz opened, new to me and very cool too

obligatory terrible proof of life concert crowd photo, this one from last night’s Viagra Boys show in Boston

Kyle Fletcher is like a villain from the Arnold Schwarzenegger film “Commando” (complimentary)

Pool Hall James @poolhalljames.bsky.social · 19d

All Out is another ripper of a wrestling show, baby. Riho vs Mercedes and then Mascarda Dorada vs Takeshita vs Okada? this must be what it feels like to care about college football on Saturdays
