Gotta get that ceiling television so I can watch Charlie Kirk getting shot on a loop while I fuck.

There is a picture of a cat and above the cat's face it says "Every time you repost this image" and below the cats face it says "A trans girl gets hormone treatment and a transphobe dies"

"President Trump is a lot of things (all great), but he isn't a pedophile. Unless it turns out that he's also that, in which case, it would be fine. Ephebophilia is when you want to have sex with your daughter's friends, which is normal. He's also a hebephile, which means that he supports Israel."

Teaching conservative youth to make their teeth stronger not by way of queer-codedly 'brushing' (penis) them with 'toothpaste' (semen) but instead by biting into cement as hard as they can.

Imagine thinking Tai Shan is the worst Rush song when it’s preferable to 90% of the tracks on every subsequent record they’d make (100% of everything after Vapor Trails).

"An overwhelming amount of President Trump's critics on the matter of his pederasty, which we must remember was a foundational custom of ancient Greece (and, by proxy of this, philosophy itself), also oppose Israel. Ergo, it's not a stretch to conclude that it's antisemitic not to molest children."

Looking forward to Bret Stephens' post-Epstein Files op-ed 'I Like That The President Puts His Penis In Children'.

Makes things lonelier, maybe? It's not what it was. Fascism has stolen all the good.

The Orchid Show @theorchidshow.myatproto.social · 1d

Really lonely lately. A minor complaint in the grand scheme of things, but it's not like anything else is going well, either.

Your favourite tactical shooter is Counter-Strike. Mine is Tyler Robinson. We aren't the same.

Luckily, everybody still involved also has necks filled with delicious, wet blood just aching to be free.

We need a band that sounds like Don Juan Triumphant (aside from all the RIO stuff on Recommended that already kind of does).

Good morning, #CDFriday! Checking in with the heavily expanded 2010 Southern Lord edition of San Clemente, CA experimental punk band Virulence’s sole album If This Isn't A Dream... (Alchemy, 1989). Most of these guys went on to play in Fu Manchu, but for my money, this was the real shit.

Jewel case packaging for Virulence's 'If This Isn't A Dream...' compact disc (Alchemy, 1989 - r. Southern Lord, 2010).

Got an ad on my phone last night for a guy I went to university with who used to be an Elvis impersonator and is now marketing himself as 'the singing realtor'. Nice enough fellow. Tried to convince me to moonlight as an Elvis Costello impersonator?

Visual 🧵 to simplify blacksky, myatpro, etc. migration.

Step 1: If you have two-factor authorization enabled, you must briefly disable it. In the left-hand menu, go to 'settings', then 'privacy and security.' Your 2FA may look different. Click 'change', 'disable', etc. and follow the instructions.

Also, she’s *incredible*. The level of interdependence? Holy crap.

Anybody that's skeptical about the new Rush drummer filling Neil Peart's shoes: I've watched some videos and am pleased to report that she also has absolutely no feel or groove so they're going to sound the same as before!

(I am a huge fan of certain periods of Rush's career - Neil had zero swing.)
