I'm excited for Limp Bizkit, but I'm a little worried about Antifa...
Question
I'm sick and tired of seeing these thugs terrorize big events and am worried that they will try to interrupt Limp Bizkit's set. My gf (F19) and I (M31) are going to our first Lollapalooza and are concerned about the growing threat around the city

oh wow, that’s totally different than my experience. the demons who came out when I solved the puzzle box were basically all-in on pleasure. not so much the chains and mutilation

there’s a strong argument that it’s like a top 5 Robin Williams performance

@MayorMGF Reminded me it's the 20 year anniversary for Joe vs. Kobashi. To this day still once of the craziest atmospheres I've ever seen. The rare dream match that lived up to the weeks of hype I listened to while waiting for the DVD.

I can definitely feel "Remember when Walmart used to have Fish Tank?" instantly becoming an intrusive phrase in my brain.

This is doing numbers on social media right now and it's so depressing how people truly yearn for this shit and want to preserve that feeling indefinitely like a mausoleum of false memories.

RIP Kaleb Horton
kalebhorton.ghost.io/2025-so-far/

I also have advice. Everybody loves reading advice on the computer, so I'll share it: the best thing you can do right now is log off as hard as you can. Go outside, talk to people in real life where it's actually kind of rude to talk about the news, try to actually see the friends you usually just text message. Go for a long drive and turn the phone off while you do it. Get back into your hobbies or pick one and learn it for a while. Watch one of those studio movies that reviews called "wildly miscalculated" and you haven't seen since high school. Play an album you like but find embarrassing. Go to free community events even if they sound stupid. If you take the freeway, try the surface streets. Go to a bad diner and just order some bad coffee because even bad coffee is good coffee.
You can't help anybody when you're exhausted and keep posting one million college-educated rewordings of "I would love to be dead right now" on the computer. Walk away from the thing and try out some of those normal things you hear about and if you get bored that's wonderful because we're not supposed to get bored anymore. It turns out boredom is the Cadillac of feelings.

He was like the flip side of Huell. Someone who saw the sadness and loneliness in the little corners of rural California.

Kaleb Horton was an incredible writer with each new piece appointment reading, but I personally was so inspired by his photography. I had an album of his photos saved on my phone that I’d use as inspiration when writing myself. I needed him to put out that book.

Really sorry to hear about the sudden passing of Kaleb Horton, a fantastic writer. Only seems fitting to share what he wrote for David Lynch kalebhorton.ghost.io/death-is-jus...

Death Is Just A Change

David Lynch has gone on to whatever the next place is. I’m very sad about it; it came at a hard time for the city of Los Angeles, a place he dearly loved, and it’s hard not to think his change of cons...

more seriously, this feels like one of those stories that will be One to Remember around some unspecified event down the road. I don't know what it'll be, but it has "grim portent" written all over it.

Hideo Kojima announced a Kojima Productions credit card with MUFG Bank!

He said when he started Kojima Productions no banks wanted to give him a loan but the President of MUFG bank was a big fan of Kojima and knew he could trust him from playing all the Metal Gear Solid games!

I think if you're walking straight into body shots like this from fucking GWAR of all bands, you probably should just give up on whatever it was you were trying to do in the first place.

LOL

A representative for GWAR told The Post, "Normalizing violence? Humans don't need GWAR for that. There is nothing normal about the Looney Toon violence acted out on a GWAR stage. GWAR is absurdist spectacle. GWAR is to violence what the New York Post is to journalism. Ridiculous."
