The best "Slash: Guitar God" moment was a 6-min solo where he touched god and transitioned into a little number you might've heard.

Cell phone audio, plus further social media compression, and Bluesky limits mean this will have to be two posts. But still, like come the fuck on, who does this.

If you're firing pepper balls at a guy in a giant frog costume do you even have the kind of self-awareness and capacity for introspection required to wonder what went wrong with your life?

If your takeaway here is Lee like more horror-adjacent stuff than straight horror, that's probably fair.

A federal grand jury has refused to indict a Chicago couple arrested during a violent protest outside the U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement facility in Broadview last month, a rare move that prompted prosecutors to abruptly drop the case.

Today, Senator Kaine and I will force the Senate to vote on the administration’s decision to blow up ships in the Caribbean.

If a president can unilaterally put people or groups on a list and kill them, there is no meaningful limit to his use of force.

the problem with "things were always this bad" is that it is rhetoric that exists, specifically and exclusively, to deny the lived reality that Republicans Fucking Make Shit Worse, and it usually comes from a place of "both parties serve the same masters!!" performative, weaponised cynicism
