(I have thoughts about music, sometimes.)
I think the kardashian framing for this is pretty dated. granted it’s an excerpt from a book, but I don’t think much is gained from an argument “against“ the ideal that she perpetuated, especially considering the moment we are in now, and the ethnic implications which I wish the writer went into

I like how the player character in the new Rhythm Heaven looks like Mr Miserable from the 1974 Mr Men cartoon

one of many reasons why I miss being in the eu.
Next year, the EU will require cars to have buttons & dials -- not just touchscreens -- to get a top safety rating.

This is a great move. Drivers can fiddle with knobs & buttons without taking their eyes off the road, but they can't do that with touchscreens.

(Even better: Tesla will hate this)
Cars will need fewer screens and more buttons to earn five-star safety rating in Europe
Euro NCAP will release new testing guidelines in 2026.

it's kind of incredible i haven't seen any loustat edits to jacob's music because half of his music is about very unhealthy relationships (and two of those involve murder lmao)

obligatory Teenage Wrist mention, but also Soda Blonde - their sound is less stomp-clappy than when they were Little Green Cars
Quote this post (skeet?) with your favorite underrated band you think everyone in the world would love.
