Hey #metalsky, made a top 42 for contenders for #AOTY… pretty much anything after Blood Abscission and Dessiderium are toss ups at this point

The Speaker of the House has firm views that Bad Bunny is a terrible pick for singing at the Super Bowl, but hasn't had time to watch the President's speech to our military leadership or form an opinion whether furloughed federal workers should be paid or Illinois' governor should be thrown in jail.

Tron gives an inaccurate impression of how many guys live in your computer. It makes it seem like thousands of guys are in there. In reality only about 10 guys live in your computer and less than half of them ride motorcycles

@michaelboulerice.bsky.social’s Feeding the Wheel is like if a Stephen King was bitten by a radioactive Stephen King fan and then wrote a novella about being scared of your friend… 5 out of 7… perfect score

Just started @beardedbetts.bsky.social ‘s Trve Cvlt and I gotta say as a metal head, seeing the dedication reference the Mantle and the black metal snob calling Veil of Maya pretentious frames the narrative so well

Dessiderium - Keys to the Palace
Blood Abscission - II
…And Oceans - The Regeneration Itinerary
Infernal Flame - the Grave
Infested Angel - Threnodies to Eternal Despair

And from your rec, Finestère - Am Grauen Meer…. I’ve probably listened to it 12 times this week… it’s in the running!

ICE will attend the 2026 Super Bowl, where Puerto Rican singer Bad Bunny is set to headline the halftime show, according to Corey Lewandowski, an adviser at the Department of Homeland Security.

“We will put you in a detention facility, and we will deport you,” he said. https://wapo.st/4o3BsEV
