First Presidential Debate Megapost!
  • The right thing to do would be for Biden to step down. The smart thing to do would be a brokered convention. Neither will happen. This is a disaster.

  • First Presidential Debate Megapost!
  • Seriously. That and he’s just rambling… it’s awful to watch. Trump is doing his normal, terrible shtick and Biden can’t stand up to him or finish his sentences

  • Unrealistic Body Standards
  • Then I have a problem with the jaaawwwwwwww

  • Square Enix Celebrates Kingdom Hearts' Debut on Steam with Steam Deck Giveaway, Signed by Co-Creator Tetsuya Nomura
  • The first two games are classics of the PS2 era. If the idea of a Disney / Final Fantasy crossover full of ridiculous anime bullshit doesn’t appeal to you, you probably won’t have a good time.

  • The Kingdom Hearts games are now out on Steam, don't ask me to explain them
  • Boy with key sword uses it to repeatedly beat up old wizard in different bodies to save the multiverse. Goofy almost dies.

    Now that wasn’t so hard was it?

  • Summer in the City - by Leonard Koscianski
  • The angles and the dim shading in the background.

  • What's been the craziest moment of your life?
  • Probably being on stage with Green Day. That was pretty crazy. I’d thought about it for years prior to that point and when Billie Joe pointed at me and said “do you know the lyrics? You swear to god?” instinct kinda just took over. I was floating for days afterward

  • Heat in India: North India boils as temperatures near 50C
  • Yeah, the opening chapter to that was pretty jarring to read. Then American South hit Wet Bulb 95 last summer. We’re so fucked.

  • Song of the Day: Homecoming by Green Day
  • What a grandiose ending to a magnificent album. Fun fact: the “Nobody Likes You” segment is what kicked off the American Idiot sessions. Bassist Mike Dirnt was by himself in the studio waiting for his band mates to come back. The others wrote segments of their own and that inspired the medleys for Homecoming and Jesus of Suburbia. I love that they’ve started playing this live again.

  • innocence, you know what?
  • The Beach Boys Love You is an incredible work of 70’s pop that is ground breaking, forward looking, highly personal, and yes, very weird. Listen to it then watch this if you want to learn more.

    My favorite tracks are Mona, Ding Dang, Good Time, The Night Was So Young, I’ll Bet He’s Nice, and Airplane.

    Brian Wilson is a complex artist and man. He didn’t always color in the lines of good taste or appropriateness but at it’s best his music touches into the very soul of what it means to be a person in the world: all the crazy highs and lows you can go through.

  • maybe I don't want to live with the consequences
  • This’d be more of a Harold Lloyd thing

  • The Offspring, The Beastie Boys, Van Halen w/DLR, and the B52s. Are there other bands that rock, but are often silly/goofy and funny?
  • Any time drummer Tré Cool takes the stage at a Green Day show, you’re in for a treat. Dominated Love Slave is his signature, but there’s also Like a Rat Does Cheese which is unreleased and All By Myself closes Dookie.

  • What are you playing this week? May 13 2024 Edition
  • Delta emulator really helped boost my retro gaming so I’m playing through Pokémon Silver for the umpteenth time. What’s striking me on this playthrough is how good the soundtrack is.

  • Go read the book, it’s incredible!

  • The Invisible Life of Addie LaRue by V. E. Schwab - $1.99
  • I’ve got nothing but praise for this book. If you’re a fan of history or historical fiction, snap it up

  • I accidentally ate too much ____ and now I am in hospital
  • Do you like Huey Lewis and the news? Their early work was a little too new wave for my tastes, but when Sports came out in '83,I think they really came into their own, commercially and artistically. The whole album has a clear, crisp sound, and a new sheen of consimante professionalism that really gives the songs a big boost. He's been compared to Elvis Costello, but I think Huey has a far much more bitter, cynical sense of humour. In '87, Huey released this, Fore!, their most accomplished album. I think their undisputed masterpiece is "Hip to be Square", a song so catchy, most people probably don't listen to the lyrics. But they should, because it's not just about the pleasures of conformity, and the importance of trends, it's also a personal statement about the band itself. Hey Paul!
