So some magat ran up to Ilhan Omar spraying something and right before security got to him, she actually approached him with her fist up and keys in hand. She know her shit and she's ready to stand her ground. Magat was lucky he was tackled.

There's going to be more Universes Beyond sets over in universe sets next year. I like Star Trek but I'm not sure if I don't like where this is going.

People from seasonal countries: We designed our buildings to retain heat for the winter. Me, from a tropical country: BUT WHAT ABOUT THE SUMMER, SIR? WHAT ABOUT THE HEATWAVES, MAAM?

In my mission to increase more posts about #shenzhen here on bluesky, here's my basic ass shredded pork fried noodles. I eat this at Shaxian Snacks when I just want something simple, something I could just shovel into my mouth quick at a low low price point. This was 20RMB. #China #Futian

Just dawned on me that despite moving to Shenzhen earlier this year, I never shared a picture of it here. Here's one I guess. Right at Coco Park in Futian. #shenzhen #china

Everytime I give to Kekht Arakh's Pale Swordsman a relisten I get so captured by what's essentially a romantic and pretty version of Darkthrone's Transylvanian Hunger, adjectives you wouldn't use to describe black metal 30 years ago.

Alright, here's a dessert version of this post. Going to post the not so obvious Malaysian desserts more people should try out. Left to right: Kek Lapis, Matterhorm*, White Lady*, Kuih Ketayap (More descriptions in the alt text) *No I have no idea how did they get their names.
Kek Lapis Sarawak: Literally translates to layered cake. The cakes are layered with different flavours. While this is technically a category of cakes, the cakes often have a buttery texture. It's most popular in the state of Sarawak, more specifically in it's capital Kuching.Matterhorn: A shaved iced dessert with an assortment of citrus and grass jellies locally known as cincau and cendol. It is a sweet and sour dessert. Close cousin to ABC but more on the fruity, sour side.White lady: Another close cousin to the more popular ABC, white lady is a shaved ice dessert similar to the Matterhorn but includes evaporated milk, and all sorts of fruits but less on the sour side. Common fruits include lemon, kiwis, mango, longan, sometimes pineapple and rambutan. It is more on the milky, creamy, and fruity side of things but normally sweeter than it is sour.Kuih Ketayap: Variations of this dessert can be found throughout Southeast Asia but the Malaysian version is made using a light airy pandan flavoured eggy pancake rolled and stuffed with shaved coconut flakes mixed with gula melaka.

Not sure if I can narrow down to 10 again but I feel like I'd feature more punk and Hatebreed's Perseverance needs to be up there. Looking back, I was surprised it wasn't there, I've been listening to Hatebreed since I was 14.

I have a great need, and that is to have Mark Riddick design an alternate art for Ratadrabik of Urborg in the style of his death metal and black metal-inspired Secret Lair. Hell, I'd love my Ratadrabik to have the same style + Innistrad full art basic lands. #MTG #MagicTheGathering

If you see this post something pink. Art is the cover for Lantlos' Melting Sun. Perfect blend of crushing post metal riffs and shoegazey floatiness (is that a word?).
Image is the cover to Lantlos' Melting Sun. Album cover features a person with their eyes closed but with light beaming out of their eyes and is covered by sunlight. The feeling is warm, comforting, yet contemplative at the same time. It evokes the feel of the album being a cross between post metal and shoegaze influences. It is heavy, yet comforting.

It's him! It's (one of) his favourite Mgic card(s)! #MTG #MagicTheGathering

He is wearing black and has a Bad Brains badge on his bag strap.A black and white secret lair promo of the Magic The Gathering card Syr Konrad, the Grim with art from primarily death metal aesthetics inspired artist Mark Riddick. The art features a dark fantasy knight on a horse carrying a lantern with sharp spikey armor riding through a dark forest in the night, with art reminiscent of death and black metal album covers.
