got clocked as a Record Store Guy by the Beer Store Guy and immediately had to tap into knowledge that’s lain dormant for years

the wrestling nerd in me is furious that he thinks his head is going to be "driven into the concrete" when CLEARLY the stunner is more about the jaw impacting your shoulder

took the dog on a little walk to home depot and she started begging at the display fridges as if they, too, would have turkey inside them just waiting for her

i'm honestly flabbergasted by someone bringing Kaepernick as an example in 2026. first off, Brian Flores is right there with an active racial discrimination lawsuit against the NFL and second, Kaep hasn't thrown a pass since before Trump's first inauguration! that bus left the station years ago!!

Ian, my heart breaks for you & the rest of the crew. This month has been fucking awful already with Andy, now having to deal with another horrible loss on top of that. Us fans grieve the characters we knew on screen, but I know you all grieve the real men you knew. All my love to all of you.

Someone was talking about PAC being stoic at meet & greets on Twitter, so it reminded me of this anecdote.

Small child in red flannel and blue jeans standing next to PAC with long hair, wearing black AEW hoodie and shorts. Both are wearing facemasks.

Nolie met PAC at a Dynamite, when AEW was still doing preshow meet and greets.

They both looked each other up and down. Then PAC stoically says “How is your day, little child?”.

When it was picture time, he plainly said “Stand with me in battle” to Nolie.

It was perfect.

I just spent 3 hours hearing people memorialize one of the nicest dudes in hardcore and wrestling to hear another one of the genuinely good dudes left us way too fucking early. This fucking sucks

i do not need this news in the middle of watching Andy Williams' memorial service, this is fucking terrible

Dan Warnken @danziginthedark.bsky.social · 28/09/2026

We played in different scenes so I only met him in passing a couple of times but I had a ton of mutuals with him and I always heard the same thing - the nicest dude in the biz. It's amazing to spend your life in the hardcore scene & not have anyone say a bad word about you but Andy fuckin did it

Dan Warnken @danziginthedark.bsky.social · 28/09/2026

Andy Williams kicked ass and the fact that his celebration of life has people chanting his name over and over should be proof. One of the giants of two scenes I've considered myself a big part of over the past two decades, and a guy I've never heard a cross word against. #AndyWilliamsForever

there was a real quick throwaway scene in one of the early episodes that mentions he was adopted by ron perlman and lived in a dog cage for sins(??) it was messy and kind of dumb but bardem doing his thing made it worth my time

Dan Warnken @danziginthedark.bsky.social · 27/09/2026

wife & i watched the whole series because it's nice to hav even a mid show to keep up with and the best parts of it were a)everything javier bardem did and b)amy adams' & patrick wilson's ridiculous southern accents

i think today’s music environment wholly invalidates that article - it’s easier than ever to have your entire music listening experience be personalized to what -you- want to hear, where 20+ years ago you could only hear music on the radio/MTV or through whatever physical media you personally owned

best way to survive this is to be bald, nothing to pull up and then out that way

i feel like there’s almost a horseshoe theory for music where when you get deep enough in it you don’t hear the most popular stuff unless you actively seek it out. i worked in record stores for years and didn’t hear a single note of a taylor swift song until it was in a diet coke commercial

nor’easter gonna show up two months from now looking like its old self well past the point of it actually mattering

Dan Warnken @danziginthedark.bsky.social · 25/09/2026

i think I’m on an island with this take but I don’t really count stuff like Chernobyl as a “TV show”, it’s a mini-series. Not saying it wasn’t great but it didn’t have the pressure of continuing a story over multiple seasons and remaining at a high level

Dan Warnken @danziginthedark.bsky.social · 25/09/2026

why does “cheba” sound like an antiquated slur

knowing some of the folks I assume you’re gonna see it’s no weirder than what ~half of them are doing themselves

I have a few Devils fan friends and it tends to be more of a united disdain for the rangers

…do they understand the concept of insurance

if you believe anti-trans folks are just gonna clap their hands and say “we’ll gang, we did it, time to move on” by banning trans women from sports you haven’t been paying attention to much of anything in the last decade

0200

Dan Warnken @danziginthedark.bsky.social · 21/09/2026

denying people participation in any part of society based on how they identify is textbook discrimination. if you support no trans women in sports you just open the door to more of their rights being denied based on how they identify.

Dan Warnken @danziginthedark.bsky.social · 21/09/2026

you realize that making any sort of exception or concession on equal rights kind of negates the whole concept of “equal”

i generally feel that if Hasan Piker had a more Anglicized name, something like, off the top of my head, "Adin Ross", we wouldn’t have large swathes of the political elite calling for his condemnation

i think the funniest thing about Pete Alonso’s return tonight is that it’s also a promotional night for a fantasy novel so Mr. Met is in the shot right behind Pete wearing the most fucked up outfit i've ever seen #Mets

Dan Warnken @danziginthedark.bsky.social · 13/09/2026

even as a Mets fan i struggle to find the argument against this

tell me something better than a friend mentioning a band you both loved 20 years ago that -YOU- forgot about and getting a chance to revisit a record you love
