The amount of bangers on this album is crazy! I'm not a huge fan of her newest album, but that's okay because this album exists lol. Also, Primadonna was the bouquet toss song at our wedding!

White friends, feeling other people’s suffering is going to hurt. It should. Those people are worth it. They are worth the relative inconvenience of reading, of watching, of knowing, of feeling, of responding... johnpavlovitz.substack.com/p/the-white-...

The White Privilege of Avoiding Bad News
Yesterday, an old friend of mine and I were catching up on each other's lives after not having spoken for a while.

It was so freeing when I stopped caring about sports…to not have my emotions or moods impacted at all by how any team performs. I stopped watching the day after Trump was elected the first time. The scenario we’re in now is so much worse and people still can’t stop letting sports be a distraction

Yes there is! It's when you call your boss but you're so nervous that when he picks up you accidentally say "Hey it's [boss' name]" instead of your own name 😱 I'm really just thankful I didn't call him dad

It seems like they’ve been doing this daily over the past few weeks. It’s really embarrassing and pathetic.

I grew up going to mass every week. I truly loathed going. And yet there are these things Jesus said that have stuck with me. Like as a poor angry teen, this dude who flipped over tables, condemned the rich, and fought against oppressive authority really spoke to me. Jesus is who radicalized me lol

Most of them are simultaneously victims. While that doesn’t excuse bad actions, most of these people can’t help the combination of having authoritarian predispositions, being religiously indoctrinated, and denied any meaningful education to counter the first two things.

Haworthia maybe? They like it dry. Most are on the smaller side but I have a dinner plate sized one on my desk. I’ve seen some aloe get pretty big if you need something larger. They’re desert plants so they’ll have a good chance. Some cacti too maybe?

Lift cracked me up Edgedancer but Dawnshard is definitely better. Rysn is a great character. It's hard reading other fictions works because of how well Sanderson develops even his side characters. He makes the characters in other author's works feel unfinished and dull.

Calling all harsh vocals "screamo" is super cringe to me! For me it was like that concept of gateway drugs. Started with all cleans. Then hearing stuff with grit and maybe a scream here and there. My gateway bands were SOAD, A7X, Rise Against, etc. (this was clearly 2005 LOL). And then I was ready!

The animal argument is one of industry’s favorite defenses, as they know we can’t test on humans and thus get to keep putting toxins in products. That exposure argument of dose does not apply for the development of cancerous or precancerous cells. Even a small dose can cause the first mutation.

Adam Karapandzich @karapanda.bsky.social · 07/12/2025
That’s not the point of the warning. Most cancer is caused by cumulative and consistent exposure. The standard toxicology model of “the dose makes the poison” does not apply here. The warnings are to advise you to limit exposure to materials and chemicals known to cause cancer.

In California’s defense, it’s because un- and under-regulated industries will put toxic shit in any products they can to cut costs

They have everyone in the band contribute songs now so you get some very different sounding influences depending who composed it. Their live performances are crazy now too. They have a bunch of videos up from the “Symphonic Synergy” show that are just epic

Adam Karapandzich @karapanda.bsky.social · 30/11/2025
For some reason at the time when this came out I didn’t like this song. It definitely grew on me over the years though! If you haven’t checked out their newer stuff you totally should. I don’t listen to much either now but Epica keeps getting better and more interesting.

I feel so insane every time I see someone listening or dancing to him and loving it unabashedly. It’s like everyone’s pretending not to have a problem with it so they keep something they like.
