After 15+ years of being unable to find this one specific #Magic card I lost; I tried again today, first by describing the art, then by trying to remember the name and color, finally on my 5th spelling variation searching these sites, I found it. Behold the Lhurgoyf.

Which genre best fits the label 'Pearl Clutching Music'? My opinion is it's either Death Metal, Punk, or Thrash. Slayer wrote intention of scaring people. Corpsegrinder has similarly said 'All our songs are short stories that could be a horror movie' (Paraphrased), and Punk is Punk. #Metalsky

If Fetterman enables the CR to pass, then he may as well just hand in his hoodie and shorts for a red hat and some raw milk. Actively stabbing Pennsylvanians in the back in exchange for letting this face of a government redirect funds at their discretion.

Regardless of your feelings about Phil, or #Pantera as a whole, I contend that the remaster of 'Reinventing the Steel' by Terry Date is the masterclass on remasters. Everything about the album is improved. Every nuance buried in the mix has been brought forward to shine. 11/10. #Metalsky

Today is the day to drop #Chromium if you care about ads. On launch Chrome 'turned off' uBlock Origin. I had to manage extensions and say I wanted to keep it and then separately say I wanted to turn it back on (It began working just fine). Never a better day to download Firefox.

It's been a few years since I've read that particular parable. But, as I recall, the Samaritan stopped to help the Jew who had been beaten, robbed, and overlooked by the community that should have helped him. Not because the Jew guaranteed he would lead a good life, but because he needed help.

It will never not be a travesty when game publishers take on numerous staff to "meet deadlines" and then promptly shed them post-launch. What a crushing experience it must be for a person whose dream of being a game dev was realized, only for the illusion to come crashing down on their heads.

Isn't there another event, or ideally a scale, everyone can refer to in comparisons of energy releases, besides Hiroshima? Reading an article about Mt. St. Helens eruption, "24 megatons of thermal energy, 1,600 times the size of the atomic bomb dropped on Hiroshima." Does not help frame it.

On the bench this weekend was a Tone 6 string bass. A natural finish means no polish on the body so I polished the brass nut instead #GuitarTech #Guitars #Metalsky

I listened to the new BI a lot over the past few days trying to get thoughts on it, but I kept tuning out. I feel crazy with how many people have lauded it. I may just not be a Blood Incantation fan. Maybe they're like a Death Metal Dream Theater. You either like the album or you don't. #metalsky

What was your first intro to Black Metal? Dimmu Borgir's Puritanical Euphoric Misanthropia was the record that sent me reeling, courtesy of my older brother (as all corrupting media should be). I played that CD so much it became the soundtrack to my core memory reel from 2001 and 2002. #MetalSky

Korn's debut in 1994 made me realize how much I loved heavy music. I was sitting on the car door of my parents' Volkswagen Jetta in the Outer Banks of NC, with my brother opposite me, listening to it on a bootleg cassette making the car shake.
