just got my tax bill and honestly I don’t know why I even bother hustling every minute of my life trying to make money to survive and thrive when ultimately I just have to give it all away to a fascist government anyway

The best thing about Verhoeven’s STARSHIP TROOPERS is that he didn’t read the book, he couldn’t make it past the first couple of chapters

been seeing a lot of people question whether trans rights are "popular enough" to be worth defending. if you gotta hold a focus group about it, i'm not interested in you. as a candidate, as a politician, as a person. anyone who won't stand up for trans rights is not worth listening to. eat shit.

loudly co-signing this sentiment!!
When I was freelancing or staffed at a music publication, there were so many artists that I’d wanted to write about but couldn’t due to time, shifting editorial strategies, or worries from higher-ups that a piece about an under-the-radar act wouldn’t get enough clicks. I was also sick of the discourse, writing about something just because people are talking about it online, and wanted to have a place where I could just write about whatever I was interested in. Launching No Expectations, I gave myself the freedom to do just that.

Every time a major media organization does something evil there's always a bunch of media guys talking about how unfair it is to expect anyone to quit in protest. How they have families etc. Yes that is why quitting in protest is admirable. Because it is hard not because it is easy.

Another yapfest for New Bloom Festival this week with Ned from Glitterer & Title Fight. Dialling in from Peru, Ned talks about intentionality, how touring has shaped his entire adult life, the seductive trap of solipsism, and cultivating a hardcore mindset 💆🏼‍♂️🔥 #music #musicsky #musicfeed #newmusic

Elon Musk, seeing an assassin rushing towards him like Jack Ruby, would chuck whichever kid he's using for a photo op at the killer so fast your head would spin. He would throw Techno Mechanicus or whatever kid hes pretending to parent like it was Chucky the killer doll. He'd make a weird noise too.

This week, I had an incredibly raw chat with Jack from VOV. We discussed his journey of self-discovery, VOV taking The Big Sleep, mortality, thematic resonance, legacy, last year’s phenomenal ‘What I’ll Leave Behind’ LP, and Jack's enduring love for heavy music. #metalcore #alternative #musicsky

we started our pod years ago audio-only (as the gods intended) but then had to move to youtube, which implied the use of video for that medium. that said, video pods are for laptops/TV viewing and audio-only pods are for the phone, for the gym, walking the dog, folding laundry, touching grass etc.

Yapped with all-round good bloke Sammy from DRAIN ahead of their Down Under run for New Bloom Festival. We talk sonic progression across records, the low-end rumblings of their work-in-progress third LP, and why pool noodles in the pit are both a blessing and a (California) curse 😎🏄‍♂️

I have found the Lagrange point of illness: I am just sick enough that I can’t get any work done, but healthy enough that I feel like I should be able to write (it’s just tapping on a keyboard after all), leading to a beautiful stasis where I neither get anything done nor rest and recover

The cover artwork for the album 'Panopticon' by the post-metal band ISIS. The artwork shows an aerial photograph of South San Francisco & San Bruno, looking South-Southwest. The San Andreas Lake is visible in the top right. The photograph has a distinctive blue sheen.A popular meme comic titled 'Know the Work Rules', comprised of two panels, one labelled 'Appropriate' and the other labelled 'Inappropriate.'

In the upper 'appropriate' panel, a stereotypically attractive man is disturbing a woman at her work cubicle. On his chest is the flag of the terrorist group ISIS (Islamic State of Iraq and Syria). The man is saying, "I want ISIS to regroup." The woman replies, "Awww, you're sweet."

In the lower 'inappropriate' panel, a stereotypically nerdy man is disturbing the same woman. He is saying the same thing as the other man – "I want ISIS to regroup" — but instead has the logo of the disbanded post-metal band ISIS on his chest. She is panicked, holding her phone, shouting, "HELLO, MI5?"

hell yeah, nothing like good 'ol fashioned sonic whiplash. if I ran both albums back to back, I'd essentially be throwing my 20-something self back in time to my dumb-ass teenage self doing homework while (badly) miming shady lyrics. both equally horrifying and worthy.
