Guys, guess what happened when the bros from Good Charlotte bought Alternative Press (and other outlets [then closed them down])?

While employed at Fat Wreck I got to work on / around a couple Sick Of It All releases. Absolute gents. I'm not a "hardcore kid" by any definition, but as far as I'm concerned, SOIA was the first and the best. Lou Koller was an all-timer and he's on the Mount Rushmore of punks. Legend.

I just told Ty from Broadway Calls that I listened to some of the Joe Rogan podcast with JD Vance and he was audibly disappointed with me, haha.

I disagree with virtually everything Lindsey Graham stood for, BUT let's remember him for the ~2 weeks in January 2021 where he was like, "Yeah, I didn't like the MAGA lynch mob coming to kill me or how they smeared their own feces in the Capitol..." He was a bold patriot for those couple weeks. 🫡

Check my bracket, I have England winning the tournament. They've stood by Ukraine more than any nation, and deserve the good karma. But that was not the same team that beat Mexico, as they relied on VAR and flopping to win. 👎 So it goes. Now if these guys don't beat Argentina I WILL BE SO ANNOYED.

There are no rules in soccer and I guess it makes it more entertaining. Been a certified ref since 93, and offsides is more confusing than ever. GER (and Iran, et al) had goals taken away and I guess that's more fun/dramatic? VAR allows them to put a thumb on the scale, and everyone loves WWE, so...

I wore this during the last WC in 1994. If you see me outside the stadium tomorrow in NJ, I need a ticket. Sup?

High fives to @chicago.suntimes.com for shining a light on Chicago legends, Sludgeworth. Always fun to see a punk band in the pages of a big fancy newspaper... 👇 chicago.suntimes.com/music/2026/0...

Hey @alexilalas.bsky.social ! I'm on the bus to SoFi and need help with a ticket. I saw you score in the Kingdome in like 1993, so I'm worthy. I know @raecomm.bsky.social would help!

Some big personal news: my official statement on the English National Team. 👇

Toby (von Red Scare) @redscaretoby.bsky.social · 02/06/2026

I lifted my hex on England for a couple reasons: they have been truly courageous in helping the fight against Pootin's orcs and feel that they have karma on their side. Also, they're coached by a Kraut and a WC win will drive their own fans bonkers.

Piss on May the 4th. On this day, 45 years ago, they began filming The Road Warrior. Finest motion picture of all-time.

GOOD SHOWS. The old lady has August off. 🤔 I hear jet fuel is cheap right now. New song up and pre-order for the LP/CD if you're into material possessions...

Dang, it took a perfect storm to unseat the People's Champ, Jamie Ding. That was like a Black Arrow vs. Dragon Smaug scenario. And Jeopardy had to resort to devious means in order to take him down: bring in a gay and load up the categories with fashion and Broadway. Helluva run either way. 🫡 🧡

The "long gun" at the WHCD was a shotgun. 🙄 I've seen geese take multiple shotgun blasts and keep flying. You use a scattergun on a grouse, not to take down the most protected human on Earth.

I stopped watching the NBA when they stole the Sonics, and now some rich jerk is gonna bring them back and (mark my words) demand the city pay for new facilities. Ugh. Plus, the product sucks: superteams, load management, tanking. Teams score 130+ points... and lose. NO THANKS.

Tax season is extra fun when you think about Noem giving $220M to her friend to make ICE videos or when they need $200B more for a war they won 2 weeks ago...

I know there's death afoot and things far more important than sport, but this makes me so sad. I've been to multiple WCs and it's a celebration of humanity on a planet-wide scale. It's THE MOST fun. Disappointing that today's leaders have sullied that for the world.

I got all these cultured, erudite friends and not one of you bothered to tell us about Harbison cheese from Jasper Hill Farm?! That's an 11/10 fromage, bromage. It puts Vermont in the Top 10 of States. 🐮

Had a 10pm soccer game and scored, NBD. No really, we lost by like 8 goals, so it didn't matter. Anyhow, I went and got a Shamrock Shake after the game and it reminded me that Bar Dust is bringing their Pogues party to the land very soon. You should go, they're super fun.

Friends, if we wanna vanquish evil, we gotta read a book per month. They can even be bad and/or short books. Grateful they went with TESB instead of this original sequel. 😅 And please read Snyder's "History and Liberty" epilogue from "On Tyranny" next time you're in a bookstore. It's like 4 pages.

Attn: IOC Forget the Nordic Combined event. We need a Nordic Decathlon: Skiing AND Snowboarding. Luge. Solo curling? Okay, that one doesn't make the cut, but speed skating AND figure skating. Who ever can win this is a true maniac and deserves to be a President of Earth.

With 2.5 million pages still left to be released of THE FILES, my favorite goes out to (of course) Norman Finkelstein who emailed Epstein saying he was going to strangle him and Alan Dershowitz, haha. One down one to go...

Not me wearing my @seahawksofficial.com scarf on the local news in Western Mass. It was -12° wind chill down at the food pantry, so @wwlp-22news.bsky.social came to document the indomitable spirit of the Gray House. 💪🥶 #SBLX

The "Pink Jacket" video shows this was a public lynching. Another angle shows a pig applauding while they unload into his corpse. Absolute cowardice. Decent humans are gonna have to re-think how to engage this terrorism. They ain't playing by any rules and neither should you.

Anyone can see it was murder carried out by poorly trained ICE. Worse yet is watching Conservative outlets justifying it. That woman died protecting people in her community, which is more than I can say for 99.9% of the "Warrior" types we've been taught to worship.

When media reported on a politician convicted of crimes, they cry, "iT's a wITcHhUNt!" Same people barge into childcare facilities looking to film *KIDS* (surprise, it's -7° outside and Winter Break) and are praised as patriots. Looking for a foreigner stealing money? Elon Musk got $38B.

You (yes, you) have been wisely ignoring my posts all year, and I will forgive you for that. But this is *the* 2025 playlist with one track from all the homies. That way, next time we're hangin', you can say to me, "Oh yeah, I checked out all that shit..." and pat me on the head.

Booked some UK shows. Doing more overseas stuff in 2026 *grumble, grumble* and I gotta say, I much prefer working with Brits over Krauts. Pains me to say it. I may even lift my hex on their National Team in 2026. ✨ TBD.

The woman making my burrito (don't worry, it was a White girl) had her 9-week-old baby sleeping in the kitchen. Reminds me of how the CEO of Boeing who presided over the faulty 737s got awarded $33M for getting fired. Zohran and AOC are not the problem.

Ever since Donald took office I've been getting "Official Business" letters every month from the IRS... and each time it's a survey. So much for less government. Go away.

I went to Holyoke to eat at Seattle's own Red Robin, in hopes that it pushes the Mariners over the edge tonight. (Even though RR is a Radical Left woke Lib establishment and I'm a staunch Conservative [and no, not like those gutless RINOs]). Go Ms! 🔱
