Two days after the 9/11 terrorist attacks Serj Tankian of System of a Down posts the essay Understanding Oil to the band's website. Sony removes the essay amid claims Tankian was justifying the attacks and the band was monitored by the CIA for subversive activities (2001)

We unlocked our 9/11 episode last year, and to this day it's some of my favorite work we've ever done. There's an easy way to do 9/11 and nu metal, through cheap jokes and spectacle, but more powerful to sit with the specificity. Hope you'll listen.

The guys behind Psychostick weren't always having trouble counting to four. Once upon a time, they were navigating early adulthood as Evacuate Chicago. Take a look back at their lone studio album 'Veracity': numetalagenda.com/a-spring-wit...

Riviera, PhD @riviera.bsky.social · 26/07/2026

The Odyssey is a cool experience, but I think sufferers from the fact that if you've had the kind of great books education it posits as good, you recognize that it should be the Aeneid.

My favorite part in Dune 2 was when they got nervous about how many scenes on Arrakis were yellow/sepia toned so they had Zendaya look into the camera and say "I love the late afternoon when the light is yellowish for non-cultural reasons"
