It stresses me out that this platform is so similar to Threads, and it also stresses me out that the one that seems like the “better” option isn’t as popping as the other one, but most of all it stresses me out that these are things that stress me out

@seandammit.bsky.social Just checking out your 1995 episode... DAMN. Love this new format. It's the reason podcasts were invented 👊🏽 We did our '95 ep last week and it's interesting to compare and contrast your takes. 94 gets gets all the props but 95 is hip -hop's low-key best year. Yeah I said it

I know you’re not supposed to talk about these things, but… I have never heard a U2 song that made me think “I want to hear how the rest of this song plays out” Let alone “I want to hear multiple songs by this band in a row”

I’ve been regularly entrenched in the nightmare of America’s health insurance system most of my life. In the darkest, most frustratingly desperate times, I have had the thought that the only catalyst for real change would come via a brick thru a window…or something more extreme. It is what it is.

I have a Spotify account but use it infrequently (Apple Music is my main jam). So my unwrapped list is always hilariously random and off-base, and the way the data is presented has heavy “happy birthday, I heard you mention a turtle once so here’s a turtle t-shirt” gift-from-a-relative vibes
