If you’d asked me a month ago if I thought someone could make a Halloween banger out of falsetto vocals, slant rhymes, and lyrics about being a self-loathing mess in love with someone who’s sick of your shit, I’d have said no. But here we are today with Tame Impala’s “Dracula”.

Yes, the Apple Music experience. The last music app where I felt I knew what the fuck was happening was Rdio. Absolutely cursed genre of software.

Oh, in the desktop app you right click and choose “Show in Apple Music” for reasons passing understanding

When my family immigrated to this country, they did it the right way: falling from the night sky like embers, burrowing into the familiar silicates, slowly extending questing tendrils to sample the complex organic molecules of this new world, learning the logic of the self-replicators, assimilating

If you click the little three-dot menu button there is “Go to album”. You can also long press on songs for a context menu.

I am not at all joking. On his second run he crashed so hard he had to be airlifted from the site.

How do I explain to my friends that Red Bull Rampage has some of the most talented mountain bikers in existence riding some of the most challenging terrain on the planet and also that one of them crashed because his pants fell down and his ass was entirely out as he flew through the air off a jump

And a follow-up question: which, if any, of the Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade floats would you not fuck

saw this clip of the NYC mayor debate and i had tears in my eyes, perhaps the most insane section of any debate ever

He let down hard-working New Yorkers by not delivering on his campaign promise to find, catch, cook, and eat a leprechaun

Kind of fun to see people arguing over whether Mamdani is qualified to run the city when Eric Adams is still the actual mayor

It’s all the more fuckheaded given that whatever imagined slings and arrows Romney suffered at the hands of his political opponents in 2012 fucking pale in comparison to his abject humiliation by his fellow conservatives *just four fucking years later*.

It’s just wild to me that folks are popping up out of a dumpster labeled “GOP Talking Points (2010-2014)” with a tattered Romney press release in their mouths like a fucking raccoon and then trying to explain the current political moment to me.

What’s cool about the “they called Romney a Nazi” discourse is that you can go look at primary sources on that. That election was 13 years ago. You can read what people said then and then tab over to what people are saying today and wonder how all these people all got kicked in the head by horses.

I think it’s fine to have one character who talks like a Wikipedia article as long as all the other characters think they’re fucking nuts and argue with them constantly

“But Chestblade!” Dogdick injected, “That’s Prince Bu-Nyon, second in line to the Moist Throne from the vast and arid lands of Fuckall, whose primary export is squeeze, a psychoactive extract from the skunklion’s scent glands, and the key to the Glass Peace!” “Why are you like this?” spat Chestblade

World-building is wildly overrated. Here we are with access to all the world’s knowledge at all times and the average person doesn’t know who was president in 2020. You really think Dogdick Shieldtoucher is gonna lore dump about the Vulvonia Dynasty in a tavern in Mudfuck?

Independently of it being hilarious and highlighting the wild abuses of power, wearing an inflatable costume to tank on the front lines of a protest is a great way to disguise the fact that you’re wearing full protective gear. For everyone else, you’re just an invulnerable banana.

definitely a party down here at ICE now that the naked bike riders have shown up en masse

View across wet commercial rooftops showing a large group of Naked Bike Ride cyclists gathering on a street in the distance. In the middle ground, the Portland ICE building is visible with federal officers positioned on its rooftop. A multi-level parking structure appears on the left, and a highway with traffic is visible in the upper right. The scene is set against a backdrop of dense trees on a rainy, overcast day.
