Hi, hello! I wrote about the new @terzijdehorde.bsky.social and I clearly had a lot to say about it.

Spoiler: it's not mentioned in the review, but I got very emotional about this album.

There's a new Terzij de Horde out, and Hera wrote about it.

Album Review: Terzij de Horde – Our Breath Is Not Ours Alone

About three years ago I wrote about In One of These, I Am Your Enemy, a dense album that dealt with the perception of reality and how the choices we make are both influenced by others and driven by our own autonomy. It haunted me, its themes staying so close it managed to rank very high in my 2022 AOTY list…

It’s impossible to overstate how much “abolish ice” is the normie position now here in chicago — just countless random moms at toddler soccer on a park district field asking me where I bought my anti-ice t-shirt. average people don’t like our neighborhoods being terrorized.

A friend ran the Chicago marathon today and said he couldn’t count the number of FUCK ICE signs along the way.

I think we really should stop using antifa and just fully say anti-fascist and get them saying they are against anti fascism. Using antifa is giving them some distance and I genuinely think some of their base don’t even know that’s what it stands for.

You can safely replace “AI” with “corporations and billionaires” in any mainstream piece of content.

The bullshit about the American military being antifa is getting a little deep

Some of y'all twist the facts to suit your sentiments

The USA was the Nazis before the Nazis were the Nazis

OG 1930s antifa was made up of Communists

The people literally streetfighting Nazis were also Anarchists
