Don’t worry it’s self loathing as something of a dogmatic Marxist myself

portisheadcanon @thediscocat.bsky.social · 1d

I think theory is chill, it makes a lot of sense to me, it’s certainly a tool in the tool box tho I have issue with dogmatic Marxists and encourage you to read Zapatista stuff if you haven’t

portisheadcanon @thediscocat.bsky.social · 1d

I’d ask if we are reading Marx over here however the latest follow from some “radical centerist” account with an AI generated pfp answers that question for me

No that’s not soup for my family, it’s actually soup for my books to prevent me from objectifying them too much

Are you telling me I’m at the mercy of a fell music lover’s whims for the next 2 hours and that might include things I know and love as well as tunes I didn’t know I need to hear? HELL YEA

Local independent radio is not only so good, it’s absolutely crucial

portisheadcanon @thediscocat.bsky.social · 8d

My bias here has bias however this statement is absolutely correct

Besides these two and the actual old bay seasoned chips by the brand I forgot, so other crab chips exist

Daniel Bachman @danielbachman.bsky.social · Sep 5

I love the UTZ, but Route 11 might be the best crab chip out there. 🦀

A bay of rout 11 crab chips in a blu bag with a cartoon lookingcrab on the bottom.

I know it exists and the chances of me finding a copy in the wild is pretty low never the less we can dream

portisheadcanon @thediscocat.bsky.social · Aug 14

What if the former is my latter?

What I really need to do is go back to Third more frequently. It’s always Dummy and S/T revisits

portisheadcanon @thediscocat.bsky.social · Aug 3
