Starting a running thread of new music I’m listening to. Goal is one new album a day.

First up, Architects’ first album Hollow Crown. Great stuff. If I’d snagged it in 2009 when it released, it would have become a sizable part of my personality. I can see why Architects has the following they do.

Why doesn’t anyone know Guybrush Threepwood’s birthday?

How old is The Secret of Monkey Island, really?

Holy shit. Tsai is notorious for drinking on the job and making jokes about spiking people's drinks. Did these guys do any research at all?

What happened at the Contemporary is very tragic but the juxtaposition here is just amazing

The timing of DFB’s latest Tiny Train Town report is uh, unfortunate

Oh 100%. I’m a skeptic about his whole deal and winning a primary would do a whole lot to convince me that it’s legit

You can see people pre-baking the narrative for if (when?) he loses and it’s all very tedious

So the emerging consensus I’m seeing re: Platner seems to be “my guy is sure to win and shame on you for making him prove that”

my man, nobody is "sure to win" against Susan Collins, she is literally one of the most talented & successful Republican politicians of the last 60+ years. anyone who says ANY Democrat is a sure thing in Maine clearly has no clue what the fuck they're talking about other than their own vibes.

feels like it is very important to remind everyone atm that Susan Collins was down around ~10-12 at this point in the 2020 cycle to all the potential Dem candidates, and she went on to beat her otherwise pretty popular challenger in the general by *8 full points* in a blue wave cycle.

Love following tech people because half my feed is posts I totally for real understand like “new MonĀ is so good at r2 modal outputs despite negative caulk flow? Even with only a D6G(s)???”

Man this game is so good. Built entirely on solid gold ideas like “no pop cap” and “big gun shoot real far”. It’s perfect.

What began as a conflict over whether emulsified cheese dips (ex: Velveeta) are "real cheese" escalated into a war which has decimated a million worlds...

I did not expect a Nicholas Sparks and M. Night Shyamalan collaboration, but we're heard good things and have a stack of this co-written supernatural love story in stock.

"Remain," $22.50 in hardcover. Let us now if you'd like us to hold you a copy.

If the guy running on being a young outsider can’t figure out how to win against the super old insider, he doesn’t deserve to win

This is exactly the kind of thing a campaign like Platner’s is designed to run against and if he can’t win against it then I dunno what to tell you

🚨 The DSCC — led by Kirsten Gillibrand, Mark Kelly, Adam Schiff, and Lisa Blunt Rochester — has formed a joint fundraising committee with Janet Mills.

Mills, running against Graham Platner in the Maine Democratic Senate primary, would become the oldest freshman (79) ever elected, to a 6-year term.
