I don't think this passes the "not necessarily widely critically beloved" bit, because this was very well received, but still gotta be one of the best of the decade imo

Sound of White Noise is a complete no skips record for me and I was overjoyed to see it got a vinyl pressing a few years ago

Slowly Type O Negative is getting more critical recognition; there was a Pitchfork Sunday Review of Bloody Kisses a few years back. But October Rust was always my favorite of theirs, a totally unique goth metal record that a lot more music dorks would love if they knew it was in their wheelhouse.

The cover of Type O Negative's October Rust, one of the great unsung albums of the nineties.

Don’t know if this meets the criteria, but Underworld’s ‘94 album “Dubnobasswithmyheadman” is one of the best albums ever.

Underworld’s “Dubnobasswithmyheadman” is one of the best albums ever, and if you’ve never heard it you should do yourself a favor and go listen to it right now.

This album is two years older than me and I heard it for the first time when I was 16 in 2012, so not exactly 90s nostalgia, but I find “Alison” to be a deeply comforting song. I listened to it that entire summer, which included two deaths in my class. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Souvlak...

Twilight by bôa was one I discovered through serial experiments lain and was basically on repeat in my household through the earlier stages of my transition.

Maybe, but that's not what your quited post is doing.

It's just the usual blather about how leftists cannot possibly understand their own positions.

As an added bonus, it's reclaiming frogs (Pepe) from the fascists, destroying one of their more important symbols and morale.

The iconic art deco movie poster designed by John Mattos was cited by Disney as a key issue in the marketing for THE ROCKETEER (1991) as it was a mysterious image that didn’t showcase the cast enough. Funny enough, this is exactly what made me want to see the film originally.

No Kings may be useful in putting pressure on Democrats: 'look even the nice suburban mums you want to vote for you are out in the streets, do something'.

Not consistent yet; one of the nauruslop series in ep2 still had the main subtitles over the Japanese character intros, the translation of which was shown one line above the subs.

I’m as appalled as the next person by Trump’s admin randomly bombing boats in international waters without oversight and accountability.

I nevertheless fail to see the difference between this and Obama’s drone campaigns.

Can someone enlighten me?

Obama’s covert drone war in numbers: ten times more strikes than Bush

The use of drones aligned with Obama’s ambition to keep up the war against al Qaeda while extricating the US military from intractable ground wars, but…

This is a child's understanding of politics

Will o the Wisse @wissewords.bsky.social · 6h

All politics is telling people what they want to hear.

That's not an argument, that's a thought ending cliche.
