An unused #SNES piece of #Battletoads in Battlemaniacs artwork by Steve Lang. The artwork we got it's pretty good but this one is also fantastic. Usual upscale/clean/retouch process applied. Thanks to @ovga.bsky.social for sharing this one!

Y’all really don’t get how Black women be in the TRENCHES outchea. Like, after last night, the first women mayors were elected in Albany, Detroit, and Syracuse. And every one of them is Black.

This needs more attention: Zohran SPLIT the straights with Cuomo. ALL of his margin was from LGBTQ+ voters. Every Dem who ever said “we should abandon the transes” needs this shoved down their fucking throat with a ramrod.

The real lesson is to put an actual hard number on income categories instead of shit like "the top 10%." People ALWAYS massively overestimate what percentile they're in, but a hard number for comparison lets them say oh yeah, fuck the rich, I ain't ever gonna see that number in my life.
This is how it looked on the ballot.
Clear and easy to understand.

This, over time the centrists' attempts to blame everything on the zoomers or Latinos look more and more like an attempt to keep the heat off their beloved Gen X
i think another lesson from this is that young guys are still less likely to have fully coherent politics & can be fickle

basically every 2024 truism is dead. Trump did not build a lasting multiracial coalition or turn young men into committed Republicans. You don’t need to cave on trans rights to win. The pundits have nothing left to tell you.

At the risk of sounding petty, calls for Democratic unity going forward are all well and good, but let’s not forget that the reason Cuomo ran against Mamdani in the first place was a last-ditch effort by the New York Democratic Party to ratfuck their duly elected nominee.

Here's a rare rateyourmusic W for the day: Ministry's highest-rated single on there is Every Day is Halloween
i've come to think that genuinely is their best song, and maybe the best synthpop track of all time? Funny thing is Al hated it bc he's a meathead, but he's more at peace w/ it now IIRC

we really need more analysis of the very strange time in the early 90s when a handful of bands were trying to make the Sunset Strip sound into something more cerebral/experimental. Extreme's "Pornograffitti" is probably the ur-example but this and T-Ride's s/t deserve a lot more attention.

A hair metal band tries to adapt to the 90s w/ a frontman whose story was pure pro wrestling (and whom you could smell a mile away). How that genre could've evolved...
Highlights: Jawohl Asshole, Fuckin' Shit Ass, School's for Fools, Telephone Call

The media is about to blitz us with stories about how awful Maduro is and I want you to remember that even if they're all true, they are being issued solely for the purpose of manufacturing consent for invading Venezuela and killing innocent people.

Hi morning crew, started updating this thread again! The album quoted here is one you really need to check out if you like any of the other stuff i posted - it's criminally overlooked among the noise-rock crowd!
Chrome - 3rd from the Sun
And here's the closest sonic precursor to Filth! Less industrial/grimy and a lot more spacey, which makes for a unique atmosphere in this genre. Up there with Half Machine Lip Moves as this band's finest hour.
Highlights: Firebomb, Armageddon, Heart Beat

last repost: this reminds me of one particular autistic vtuber who had a rant along similar lines a while back, i.e. introversion/extroversion being pseudoscience
her argument was that it's just way harder for ASD folks to find the kind of social connections that aren't horribly draining

Every time I see a social media meme about being an introvert, which is at least once a week, I think about how the modern conception of introversion was popularized by a book by a woman who worked on Wall Street who felt that she was so different and special compared to her coked up male colleagues

You knew this was coming if you were paying attention to fantasy sports 10 years ago - they were the first to get completely swallowed up by sports-betting outfits, some of which initially disguised themselves as "daily fantasy sports" before going mask-off years later
