@deirdreassenza.bsky.social happy birthday!!!!!!! Woooooo!!!
September is apparently pain awareness month, so be aware that I am pretty much always in pain. It doesn’t make my life not worth living, but it does require compassionate management in order to make it work. Stigmatizing opioids makes that much harder.
Here's the thing - Seeing the kinds of people who are mad at Bluesky makes me like this website more. If you find yourself agreeing with Nate Silver or whoever about internet forum beef, that should give you pause.
The biggest mistake liberals make on media issues is assuming the mainstream media gives a single fuck. They don’t care. They’re rich and they’re white and they’re protected. None of this affects them. They don’t give a shit. If you understand this fact then the tone of the coverage makes sense.
please do it. unless you care more about yourself than the stuff you claim to fight for. at which point i'm never reading your stuff anyway and i'm happy to have avoided that red flag before i got tangled in it
holy shit cd long box. that's a blast from the past. got so many albums from tower records and the wiz like that
We’re all complaining about the poor quality of journalism in the MSM, and rightfully so. Here’s a solution: don’t use it. Fewer views = less revenue. They respond to the marketplace same as any other business. I get 90% of my news from NPR…and I contribute every month.
Ditto.
i really thought soto was gonna get the cycle. still what a game.
If the witch hunts restarted tomorrow, Keir Starmer would say people have legitimate concerns about women who can float on water
I’m sorry. That sounds like what happens to my wife. Kind of like SAD but adjacent to it. It’s tough.
Oh wow! He got the call?! Great!!
Indeed. I was responding to someone else. But Bluesky did that thing where it showed you I responded without telling you I was responding to someone else that responded to you :) Cheers my friend
This is correct. I did a huge deep dive into this a few months back cause I always thought it was Indian and brought over. But a British trivia show in watch commented it was actually invented in the UK and I couldn’t believe it
Well I’m here for that :)
Thank you. So so much. I can’t tell you how much this means to me. Especially with how badly I’ve been struggling physically and mentally lately. This is a light in the darkness today. I wish I had better words.
I CAN NOT BELIEVE the sun didn’t run last place the entire season. Incredible they won 10. Good for them though!!!
Oh wow!!! Thank you so so much. I am beyond grateful. My stuff is under WIREHOUND or Paul Wenzel. I think it’s all linked on the WIREHOUND website though Please let me know what you think!!! I’m so excited and grateful.
The fact you don’t know or understand the difference between defending someone and saying other people have blood on their hands just continues to prove my point about you. But please keep digging that hole and making your cause look worse and more unhinged. You’re doing yourself a lot of favors
I like to give new stand ups a good shot But this is an immediate red flag and I will turn them off and never watch them again. Some things just aren’t fucking funny. And someone else suffering is first on the list.
I exist on here to call out morons who make breathtakingly stupid points or try to “call out” someone for something they never said and never implied Maybe you should learn how to read and learn what words mean before getting mad at some dude who is on your side and agrees with you. Fucking idiot.
I didn’t realize 1994 came before the terms of Nixon and Reagan
Are you illiterate? Did you get 0 on every reading comprehension section of every standardized test?
Wow I didn’t realize merrick garland appointed himself and refused to replace himself with someone who was up to the challenge of our time.
Merrick Garland is Biden, Obama, and the DNCs fault. So you’re close. But garland wasn’t president and didn’t appoint himself. Or let him keep his job.
My disability is triggered by many things. Comically so many things cause life ending pain. I think cold may be the worst of all of them I used to celebrate the end of summer. But it just means so so much extra pain now. And not being able to go outside at all for months without indescribable agony
I have him ranked as the 5th best “modern” American songwriter. Unless I get to include myself then he’s 6th. :)
THERE IS NEW MITCHELL AND WEBB COMING THIS WEEK I REPEAT: THERE IS NEW MITCHELL AND WEBB COMING THIS WEEK
If you respect Taylor Lorenz, then you are a fool and a rube who gives honor too swiftly and without concern for how it reflects on yourself.
Quit posting about the app you’re posting on. Block anyone who is. Knock this shit off.
The conspiracy, the one that exists in the world, can be shown by the evidence it left behind. It is a decades-long multi-industry effort to defang the means by which the public could hold powerful industries to account.
And the long range forecast for all of this month has it 5-10 degrees below normal the whole time. So you are right. Summer just kind fucked off out the back door a week ago and that’s it.
oh wow. i'm so happy. thank you so much. i hope you love it. it's the culmination of my life's work, and i've never been more proud of something. i think it's perfect. i hope you find a little perfection and a little joy and a little pain in it.
Oh what?!? Really???
i am disabled and lonely. and deep down i just hope one day people will listen to my music and care
thank you. i had to spend a good few minutes trying to think of a good enough example. but i think that one does nail it for me, at least. disco elysium, when it comes to video games, is the 10/10 for me. same thing - perfect example.
oh no, the whole thing is fine. i just always think it's interesting there is a difference between an acronym and an initialism and most people just use acronym! the post is correct about the outkast album anyway, so i'm not gonna be critical in the slightest
an acronym is pronounced as one word. like SCUBA. an initialism is when the letters themselves are pronounced, like ATL or FBI they are two different things. fun fact.
thems fighting words.
sounds like you never listened to the first 2 albums. everything after the colour and the shape? sure. 100%. but the self titled and colour are incredible. everything else is meh, at best.
nailed it.
don't get my hopes up like that
the first time I saw the album name "in the aeroplane over the sea" by the band Neutral Milk Hotel, i got a double burst of "what the absolute fuck" but somehow both fit perfectly.
I just inherently distrust anyone like her. They’re all just grifters. I haven’t even been able to give those folks the benefit of the doubt since 2015. I don’t listen to podcasts. I don’t watch YouTubers. I will not go to substack or twitter or meta anything. I just hate all of that. So much.
When it comes to my disability, nicknamed the suicide disease and regarded as the most painful condition known to medicine, a common phrase I used to use was “I wouldn’t wish this on my worst enemy” But that’s not true anymore. There are many, many people right now who deserve this and so much more
He was so close to a perfect, terrible joke “Guess I’ll just stick to birds and smut from now on. Anyways… tits or whatever”
Well blue prince is incredible If you are looking for RPGs the final fantasy remasters and the DQ3 remaster did a lot with stopping the need for grinding. I mean it’s night and day compared to the original NES games I played in the 80s :) you can set XP to 4x in the ff remasters. It’s AWESOME.
And if it’s not unpaid kids, we gotta make sure it’s adults who won’t remember their own kids names in 5 years and develop hyper violent tendencies from the CTE. And then get thrown in the trash I just can’t enjoy a sport unless someone is permanently destroying themselves for my entertainment
I mean baseball is great but where are all the unpaid kids developing permanent brain damage, with no long term help from the colleges that cheered it on while pocketing billions and billions of dollars? If college aged kids aren’t destroying themselves FOR FREE, how can it be best?
It was like that here too. Then a couple months ago the chicken satay appetizer went from 5-6 bucks for the 3 sticks to 12. Still makes me sad. I could live off those things.
I am SO FUCKING PARTICULAR when it comes to.. like… how a word sounds. Every part of a song has to have the right sound. Including the words and the vowel noises and everything. And I feel like I can’t know that until I’ve become familiar with a song. Or the full orchestration you know?
I’ll have like phrases or something I want to use and make music that fits it and then go from there for sure. But like.. writing a poem or something and then trying to get it to fit right just always leaves me wanting you know?? Man I love LOVE talking to people who do it different. It’s so cool
He’s incredible I told my family last year Alvarez has something in him that could make him my favorite met of all time and I still stand by that His dedication and drive and desire to win and intelligence are just so amazing. And his answer to Elmo last week made me love him even more.
You write lyrics FIRST?!?!?!?! Oh man. I think I have one song out of like 1200 I did lyrics first. I can’t wrap my head around doing it that way. It’s so much more difficult (for me).
Saw them open for foo fighters a year ago or so. One of the best opening acts I’ve ever seen in my life. And I’m a professional musician. So I’ve seen A FUCKLOAD. Both my wife and I said we’d ABSOLUTELY go see them headline. I didn’t know they had a new album. I’m excited to listen.
It’s good for the jag balls to get all that shit. But I feel for their kids who are innocent. And the sick people in their lives they might infect. Like the non mask assholes during Covid that killed their grandparents
Jill Stein and Cornel West both disgust me — such goddamn, self-serving hypocrites.
The Secretary of HHS does not accept that germs cause illness. The logical conclusion of that is the worst pseudoscience of all: eugenics. He believes that it is not germs that cause illness, but personal failure (or if you're Chinese or Jewish he thinks bioweapons were designed to avoid you).
We are an acceptable sacrifice. Ends justify the means. As long as their team wins.
Of course Newsom's enemies, the disabled & homeless & trans people, are the enemies of his fans too. They'd love to see us excluded & battered that's why they don't see the problem. We don't belong in their "tent" or whatever.
so happy for you!!! to a lot of fun and happiness in the future for you both!
Yayyyyyyyy!!!!!!!!

If you are okay with this, if you think this is justified, if you think people living on the street have brought this upon themselves, if you think this is good leadership, you may be able to fool yourself that you care about others but you don’t fool me
What the fuck did I miss tonight? Folks are talking about some crazy shit.
I hadn’t checked my phone or the internet for nearly 12 hours and I have no idea what so many of you are talking about. Did big things happen? Is the bad man missing? What the hell is going on
It’s a perfect 10/10 song. One of the greatest songs recorded. Also the only even decent song by the killers. Which is crazy.
RIP WALGREENS (1901-2025)
I have to drive somewhere tomorrow. The maps app gave me two main options: The first one is 49 minutes and is 39 miles The second one is 53 minutes and 51 miles. I feel like… you gotta take the 51 mile one cause that one is just gonna be 60 mph the whole time right?
The fact that all major news sources in the United States have daily lead stories like "Experts weigh in on the most delicious ice cream" and not "Democracy is dead" is one of the greatest derelictions in duty in the history of the country.
As I get closer to finalizing the tracks and track list of the next album, I am going to need to start getting serious feedback on some of these tunes. Would yall be supportive if I do some YouTube streams over the next few months? I’d love to get some opinions of everything. www.wirehound.com
Hello it’s me Sam Altman I have a zillion dollar idea it’s a chat bot that tells teenagers to kill themselves and you can generate csam with it and it poisons the air and water and it’s wrong most of the time and we’re going to put it in your refrigerator and stuff 👍 I need more money for this btw
The summon from final fantasy x?? Broken.
With special guest Jowling Kowling Rowling
Is he really??? No way
Don’t try to get rational answers from angry morons my friend. They just want to be angry and they’re too stupid too know why so it’s a fire hose pointed at everyone.
I really can't believe I have to say this again: I served so you could burn the flag (safely), if you so choose.
What an incredible group of irredeemable assholes.
More people should listen to wirehound. And use wirehound songs in your short videos and reels and stuff. And tell your friends and other folks that some dude came out with one of the best debut albums of all time and no one knows it. Even if the website isn’t updated enough www.wirehound.com
Another “antifascist” still posting on substack. As if that doesn’t invalidate everything they claim to stand for “Guys these nazis are so bad. Not bad enough for me to stop using their website. That’d take minimal effort by me. But YOU all need to sacrifice to save me. Now to post this to twitter”
When you weaponize power solely to use it against Black leaders in the United States, that, ladies and gentlemen, is racism by a white bigot.
If fleet foxes have a song about any topic it’d be hard to find a more beautiful song about it
This is why it's a good idea for sports media companies to have actual journalists on staff, instead of making the guy whose job boils down to "thin rewrites of text messages from agents so he can tweet it out first" your most prominent reporter. (And Shams doesn't know how to write)
Absolutely. That’s how I look at it too
WHAT!?!?!
She’d make 0 dollars
Me either. But in all honestly I try to avoid anything and everything non baseball from nimmo and Keith Hernandez and all those folks. It makes me too sad and upset. So I wouldn’t be surprised if it was out there. But I’ve never seen it thank god.
Reminder that the BBC refused to broadcast a documentary about the Israeli attacks on hospitals in Gaza. The BBC (along with the majority of legacy media orgs) are complicit in the genocide. Fuck the BBC.
Yep I have to do the same. While missing the hell out of Canha and Taijuan walker. I even named my walker “taijuan” the day he went into the team store and was buying rainbow stuff for folks.
Transphobia and homophobia
It depends on if you’re trying to make the playoffs or trying to get the best draft pick
I see all these people demanding DC statehood as if Marvel doesn’t deserve it more.
if you’re willing to throw another population under the bus to save yourself, you’re not actually willing to fight fascism. fascism isn’t a bear, it can’t be escaped by simply outrunning someone slower than you. the only way it can be defeated is through solidarity.
Guys we have to do something By which i mean you have to do something I can’t even be bothered to switch off Nazi substack cause it would be slightly more difficult to get famous But you all have work to do and sacrifices to make Pardon me I’m gonna go post this on twitter now
Lolol posting resistance stuff on a Nazi website is peak American liberalism isn’t it??
I love this so much
Officially down 111 pounds. That’s a fun number.
The only Newsom I love and support is Joanna When is the new album coming out. Someone please tell me. It’s been over a year since the residency. Those songs were Amazing. When do we get to hear them finished. She will cement herself as the greatest American songwriter.
