X-Tinction Agenda above Supernovas is quite a choice. I know it's a classic Jim Lee story and all, but it doesn't have a single Child of the Vault in it

As a guy who got to metal from noise, it was the only subgenre I could tolerate for years.
Drew Sherrick (@dsherrick.bsky.social) reply parent
Unless you are somehow so incurious that you don't immediately learn about bands you're listening to, it's incredibly hard to accidentally listen to Nazi BM. Only someone who doesn't put any effort into their engagement with things could spend more than 5 minutes with this stuff and not know.
Drew Sherrick (@dsherrick.bsky.social) reply parent
It's incredibly easy to not listen to Nazi black metal if you like BM. Just do the slightest bit of research into the band first.
Drew Sherrick (@dsherrick.bsky.social) reply parent
Considering that it's in Madrid, the Nazis probably weren't the only fascists they worked with

I mean, any situation where he doesn't acknowledge at some point that Gavin Newsom, just to name one, is a monster, is gonna undermine credibility
Drew Sherrick (@dsherrick.bsky.social) reply parent
To be fair though, a good portion of the rest of the Dem party is actively complicit with the fascist takeover and trying to undermine any efforts to fight back, and I don't think it's at all realistic or productive to downplay that the enemy is in his party as well.

It's hard to feed a habit with the money you make doing noise. Usually it's more financially akin to having a drug addiction.

If it comes down to this guy or Trump I'd probably just rather have Trump because Newsome would be the exact same thing but with MSNBC justifying all of the Trump policies that he's carried over.

Every other character that Hickman writes has drama and character development and everything like that. Maximus just gets to have fun 100% of the time

When all is said and done I really hope that the only legacy that Ron Howard has is that he made a movie that helped further the political career of JD Vance. I know he did a lot of other things but he doesn't deserve to be remembered for any of those after making Hillbilly Elegy

I was googling to look up something in the Skullflower discography and found a Quietus article from a few years ago about it. (Unfortunately it was right after I had bought one of his old ones on bandcamp and it kinda killed my enthusiasm to listen to it).

In addition to all of the Epstein stuff Lawrence Krauss is really obnoxious in person and even in 2002 when I was interviewing him for a college class, he was still an overbearing jackass that embodied every annoying tendency of internet atheism.

Oh good answer I hadn't thought about that but yeah he definitely have that side. Id imagine Skullflower is in this category for a lot of folks too. I just found out a couple weeks ago about that dude's slide into right wing blood and soil vibes.

I'd say it was either the Supreme Court essentially appointing Bush president via judicial decision or the Supreme Court decision in Citizen's United that did it, but we're, at best, an oligaigarchy with limited democratic elements and we were definitely there before Trump

I fully expect that any future Dem administrations will continue operations at Alligator Auschwitz no matter how many people die there this administration. I wouldn't be surprised if they continued sending people to El Salvador. They might not initiate things, but they never turn them back either.

It's not like I haven't listened to all of his albums! I think Zappa was an incredible composer, but his abilities as satirist, social commentator, and lyricist make the worst episode of dreck like South Park look like the most subtle, hilarious, insightful thing ever made by comparison.

It's always seemed vaguely libertarian but ultimately politically incoherent to me. There is no force on Earth that could get me to engage with his non-instrumental music for more than the time it takes to move the arm on a turntable to the next song, though, So I guess I'll take your word for it.
