there's a new Borknagar album and it's so inspiring because to be able to deliver exactly what the people who like your stuff will like and not come off like you're spinning your wheels, that's a tough trick.

my "old memes" thread has inadvertently alerted me that there are exactly zero high-quality versions of Speak the Hungarian Rapper's "Stop the War" online. All of this will be washed away like tears in rain everybody

it's like there was an explosion of good ideas on message boards + early bird app 12 years or so ago and as soon as they'd all filtered down to everybody we were like "cool we have a vocabulary now. let's just use that"

I don’t hang there much because it’s mostly unpleasant now, but people really do love to pivot to moralizing at the first available opportunity. it’s an addiction
