Yeah I added those sort of compulsively because they're the most obvious ones to me. Memento kind of works as horror, for something a little less obvious off the top of my head

Please block and report @tobinelliott.bsky.social

Even though I've blocked them, they somehow (🙃) keep screenshotting my account in order to harass me.

I've sent in a ticket to BS moderation, as well (fat lot of good that'll do).

I feel like The Hold Steady has more examples of "only rock lyric to mention" than any other band (although maybe if we're including rap, the Beastie's might give them a run for their money)

Also, the drum part is... nothing. The lyrics are some of the most brutal and bleak to ever crack the top forty though

I want to remind everyone: It's PERFECTLY OKAY to still love art made by people who turn out to be terrible. It's good not to SUPPORT those people, once you know they've done horrible things, but the WORK ITSELF lives in your heart and you own it as much as anyone else does.

a probably unpopular opinion is that the escalating culture of leveraging bullying and victim-blaming to coerce people into voting for democrats has actually been an acceleration mechanism for fascist creep, and bears significant blame for where we are today.

I grew up in Embarrass. We used to get occasional mentions by Willard Scott on the Today Show when it got really cold.

She was poised to become the teenybopper sensation that we all respected as an artist. Then we forgot about her and Kylie Minogue took the spot.

People are freaking out. For a variety of reasons and from multiple perspectives that might seem alien to someone freaking out from a totally different perspective. So let's give each other a little grace, as a treat.

Nader's arrogant and won't listen to anyone but himself, but he was just some third-party candidate. If Dems hadn't alienated a chunk of their base throughout the 90s he wouldn't have gotten any traction. And Republicans literally fucking stole the election, so....

Ralph Nader really shouldn't be saying shit rn and he's been worse than useless for a while, but if you think he's the *primary* reason for the situation we're in I'm not sure where to even start with that

That's the basic issue. There's a depressing effect when a party is forced to change candidates late in the game, and the press would unleash holy chaos on whoever it is. The democratic party is not robust enough to handle any of that at all.

And apparently completely unfair, so I retract my defense of him at this point. I think I thought he was a jerk before anyway, I don't remember why. I do have issues with the way the thing he's responding to is framed but Whatever at this point. Apologies for blowing up your mentions.

What I worry about is conflating some jerky or uninformed online accounts with "the left" really broadly and then blaming all the bad results of things on them.
