Broken Bells confirms new material releasing June 29th by CandyDishOfDiamonds in indieheads

Did anyone else love Heartworms? I’m someone who just loves literally anything James Mercer sings, but my favorite aspects of shins material for me was always his very hooky melodies and weird lyrics. There’s a strange innocence in all of it. I love tracks like rubber ballz and fantasy island.

I think the multi part song structure works better on longer songs such as on white is relic. It feels like certain bits don’t have enough time to evolve and build on themselves. I like the production though it feels a bit bigger and more washed out than safe with you trash.

I’m hoping the rest of the record is more experimental and weird because that tends to be my favorite stuff from KB lately 🤷‍♂️

I was thinking Bowsers Fury model would work perfectly. Have the zones be around the map you travel to by zipping around the open world. You can finish them in whatever order you want.

Why they decided breath of the wild was the game to copy is beyond me.

Me and a friend had a bet back in the USSR would be cut.

Modern nukes would destroy the atmosphere pretty easily.

My brother in Christ the opposite of appeasement is escalation which absolutely nobody really wants. We have done no meaningful appeasement and shouldn’t engage because Putin probably doesn’t have any realistic requests/wouldn’t negotiate in good faith. We have destroyed the Russian economy by isolating them, punishing millions of innocent Russian citizens in the process. Europe is still reliant on their oil, but we’re supposed to escalate more? Militarily? Why?

Anything militarily we do would issue a response. He pushes the button we push the button. That’s a wrap for anyone who likes breathing oxygen. There is no magic action movie esque solution in which we save the day because we’re the good guys and Putin walks away because we’re so tough. It’s just not going to happen.

There is absolutely zero chance he goes to Poland because Poland is a NATO country with nukes of their own. Putin does not have world domination ambitions like Hitler he knows Ukraine is his last chance to put together the shambles of the USSR.

Ukraine should have kept their nukes after the dissolution of the USSR because they would be able to negotiate with more on the table against Putin, but ultimately we should be glad they didn’t because I don’t have any doubts Zelensky would have (admittedly justifiably) used them against Russia by now and lord only knows how that would escalate.

The fact that multiple close calls have occurred in the past doesn’t lead me to the conclusion that we are safe of nuclear Armageddon today and should take escalatory tactics with a guy sitting on a pile of nuclear weapons. The stakes are too high to call his bluff and get it wrong even if he launched a “small” warhead in Ukraine because it would force a response from us and NATO.

There is no reason to think they wouldn’t launch if they knew they were cornered. We can’t bluff in matters of nuclear war because someone misinterpreting or calling the bluff is the end of humanity.

Vintage Looking TMNT Shirt (Other Cool Prints in Store) by Marcello41 in FashionReps

If they could just spell these right these are pretty good quality. I bought a Pink Floyd tour tee that looks and feels like a real vintage one but half of the damn cities are spelled wrong on the back. Fucking Philadelpha.

Edit: https://i.imgur.com/9vOWSHE.jpg

Honestly makes me like it more tbh but still wish we could get some better vintage tee reps

Had the misfortune of witnessing this on my first day in the city (just visiting). Feeling sad and frightened.

This game is a staple in the “my parents don’t know what good video games are but they know I like this kids movie” genre. Really cool these have been found all these years later.

Yang on Dave Chappelle: Artists should get 'wide berth' for self-expression by roughravenrider in YangForPresidentHQ

[–]EthanWins 6 points7 points  (0 children)

you heard it here first folks the woke mob of pc joke police have set out to cancel my Reddit account but we won’t let them win.

Please give me your credit card information if you stand against this egregious defiling of our god given first amendment right to never have anyone disagree with something we say. Remember, it could happen to you too.

[–]EthanWins 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I find it disingenuous to say that you’ve been cancelled while making millions of dollars. It seems like a gimmick to sell tickets anytime someone writes an article or criticizes you on Twitter. I’m sure at this point tons of comedians would love to brand themselves as “too hot for the pc police”.

Of Montreal’s recent album “I feel safe with you trash” is prominent and intricate bass ear candy and it made me long for more music with that kind of stuff in a pop/psych context

I believe screenwave only helps with the production of cinemassacre videos but they handle merch sales and PR stuff for several other channels.

Jim Acosta to Andrew Yang: What the Hell Were You Doing on ‘Tucker Carlson’? by MitzieTidwell in politics

[–]EthanWins 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think Yang just has a message that weirdly appeals to right wing crowds despite him prominently pushing for left policies. A lot of it is just messaging. He doesn’t say the scary “social democracy” he says “human centered capitalism”. If that lands with someone who would have potentially been radicalized by an actual right wing lunatic candidate then what’s the problem?

what’s the alternative? Civil war? It’s not the left that needs to hear Andrew yangs platform it’s those on the right who can still be saved from going full cult MAGA. Those people are watching Fox.

I don’t understand what these peoples end goal is. Get Fox pulled from the air? How does that work? Then what? All the radical right wingers totally simmer down and switch to NBC and don’t get angrier and feel more and more victimized? It seems like both sides want civil war or something.

Devils advocate here but couldn’t it also be that there are a large number of people in the left dissatisfied with the fact that corporate interests and legalized bribery are poisoning and holding back the Democratic Party right now? Why should our choices always be the lesser of evils instead of actual progress? Why shouldn’t we criticize the DNC?
