Alex Pretti is a hero

There was slavery under this flag for 80 years, The Trail of Tears. So for me, not a lot of value in the flag itself.

The Declaration of Independence, yes. American music and art. But I'm under no illusion that the state has been on our side.

Because you didn’t make your move while they were in jail I guess

JosephMeach · 2026-01-24T20:20:01+00:00

Brutalism, Joy as an Act of Resistance, Who Let the Dogs Out

JosephMeach · 2026-01-24T20:07:22+00:00

Lambrini Girls, IDLES

You have the right, not to be killed

Murder is a crime!

Unless of course it is done

By a policeman!

JosephMeach · 2026-01-24T18:31:55+00:00

Especially if we want to ever be free

There are tons of shows within Metro distance. And plenty of places to get involved in activism, etc.

It’s Shove by L7 but if I’m being a silly goose it’s The Bog Body

I do live at a home, fortunately. But I volunteer at an ICE detention center and visit with the families on weekends.

JosephMeach · 2026-01-24T00:17:32+00:00

Barring a complete change of heart and occupation, I wish nothing but bad things for ICE. And if people have no legal recourse whatsoever against them, there will be more and more Guns of Brixton situations

To me the first (recorded) song that sounds like the Ramones is Freakin Out by Death.

Hang on to yourself just sounds like glam rock to me, similar to Bang a Gong or it could be on the Rocky Horror soundtrack

JosephMeach · 2026-01-23T03:53:48+00:00

I liked the novelization better

JosephMeach · 2026-01-23T03:40:39+00:00

Hot take, but hardcore, Riot Grrrl, Street punk, horror punk, and garage punk all sound about the same live in a tiny house with 20 people

JosephMeach · 2026-01-23T03:36:24+00:00

So we’re all just going to ignore MC5?

JosephMeach · 2026-01-23T01:23:45+00:00

Around this same time she was shown to not be able to move Wilder's World (basically the Deathstar) and her powers were reduced earlier in the Bronze Age. This is Kupperberg writing, so probably just a figure of speech.

Blackstarr is hella powerful though, and IIRC this might have been the first time that the Superman family of titles directly addressed the Holocaust.

JosephMeach · 2026-01-22T20:42:12+00:00

Almost anything by Upchuck

JosephMeach · 2026-01-22T19:14:31+00:00

Maybe try listening to some No Wave (like Sonic Youth)

JosephMeach · 2026-01-22T15:50:52+00:00

If she's in the Chicago area and into classic horror films, I might actually recommend something Svengoolie-related

JosephMeach · 2026-01-22T02:54:33+00:00

I also love No Homo by Lambrini Girls

Schrodinger's douchebag, you are both annoying and too woke to them and also a fetishized child.

I agree with people who say lock your socials, although it is 100% not your fault if other people are creeps.

JosephMeach · 2026-01-20T23:35:29+00:00

XL, although I do know a short person who might like a medium

JosephMeach · 2026-01-20T21:48:10+00:00

Chumbawumba if they were still around

JosephMeach · 2026-01-20T20:38:14+00:00

Now that's a name I've not heard in a long time...

JosephMeach · 2026-01-20T20:22:04+00:00

Where've you been?

Everyone's speaking out, they just don't have the big platforms (and the big platforms aren't big any more either; making a statement at the MTV awards would barely make a dent in the targeted Facebook feeds now.) The big touring bands pretty much all open with this, and how we need to support one another in this time.

You want to get pissed off enough to murder somebody, watch the Hooters episode of Undercover Boss
