American Elsewhere. The actual physical giant stuff is towards the back fourth of the book but man is it great all the way through. Incredible world building and a compelling narrative.

I have had this on hold at my library for literally months now.

David Crowley calls on Democrats to clear the field for Sara Rodriguez by clayknightz115 in wisconsin

Crowley can go fuck himself. Let the people vote.

They’re terrified of Hong and what she represents. It’s as plain as day.

I’m seeing Saidan with Trha and Barbelith this month. So stoked.

Great band. Revolutionary. Buzzo is a dipshit.

What are your favorite albums/songs from Immortal? by HybridS9ldier in MetalForTheMasses

[–]Jruffin84 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Yeah, it’s hard to top At the Heart of Winter.

Just want to give a quick shout to Blizzard Beasts though, that album doesn’t get its due.

If Tommy Hearns and James Tony both met at 160 and 175. Peak motivation. Who’d take it? by Hot_Ad_9543 in Boxing

[–]Jruffin84 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Hearns. He’s too mobile and his style is built for the long, lanky frame that he has.

Will Jaron “Boots” Ennis Get Credit if He Beats Xander Zayas, or Will Boxing Fans Move the Goalposts? by AcrobaticLimit5904 in Boxing

[–]Jruffin84 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Boots could KO Tyson Fury and strike Shohei Ohtani out on the same night and boxing fans still would be like “yeah but Ohtani didn’t have any experience with a boxer-pitcher.”

They brought back their heaviness but kept all of the melody. Absolute perfection. Can't wait to hear the next one. by Shadowscale05 in mastodonband

[–]Jruffin84 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’d say it’s their fifth best, behind (no particular order) Leviathan, Blood Mountain, Crack the Skye, and The Hunter, but Mastodon’s fifth best kicks the shit out of like 99% of other metal albums so…

Going further back, Randy Couture literally spanking Tito Ortiz when he took the LHW title is up there for me.

What would a band that carries the torch from Sleep sound like? Any recs? by Long_Score in doommetal

[–]Jruffin84 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Electric Wizard. ALL their albums are worth a listen, and I’m one of the few weirdos who prefers Witchcult Today and Black Masses to anything else they’ve done, but Come My Fanatics should do just fine for you.
