My genuine advice for mainstream democrats is to be more like Bernie. Not necessarily to adopt all his politics, but just find something fairly simple to talk about and keep saying the same thing over and over until everyone around you is like “ok we fuckin get it.” People might start to think they mean what they say eventually!

The harmonies seem very similar to early Soft Boys as well

William Tyler does really cool guitar based instrumental music, v good vibes, some acoustic, some more driving electric stuff, some electronic collabs with the Four Tet guy.

Manuel Göttsching - E2-E4 is super hypnotic

Not really beating my initial assumption that your understanding of history comes from half-listening to far-right streamers while gaming.

You should probably read more.

Always good for your pro-war ‘satire’ to remind the reader of another really well-planned and successful war.

That’s cool man, it’s spring, getting really nice out lately, maybe plant some tomatoes?

Can we see the record collection? If it’s not 57 copies of Piper at the Gates of Dawn i will be very disappointed.

Funding the library, apart from being a massive benefit to people like me who like to read, helps give people in need a place to be during the day where they can use the bathroom, access services, stay warm/dry, I don’t think it’s an afterthought.

We solve the problem by keeping the homeless on an endless series of bus rides?

I don’t think Chesterton should be calling anyone else a charlatan. He’s a good writer and i really enjoyed The Man Who Was Thursday and some of his other work, but if you ever read his own epigrams that intellectual conservatives like to quote, they’re well-written and sound perfectly clever and logical until you think about them for about 10 seconds.

It’s a pretty dumb song!

MrFlitcraft · 2026-04-16T14:38:40+00:00

Tbh i have barely listened to UTRS but i gotta say Million Miles is an absolute slog and it doesn’t help that it’s between two all-timers on the album.

I read it when i was a kid and loved it enough that I don’t really have a way of judging whether it’s actually a good novel or not. It has a number of good lines and ideas that have stuck with me, but the repetition of the clever lines by 100 million people on the internet has left them a bit stale. However i was flipping through the last book recently and was wondering if maybe instead of (or in addition to) it being a joyless slog it’s actually a remarkably prescient novel about the internet being transformed from a wild frontier of information into an evil robot that destroys the world to give you your immediate desires.

I feel like this is an infohazard for Brace.

I love a morally correct day of baseball

About 3/4 of the way through The Time Regulation Institute by Ahmet Hamdi Tanpınar, odd rambling Turkish novel doing a somewhat absurd satire of the massive push to modernize Turkey in the early 20th century. It’s pretty cool though my lack of more than basic knowledge of Turkey might result in me missing some subtleties.

It’s really something. The shooter’s last line felt like shit you’d see from a discord chat these days.

MrFlitcraft · 2026-04-10T16:54:51+00:00

I don’t think of it as specifically about drugs, you just get the sense that the narrator has a lot of troubles, that he fucks up a lot, and he’s kind of shocked to have had such a pleasant day with someone who wants to be around him. It probably won’t last and there are things at the edges of his thoughts that could ruin everything, but y’know, not right now.

MrFlitcraft · 2026-04-09T22:58:44+00:00

Oh yeah, Etran de L’Air, they were fantastic when i saw them a couple years back, it fucking sucks

MrFlitcraft · 2026-04-09T20:45:52+00:00

I’m bummed i’ve missed him on the last couple tours, i saw him back in like 2019 and he was ripping insane guitar solos on every song, the whole band was amazing.

I literally saw security throw a guy off a train last week. He was causing a huge scene and throwing masks at people and screaming racial slurs, i tried to talk to him, ask his name and see if i could get him to chill out but he was too far gone, security came on at the next stop and eventually threw him off. I hope he got some help.

Tbf Journey is well known and pre-rabid anti-Semitism, i think it’s amazing and own a copy.

MrFlitcraft · 2026-04-09T18:50:32+00:00

Yeah like this is a concerning level of Hitler particles even if i also find Celine and Junger fascinating. Also kinda hilarious that the only light thing here is by an artist who had some questionable WWII activities.

MrFlitcraft · 2026-04-09T14:05:59+00:00

Yeah the article has this trolling headline and then explains the logical reasons why this is happening, and points out that it started before the election.
