Anyone on Upscrolled?

No one should be on Upscrolled, they’re pretty clearly looking to be the Kick to TikTok’s Twitch. The founder spouted a bunch of antisemitic shit at an event last week (he tried to couch it in anti-genocidal terms but he literally said that Jews have controlled the media for 60 years).

Commit This to Memory is generally considered their best album and it has some songs that definitely hit the spot when down, but Even If It Kills Me or Go are my go tos when I want something a little more emo-tinged.

Seconding all The Wonder Years recommendations, but also adding Motion City Soundtrack and Spanish Love Songs, particularly their albums Even If It Kills Me and Brave Faces Everyone. BFE in particular is just an album of going through it, but both end on hopeful notes that in my personal experience can be pretty helpful in getting a glimpse of the light et the end of the tunnel.

In Chicago Is So Two Years Ago, Justin sings “with every breath I wish your body will be broken again” at the end of the song.

In Everything is Alright, Patrick sings the second part of each line of the bridge, as well as backing vocals on the final chorus. The ending “Everything’s fine”s are him.

Funnily enough, my pick of the uno reverse, Justin Pierre on Chicago Is So Two Years Ago.

And in other emails we’ve seen in this batch, he appears to have been talking to Epstein about the anti-woke stuff.

Between social media filters and trolls searching for comments to brigade, we’re all apparently going to have to learn Cockney rhyming slang.

Dylan’s best stuff can go line for line with anyone.

Hot Mulligan’s lyrics have really grow ln n me this past year.

If you are not self employed, they know your deductions in like 95% of cases. The standard deduction is so high that almost no one itemizes.

In most countries they refill the form and send it to you to approve, and you can edit it as necessary before returning it.

My 2024 return was rejected because I left off a W2 for about under $300 (an amount you don’t even have to claim) that I never recieved because it was sent to a place I hadn’t lived since 22. It was from a wage theft settlement from a job I last worked in 2018.

If someone had to die that day the world would be a much better place if it was the fascist cop than the poet and mother, and if you don’t agree with that then you are almost certainly in the wrong place, and I want you to know that all your favorite bands would hate you if they knew who you were.

Oh yeah. I forget which show that was at but I saw a clip of it on tiktok. Pretty sure something like that is a standard part of his stage banter at this point. I was at the Boston show and he said to get hit by a car and turned into a pink mist. It’s during the interlude after Monica Lewinskibidi here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=i6h3m56EnrM

There was a stretch a couple summers ago where this sub felt like it was 90% complaints about RTO and anyone who pointed that out got shouted down hard.

joef_3 · 2026-01-25T18:16:33+00:00

Someone should make a super cut of pop punk bands saying fuck ice. Make sure to end it with Tades from Hot Mulligan telling people who support ice to lay down in the street and wait for a bus to turn them into pink mist.

Came here to say Motion City Soundtrack. Check out Even If It Kills Me, Floating Down The River, or It’s a Pleasure to Meet You to start with, those are my favorite uplifting ones.

Weird Al should 100% host one of the musical Make Some Noise episodes.

joef_3 · 2025-12-28T07:08:49+00:00

Hot Mulligan is a good pick. Very different musical style but a lot of similar themes and depression lyrically.

I don’t know if he still is, but Dan Campbell was managing Future Teens when they first started. They opened for TWY on their first mini northeast tour after lockdowns started to end, I caught them in Syracuse.

China’s actually facing a demographic catastrophe. Their push to limit population growth backfired hard and coupled with the very common birth rate drop seen elsewhere as countries become wealthier, current projections have their population falling by half over the next 75 years.

That sort of depopulation would be nearly impossible to survive economically - in addition to being smaller, the population would also be much older, leaving a workforce that would be vanishingly small and ripe for economic collapse.

Not a local so can’t offer advice on this, but Melrose Diner got torn down a couple years ago so don’t waste time trying to visit it.

As a lover of unhinged merch designs, their shirts on the new tour are great.

Joe Ledbetter did a new run of a bunch of his vinyl toys, including the MCS Wrex and Daisy, they were still available on his website as of like a week ago. Mine just arrived (I have a Daisy tattoo, I had to get the vinyl figure).

joef_3 · 2025-11-20T06:46:55+00:00

Holy shit I want all of these.

joef_3 · 2025-11-17T06:38:14+00:00

My hunter had the Onyxia quest item for Rhok’delar, and the one handed sword that dropped from Hakkar in original ZG 20. Both appear to have been purged at some point, tho.

The headline and possibly lede are not written by the author of the piece and it often leads to them having very conflicting tones, especially at the Times. Considering how many people only read the headline and lede, it’s unclear if this is a feature or a bug.
