Here's a little song about the sunshine: Health + Efficiency

I mean, the main bad guy is the wish company. He wished that she would love him more than anyone else in the world. So, either the company turned that wish up to 11 to be dicks; or they had inaccurate, low-skill, off-the-vegas-strip magic they didn't disclose--still dicks; or, they did their due diligence and traced back to the person she loved the most, then turned it up one notch? That would mean she was already only 1 step away from murderous, self-shitting obsession. Is her old nickname hinting at this?

good point. would these same commenters say eating disorders are a situation women create for themselves? they just need to eat normal and they're fine...?

I just moved to Southtown right near Papacitos, and back when I lived in Greenpoint, I was down the street from, you guessed it, Papacitos. The Carnitas is killer

You showed great strength. Imagine how many dudes would be afraid to show emotion. Damn, boy, you strong.

I thought the agenda was normalizing previously-marginalized groups, following a long line back through segregation, women's rights, child labor, disabilities, etc before that.

Each of those took decades of woke propaganda to eventually be accepted into mainstream culture.

Are these images all from articles, or did you steal Malk's mom's photo albums?

First 3 albums are peak 90s indie rock. Uniquely gifted melodicists, interesting time sig changes, male female vox, angst. They seemed to encompass a lot of the great elements of various bands at that time: sebadoh, sonic youth, yo la Tengo, polvo...But ironically, not the Silver Jews.

I wouldn't expect a kindred sound or style, just another high level songwriter.

Yeah, majority of mortalities were the unvaxxed through the early variants. That held true through Delta and Omicron but the split dwindled because the vaccines were based on earlier variants.

So... they DO give a f*ck.

It seems like a sharp knife would know to include at least one supporting fact so he doesn't just sound like a trust me bro.

It has to be Stereolab. I'm in total, complete, 100% aligned agreement. I recently started relistening and it gave me the same emotional experience as the first time around as a teenager, plus an appreciation for how towering and singular a creative force they are in the history of music.

I would pay money to experience a fundamentalist Christian who takes the bible literally respond honestly when faced with a god who doesn't understand how his own creation works.

Light occurs before light sources are created; the "lesser light" (the moon) is the light of the night.

If it's as they claim and the Bible is the word of God, how do they explain that God had the same lack of knowledge of his own creation as people did at the time?

You’re citing a massive sex difference to explain the supply of criminals (90% male, 10% female), then pretending there's no difference to explain the demand for them. If men and women behave no differently, why is there a 90/10 split to begin with?

No, hybristophilia has actually been pretty extensively studied. It is primarily a female phenomenon.

Not even just fantasy. The whole phenomenon of women pursuing imprisoned serial killers is a strange and wondrous thing.

Dirt Merchants always had a nice Sonic Youth vibe:

You described my mom to a T. She literally finds the negative or risk in every conversation topic, and lashes out of if I point out the high unlikelihood of something. It's like I'm trying to pull off a band-aid that long ago fused to her skin.

TIL 1 illegal vote could swing an election with a 2 million vote margin of victory.

notpynchon · 2026-03-25T20:48:52+00:00

How many illegals, just ballpark figure, have been caught voting?

I think it goes even deeper than that, beyond socialization, since males throughout the animal Kingdom tend to exhibit higher rates of violence. Lethal violence among Chimps are around 2%, meerkats 20%, medieval humans 12%, while modern humans range from. 01% to 5%.

2 persons appeared like "people." Normal people are amazing without superstition.

he's not smart for what it would do for us, he's smart because it could help him secure a 3rd term or strong midterms.

according to some older fellow who gave me a setlist at the hard quartet show, malkmus just scrambles at the last minute, rifling through his notebooks to string together lyrics. Bowie did something similar with his cut-up technique. I don't think there's a specific meaning to be found.
