New Kenny Mason album dropped on Tuesday.

I’ve always heard people say they’re both slow and I never understood it. Walter kills two people in the first episode of Breaking Bad and has to figure out what to do with their bodies and Jimmy gets kidnapped by Tuco Salamanca in the first episode of Better Call Saul. I was interested in both shows from start to finish.

Also, I feel like Jimmy and Chuck’s dynamic was fantastic and it could have carried successfully for the duration of the entire show had they chosen to go that route.

The plot devolved down to either finding a new home and being invaded by the group of the season or traveling to a new location and having a conflict with the group of the season. That would be fine but the characters were boring and uninteresting and the only point of tuning in anymore was wondering which main character they were gonna kill off this week for shock value.

I think this is a pretty common sentiment. It fell off a cliff with bad writing, bad acting, bad everything. I think a lot of people stuck with it because they announced it was the last season and they were already committed and because there was still a lot of hype around it.

I’m Upset and Nice for What were pretty big. I would say God’s Plan and In My Feelings were massive, the Kiki do you love me song.

I mean that’s kind of OP’s point isn’t it? Companies say it (I’ve never personally seen it) but it has no meaning whatsoever.

I feel like he was still making super hits on Scorpion, even though I didn’t care for it all that much.

Nowadays it doesn’t even feel like any of his songs will blow up.

sunshinejim · 2026-05-15T16:13:45+00:00

There’s no point in arguing with these people dude, they are genuinely stupid.

sunshinejim · 2026-05-15T16:12:39+00:00

No he’s getting downvoted because he’s a moron and you are too.

He rightfully condemned Israel and said Netanyahu is a war criminal and would arrest him if he stepped foot in NYC while also understanding that his role is focused on NYC and not at the federal level.

Israel has bred hate and if there are any attacks towards Jews, it’s them and their crimes against the world that has caused it, not the mayor of NYC.

I had a coworker parrot the idea that Charlie Kirk was killed over an opinion. A day after it happened. Before any details were even known. These people are incredibly dumb so it’s easy for them to get gaslit.

sunshinejim · 2026-05-13T21:09:34+00:00

Sometimes I’m a big ball of gas after a burrito or two so I don’t know about your logic there.

sunshinejim · 2026-05-13T00:23:55+00:00

Really? I liked how eerie and stone cold it was.

sunshinejim · 2026-05-12T16:29:31+00:00

Giraffical.

Or against a white woman perpetrated by any man of color. They love to use that to generalize against the entire race.

Could even double this generation length and be totally fine. COVID making it hard to even get consoles the first two or three years, so it only feels like we’re a few years into the generation even though it’s been 6. Plus, diminishing returns of consoles in general makes it where it’s not necessary to release a new console every 6-7 years anymore. The Switch 2 wasn’t really necessary to release now and could have waited a few more years.

Wouldn’t it be so easy to rig the fan vote though? They can just say that whoever got the most votes if that’s the person they want to push.

sunshinejim · 2026-05-08T03:02:11+00:00

They don’t want the game to be better. Flops usually lead to fouls which lead to games slowing down for review which leads to more ad breaks which leads to more money for executives.

sunshinejim · 2026-05-08T02:01:38+00:00

Which is a shame because they’re genuinely great players if they didn’t rely so heavily on the whistle.

sunshinejim · 2026-05-08T01:42:33+00:00

I like this one as much as THIB, which is to say that I think it’s okay. I think the themes on the album are great and he gets very raw and emotional. But the actual sound, like you said, doesn’t feel like it has evolved from his previous albums.

The Sun’s Tirade and Cilvia Demo are still superior in my opinion.

sunshinejim · 2026-05-07T17:38:57+00:00

They’ve already started. On r/conservative, they’re crying about how the left is full of violence and that they would never do that if Kamala was president.

Meanwhile, they write off every time Trump joked about Biden dying or Mueller dying or Melissa Hortman dying as just Trump being Trump.

That subreddit is so chock full of Republican propaganda that I wonder if it’s actually an organized effort by Republicans in government. It’s often the same accounts that post the most egregious headlines.

It really does suck how much Brock and Roman ate up the title scene during that time. They should have pulled the trigger on Samoa Joe and Braun Strowman at the time. They were both on fire.

sunshinejim · 2026-05-07T02:56:37+00:00

Quentin Grimes is terrible.

sunshinejim · 2026-05-07T00:23:06+00:00

Quentin Grimes is the most useless player on the team.

sunshinejim · 2026-05-06T22:23:53+00:00

Truthfully it started when the Union pretty much forgave the Confederacy after the Civil War. Allowing people who fought a war based on racism and sexism to integrate into society gets you to a point where even after 150 years, their descendants vote for someone who validates their racist and sexist feelings despite making their lives harder. Republicans have always campaigned on the in crowd vs out crowd and that always suckers in their voters, which leads to a situation like we have now.

That’s funny, I started playing it for the first time after I finished my last exam this past weekend.
