I’ve certainly enjoyed my share of Hüsker Dü over the years, but I never really knew much about their earlier hardcore years, and this box set has really helped educate me on how good they were from the start

A great thing about the Early Years box set is how much live material it contains, so you could see Floyd at their weirdo bluesy jam band peak before DSOTM locked them into ~concepts~ for the rest of the decade

well think about all the WWI veterans that reupped and got super jacked in the interim

This isn’t even a soldier thing, look at any pro athlete from 1940 compared to today. It’s why I give at least something of a pass to PED users - you think Babe Ruth wouldn’t have smeared some cream on his ass to add 20 feet to his long balls

It’s always a fool’s errand to ascribe any sort of self-awareness to the chuds in charge, but I do wonder how many of them realize nobody likes this shit except other chuds

that’s one of their long-running jokes; it’s also why when they do live shows they review local places

The funny thing about this administration is that nobody has been fired yet because Trump is so checked out and the pool of nominees is really smaller than you’d think, so everyone just sorta mills around like Torgo in Manos going “when are you gonna kill me, boss”

My theory, as someone who has done this before (but outside, not on a train or whatever), is that holding it to your ear can cause hangups or something weird to happen because you can't see what you're touching on your screen

Noem's going to offer her resignation in exchange for getting to keep her fuck plane, aka the Tryst Express

learning about her Tryst Express was a real high/lowlight of the year so far

I mean, that would require the Dems to actually keep their attention on something for ten seconds, but y'know

05.03.2026 17:35 👍 17 🔁 0 💬 0 📌 0

this is why the Dems should've kept the pedal to the metal on impeaching Noem, so they get the credit of getting rid of her when something like this happens and Trump tells the party to cut bait instead of Trump just firing her bsky.app/profile/fint...
