Earth is all we've got, and anyone who tells you otherwise is deluded.

This is some of the ACTUAL, non-sexy, important space work that Musk's hot air obfuscates. Alongside geomagnetic weather, these are fields whose advances we take for granted, but are beyond critical. Mars is dead. We have to take care of what we have here.

We're at a point where there are no cheap options to retreat to and no price points that guarantee quality. Every run-down studio is $1400, every fast food meal is $17, every luxury condo has peel-n-stick tiles, every $300 pair of boots falls apart. Endless expensive mediocrity.

Look what happens when you report out claims instead of resorting to conspiracist takes about how β€œthey” want to stop your man. I’m no Mills supporter. I don’t think Platner is a Nazi. I think he’s a troll. & I think like that other troll, Newsom, he’s a breaking point for any possible coalition.

NHers bizarre "better-than-thou" attitude towards the rest of new england is baffling. You'd think our boastful licence plate would shame us when we still can't even buy weed here lol

Man it's like. I can't communicate how soul-piercingly furious? Upset? Frustrated? I am that the one thing I actually feel is achievable in my lifetime since I was a kid even is moving on from fossil fuels, and that the dumbest, weakest, most selfish evil motherfuckers on earth just KEEP DOING THIS.

surely russia has no national interest in $150 barrel oil

Even since I was a kid, I'd hear about those cultures that ritualistically killed their leaders and thought they had something figured out.

It's so hard to find anything that scratches that exact grunge itch with a female vocalist, so this one gets a lot of plays from me. 🧡

Ok just sticking with singles for a bit.
Frankly, I only discovered this one recently. Thought it'd have been from the 80s. Would you believe me it only came out this year?🧡

And once you find yourself bopping to that song, you can go and check out the ANIMATED MUSIC MOVIE for that entire album. Cementing my argument that Simpson is a better bridge from rock into country than Cash.🧡

Sing Along
Sing Along YouTube video by Sturgill Simpson - Topic

This one's a bit of a cheater bc Sturgill Simpson technically did have one song break into mainstream radio for like. A single week. But that song fucking rules and deserves a permanent spot in every rock station as far as I'm concerned

When's the Last Time?

I hope they never stop playing this one at their concerts: the buildup starting a little over halfway into the song crescendoing into the lung-punching heavy transition at 2:30 is a divine experience live.🧡

"Ivy" is my ideal emo song: melodic, wistful, angry, gritty, poetic. And easy to sing along to in the car.🧡

Starting with @stayinsidebk.bsky.social 's heart wrenching and delightful "A Backyard". Honestly their entire discography is well worth a listen: spanning most flavors of the early 2000s indie/emo scene.🧡

Gonna start a music recommendation thread because I believe in aggressively sharing stuff you like that you'll never get to hear on either of your two rural radio stations that aren't Christian radio. 🧡

There's definitely contemporary music more in line with the hits leading up to the millennium, but you're just rarely gonna find any of it on top 40. :(

Probably also helps that "80s, 90s, and Today!" Has been the same catalogue of music for 20 years, only adding a new Green Day and The Killers song every once in a while 🀣

Time to End the American-Israeli Alliance Alliances are built on shared interests. Those do not exist here.

Pick your foreign relations school of thought: hard-nosed realpolitik, liberal internationalism, socialist humanitarianism, or straight up brute selfishness; this β€œalliance” makes no sense. buff.ly/YM8c1Ly

There's this funny thing going on in re: to graphic design nowadays where I notice the less elements and the more basic they are on a webpage the more I enjoy/trust it. Example sacred-texts.com/bud/bear.htm (also a fun read as is) vs literally any news page article.

Man this shit like. Doesn't even blip anymore. How the hell do we get back to a place where this warrants serious consequences?

If you can provide $3k checks for the entire middle class of America by taxing 900 people a little more, not only should you do it, but you should take it as a signal that your monetary system is broken

Our apartment complex sent out the usual "get ready to move ur cars out of the lots by 10AM for the plows" and by the time they got to our building it was basically all gone lol
