another thing about arizona: what’s with all the arcade games? they’re in every bar and even in the rental my gf’s family booked

how you know “psy-op” has become a meaningless designation

Tweet from the Pope: “When simulation becomes the norm, it weakens the human capacity for discernment. As a result, our social bonds close in upon themselves, forming self-referential circuits that no longer expose us to reality. We thus come to live within bubbles, impermeable to one another. Feeling threatened by anyone who is different, we grow unaccustomed to encounter and dialogue. In this way, polarization, conflict, fear and violence spread. What is at stake is not merely the risk of error, but a transformation in our very relationship with truth.” Reply to the Pope: “@grok, translate for the laymen”

lol

the good things in the area are unabashedly arizonan: fry bread, sonoran dogs, the scenery

but the constant onslaught of chicago stuff is all empty references and none of the culture!

in the phoenix valley until thursday and it always strikes me how they just tried to make a second chicago in arizona. the first thing i see getting off the plane is garrett’s popcorn. there’s even a peoria and an avondale here too

Man, shoutout @peteranspach.bsky.social with the St. Pauli jersey on the Goose stream tonight

I think they should add "getting mad at a headline before reading the article" into the DSM

bro, i've been saying they're a psy-op for years!

not the most convincing spam email i've ever gotten

whenever a microblogging social media site fails, it's a great time to read newsletters. why not one about indie rock run by a 34-year-old dude in chicago www.noexpectations.fyi

I think it's funny

Daffodil-11, Daffodil-11

My New Band Believe, My New Band Believe

National Photo Committee, Red Hot Photo Committee

Spoils, Mile Wide Inch Deep

Another Thursday, another No Expectations. This Thursday's newsletter recs LPs by Daffodil-11, My New Band Believe, National Photo Committee, and Spoils. www.noexpectations.fyi/p/my-new-ban...

Incredible

was that on the livestream?!?

Unionizing the Chaotic Good bot army to only boost No Expectations-approved artists

Retaliatory strikes fired in the Your Ocean War

it took me so long to figure out why that was happening

hell yeah, such a blast on that podcast—one of the best in the biz. my experience here would be so much better if it were 30K eggy fans following me

wait why

newsletter subscribers however...that's more like it

while i think it's a nice gesture for this website to suggest folks follow me if they say they "like music" when they sign up for an account, in no universe should i have ~35K followers on a social media platform

It turns out the NBA play-in tournament is awesome if the Chicago Bulls aren't in it

Realizing now that my best friend from college looks exactly like Donovan Clingan (just if the Portland Trailblazers center were 5'10). He's a Phoenix Suns fan, so I'm only going to tell him this if his team wins

People forget that Amazon Prime has broadcast some of the greatest moments in NBA history.

not the best time for prime video to experience technical difficulties during the play-in game

what's really annoying about this Geese discourse is that it didn't happen to a Chaotic Good client whose music i can't stand, like Mk.gee

do you have good politics? if so, it's probably because you listened to so much bon jovi bsky.app/profile/bill...

This is exactly what I'd post if I wanted a plurality of Bluesky users to send me death threats. Amazing quote tweets here. Shouts to Bill
