We are incredibly proud of the resistance for preserving and releasing this footage so the truth cannot be buried. Alex Pretti. A 37-year-old ICU nurse at the VA. Murdered by Trump’s regime. This is not okay. He spent his life helping people. He was an American hero.

My metal-hating wife sang along.
Infectious in this house.

I shamelessly love this.

You’re a better person than me. I bailed at halftime.

Okay, who slipped @forcedexposure.bsky.social a bit of trucker speed this morning?

The only Christmas countdown / Advent calendar that matters.

Meanwhile, we Gen X types are stoned, opening a second bottle of wine, and beginning to wonder when it’s appropriate to start doing the dishes?

Thanks for writing about the Eduardo Bort album. It’s a new one to me and is ticking all of the boxes. Wow.

Hunter S Thompson's death to be reviewed by Colorado investigators 20 years later Investigators will look at the writer's 2005 death, which was ruled a suicide, at the family's request despite no new evidence of foul play.

I’m a massive Hunter S Thompson fan and celebrate his “Fear and Loathing: On the Campaign Trail ‘72”. It’s my favorite.

I learned of Thompson’s death while leaving Dublin, Ireland in 2005.

I don’t understand why this is happening.

Monster Magnet’s records from 1993 - 1998 remain a guilty pleasure.

I remember first hearing “Twin Earth” on the Columbus, OH Z-Rock affiliate and losing my mind.

“First Impressions” is a great record.

This is a very good read about one of its creators.

Bob Seger and the Silver Bullet Band’s “Night Moves” or The Doors’ “L.A. Woman”.

I hope, after he dutifully shops himself around, he stays in Philadelphia.

I am disappointed.

Hoo ah. This one’s been on my want list for a while.

#BloodIncantation’s #MorrisKolontyrsky is about to release a record, “Origination”, in October. I absolutely love the inspiration his press photo draws from Göttsching’s “Inventions For Electric Guitar”.

That “neck to nuts” tie never ceases to disappoint.

I’ve arrived at the “wearing a knee brace because my right patellar tendon screams when I walk down stairs” phase of my late 40s.

July’s listening habits thanks to #AppleMusic and #AppleMusicReplay

2025’s releases remain strong this month, including Hell, Budos Band, and Planning For Burial.

And one final thought: Ozzy going out after giving an emotional final performance that raised a ton of money for charity is more spiritually uplifting and did more genuine good than anything any televangelist and religious grifter who railed against him ever did combined.

Be sad he’s gone. Be glad he was here.

Nothing disturbs me more than the glorification of stupidity.

It’s a great night for baseball.

Very fair observation. I didn’t think of it like that.
