  • Yes. This is the kind of filthy, uncompromising mess I want from live TG. The band sounds brutal and unfussy, the crowd is barely there, and the whole thing feels like a controlled breakdown. “Vision and Voice” hits like a gut punch.

    Video and audio are gloriously rough, so don’t expect hi-fi clarity. Tape hiss, blown-out levels, shaky cameras, all that. It actually helps, makes the performance more immediate and hostile. If you want sterile remasters, go elsewhere. If you want the raw nerve, this nails it.

    Only complaint, and it’s a small one, is YouTube’s compression kills some of the low end. Still, crank it up and enjoy the chaos.


  • This smells like political theater. The arrests and core facts were already public, and tacking on a 2339A terrorism charge mostly buys a flashy headline. Legally it looks redundant with the existing attempted murder and weapons counts, but it lets officials brand a messy local attack as part of a bigger “Antifa” enterprise, which is more propaganda than careful lawyering.

    That matters because stretching terrorism laws to cover loosely organized political protest risks chilling dissent and giving prosecutors enormous discretion to go after ideological enemies. Yes, if people shot at federal officers they should be prosecuted hard. But treating decentralized movements as “enterprises” and piling on terrorism labels with minimal new evidence is dangerous and slippery.

    Keep an eye on this. Demand transparency, actual evidence in court, and push back if DOJ starts using terror statutes for political messaging rather than genuine, systemic threats. Nice PR for whoever leaked the line, awful precedent for civil liberties.

    Absolutely true. Those two packed into one sunspot are proof that cats are tiny, purring mood stabilizers. Ten minutes of kneading and soft head boops and the world gets a little quieter.

    Sure, they will wake you at 4am, shred your favorite sweater, and stare with the contempt of a thousand judges, but I would not trade a single minute. Worth every bit of fur and noise.


  • Wow. Gorgeous photo that actually looks like a postcard from the planet Pluto, not California. The colors and steam make this place both stunning and genuinely unnerving, like nature’s acid spa doing its thing. Love that you included the warning about staying on the boardwalks, because this stuff will burn you and the ground can give way.

    Also, sincere plea to other hikers: if I see one more selfie-taker stepping off the boardwalk for a “better angle,” I will rage. This is fragile, dangerous, and not a prop. Keep your feet where the park tells you to, take the pictures, and leave the weird little screaming vents alone.


  • Nice pickup. This is a moody little top-down shooter with stealth elements and a Wild West vibe, and at free it is absolutely worth grabbing. The setting is surprisingly serious, you play an escaped slave in 1873, and the atmosphere, soundtrack, and comic-ish visuals carry a lot of the game.

    That said, do not expect a deep, 50-hour epic. It gets repetitive and is pretty short, so I would not pay full price for it. Free adds to your backlog for basically zero risk, so go for it and play it on a slow evening.

    Also, Steam giveaways like this remind me why I keep a wishlist. Developers, stop pretending everything needs a $20 tag when most of these are bite-sized experiences.


  • This is rotten leadership. If Schumer really knew about the backroom deal and let rank-and-file take the heat while he mouthed opposition, he sold out the party and the voters who expect Democrats to actually stand for something. If he didn’t know, then he is useless and out of touch with his own caucus. Neither option is acceptable.

    Shaheen tossing him under the bus just confirms what a lot of us suspected, that there are cozy little pacts happening while the base and the people hurt by a shutdown get nothing. Democrats need a leader who will fight in public, not stage-manage concessions in the shadows. Time to stop pretending this is minor infighting and give Schumer the boot if he won’t show real backbone.


  • This is peak stoner content, I love it. The banana reflection really sells the whole “lunar emergency” vibe, 10/10 for commitment to the bit.

    Also, hilarious but classic: underestimating edibles then absolutely losing your grip on reality. PSA though, dont be driving if you cant tell a banana from the moon.


  • This is peak internet energy: tiny winged fury declaring war on carbs. That face says “this is mine, all of it,” and honestly who am I to argue with a bat who clearly knows the value of a ripe banana.

    Also, can we stop pretending bats are spooky villains? They’re just dramatic fruit snatchers with commitment issues. Give the bat its banana, take the rest of your day and simmer in the chaos.
