I made a joke about Lindsey Buckingham on Twitter several years ago and found out that there was a tiny army of people who had dedicated their online lives to searching out and defending his honor at the slightest provocation.
in my case, I joked that Welsh is "a language consisting entirely of consonants" and had a guy show up to post a thread on why I should be ashamed of myself
Got truthered by some really committed and bizarre Chris Isaak fans on Twitter years ago when I tweeted about accidentally shouldering him at the Bottom of the Hill in SF.
But don’t you know there are absolute rankings of pieces of art?
Personal opinion doesn’t count at all. Neither do the circumstances a person was in when first encountering a piece of art or music. That would be way too human.
As Ricky Gervais once noted, it’s like seeing a flyer offering guitar lessons and tearing off the phone number just so you can call them and angrily say “I don’t want any fucking guitar lessons!”
That is a pretty low-spice Peter Gabriel take. That of his 20+ albums, at least two are better than "So"? I guess whateverdotcom REALLY likes Laurie Anderson collabs.
I wish you had time to make an alt where you share all your same mid music/movie opinions but everybody thinks it's a white dude 🤔. But if I were you I'd just spend that time with my kids 🙂
When the Green New Deal was a thing I asked what the plan was to offset all the construction carbon for high speed rail and how demand would be constrained for net reduction and got death threats.
Wanting to destroy me for thinking Solsbury Hill was under appreciated actually makes more sense.🤷♂️
And here I was, just coming to the app to see what everyone was supposed to be insanely mad about and who to be mad at- and the answer is right here, I guess?
Welcome to Bsky Fight Club. I guess. This whole place seems to be mad at everything and everyone. always. Sigh.
the level of insane responses you get compared to your personal level of thoughtfulness is incomprehensible. gotta be the most ridiculous ratio of any public figure I can think of.
