I've magically stumbled into the world of the Professional Club DJ and kinda like it. Long suffering Minnesota Vikings fan (since '88). Former comic book reviewer, now in exile within a prison of his own longboxes.

I mean, the timing...

Labour likely to take a total drubbing in today’s election & it’s fully deserved. The lesson I fear they’ll fail to learn is: You cannot win on anti-migrant hatred. The right wing press will never tell their voters you have done enough. And meanwhile, of course, you lose all the rest of us #r4today

I’ve found it’s more visually appealing to just paste in his head at the inflection points

"I hate <1% of the population so much that I can no longer see beauty in rainbows" is a hell of a thing to admit to unprompted

I mean it's never been the same since they made the jumps easier...

Songs that just ARE Sunny day songs for some reason, a non -comprehensive and occasional list: 1. Cake - 'Short Skirt, Long Jacket' (It's got to be the bouncy base and horns) (reposted and corrected for improper adjective order 😆)

ok, for no reason but just because I think it's neat here's a thread of famous people with old gaming hardware or old computers. big 90s and Y2K vibes. Let's start with Shakira, Halle Berry and Bjork using a desktop computer

Have never been able to get into Counter Strike as an eSport but jeeeez this IEM final between Falcons and Vitality has been thoroughly gripping. Double overtime after a 6 round lead in the final match is a crazy turn of events.

Fascism is a lot of things, but at heart it's the political application of being a dumb asshole

Clickbait journalism really is just the fucking worst. Why the hell is this the headline of the piece? I mean, at that point, why is it even an article?? We really are in the midst of an age of carelessness and stupidity.

Why are world leaders never pictured leaning casually up against a huge marble pillar in the corner, clearly discussing nation-shaping events? It's always in an deeply uncomfortable scene that no two other people would ever naturally create.

This moment when the penny drops that trying to implement bathroom bans is an impossibility for the former Tory Chief Secretary Simon Clarke is delicious.

"AI is coming, its inevitable" no its not you sniveling weirdo. how are those 3D TVs going. how are NFT markets looking these days. Seen anything cool in the metaverse lately? anyone who says we need to resign to using it, that itll be here whether we like it or not, is a feckless dipshit.

Begin 24 hours of Gen X/Millenial/Gen Z 'seen' memes when just everyone has kinda stopped going out post-Pandemic and because of inflation...

unfollowing everyone on linkedin except this guy

AI has absolutely changed my life. It means my RSI is slightly worse as I have to mouse scroll past the AI Overview to get to the results.

Hahaha, you just know that Musk thinks that stepping away from DOGE in a public way will suffice and turn Tesla's fortunes around, but it really does feel like he's cursed that company to a decade of underperformance.

Be kinda interested to hear more on just how the IMF came up with their suggestion that US inflation will remain static at 3% this year and won't increase after the US government made a huge swathe of produce coming across their borders more expensive...

Once again, I was left to wonder: was Pete Hegseth signal chatting military attack plans to everyone but me?? Am I the one that’s insecure, or is it his communication practices that are insecure?

remember if you see kier starmer pissing then you must demand he shows you his dick and balls. the law is clear.

Can categorically say I won't be voting for Labour again in any UK election. Backwards-looking, Tory-lite decision making at nearly every turn at a time when better, unifying and inclusive leadership was necessary. Literally spelling their own demise. Lib Dems and Greens fully have my attention now.

Well that's phenomenal...

if elected pope i will legalize weed

It just gets stupider and stupider over there...

Here comes the next week of me constantly thinking about pizza for lunch/dinner because I'm seeing the word 'piazza' written so much.

On a separate note, I always seem to have a complete mental block when it comes to 'Rendez-vu' by Basement Jaxx. Always hear it, go 'oh yeah, what a banger', love the 3 minutes and then instantly, completely forget they've made it for another 4 years

Watching Basement Jaxx's set from Coachella last night and 'hype' person duties have kinda gone off the rails a bit in recent years. At one point someone shouts 'make some noise for Kira(?)' and all she's doing is waving her hands wildly, kinda dancing.

oh fuck it’s time for the catholic olympics

We're looking into the new pope very strongly... And we're doing conclave. They're saying it's gonna be the best conclave of all time from the standpoint of pope. Amazing, beautiful, strong conclave. It's terrific, really.

Stephen did more prep for this than the entire Trump administration

Getting all emotional again 10 hours later rewatching the Los Angeles Philharmonic & Gustavo Dudamel set from Coachella last night and that supreme first violin performance of the Max Richter rework of Vivaldi's 'Spring 1'

Going to be a good few massive fuck ups from this and we'd better hear about them loudly when they do happen because you cannot draw a line this clearly and not expect terrible things to occur because humans do not all fit nicely into just two boxes by physical appearance. Idiotic turn of events.

All this money & energy spent to make life more miserable for trans people could've been used to fight against domestic violence, wage disparity, sexual harassment, harassment of people accessing abortion services, proper childcare provision; you know, to make the world a better place instead.

Was just checking out the listening stats for Prince for the past 365 days on last.fm and was kinda surprised to see that 'Soft and Wet' is the 13th most listened to song, ahead of 'Sign O' The Times', 'Controversy', 'U Got The Look' and 'Nothing Compares 2 U'. Might well be Greatest Hits influence

Decided to become a Katy Perry truther. That is not the same woman that went up, she's an inch taller and has more teeth.

The president told a Central American dictator to build five more massive slave labor camps to hold US citizens.

So... how sure are we that that's the actual Katy Perry that's returned to Earth? That looked like the kiss of a first time visitor... #doyoueverfeellikealabmadeclone

Got 3 minutes into the dubbed version of Shinichiro Watanabe's new anime series, 'Lazarus' and had to stop. Really don't think I can stomach English dubs anymore after pretty much exclusively watching subtitled anime for 20+ years

Can I make a suggestion for his wake without upsetting anyone

Off Menu’s changed since I last listened
