  • Are we not already subject to massive tracking databases anyway?

  • Loops.video had almost 4,000 loops in the first 3 weeks
  • And they're all TikTok reposts?

  • New Opeth and the use of harsh vocals
  • Yeah, totally agreed.

  • New Opeth and the use of harsh vocals
  • The lack of growls for the last however many albums just felt like they weren't using all the tools available to them. I was excited to hear harsh vocals again, though I'm still sort of over the 70s prog sound.

  • Former NHL player Paul Bissonnette hospitalized after assault by several men at Arizona restaurant
  • Gotta have some balls to attack Bissonnette. Dude is a monster. The article didn't say how many of the attackers he managed to hospitalize but I imagine they didn't come out unscathed.

  • Trump transition aide Boris Epshteyn sparking internal strife over appointments
  • There are so many things in the Trumpiverse that can't really be parodied because they're too stupid. Just off the top of my head, Four Seasons Total Landscaping, Fraud Guarantee, Sean Spicer's hatred of Dippin' Dots, covfefe, etc.

  • Owl of the Year Bracket
  • Absolute muppets! Hoping to see them in the finals against flammy.

  • Owl of the Year Bracket
  • I'm really rooting (hooting?) for my boys, burrowing and flammulated, this year.

  • Neat layered singing
  • It's sad but that's the standard of what people are used to hearing these days.

  • Neat layered singing
  • You don't need software. This is definitely autotuned, but she is a good singer. One thing to listen for is that the pitch is so perfect it almost sounds like a synthesizer. You can't fake the timbre of the voice though, which is why I say she's a good singer.

  • With Trump back, Israeli settlers revive goal of full control of West Bank
  • Yay, no more genocide! I knew both sides were the same.

  • Claims in 'Duty to Warn' Letter to Harris Alleging Compromised Election Are Misleading, But Still Alarming
  • So the assertion is that Republicans inserted a bunch of fake votes but only for president? Why would they not just make it down ballot?

  • Percentage of Each State Taken Up by Corn Fields
  • Every state would be a red state without the major cities.

  • Let's discuss: Opeth - The Last Will and Testament
  • Thoughts after one playthrough in the car:

    Akerfeldt growled again! Rejoice! I've been waiting for them to mix in a little more metal with the prog sound, and there's moments of it which sounds pretty cool. Overall my initial thoughts are that the album is fairly good but lacks some of the repetitiveness and groove that made mid-career Opeth some of my favorite music. I usually dislike any album the first time I hear it though, so it's a good sign that I thought this one was decent.

  • Let's discuss: Opeth - The Last Will and Testament
  • I haven't listened to it yet, and I've liked their albums less and less since the Heritage shift, so I don't have high expectations for this one. But I'll give it a run and check back in.

  • How are Americans supposed to survive the next 30 years?
  • I've owned a house for a long time, but the issue is paying their current rent/bills while also saving enough for a down payment.

  • Pantheon Season 1 is Coming to Netflix Tomorrow
  • Cool, that looks interesting, and I'll need something else to make my Netflix sub worthwhile after finishing Arcane.

  • TIL about all the extremely funny noises the rock hyrax makes.
  • Rock hyrax, so hot right now. They've been my favorite animal since I found out about their existence a few months ago, just such an odd little creature.
