Haha, I wanna hang out with him


Yesterday I heard a nurse/carer in an oldfolks home earnestly saying “I have a lot of interactions with teenagers, they literally don’t care about anything” 🤦
Seems ageist myopia is not uncommon. Do people just completely forget their teenage years? I’m in my 40s and I know kids these days are more anxious, and facing wild times, but otherwise they’re basically the same as we were at that age.


The obvious solution is to just ban teenagers


Sounds like a legend


It’s all one big company store
^(OK, not all, but it’s hard to escape)^


Right, I think the point of it is: yes, maybe you were treated bad, and we can have sympathy for that, but still, being a Nazi is a choice, no one is making you choose that.


The sun ablaze as Maria’s foot touches the surface of sand
On northern land, as human contraband
Some rico from Jalisco passed her name to the Boss
She stuffed into a truckbed, she clutches her cross
Here comes the exhaust and it rips through her lungs
She’s off fast to the pasture, like cattle she’ll cross
Degree 106, sweat and vomit are thrown And she prays and suffocates upon the memories of home
Of Yanqui guns for blood, debts on the loans
Of smoldering fields, rape, rubble and bones
Of graves hidden, trapped up in visions of war
Of nothing, no one, nobody, no more
Hard to pick a RATM song, but Maria is one of my favourite lyrically. Also topical right now


Wish you were here is next level on that front


Unforgettable


Deine Gewalt ist nur ein stummer Schrei nach Liebe
Deine Springerstiefel sehnen sich nach Zärtlichkeit
Du hast nie gelernt, dich zu artikulieren
Und deine Eltern hatten niemals für dich Zeit
Oh-ho-ho, Arschloch!
I only lived in Germany for a bit, but this one stuck in my head pretty hard. Schrei nach Liebe by Die Ärzte


Manic Street Preachers are massively underrated. That’s a fucking killer song.
I’ve received two in the last year or so, but yeah, petty rare.


Via taxes, yeah. But also, $0 is a real cheap subscription fee.


It is reality in most developed countries…
Yeah… I guess it depends what happened to cause the reputational ruin though.
