Here's a wonderfully angry pro-choice song by Chumbawamba from 85 or so... @Pungent

@Pungent The remix from the Stigmata soundtrack is also REALLY good!

(I run a Chumbawamba fan discord, as if you had any desire to know my obsession with that band lol)

Having depression, bipolar disorder, or any mental illness does NOT make one go on racist and anti-Semitic rants.

Millions of us have a mental illness and we don’t say and do the things Kanye West does. We’re mentally ill; he’s just an asshole.

I'm taking up "You can fuck me all you want, but that doesn't make it your birthday" as my new retort to people trying to get me to work more than my pay warrants...

@ThrasherPrime I had someone add me on Snapchat thinking I was the prior person, they know now that I'm not them, but the lady still sends me pics of her dog.

Based off all the political spam texts I've been getting, the person who owned this phone number before me (I've had this for almost a decade now) was named Jordan.

@sw00p If you ever find the DVD-A for Santana's Abraxas in surround sound, get it simply to hear how BAD it is! The guitar is the lowest thing in the mix, and it's just the worst thing I've ever heard.

@sw00p Audio production is my hobby... So I love a well-made remaster. I've heard some stinkers (Chicago's first album was HORRIBLY remastered), so I'm happy when it impresses me.
Hell, even All Things Must Pass remastered has loads of hiss in it, and they removed a lot of the horns where they're needed the most... Questionable decisions.

@sw00p Also, were you the one I spoke with about the remaster of Moist's Silver album? If not, it's brilliantly remixed and remastered. Like hearing a whole new album... I hope they do the same for Creature soon.

@sw00p Phantom Power is one of my favorite albums by The Hip. RIP Gord.

@Qweencara Everytime I hear this song, once it gets down to the verse, I start singing "he's a complicated man, and no one understands him but his wo-man... Shaft!"

Also, fun fact, the female vocalist was my mother's childhood babysitter!

I guess with Drump logic, I should just rob a bank and then petition to be allowed to keep some of it, claiming it's now mine.

An expert on Ukrainian history, authoritarianism and fascism explains why he thinks Putin using a nuclear weapon is unlikely.

@haggardmom75 In Ghost Colours is one of my favorite albums ever. Any time I put it on, I have to listen front to back.

Czech petition on annexing Kaliningrad from Russia signed by thousands

"As Russia showed us in Crimea and is now showing us in the east of Ukraine, it is perfectly fine to step onto the territory of a foreign state"

@voltronic Thinking of it like a huge chat room has really (to me) made the whole idea seem even more friendly and fun. Just a bunch of people all enjoying it all, and finding sympathetic ears when needed.

@voltronic Well put!!! I've personally been reminded of the old fast-scrolling web chat rooms from the late 90s in my time here... Sure, you miss some stuff, but you can pop in and out and see what people are talking about at any given time, scroll back and see some of what you missed.
Except here, you can create sub-streams based on keywords to further narrow down the chat.

Woah, buncha new people! *GIR voice* HI NEW PEOPLE!!!

@MeTheUnfiltered I use an app on Android called Tusky for my CoSo reading and sharing. I keep the main app installed just in case, but Tusky is configurable the way I want and shows as an option when I want to share links etc. It also isn't auto-refreshing the feed, I can pull down to refresh, the way I'm used to...
I lose a few little features I don't use much, but they're there in the main app when I need them.

I just read antivaxxers’ shit takes referred to as “necropolitical opinions” and I just wanted to pass that along.
