some doofus in a live-show Reddit post asking when the show starts when I always put the start time and a time-zone-conversion link in the text... AND on this post I put a note about the upcoming daylight saving time change. and yet, still the question of when it starts

Not sure we'll get through both sides as it gets late but husband required a Church #vinylsky #nowspinning

Can I sidebar? We are playing this shit way too loud and our setup is sounding magical. We're looking to move & I'll have to rebuild our sound field. I'm both excited and triggered lol

sneaking AEIOU into sets is both diabolical and something I will always support

I'm so happy we both know the pain but also the joy of spreading the pain

ahahahaha someone who knows what's up

I've been obsessed with the Ebn-Ozn track for years as you aren't wrong, it's off the charts batshit. I have the full album and it's so terrible.

Freeez hit #1 on the dance charts in july with IOU, Ebn-Ozn hit #20 on the dance charts in august with AEIOU Sometimes Y

...have there been ANY other songs about vowels? never mind charting within a month of each other lmao

I dug the 12" collection from 1980-1982 so much, but almost missed they released 1983-1984 last fall. Whew #vinylsky #nowspinning

if you look carefully you can see that 1/5 of her whiskers are black. and if I did a macro view you could see she actually has some half-and-half whiskers

this is the "smoke" pattern, where her fur is all white at the root but grows in with dilute mackerel tabby on the tips

anyway now that we've sent reddit admins over 100 account names hopefully they'll figure out what this scam is and shut it down

the most important takeaway for y'all is: the internet truly is just bots these days. you'd never know this was happening if you didn't see the pattern behind the scenes

this is 50+ accounts each with 1 comment, 1 sentence, posted on different threads, all on-topic. accounts are approximately 1 month old all blasting out within 10-15 minutes. our automod catches them but fills our mod queue for review

it's crazy how "good" they've gotten yet we still catch them

the most fun part of moderating a large subreddit are the bot attacks

there's a huge market for selling reddit accounts that have a decent amount of karma so that spammers can look "legit", and because our sub is so high-volume it's seen as a place to pick up easy karma

except no, lol

A reddit thread about Sarah Rowe retiring. If you don't know, she's all into boogaloo shit and 95% of the comments on the post were blasting her for that. In this specific thread, a commenter points out that the people pushing back on things like, oh, white supremacy and what-not, are the heroes we need. jervis cottonbelly (wrestler) aka kondron (r/squaredcircle co-founder, no longer on the mod team due to inactivity) responds that if you can push back at the shitheads without being a shithead yourself, then he will lift you up. I unleash all the guns on the planet that renee good did that and got murdered and reminded him that he's just fuckin salty that he had a previous "cancellation" because he stood up for a friend who spread anti-semitic conspiracy theories (brian kendrick - it was a whole thing. kendrick has since apologized for being a part of that conspiracy bullshit but kondron has focused on the abuse HE got). I called kondron out on maybe actually trying to be an agent of change instead of whining like a baby about how he got the appropriate social media response when he supported trashbags with all of his heart and soul. The fact that he has never said "I was wrong" but instead continues to respond as though others OWE HIM AN APOLOGY is all you need to know

So here's some IWC/rasslin drama

tired of "canceled" people who learned nothing and spend all of their time crying about cancelation instead of LEARNING AND CHANGING. Which they won't because they still think they did nothing wrong

Fuck off jervis cottonbelly

rule of thumb: any liquor/wine store that has an attached cheese/deli shop that sells sandwiches are going to serve you the most amazing sandwiches you'll ever eat

Wait no, not State/Orpheum in 2006. It was First Ave. Dark Tranquillity & DevilDriver opening

We just bought tix to see Dark Tranquillity at Varsity next month

Oh hell, I was going to buy tickets to that exact show and completely brain-farted it... I hadn't heard that happened though lol

I saw them at either State/Orpheum in 2006 and Mill City in 2014. I mostly remember Deliverance as the encore at the latter as I completely lost my shit lol

Wish they would've swung through the Twin Cities on their tour with Katatonia. I love them both

I don't have a ton to say because this is a husband record #vinylsky #nowspinning

All I know is that Frank Black fostered some amazing music but was also a colossal shithead. Do I need to know more than that really

After listening to Metallica cover their #NWOBHM influences, I had to spin the "inspiration" for Fade to Black #vinylsky #nowspinning

If you don't know the lore, seek out "Rainbow Warrior" by Bleak House

I love this jank-ass old metal so much
