Agree for sure. If you haven't seen it already, I shared a live idles set from KEXP in elsewhere in the comments on this thread that's pretty solid.

Because someone mentioned their live performances: This full KEXP set starts with Colossus and goes (and goes and goes) from there. They have multiple live performances on here, as do quite a few other bands worth seeing.

"I’m glad to be out, but this is an inconvenience, really. It’s not really deterring me from speaking out or I guess, clapping,” Lux Claridge said.

I cannot imagine being this level-headed about being arrested for clapping. Insane.

Utah exists for a reason. The Christian death cult and all its fucked-ed up spin-offs have always been like this.

What the fuck even is this article

I can't think of a better example of disconnect between source material and output. Just... What happened? It's like it was written by a focus group.

I'll second this, especially if you've read and enjoyed most of his other work (his horror novels especially have a lot of interconnecting themes that pop up and converge in fun ways).

You won't regret it.

I keep trying to give it a chance and don't understand what the fuck happened, but I feel so bad for Jodi Whitaker and Ncuti Gatwa. The writing is so awful it's like they don't even get to play the same part.

It's been recommended to me by multiple people as absolutely incredible, and halfway into the first season it's just kind of okay.

I wouldn't say I hate it, but I'm wondering if it gets better or if I'm just not getting why people like it.

Hilarious take. Biden's campaign was over the second he stumbled onto that debate stage. They might as well have started writing the autopsy then

Just finished "Death of the Author" by Nnedi Okorafor and enjoyed it immensely; I've been recommending it to everyone. It's a good blend of Afro-futurism, literary fiction, and sci-fi.

Now on "Helm" by Sarah Hall, and while I'm only partially through it, the writing is absolutely stellar.

For lighter fare, I particularly enjoyed "The Tainted Cup" and Drop of Corruption" by Robert Jackson Bennett.

Right, because Russia doesn't target civilian targets at all🤣
