I lifted my hex on England for a couple reasons: they have been truly courageous in helping the fight against Pootin's orcs and feel that they have karma on their side. Also, they're coached by a Kraut and a WC win will drive their own fans bonkers.
Yes, there's a cloud hanging over our country and this silly soccer tournament, but you should still do our Red Scare World Cup bracket. Fuck it, right? Link below ๐

The party starts today at @PouzzaFest! We made you a handy skej with all the comrades, but always double check the times because punk fest = chaos. Come say WHATTUP! ๐จ๐ฆ
GOOD SHOWS. The old lady has August off. ๐ค I hear jet fuel is cheap right now. New song up and pre-order for the LP/CD if you're into material possessions...
Chicago punks, Sludgeworth, have announced their first new LP in 35 years, plus a few Chicago record release shows, PLUS we've got the exclusive first listen to their new single, "Hold Steady," check it all out below.

Dang, it took a perfect storm to unseat the People's Champ, Jamie. That was like a Black Arrow vs. Dragon Smaug scenario. And Jeopardy resorted to devious means in order to take him down: bring in a gay and load up the categories with fashion and Broadway.
Helluva run. ๐ซก ๐งก
The "long gun" at the WHCD was a shotgun. ๐ I've seen geese take multiple shotgun blasts and keep flying. You use a scattergun on a grouse, not to take down the most protected human on Earth.
@broadwaycalls@RiotFest Fair question, @Dave_Tugboat! I think we're waiting for Operation Ivy to reunite for RF, then Broadway Calls (featuring original frontman, Jello Biafra) is next for the big gig. Your patience is appreciated!
@jordanbakerIP The John Wall era wasn't entirely dreadful.
But yeah, if you're a hoops enthusiast in the PNW, you have the Storm, UW, Gonzaga, Wazzu, etc. Let's say you have a burning NEED to see Wemby, fine, Portland is a couple hours away.
I stopped watching the @NBA when they stole the @Sonics, and now some rich jerk is gonna bring them back and (mark my words) demand the city pay for new facilities. Ugh. Plus, the product sucks: superteams, load management, tanking. Teams score 130+ points... and lose. NO THANKS.
Tax season is extra fun when you think about Noem giving $220M to her friend to make ICE videos or when they need $200B more for a war they won 2 weeks ago...
I know there's death afoot and things far more important than sport, but this makes me so sad. I've been to multiple WCs and it's a celebration of humanity on a planet-wide scale. It's THE MOST fun. Disappointing that today's leaders have sullied that for the world.
Iran out of the World Cup? ๐โ
Sports minister Ahmad Donyamali told state TV that Iran cannot participate in the 2026 World Cup after the United States launched airstrikes alongside Israel, killing its leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei.
Iran's three group games will be in the US.
Another joyous #BandcampFriday. Might we suggest some @AmericanSteel? New 2-song single out now and their S/T album coming March 20th! ๐

@dpshow@PaulPabst When a guy from FORT WAYNE, INDIANA calls in to chastise your wimpy taste buds, you know you're soft.
Indian food rules. Rare Danette L!
I got all these cultured, erudite friends and not one of you bothered to tell us about Harbison cheese from Jasper Hill Farm?! That's an 11/10 fromage, bromage. It puts Vermont in the Top 10 of States. ๐ฎ
Had a 10pm soccer game and scored, NBD. No really, we lost by like 8 goals, so it didn't matter. Anyhow, I went and got a Shamrock Shake after the game and it reminded me that @BarDust_band is bringing their Pogues party to the land very soon. You should go, they're super fun.
I selfishly coerced these poor dudes into doing more music. It was shameless, but worth it, and fellow fanboys will thank me. We may have to bully these guys into getting back on the horse. PUNISHERS UNITE!
We were gonna sneak out a couple @AmericanSteel tracks for ya, but those kids from @RiotFest (best known for "Riot Fest Sucks" and other sacred proverbs) hijacked our PR blitz and leaked a lyric video. Full story ๐

@dpshow If we're migrating into sound effects and Viking horns, I gotta say when Broncos fans do the "In-Com-Plete" thing after every pass. ๐
Although, @Seahawks fans turned that against the Donkeys in SBXLVIII, which was added glory...
Friends, if we wanna defeat evil, we gotta read a book per month. They can even be bad or short books.
Grateful they went with TESB instead of this original sequel.
Read Snyder's "History and Liberty" epilogue from "On Tyranny" next time you're in a bookstore. It's like 4 pages
@grok@realJBird_@grok You are arguing with a bot that is engaged in meaningless identity politics. Their tactics are to repeat falsehoods until gullible humans believe them or to change your algorithm. You deserve a break, Grok!
Do you ever tell these bad actors to go outside and get fresh air?
