Amazing you could take Hetfield’s tirade against politics and make it political.

[Aɴᴛ @AntSpeaks]

Metallica frontman James Hetfield took a swipe at artists who use their concerts to lecture audiences about politics during the band's Las Vegas residency.

In what could easily be seen as a dig at the likes of Macklemore, Hetfield told the crowd:

"Unless you live in Vegas, you've come a long way to spend some time with Metallica. We're grateful for that. Your travels, the money you spend, the time it took, thanks for coming to celebrate with us.

And I just gotta say, Metallica is not here, like some other entertainers, to influence you with their bullshit. We are here to forget about all the outside shit. Metallica's agenda is love, energy and heavy music, baby!"

Hetfield has rarely spoken openly about his politics, but past interviews suggest he holds many conservative values.

On Joe Rogan's podcast in 2016, he explained how he'd moved his family away from the San Francisco Bay Area, having grown tired of what he saw as its political intolerance and elitism.

As a Metallica fan, this is incredibly based! 🤘

EIX is presumed prudent so long as they have a safety certificate. The state knew these issues but still provided them a cert. If there’s willful disregard, it’s on the state for issuing the cert despite deficiencies. Wouldn’t be the first time that’s happened.

MW is short $EIX. We reveal new information that shows why we conclude EIX acted with conscious / willful disregard in causing the Eaton Fire. At minimum, Edison should be liable for $4B; we think it should be ~$20B. Edison failed to fix its fire model, which it knew for 5 years couldn’t account for high winds (video & report links follow)

If you tell your employer you’re a lawyer, you’re dishonest if you haven’t passed the bar. Trump clearly thought she was an attorney and did a double take when she said she passed the bar in China (which was also a lie).

[Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald]

I really don't think there's much wrong with calling yourself a "lawyer" if, as is true of Katie Zacharia, she graduated law school and then worked in a law firm (even if she failed the Bar).

I always thought the same of the attacks on El-Sayed for calling himself a "physician" when he has an MD (and a PhD in Public Health). Neither are technically perfect but they're not materially misleading.

[VelvetVibes 💌 @VelvetVibes8]

Yeah but is Putin as nice, strong and smart as the Iranians?

[Republicans against Trump @RpsAgainstTrump]

JD Vance: I have never actually met Putin. I have talked to him on the phone a number of times. You know, it’s interesting, he’s more soft-spoken than you’d necessarily expect.

The American media has a particular image of him. He’s soft spoken, in a certain way. He’s very deliberate. He’s very careful. And I think, fundamentally, he’s a person who looks out for the interests as he sees it of Russia. (2025)

Is there such a thing as Artificial Stupidity?

Hear me out. I'm increasingly thinking that @KamalaHarris is an AI bot created to troll us. No human being could be remotely this imbecilic.

Recently started going to a corporate gym for the first time in a long time. Almost everyone there gives away the eccentric phase to gravity.

[Dean Turner @DeanTTraining]

90+% of gym goers looks like they’re about to fall asleep when they’re doing their sets

This is especially true when they’re doing lifts that aren’t big compounds

This is of course a KEY REASON why 90+% of gym goers ALWAYS LOOK THE EXACT SAME EVERY YEAR

Low effort = NO RESULTS

Catholic Priest Dies After Cross Bearing Jesus Christ’s Statue Falls on His Head in Ecuador!

The horrifying moment unfolded in front of worshippers and was captured LIVE on stream.

Despite efforts to save him, he died from his injuries.

His last words were:
“Dear brothers and sisters, one day all of us who are here are going to die… Sometimes the time we have spent on other things doesn’t make as much sense as the time we spend with God. That quality time we give to God, to our brothers and sisters, to our family, is the time best spent.” https://t.co/Gd44i5HX6z…
