I thought “blackout” meant don’t post irrelevant promotional shit for your music or art or, like, pictures of your cat. It shouldn’t mean stop posting info about protests and resources and instead flood important hashtags with black squares

When I learned about the holocaust as a child, I was taught that it was bad because genocide is bad. Turns out some people were taught that it was bad because the victims were the wrong people

Reminder that Rittenhouse is the FOURTH right wing terrorist to shoot somebody at a protest since these protests started in May—first in Oakland, then Albuquerque, then Austin, now Kenosha—but a large portion of the country believes the real violence is damage to private property

Sick of establishment liberals tweeting “this is why you need to vote in November.” They’re telling you your outrage can only be expressed by sitting politely for five months, then shuffling off to cast a vote for a guy who co-wrote the crime bill that helped get us to this point

Cheap clothing made by underpaid workers in other countries is much more symptomatic of the evils of late capitalism than expensive clothes for which somebody was paid well for their labor and expertise
AOC on the cover of Vanity Fair. The clothes are estimated to cost $14,000. So happy that AOC is upholding the long established hypocritical tradition of Socialists who believe Socialism is for poor while they enjoy the fruits of Capitalism.

Can’t wait for legendary gangster rapper Ice T’s forthcoming album “Nice To Meet You, Hungry, I’m Dad”
I was robbed at a gas station in NJ last night. After my hands stopped trembling..I managed to call the cops and they were quick to respond and calmed me down..... My money is gone.. the police asked me if I knew who did it..I said yes.. it was pump number 9…

So here's the deal with this—it's not really a sequel, but it is part 2. In the years following Splendor & Misery, we made too many horror songs. We were advised that a 2 hour long 4xLP release about monsters and murder and shit would be too overwhelming
