This shit is wild. You’d figure the capitalists would have a sense of self-preservation and not let things get this bad.

Once a month ideally, I’ve had to cut back a bit recently because of rising costs. I also always try to pick up a shirt or something to support the band.

Glad to see some actually heartening news. I desperately hope at least some people look at this, and realize that treating prisoners like actual citizens and human beings is a basic necessity, and not a privilege they should have to earn.

You can pretty much pick up Summoning from any album, they started out metal-focused with their earlier releases like Minas Morgul, so those might not match the “chill” vibe. That said, everything after Dol Guldur starts to lean all the way into Dungeon Synth. Personally, I think the best album to start with is probably Let Mortal Heroes Sing Your Fame, I’ve always felt it was the moment they perfected their sound.

The lowest hanging fruit for recommending here is probably Summoning, that’s about as close to a band who’s entire concept is “Chill Mordor Ambiance”. Alternatively, anything in the Atmospheric-Black Metal to Dungeon Synth pipeline, Ornatorpet, Paysage D’Hiver, or Old Sorcery. You might not find the screechy vocals to your taste, but it has unmatched Atmosphere.

Hah same, real shame too because these games have been a treat so far.

Some of the best hockey I’ve seen all year.

In contrast US is acting asleep at the wheel for the third so far. One goal isn’t much of a lead fellas.

USA starting this period extremely strong.

Comedy gold, except for everyone who has to try and shop at a Walgreens.

Proof of the value of looking beyond the most base layer of news. You’ll make it easy to be fed a narrative that fits the elites worldview.

The real action is offline. Maybe it’s time to go there.

A lot of people, myself included, REALLY need to pay attention to that line. I think there is real value in online discourse, honestly, but it should come after helping people in a visible and noticeable way. People notice who offers a helping hand and who has nothing to say but scolding remarks, and that cuts both left and right.
