Because he altered with the Epstein files, or because he fucked kids?

He should start with removing the right of prime ministers to not be beaten like a piñata for behaviour like this

Somehow exactly the same as his portraiture, while being completely different

His new tune with Verb T and Farma G is a banger

“Obtaining” feels like it’s massively downplaying the ingenuity of their engineers. It might be a technology they’re copying , but it’s still a huge technical challenge

Imagine having to explain that. “I have-a created my masterpiece. Issa very good, very holy, you’ll-a like eet!” “Fantastico! What’s it of?” “Well…”

Edit:- I don’t know why Cano has been voiced as Mario, but here we are

Spooky, I had Mastodon playing in my head as I scrolled down to this.

There was a festival that got flooded out years back, called Sunrise, and after people that had been stuck in the field started getting sick it became apparent that the farmer had been dumping human manure in the field along with other unsavoury things like chicken waste (like pulped chicken, not chicken shit). That didn’t do anyone any good at all

Mac software suggestions (sh.itjust.works)
 

So, I’ve been trying to find a specific bit of Mac software for a while, and keep coming up blank (any site suggestions?). It’s a pretty common program, and I can find no end of the most recent windows versions, but if there is any for Mac they’re about 10 generations behind, and hardly seeded. I’ve trawled the megathread, to no avail. Any suggestions on where to look?

Barbarian Hermit - The Battle of Kompromat (2025) (open.spotify.com)
 

As is often the case with me, I don’t know what you’d really call this, but there are definite big fat sludgy doomy characteristics in there. This album is one of my favourites recently, and one of the ones I listen to in its entirety.

Gain staging question (sh.itjust.works)
 

So I have a weird thing going on with my pedal board. First, my signal chain - Guitar into Bogner Harlow (light compression, always on) -> 4 channel switcher -> TC Mimiq (splits signal)

SW Ch 1 - TC Nether sub octaver SW Ch 2 - DOD Carcosa fuzz SW Ch 3 -Digitech Bad Monkey SW Ch 4 - Joyo Ultimate Drive (OCD clone)

Mimiq L out -> modded Jet City 22w head -> passive attenuator -> old Laney 2x12” cab (dark as all hell, sounds awesome)

Mimiq R out -> reverb/delay/trem -> Laney Cub 10” 15w input (hemp cone, different valves, again sounds awesome, cleans up well)

I’ve spent a while balancing everything, getting the gains to all play nicely, except… the Ultimate Drive for some reason is really quiet through the Jet City. The Carcosa fuzz sounds brutal through both amps, but really drives the Jet City hard. I switch to the UD, and the volume of the Laney stays pretty high, but the Jet City shuts right up. I’ve fiddled every way I can think of, to no avail. The UD is a loud pedal, with huge amounts of volume and gain on tap, but it’s just not doing much for the JC amp. Any ideas?

I’m very much looking forward to going to this again, past years have been jaw-dropping

Beast - Stormbringer (open.spotify.com)
 

Fuck knows if this counts as thrash, heavy metal, or death, but whatever it is, it absolutely rocks.

Truth be told, the vocals are a bit heavier than I generally lean towards, but the riffs are top notch. Anyone have any suggestions that sound like this, but with a bit more singing thrown in?

Their own kind of nonsense they call Doom-Wap, they make a quite pleasing racket. One of my favourite newly-discovered bands of late

Site for workshop/technical manuals? (sh.itjust.works)
 

Looking for a few workshop manuals, is there anywhere that generally has a good selection?

Recommend me a simple hub (sh.itjust.works)
 

Hey all. I’ve been looking for a small, basic USB-C hub with pass through power. Like literally just 4 USB-C ports, a short cable and a USB-C power in. No extra nonsense, just a minimal way to connect an SSD, a monitor, and power to my deck, and charge a peripheral if necessary. It seems unreasonably hard to find! Any suggestions?
