Got this mandala/flower on my elbow by Tom Flanagan the other day. So happy with how it came out!!!

I'd imagine it brings them to life.

I haven't even heard the first single yet. Holding out for my vinyl, this is going to be something really special.

My God, man. You have more willpower than the folks over at /r/nofap

Here's some photos of the Gost Splatter.

Do people really think that things like roads, schools, and security can only be provided by our all powerful and all knowing federal government? It's not true. Federal income tax hasn't been around forever, only the last 100 or so years. It is not required for you to have good schools or safe roads. That is a myth. The power of the federal government and the 1% is a myth. You, the people, have the real power. Don't ever forget it.

Taxation is totally theft. You are smart not to pay them. A lot of rich people don't pay taxes and a lot of poor people don't pay taxes. It's mostly the middle class that picks up the slack. It's not fair but that is the system that has been set up. Set up by the government, mind you. Tax breaks for businesses and corporations would actually do really good. I'm not talking about huge fortune 500 companies that don't pay any taxes to begin with, but small and medium sized companies of which there are many. These are the people that provide the high paying jobs everyone is wanting. What does the government spend your tax dollars on? Do you really think that the government should be running hospitals and healthcare? That is a joke. Look at the VA. Private schools already exist and are so much better than public schools. If you want more hard evidence look no further than the USPS. That is something we all should agree is awful. The USPS is totally unique in that it is a government run business that is supposed to get funding through revenue, just like any other typical business. The USPS, however, is subject to strict government regulations and oversight. Therefore it should be no surprise that it has the worst and least reliable service and loses hundreds of millions of dollars each year. Do you feel good that your hard earned money goes to fund that money losing behemoth? Don't trust the government and don't trust the media. The media is supposed to be a thorn in the side of politicians. Instead, they are buddies who craft interviews, messages, and can easily shift public opinion. Have you ever heard the saying, if you say something enough times eventually it will become true? Beware. I'm super cereal.

Going to see Texas Chainsaw Massacre at a drive-in tonight on 35mm. So stoked.

It's that time of the year! October is right around the corner, so we should get the list started now. This year we're going to go down from 30 movies to 13 since a lot of people were falling off midway through the list. If you want to submit a movie just PM me your suggestion! Please try and avoid repeats from the previous years, you can find those lists in the old thread - http://tinyurl.com/gngnz47 10/18 - Trick R Treat (@KingTacoMunster) 10/19 - Southbound ( @Shitty Rambo) 10/20 - The Shining ( @chkadea) 10/21 - Hush (2016)( @marc32137) 10/22 - Night of the Demons ( @museummouth) 10/23 - It Follows ( @Peateargriffin) 10/24 - Housebound ( @themeconspiracy) 10/25 - Feast ( @themeconspiracy) 10/26 - Suck ( @themeconspiracy) 10/27 - Frontier(s) ( @themeconspiracy) 10/28 -Deathgasm ( @themeconspiracy) 10/29 - 13 Sins ( @themeconspiracy) 10/30 - Thirteen Ghosts ( @Shitty Rambo) *if anyone else wants to get on this double+ suggestions will be swapped out*

Today we did Adams Family Values. Now I'm watching Curse of Chucky (it's bad) and when my girlfriend gets home after midnight we're doing Beetlejuice. Tomorrow we start the ghost portion of the month.

Since my last post, I've watched Creep, The Barrens, and Night of the Demons 09. I am now ending my day with All The Boys Love Mandy Lane.

Clear w/black smoke, opaque silver/grey, and black w/white splatter.

I'm holding off, too. Excited to hear it when the day comes.

So I just finished it and thought the ending fell a little flat. Overall I enjoyed it, but it was my least favorite of the Netflix/Marvel series.

I didn't say anything about criminals not paying taxes. For real? You can legally get out of paying taxes. Politicians didn't destroy the middle class. Don't give them that much credit for doing anything. Manufacturing jobs left the county for cheap labor overseas and our economy shifted and became heavily reliant on providing services rather than producing goods. The middle class was totally dependent on manufacturing jobs and other types of skilled labor that actually paid livable wages. Now the middle class is forced to work shit jobs for shit pay which in turn negatively impacts lower income people. All the while paying 40 percent of their paycheck to federal fuck me in the ass taxes.

Same. So far I've heard reference to "from parts unknown" And "last night in town".

Privitization is literally the worst fucking idea and could never actually work.

Getting some really cool Mae - Destination Beautiful / Into It. Over It. - Twelve Towns vibes from this on top of the very specific and classic AF sound. Possibly the best 'come-back' album I've ever heard. Very rad.

Seeing as the new pressing isn't out for a month, I'd be shocked if it's the Sony Legacy pressing. It has to be MOV.

It's the state that gives the extremely wealthy tax breaks, they don't just opt out of paying as much as they exploit loopholes that aren't options for the average joe American taxpayer (I.E. forced to pay with prison being the only other option). I don't have a problem with tax breaks, as long as EVERYONE can get them when/if they need them. I'm still very much of the camp that says fuck paying taxes completely- privatize the police force, education system, and health care so it doesn't suck so bad/isn't so expensive.

Been to a few gigs recently where the band stops at 10pm due to curfew laws as they are in built up areas. Still at 41 I am not too fussed.

It's not and the shrinking middle class gets hit the hardest BECAUSE OF PIECES OF SHIT LIKE TRUMP Under his tax plan him and his family will receive billions in tax cuts. He's not a candidate of the people. He is a candidate of the person, himself.

Wasn't uh...Nickelback the Nickelback of the 90s?

Okay so Ill Wind is amazing.

It's claims like this that bother me so much. Yeah, organized religion can be pretty terrible. but not everyone who is involved with it is a fascist, or even a bad person.

Trump tax leak reminder: You pay as much as you do in taxes so that people like Trump don't have to

This video reminded me how much I like Sure and Certain (Also that all white JA-90 is so hard)

I can sleep pretty soundly being bigoted against racism, misogony, and fascism.

Got my clear Union Chapel record in the mail yesterday, it is a beautiful live record as far as sound and performance, really nice pressing too, dead quiet and the silk screened/letter pressed jacket is gorgeous. It's my favorite of his live records that I've heard so far, for being so heavy on AFP songs and also being solo acoustic the performances are surprisingly (or maybe not surprisingly) vibrant and can stand alone from that record as a pretty unique listening experience. Just thought I'd add my two cents since I had a hard time finding any reviews of this record online and I had been hesitant. Maybe I'm also biased because AFP is my favorite of his records. Anyway, it's a great record and will be on heavy rotation in the coming weeks.

Real Bigotry - noun - intolerance toward those who are intolerant of those who hold different opinions from themselves. where are the emails thank you ~ rds

The more I listen to this album, the more it grows on me. I mean, I liked it my first play through, but it grows with each listen. The subject matter / lyrics open up a lot once I spent some time with them, and started to break down really what was being said. It's an interesting Insomniac / Nimrod paced record with the subject matter of more so American Idiot (minus the story), while having that more matured vocal tone. Hearing some of the new songs live also helped me appreciate this album more. They played 'Bang Bang' faster, and god damn did it kill live. Even the song I didn't like (Still Breathing) was fantastic live. Whenever I manage to see Green Day live they remind me why they always will be one of my favorite bands. They have so much fucking energy; it's insane. But yeah, definitely their best album in the last 10 years. Don't know how to compare it to American Idiot yet since I haven't had that much time with it, AI being my most listened to of the last 5 albums, and that being an opera, but we'll see. I'm looking forward to hearing how this album ages. "Fuck you, I'm from Oakland!"

You actually generalized an even larger group of people based on the actions of a small portion of that group... You're by by definition a bigot, dude. Bigotry - noun - intolerance toward those who hold different opinions from oneself.

It's a half a notch batch from Key, but > INO (and 95% of the musical universe). If they had done Versus and then Key, the trajectory would be more obviously upward I think. The Auto Rock mention is interesting, as I didn't get that at all - next listen, which I look forward to, I'm going to keep this in mind. Matt, you've got Green Day in your head, which will take at least 30 days before you can properly listen to pg.lost again!

Again, if infidelity is an indicator of bad character, then buddy... Also couldn't find any evidence of a sextape (the existence of which shouldn't really have any bearing on one's character, as I don't personally find anything immoral about filming yourself having sex or doing it in the butt), but Snopes did a thing about it (although I know Snopes is a disgusting failing site that does nasty research and uses unfair facts). The murder accomplice thing is certainly something. It sounds like an intensely personal situation she found herself involved with (from Politifact, sources cited are behind paywalls): If you're going to use the Trump yardstick, she's innocent, as all charges were dropped, and no charges were even filed about threatening the judge. Overall, I'd trust her character enough to believe her when she says a serial misogynist and racist was misogynistic and racist toward her. I do believe this is an example of what the kids are calling "fragile masculinity"

If you don't want to bother with PMs, your google skills suck, or you're just feeling lazy, I have a link to 320 in my signature's wantlist.

Your parents would probably like to see you more often.

Saw that dandelion hands on Facebook yesterday. Classic! Gonna try to grab before it sells out.

Cool collection mate

EMPSTEAD, N.Y. (The Borowitz Report)—Plunging the future of the 2016 Presidential debates into doubt, Donald J. Trump said on Tuesday morning that he would not participate in the remaining two debates if Hillary Clinton is there. Trump blasted the format of Monday night’s debate by claiming that the presence of Clinton was “specifically designed” to distract him from delivering his message to the American people. “Every time I said something, she would say something back,” he said. “It was rigged.” He also lambasted the “underhanded tactics” his opponent used during the debate. “She kept on bringing up things I said or did,” he added. “She is a very nasty person.” Turning to CNN, Trump criticized the network’s use of a split screen showing both him and Clinton throughout the telecast. “It should have been just me,” he said. “That way people could have seen how really good my temperament is.”

Blink twice if our evil overlords are forcing you to do anything against your will.

Starting a chest piece on Monday with Greggletron! Excited to post some pics on here soon.

finally seeing Julien Baker tonight

I'm Jake, a 35 year old Michigander by location, but a NE Ohio guy at heart. I work in the craft beer industry and have for some time. I collect comic books, mostly in trade format these days though due to space. My wife and I purchased a house in December and are still in the process of making it home. We're also huge movie fans and see 4-5 movies a month, usually at Alamo Drafthouse in Kalamazoo. We'll see almost any live show we can, especially comedians. https://www.discogs.com/user/murdercityriot trade list - updating it more and more as time allows.

Wait, what's the second one?

In today's news of the weird, I am actually in that cover photo (on the far right in the checkered shirt). The photo is from Jeff's wedding last year.
