    Fire's still active but forward progress has been stopped. Some houses were burned, no injuries reported. This fire was potentially very dangerous. Thank you Cal Fire, Oakland FD, and everyone who pitched in!

    Some criminal acts you can at least try to understand, but killing and torturing innocent animals is just sick in the head. Glad they were caught and if there are more involved, I hope they're caught too.

  • Music Monday - what have you been listening to?
  • MelonYellow MelonYellow 7d ago 100%

    The entire Dinosaur Jr. discography! I'd describe them as lo-fi Gen X indie slacker rock with catchy poppy melodies and imaginative guitar hero solos. They've got hardcore roots, so you get some of that with their earlier albums. Great lyrics, never too cliché. One of the few bands I've listened to that's still churning out consistently good albums while maintaining pretty much the same sound through the years.

    Raiders Steelers went about as expected. Rooted for AOC cuz he's such a likeable guy but he's not the answer. I just started laughing after the fumble at the goal line, you can't make that shit up. RIP this season, I've made my peace with it lol. Bring on the tank! 🏴‍☠️

  • Do any of you get addicted to bad moods? What do you think causes that?
  • MelonYellow MelonYellow 2w ago 100%

    Similarly, I wanna know what's the deal with liking sad movies or sad songs! Also I like the horror genre too -obviously being scared is a negative emotion, but it's like chasing the next high. I just have this appreciation when various art forms are able to arouse these big types of emotions. It's much better than blandness, which is boring.

    I think people just crave feeling alive, and maybe that's what feeling sad does for some of us?

    Btw you might like this Weezer song. It's a little juvenile in that Weezer way, but the lyrics talk about exactly this! It's called "All My Favorite Songs" (are slow and sad lol): https://youtu.be/AGPdXYG1msg

    Gearing up for Halloween season and really enjoying the creepy vibes wherever they may crop up, including picking out some indie horror games to play. This looks great (and no jump scares are nice hehe). Thanks for the spooky content! :D

    P.S. Small detail, but I like how the wall bends at the bottom in the last screenshot.

  • The crushed bodies of a Central and South American insect, called the Cochineal, produces a natural red dye. They are used for textiles, food-coloring, and cosmetics. Next time you see an ingredients list that includes carmine, cochineal extract or natural red 4, it comes from these bugs.

    Tonight's show in Boston. Apparently Perry Farrell was wasted and kept messing up the vocals, everyone was pissed but tried to work through it, then Perry flips out on Dave Navarro and had to get wrestled down. They're on a reunion tour with the original members for the first time in 14 years, but they might just be done after this.

    Pure Americana. Just a dude who loved off-roading obsessed with putting bigger and bigger tires on his truck. Named it Bigfoot. Drove over a couple of cars and taped it for fun. Fast forward to [BIGFOOT performing at the Pontiac Silverdome](https://youtu.be/O1i5OB4GaQA) in 1983 in 72,000 people and flashing cameras. History was made.
