  • Ok first of all an octopus and a squid are in different orders, (octopus all being in octopoda and squid being actually 2 separate orders now (huh TIL) called oegopsida and myopsida) - this is like calling a human a cat (humans are order primates, cats are order carnivora).

    That's before we even get onto the 14 "legs". Legs! Seriously Express, could your staff not even look on wikipedia for five minutes? The limbs of cephalopods are called 'arms', with the 2 specialized limbs with club ends that squid have being tentacles, none of them have 'legs' of any kind, and squid by definition have 10 limbs (yes I know, the vampire squid from hell only has 8 arms, no tentacles but... well they aren't really squid so they don't count).

    Such shoddy, shoddy journalism. What's that? Mind control rays? Perfectly reasonable. Putin told me himself on the joint Wumao-Russiabot conference call last week.







  • I'm something of a breakcore fan myself, I can't say there aren't individualists amongst the fans or artists, of course, but it's like more genres in that regard. (Also depends on what you mean by breakcore I think cause there's quite the dispute between oldschool breakcore fans - stuff like Venetian Snares, Alec Empire's "The Destroyer", etc. - and new music being labelled 'breakcore' but which is mostly kinda shitty drum'n'bass with creepy anime cover art).


  • Christian Contemporary - in whatever flavour. I don't have much fondness for the church as it is and they manage to make something that's even worse than Christian Rock which, to quote Comrade Hill: "You're not making Christianity better you're just making rock and roll worse."

    Oh... maybe Martial Industrial or Neo-folk. Both of which are fucking teeming with fascists, or "apoliteic" bands. Pretty much everyone you look at in either genre is gonna be quoting Ernst Jünger and Julius Evola, amongst other more obscure fascist or fascist-adjacent ideologues. They have this romantic notion of 'Europa', free from the decadence of liberal democracy and multiculturalism - they're unironic 'RETVRN' types.










  • The Ukraine's (and the west's) demands are utterly insane, but others have addressed that better. Just gonna nitpick that the USSR only put missiles in Cuba as a response to the US having stationed missiles in Turkey, right on the Soviet's doorstep. It should be called the 'Turkish Missile Crisis' or the 'NATO Missile Crisis' - it's always the US starting this shit and then, like an abusive partner, gaslighting the world into accepting their narrative, painting themselves as the victim when they're the aggressor.
