uk metal bands: The band met in university and bonded over their mutual love of music. They didn't think of starting a band before the gang's weed dealer offered to play bass. Originally Gregory only wanted to write songs about garden gnomes, but the rest of the band told him to shut the fuck up.

US metal bands: The lead singer was born in an apocalyptic christian cult and got excommunicated by 3 different churches as he left. One of his 8 sisters is in prison for first degree murder of her boyfriend over a meth dispute.

Norwegian metal bands: The band met in prison after the head guitarist murdered the bass player of his previous band, and the record company didn't let them use pictures of the murder scene for an album cover. The second bass player escaped the band to start his own apocalyptic christian cult.

Finnish metal bands: The band are childhood friends who were introduced to metal by the drummer's dad. Here are some some pictures of him picking mushrooms with his grandmother :)

Love how the us and Norwegian metal bands are interconnected parts of the same ecosystem

Excuse the low quality video. This is a short clip of a tune I started working on yesterday. (Down by the Salley Gardens) It came out pretty well, so I thought I’d share!

Actually really pissed that

is banned. Like unless you’re me, how tf does this provoke anything explicit.

This is the kind of shit you see in dystopians and dystopians only.

So here’s a solution to the whole thing with iOS Tumblr users that I haven’t seen anybody talk about, but that I unintentionally implemented before I even knew what the problem was, and it’s this: turn off auto-update. I realize that if you’ve already downloaded the latest version, intentionally or automatically, that it’s too late for this, but I don’t have auto-update on for any of my apps, and I’m sitting here on my iPhone looking at as many blocked tags as I please. I remember a couple months ago people were all upset that mobile had apparently removed quick re-blog or the ability to instantly scroll to the top of the page. This also never affected me, because I never updated the app to the version that had that change. Turn auto-update off, at least for Tumblr, and many many problems will suddenly magically disappear.

Breaking Bad + banned tags

silvermoon424

Apple makes a big show of being a socially progressive company but then tells Tumblr to ban tags like "racism," "antisemitism," "antiblackness," "lesbophobia," etc. As we all know, actual racists aren't posting in the "racism" tag, but rather anti-racism activists and POC talking about their experiences with it. So progressive to basically ban organized discussion of those topics on iOS!!!

This is just part of the broader effort to make the internet more sanitized and advertiser-friendly at the expense of freedom of expression. And unfortunately, marginalized groups talking about their oppression is bad for advertising and the sanitized "family friendly" image brands are going for. It makes people uncomfortable.

This is why I roll my eyes when right-wingers complain about "woke" companies. Sure, Apple or PayPal or Uber might change their logo to a rainbow-colored one in honor of Pride month or make a tweet in support of BLM, but it's complete lip service. Having terms of service agreements against hate speech isn't the same as actively supporting and fostering social justice causes. These are the same companies that spend millions of dollars on anti-union efforts to prevent their employees from unionizing and being treated better. Do you really think they give a fuck about treating people fairly?
