Nicky Veitch<p>The fact we're in the 30s, I haven't really listened to TripleJ for over a decade, and I recognise/remember/love about 90% of the countdown so far, speaks volumes about the state of radio and Australian music in 2025 <a href="https://aus.social/tags/hottest100" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>hottest100</span></a> <a href="https://aus.social/tags/GenX" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>GenX</span></a> 💪</p>
Peter Cohen<p>there's always a song that gets in my head after I see it live that I can't shake. And this time around seeing Pixies last week it was Dig For Fire. I would love to understand what my brain is braining but I am simple so here is the riff.

Ms. Que Banh<p>Stop elevating bigoted fuckers. <br>Even if, maybe ESPECIALLY since, you only hold fond memories before your <a href="https://beige.party/tags/GenX" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>GenX</span></a> celeb faves chose to out themselves as bigoted NAZIs who also don't believe covid was real. That steroidal pumping muthafucka likely died from multiple covid infections, leading to cardiac arrest. I do not shed a single tear for that overly muscled loserNazi.</p><p><a href="https://beige.party/tags/FuckHulkHogan" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>FuckHulkHogan</span></a></p>
Ms. Que Banh<p>I grew up, watching <a href="https://socialbc.ca/tags/HulkHogan" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>HulkHogan</span></a> with my younger brothers. I started hating him, during those early 80s times. I first started hating him for his misogyny. Then, hated him more when he treated Andre the Giant abusively. I also remember his racist shit. Fuck that guy beyond the grave. He was a fascist, bigoted POS. Burn in hell, muthafucka.</p><p>Also - he likely died from <a href="https://socialbc.ca/tags/covid" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>covid</span></a> cardiac arrest because the fidiot didn't believe covid was serious either.</p><p><a href="https://socialbc.ca/tags/NoSympathy" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>NoSympathy</span></a> <a href="https://socialbc.ca/tags/GenX" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>GenX</span></a></p>
Dr. Or M. Bialik<p>I really hoped that the negative effects of <a href="https://mastodon.world/tags/lead" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>lead</span></a> exposure, socially, are mostly behind us... but it looks like <a href="https://mastodon.world/tags/GenX" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>GenX</span></a> is actually hit hard by the side-effects of lead exposure, and it's not going their <a href="https://mastodon.world/tags/neurology" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>neurology</span></a> any favors. <br>(And if you want to get a bit more depressed about this not going away, look up a paper by Mark R.

Mx. Luna Corbden<p>I watched this really cool nostalgic introspective about Art Bell and the impact he had on the people who lived in that time and place.</p><p>It might be easy to think that by entertaining conspiracy theories and magical thinking, he contributed to all this *motions around*.</p><p>I don't think so at all. I think that while he was broadcasting in that time and place, he was channeling all kinds of kookie ideas into a harmless form.</p><p>It wasn't until he left the air that Alex Jones and QAnon filled the space, to warp these tendencies towards authoritarian ends.</p><p>As this video partly points out, Art Bell gave an empathic and measured place for the weirdos, those who were still awake between midnight and 5am. He offered just enough skepticism and openness to keep these spooky spaces neutralized and benign. His empathy for every caller reminded listeners that we are all still human – that in spite of the vast space between us on lonely nights, we are connected.</p><p>So I got that subscription to Coast to Coast AM, and am on a bit of an Art Bell kick. As I listen, it's like night and day compared to today's grifter-led conspiracy spaces. </p><p>In terms of indulging my nostalgia and craving for liminal feelings that the Backrooms can only take so far, Art Bell is just what the doctor ordered.</p><p><a href="https://youtu.be/G3M58o7r-w4" rel="nofollow noopener" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="">youtu.be/G3M58o7r-w4</span><span class="invisible"></span></a></p><p><a href="https://defcon.social/tags/ArtBell" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>ArtBell</span></a> <a href="https://defcon.social/tags/GenX" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>GenX</span></a> <a href="https://defcon.social/tags/Conspiracies" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Conspiracies</span></a> <a href="https://defcon.social/tags/Radio" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Radio</span></a> <a href="https://defcon.social/tags/liminal" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>liminal</span></a></p>
