blighty has it’s problems but they’re resolvable. rejoin the EU. Support Ukraine. Restrict 5 eyes intel until the US get’s it’s shit together. Lead NATO.
problems, but feasibly resolveable problems.
Hey now, we just exonerated ourselves by being nice to Zelensky. For today and today only, you have to respect us!!
i thought this was making fun of ireland for a bit
As someone who lives slightly north of the island in the middle of the south coast of this particular garbage patch; yes.
New beavers just dropped in england, so give em a chance to clean the place up (the beavers I mean).
It took me way to long to realise its Britain. My first thought was, that it would be the US and then got confused because this wasn’t the US.
It says garbage patch, not dumpster fire
I mean, have you been to Birmingham?
I will always have a soft spot for Birmingham for giving us Black Sabbath. Luckily, I have never been there though, so the reality will not ruin it for me.
I once had to stay in Birmingham after a cancelled train. On leaving the station I was accosted by a drunk demanding cigarettes, who started swearing at me after I admitted I didn’t smoke. That’s my only experience of Birmingham, I have to assume it’s typical.
Yes I have, and I found it to be rather pleasant actually… But then I am from Wolverhampton so it could just be the comparison.
My brain worked so hard to make this look like America, even though now I know it isn’t I’m pretty sure its still the USA
It’s North America from an upside down perspective.
I had a good, deep, cathartic laugh at this I didn’t realize I was in need of. UK politics has been an interesting but unfun mess for a long while.
They’ve just stated to unfuck themselves out of tgeir own neolib brainfuck. Guys like Garry and Giantsomething
The lost continent had emerged! It’s happening!
Trash Atlantis.
worldsfucked, m8
That’s so brutal, black metal fans burned a church in its honor
Yo the church was burning when we got here we just didn’t wanna let it burn without a proper send off
Hey now, we’ve got some nice bits - they’re all the bits with no people in
I genuinely don’t get why hating the UK has become so popular recently. Like, sure we have our problems, but it’s not that bad…
UK export neoliberalisn,evagelicals and that traitor against all human Boris,UK will not be allowed to live that down for 100 year. UK stop having shit ideas.
Have you not lived through the political shit show we’ve had? Brexit, COVID scandals, Boris Johnson, Farage, stagnating wages, poor productivity, inflation, high energy prices, NHS in crisis, housing shit show…and there’s no end in sight. Think the UK hasn’t been doing that badly is quite a willful refusal to see how we compare to the rest of the world and where we could have been if we functioned better.
randomly choosing a random outgroup to collectively hate on is funny sometimes (see: the fr🤮nch) Genuinely there is no other reason. sometimes people will create justifications/other explanations for it but really its just absurdist humor with a pinch of tribalism.
Look we made a bunch of overblown jokes against the French for a while…
…then they got BASED organizing ferociously for their workers’ rights…
…Then we stopped joking so much…
…and now they’re not doing so hot again.
I think there’s a causative effect here. Should the jokes continue in order to spur them to greatness once more, even if only out of spite?
Is it recently, though? As far as I can remember, specifically England has been the US of Europe. Or you mean the UK as a whole?
Brexit, probably. That lost a lot of international respect.
And I think it was Blair before that. XD
And the US is on track to beat that record.
I think we already did reputation wise. Economically, give it a bit longer cause I think we’re playing great depression 2: techie boogaloo.
Kinda unrelated but Garbology is a pretty great album imo.
That’s because all Aesop Rock albums are great.
Malibu Ken replaced None shall pass as my favorite but NSP still holds a place in my heart
Skelethon > everything (tho i do like ITS, the song Vititus has a weirdly nostalgic vibe)
I think NSP just got me because I took was grown in a royal dirt of Suffolk county’s flooring.
Malibu Ken isn’t an Aesop album it’s a Malibu Ken album. TOBACCO should not be underestimated and is great on his own too.
Can I not be jazzed about the collab? Geez. It’s 2 of my favorite artists arguably randomly coming together to make magic.
I consider it an aesop album x Tobacco collab album so therefore it is also an aesop album
I mean… Malibu Ken is … basically just Aesop Rock + Tobacco, right?
Like, the sub header/alt title for the album is ‘Aesop Rock and TOBACCO are Malibu Ken’.
Like how Garbology is Aesop Rock + Blockhead?
I… get that you can split hairs over exact naming schemes…
…but Malibu Ken just literally is Aesop Rock on vocals and lyrics, just as Garbology is Aesop Rock on vocals and lyrics. He just partnered with different musicians for the ‘beats’.
But anyway yes, Tobacco is fucking awesome, so is Black Moth Super Rainbow.
nothing sounds like how he … makes music. It’s incredible.
I know you think it’s pedantic, it’s just that the artist determines what is his personal work and what isn’t. If you look up Aesop Rock’s discography, Malibu Ken isn’t on it, but Garbology is.
It’s different because MK is a duo, where Garbology is an Aesop album that basically feats. Blockhead on every track.

Aesop Rock sells Malibu Ken directly off his website, just as he does with Garbology.
‘Aesop Rock and Tobacco are Malibu Ken’
vs.
‘Aesop Rock x Blockhead’
To me, this would imply Aesop Rock considers it part of his discography, his personal work.
Blockhead is also just one guy, a musician / producer, just like how Tobacco is just one guy, a musician / producer.
Garbology and Malibu Ken are both collabs between Aesop Rock and one other very talented musician.
If you’re going by discography lists put together by third parties like wikipedia or spotify or whatever, I’d say say that’s less of a direct source than… the actual artist’s official website.
Hell, even discogs.com shows Garbology and Malibu Ken in Aesop Rock’s discog, Garbology in Blockhead’s, and Malibu Ken in Tobacco’s.

Is … is there some interview Aesop gave where he specifically says he doesn’t consider Malibu Ken to be ‘his personal work’, but he does consider Garbology to be?
If yes, then I’ll happily stand corrected.
If no, then I don’t think your latter claim here has much merit.
Both are team up collab albums between two people.
