I am leaving ILX.

You broke my heart when you said we'll part
Ain't that a shame?
My tears fell like rain
Ain't that a shame?
You're the one to blame

Farewell, goodbye, although I'll cry
Ain't that a shame?
My tears fell like rain
Ain't that a shame?
You're the one to blame

You made me cry when you said goodbye
Ain't that a shame?
My tears fell like rain
Ain't that a shame?
You're the one to blame

Farewell, goodbye, although I'll cry
Ain't that a shame?
My tears fell like rain
Ain't that a shame?
You're the one to blame

I touch you once, I touch you twice
I won’t let go at any price
I need you now like I need you then
You always said we'd still be friends someday

If you leave I won't cry
I won't waste a single day
But if you leave don't look back
I'll be running the other way
Seven years went under the bridge
Like time was standing still
Heaven knows what happens now
You’ve gotta say you will

They also ban dead folx.

We’re drinking my friend
To the end of a brief episode
So make it one for my baby
And one more for the road

I know the routine
Put another nickel in that there machine
I’m feeling so bad
Won’t you make the music easy and sad

I could tell you a lot
But you gotta to be true to your code
So make it one for my baby
And one more for the road

You’d never know it
But buddy I’m a kind of poet
And I’ve got a lot of things I wanna say
And if I’m gloomy, please listen to me
Till it’s all, all talked away

Well, that’s how it goes
And joe I know you’re gettin’ anxious to close
So thanks for the cheer
I hope you didn’t mind
My bending your ear

But this torch that I found
It’s gotta be drowned
Or it soon might explode
So make it one for my baby
And one more for the road

Hey table, good luck with the break. I know I'm not one of your favorite poster, but I do appreciate your fierce dedication to things you believe in, even if it leads to some abrasiveness. It's clear it comes from a good place and frustration with others for not facing issues with the deep sincerity you do, so even when I've had run-ins with you in the past I appreciate your insight. Don't stay away too long.

Can't say that i'm not pissed off after today's debacle but i am generally pro-tabes. Good luck and see you you soon.

Big fan of Table’s post here even if I don’t agree with them sometimes

Todays debacle?

stirmonster left

T — I will miss you.

i am definitely taking a break from any and all political threads! yeesh. i get riled up too easy. i'm keeping it light and fluffy going forward.

stirmonster left

Wait, he did? What happened there?

We fight all the time, table, but I'll miss you. Come back when you're ready.

Ned, see the On Djing thread

table - always impressed how you walk back and apologise pretty quickly whenever you feel you've gone overboard. Like to think that will be enough for stirmonster to come back too.

Personally don't think anyone changes much after some silence and reflection but it would be impressive if a new table comes back!

stirmonster should never leave for any reason. someone go get him.

stirmonster, stirmonster, stirmonster

(worth a try)

Speaking personally as someone who has a habit of flying off the handle here periodically, I support you table and wish you the best.

i am very much pro-table and pro-stirmonster and am selfishly hoping you’re both back sooner rather than later xx

tabes you make me nuts sometimes but i think your points of view are very important. take good care and i hope for your return to posting.

tabes, no poster enraged me like you: the way you divebombed a thread with what you thought was a truth bomb ("D.H. Lawrence was a stupid imperialist pig and I'm disgusted so many of you like him" is a fictional example but, yeah, you get the idea). The inflexibility.

A few minutes away from my laptop however reminded me that we'd probably have a better time arguing over beers in person.

I value you as a poster and I'll miss you.

i wish the table wouldn't get so pissed and mad on here though. he's gotten really mad on here at me and i barely know him. i think i just don't react that well to internet mad in my old age. i used to shrug it off but now it makes me want to flee. fight or flight! i just made that term up.
stirmonster is the bomb and i really hope he didn't go away forever.

branwell was the last person who made me want to leave and never look back. they hated me i'm pretty sure.

i'm all for people growing and learning though. i've grown! Grown huge that is. oof. so huge. and learned! a little!

Table and stirmonster are two valuable people and hope it’s just a short cooling off break.

okay Stir is back and okay on ilm.

yay!

Appreciate you and where you're coming from, table, even if some of my past comments belie that sentiment.

shortest ilx break...ever.

I hated everything I read by Bellow, Roth, and Updike— I always figured it was because I am gay?

And sassy as ever (that’s why we love him)!

came back to say 'hi, i'm back and doing better'. thought i'd only been gone two weeks, see a month has passed. jesssssssssus time has sped up.

thanks for kind words. I am mostly out of the spiral I was in, and missed you all.

Glad you are doing well Neando, happy to see you back!

Welcome back!

Welcome back, Neanderthal.

Welcome back Neanderthal, we have mostly been talking about fruit.

Neando! 💛

Good to have you back :)

heya Neando!

If there was anything interesting happening on ILM I wouldn't be clicking on all the overlapping and redundant US political threads. So naturally I blame all of you for my bad mood. See you on Bluesky.

if these windows dont get smashed up in irvine soon im quitting and all

dude my firm placed a bid and you rejected it citing "insufficient paperwork", how the fuck am I to fix this on a late Friday afternoon! good day!

be the change you want to see in the world / expect a deader sadder internet in the second trump era

i was considering leaving ilx but it's pretty easy to not click on the us politics threads. i know what's in them

Yeah I’ve been avoiding them and any other social media. music news is all I crave and I should post moar on ilm

The only thing MAGA republicans are good at besides grifting is messaging, and for example the messaging about Helene and North Carolina is intense, it's a total rat-fuck and has consumed the media, and it seems like it’s working

They used to be good at messaging, but now they suck at it. There was a long thread on Bluesky about this today, where the guy pointed out that even as recently as Obama's tenure, the Republican Party would be able to take a Democratic victory, find a few real things that were bad, and hammer on those all day every day until people hated the whole thing, no matter how beneficial it might have been in the aggregate. But now, they spend so much time talking exclusively to each other on podcasts no non-maniac listens to, on Truth Social, on Fox News and OANN, and wherever else, that they've created a whole alternate universe for themselves and they just make shit up that has no basis in reality, and can't possibly be mobilized to do real damage to Democrats, because even cable news anchors will look at it and say, "You people are out of your goddamn minds." The entire party is Donald Trump and Marjorie Taylor Greene and Lauren Boebert and Matt Gaetz, and when any one of those people isn't spewing insane bullshit, they're attacking one another. Their messaging is for shit because they're all insane.

Ultimately, their rhetoric has become a form of self-harm; it costs them winnable elections, their people are gonna lose out on government services and money because they think the government is holding things back when it's not... they're fucking themselves over. (And that's fine with me. Fuck 'em all; let 'em starve. I'm not Jesus, I don't give a fuck about your "deaths of despair" or anything else. You wanna put a shotgun in your mouth? I'm not gonna pull it out of your hands.)

Please stay unperson, what will we do without your commentary on democracy and much else besides, just like the above.

Glad to know some people here have a lot of time for this too.

Hope he comes back to Rolling Jazz.
