19 years ago on this day, Nine Inch Nails released the album „Year Zero“, a concept album describing a dystopian USA in the year 2022. It was conceived as a reaction to the George W. Bush reelection in 2004.
The lyrics hit even harder today.

This week's #MusicWomenWednesday is a wild one. Gary Numan influenced Trent Reznor massively, they did shows together, etc, nine inch nails had the song 'In This Twilight' on their 2007 LP Year Zero, and now Gary Numan's daughter Raven has done this great version: https://youtu.be/sfiqcDDcd70
Full circle! 🤯

Just finished reading and running a one-shot of Welcome To Grimsbury, the Year Zero based English folk horror RPG.
I'd not run Year Zero before, but I found it a fairly smooth dice pool system.
The setting (the town of Grimsbury and environs) is a bit more gonzo than I was expecting, with inter-dimensional portals, secret societies, and magical items everywhere.
I did have fun running it. I'll probably give it another go.

Mutant Year Zero is one of my favorite TTRPGs out there. We had a lot of fun with this at my table, and I think you will too

ngl, Papa V Perpetua is a brave choice for #NewPope.
I'm rooting for this guy, I hope he preserves the core values I hold dear:
#YearPlaylist: 1976
In addition to much #YearZero punk from a parade of likely suspects, there's also proto-punk from the Runaways and the 101ers, pop from ABBA and Bryan Ferry, one-hit wonders from Wild Cherry and Chris Spedding, and funk from the JBs.
A few obvious reggae classics from Dillinger, Clint Eastwood, and Junior Murvin are sprinkled throughout the noiselist.
