Veteran doom/proto-metal band Black Sabbath decided to cash in on the latest media trend and released a riff on one of their classic designs changed to read “Black Lives Matter” instead of “Black Sabbath.” It is apparently hoped that this will extend their relevance for another six months and shift up to another fifty thousand units.
Noted source of Pulitzer-worthy journalism The Express and Star covered the essentials of the story of how one of the most legendary English bands hopped on the Black Lives Matter cockbandwagon:
The limited edition shirt is priced at $25 (£19.91) with all proceed going to the Black Lives Matter Global Network Foundation, a charity aiming to ‘builds power to bring justice, healing, and freedom to black people across the globe.’
The shirt was revealed yesterday on the iconic band’s social media pages, based on the group’s popular Master Of Reality album cover.
It comes in support of worldwide protests from the Black Lives Matter movement in the wake of the death of George Floyd, a 46-year-old black man who was killed in Minneapolis, Minnesota, during an arrest for allegedly using a counterfeit bill.
Never mind that if some long-haired, dope-smoking metalhead got killed by the police utterly no one would care because this society loves pretense and likes looking down its long Roman nose at us. You can get your copy of this Abrahamic cash-in at the awkwardly named Black Sabbath Apparel Shop.

“some long-haired, dope-smoking metalhead…” Ouch! That hit a little too close to home. Excellent point though.
I was one for many years. I don’t believe in nostalgia though. One must move forward in the qualitative dimension, ignore progress, and focus on both the eternal and the immediately relevant. Call it a “scooped” reality with the human drama in the middle purged. Some days I just want to smoke fat bong hits and rediscover the classics of death metal, but most of the time now I throw on a pot of tea, light a pipe, and listen to the “Unfinished Symphony” in rotation with Dismember.
Are you bald now Brett?
Brett got Norwooded
From pot to teapot.
I fucken love weed. But… ultimately intoxicants slow you down. And you spent your whole life chasing after bags of green shit. If you grow your own, more power to you, but you are still going to spend a lot of time wasted, and the second half of the trip increasingly depletes your energy.
I prefer my green/spearmint tea and pipe full of rich tobacco… today it’s a homebrew Va/Per made of Cotton Boll Twist and Brown Twist Sliced with some shredded Perique tossed in and aged. Tasty and would put even cigarette smokers on the floor.
fuckin bullshit, nothin like smokin a bowl and throwing on the headphones while youre taking a break from suckering the grapevines, doesnt hurt if youre having trouble getting into the morning tai chi, or getting a massage from a nice girl, brett im callin u out bro ur a nerd
I haven‘t smoked in years. Here in Europe it really is a chore to get hold of some quality buds (if you don‘t live in the Netherlands or Switzerland) and it‘s quite expensive. 2,5g cost you 25€ in Germany. What I like about the Weed in Europe though, is the fact that the THC/CBD ratio is mostly balanced; you rarely experience paranoia or other unpleasant side effects associated with weed that is strong in thc. Some time ago I visited a friend in Cali and the weed there blew out of my fucking socks. Paranoia, sweating like a Mastsau and nausea. Or maybe I‘m just a wimp when it comes to Marihuana.
Anyways, I had some great times and bizarre times while high. Tea and tobacco sounds good enough though.
paranoia from weed?
bullshit.
I used to smoke the strongest from growing outdoors, and hydroponic, and never got paranoid.
I got paranoid/angry smoking hash a few times though, which is completely different.
I smoke weed before doing yoga or lifting weights, eat more steak and eat less soy and weed won’t hurt you. I am sick of that voodoo belief that weed makes you out of your mind and lazy, only if you’re already stupid and lazy. It makes every activity, shooting, eating , fucking, showering, playing guitar, drinking coffee, a billion times more enjoyable and there’s zero withdrawals. You can stop after your last hit for a year and be ok, you can’t even quit caffeine that easily. Let’s not kid ourselves there’s probably not a lot of forceful physical activity on your end, the pumping of blood and pouring of sweat is as metal as it gets, go smoke a joint and do deadlifts while listening to Procreation and Blood, live a little.
Ok, Joe
I said that I had some great times on weed, it just isn‘t for me anymore, I don‘t need it. Maybe you‘re depressed if anything is more enjoyable for you while high? Brazilian jj and hiking for me btw.
I forgot: a little Kratom while deadlifting is nice. Preferably a white veined strain. Tastes like utter shit, though. Combine that with an espresso.
I just realized that you were responding to Brett, sorry. Try the kratom/espresso combination though!
This!
Evola anyone?

lol I was looking forward to re-read Men among the ruins on that site but it got removed…copyright infringement or something…so…time for a spliff and back to teilhard de chardin and his jesuit hoax
“most of the time now I throw on a pot of tea, light a pipe, and listen to the “Unfinished Symphony” in rotation with Dismember…”
That sounds like a lovely time. Yes, one does find oneself gravitating towards tea as one ages. I can’t say I’ve totally given up cannabis though. Something about listening to “Blessed are the Sick” and “A Blaze in the Northern Sky”, while totally stoned, just keeps calling me back. A personal ritual of invoking blackened curses upon modern society.
Lower standards always win out when the group chooses
Demotism (democracy, consumerism, socializing) is feces for this reason. Crowdism rules us all, until we overthrow it and bring back the kings.
Kinda hard to overthrow anything when the leftist media pushes an agenda and the ret@rds read this agenda on social media. I miss the days when the idiots were uninformed and only cared about their tv sitcoms and rap music.
I agree. Then again, right now, the internet has become the idiot fascinator and the rest of us cluster on the edges, trying to retain what sanity and self-respect that we can.
This why cuckservatives should be gassed. Seriously, someone just oy very shut the site down already.
Perhaps a more useful trope: cuckservatives/neoconservatives/libertarians are just a variety of Leftist.
“A Communist is just a Democrat in a hurry” or a cuckservative, neoconservative, or libertarian in a really big hurry.
Cuck of this World.
They’re going through “changes.”

A better t-shirt would be “Black Hash Matters” and have a picture of the bricks that were easy to get before 9/11, came from Afghanistan and were stamped “Taliban”.
Best stuff ever, as far as hash was concerned.
