When did white supremacists fully appropriate skulls into their lexicon of symbols? I feel like bikers, Misfits fans and the Powell Bones Brigade need to unite to reclaim that shit.

Nazis and skulls made me think of this propaganda picture. Still a favourite.

Well, it sure doesn't help that this particular Venn diagram is awful close to a circle...

Oof. I'm clearly not familiar with biker culture other than some back patches and tats I've seen.

Like 25% of the teams in England's League One were in the Premier League within the last 10 or 12 years.

To be fair, there are various depictions of skulls.. some of them more obvious than others.

E.g. I doubt you’d confuse the Punisher skull with the Jackass skull and… crutches.

A lot of what I'm seeing on pickup trucks looks like a Punisher skull with a thin blue line.

Yep, I’ve seen plenty of those in suburban Chicagoland as well; often on pickup trucks.

If there is a silver lining, at least you know who to avoid.

I want to see a full-band version of Brick Layer Cake where the backing players are a legit sludgy doom outfit.

And while we're at it, if we can get Todd singing for Sunn O))) for a project, put me down for a pre-order.
