Swedish; it’s an ikea commercial from, idk, fifteen or twenty years ago iirc

Watch this live version of Silver Springs; it’s like the wounds are still fresh even two decades later

So put Hitler’s paintings on permanent exhibition in a Berlin art museum?

If they’re genuinely good, and contribute to world of Art as whole, why not? It’s not like people don’t listen to Wagner. My guess is that his works are lackluster and have made very little impact in the art world.

Dalí’s work is revered, and, while he didn’t partake in genocide, he was a Francoist ghoul who shouted “¡olé!” at the assassination of his friend Federico García Lorca by Nationalists.

The good ol’ American tradition of forcing squaredance onto kids in schools—I was a victim myself from the ‘80s to the mid ‘90s—was borne of the fear and disgust of the black and Jewish roots of jazz, with Hitler idol Henry Ford being a big advocate for it.

It’s definitely a much bigger issue in metal than you would find in, say, jazz or electronica.

For a while, and I assume it continues today, there was/is a synth subgenre called fashwave, a Nazi-adjacent take on vaporwave. I imagine they have a niche elsewhere in the electro scene, and prob. industrial too?

Years ago, Brendan Small did a couple of characters on Comedy Bang Bang who, while being absolutely fucking hilarious and source of some of the top moments on the podcast, were kinda problematic, coming off as ethnic caricature. He quit doing those characters in 2017, for I think pretty obvious reasons, though I’m not sure whether anyone ever called him out on it. I assume it was similar to PFT’s rationale for dropping Ice-T from his own repertoire. In any event, you can take this however you will.

Conscience and consciousness are not the same thing

There are supercuts of bike slide homages on youtube

I think it was Crowder, but you may be able to change my mind

I did that back in the ‘90s on a TI-85 while everyone else in my class was sideloading Tetris onto their fancy TI-86es and laughing at my poor ass; iirc there was already a function built in for solving polynomials though so not only was I a poor loser, but I also wasted my time

[insufferable pedant mode] well no, because it would be the unreal 5 engine then, wouldn’t it

I didn’t know that it was already hashed out before Pratchett died, that’s good

Some cats love it. A couple of ours start licking/chewing air or give us li’l nibbles if they get whacked around the base of the tail. My parents’ cat demands to be bonked around with an empty soda bottle on a daily basis. They’re weird little gremblings, cats.

From Scientific American, “Is the Alpha Wolf Idea a Myth?”

I’m the opposite, I like that I earned the love of my cats. It sort of reflects me, I don’t let people into my life very often, but when I do, it actually means something.

When I was, idk, 7 or 8, we were in our tin can of a ‘78 Fiesta and I was in throbbing pain from my quarterly ear infection, but as the Tylenol+codeine kicked in—it was the late ‘80s, whatev—Kashmir came on the radio while I was sorta slumped to the side, my head resting rather uncomfortably next to the rear speaker. I just spent the following eight minutes just vibing, staring through the raindrop-dotted window at the traffic lights against the night sky, it was goddamn magical. That is my core Zeppelin memory. Years later, Physical Graffiti was the second CD I ever bought, specifically for that song.

The best song, hands down, on their Unplugged set is a cover and it makes me wish Kurt had cleaned up, gotten better, and made a whole album of his interpretation of old blues songs. It could have been fuckin’ incredible.

Also, they at least appear to be trying to get her interested, rather than just straight gatekeeping

A couple of months ago, we were finishing up on our grocery shopping when Sledgehammer started to play over the system. Our eleven-year-old daughter, whose favorite has been Queen’s Don’t Stop Me Now since she was like 6, stopped and said, “this guy sounds so familiar… is he the guy who does the Biko song?” Our jaws dropped. I try to play a wide variety of music from every decade in the modern era when we’re traveling so, despite that being my favorite of his, I don’t think it’s been in rotation more than a few times over the years, and its not like its something that would come up on YouTube when we would spend evenings playing music videos from our childhoods. This relatively deep cut from Peter Gabriel resonates with our kid more than his hits do— wait, what kids are even into Peter Gabriel in the first place? Fuckin’ Biko, man, wild. I hadn’t even heard that song, let alone knew what it was, until I was 17 and our only good radio station was playing all the weird stuff as it was dying, back in ‘99, and all the DJs were gone so nobody was announcing what just played.

Also, she likes to emulate David Byrne’s weird-ass choreography while humming from “Once in a Lifetime”. She’s a li’l weirdo, I love it.

Ha, sure thing, turbo. More like great way to tell everyone I’m better at managing my money than some o’ y’all, doing the bare minimum of not spending hundreds [with an ‘s’!] of dollars on a make-believe spaceship in an unfinished video game.

I really hope you forgot the /s there because, wa-how.
