The problem isn’t that they’re moving past it—it’s that they’re trying to rehabilitate it. Would be better for everyone if people who don’t want to engage with the facts just talked about the play on the field and left it at that.

I think this is true. For my partner or myself, it was always a deal breaker and insult to employ this piece of shit, but we’re tangential at best to fandom. For her Cleveland fam, or my neighbors, or my kid’s teachers and friend’s parents, they just like it when the home team wins. It’s gross

Jazz OTD: "No Room For Squares" was definitely the best title in tenor saxophonist Hank Mobley's discography, and possibly the best album too (among fierce competition). He recorded most of it on October 2, 1963 with Lee Morgan (tp), Andrew Hill (p), John Ore (b), and Philly Joe Jones (d). #jazzsky

Several weeks ago, Phil Tippett's legendary animation studio in Berkeley, CA closed. An anonymous hero noticed a folder of CDs. This turned out to be hundreds of unseen hi-res images and videos from Star Wars, Robocop, Jurassic Park, etc. ~90 isos for you to browse: archive.org/details/tipp...

Like so many things with Trump, it feels like an artifact of the 80s and 90s. I feel like even when I was in high school towards the end of that period, it was widely regarded as a junk metric and kind of an embarrassing thing to bring up

The peace Conan describes here is what I find so psychotic about Capitalism: The unnatural systemic need for more, growth, bigger, up, is constantly making people feel - mentally and financially - like where they’re at is not what success looks like, even if it’s exactly what makes them happy.

Yes every woman has been harassed, many assaulted. But every woman has also experienced invisible loss from moments she avoided harassment. She felt a space becoming unsafe, so she left, while men stayed on. And in leaving, she lost: opportunities, experiences, learning, promotions, even simply fun.

I often think of a guy I knew who showed me art he made for his girlfriend, which was the word love repeated over and over in different fonts, arranged in the shape of a heart. Because he loved her, I assume, with his heart, which also can itself symbolize love. I bet he’d enjoy this stuff

this guy is just an AI booster on Twitter, of course he's going to have this opinion because it lures in the town he's currently trying to sell a monorail to, but it's not actually real. When guys say this, they don't actually know or care about music or history, they just care about the attention

The general public hates AI music.

Here are other things the general public hated over the years.

1920s: microphones.

The idea that you could project your voice was lambasted by critics for being "manipulative" when they were first released. Today, microphones are pretty much a requirement.
