Also, “Febuary“

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

Pizza Hut logos were strewn throughout at least the first level; reading up on it, these were added to the NES port and were not present in the original arcade game.

Ever play the TMNT arcade game or its NES port?

Venus isn’t a planet either. It’s a hell-sphere. But that makes it even more rad 🤘

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.

I preferred when they were originally Vin Diesel jokes, not the least in part because Chuck Norris is a chud

Bitchin’

I still use that, and I’m trying to bring def back but I got none of the rizz to do it

Okay, gotcha, I was looking at it from their point of view, which is that everything to them is bigotry, not realizing that that’s what you were saying in the first place. The bad, it is mine.

Not a problem. I blame it on the media referring to everyone they see as “them damn kids” as millennials

.ml tends to slap “rule 1” on everything, which says don’t be a bigot, even if that’s obviously not what the comment was about.

[emphasis mine]

Sure about that? From what I’ve seen, anything said in disagreement with the predominant opinion over there (and on hexbear, especially on hexbear) is deemed “bigotry”. They don’t appear to be interested in ingratiating anyone to the cause.

Zoomers aren’t even 30 yet and the oldest of Alphas (incl. my daughter) are just preteens. That said, you’re right, they are in grave danger of having the wool pulled over their eyes by viral disinformation campaigns; however, they have massive potential to use all that for benevolent purposes. We also have some time and opportunity yet to teach them the importance of civic duty and the critical thinking they will need to combat the gauntlet of scams they’ll be running through in the years to come.

Bummer about those thalidomide arms though

That connectivity in hard-to-reach places—much like free speech absolutism—is conditional upon whether he (or the dictator of an invading force, with whom he agrees) will allow it

[edit] and apparently Starlink may not even be profitable, with its accounting described as “more art than science” which always bodes well

I’m hearing this in Dana Carvey’s Tom Brokaw.

“And he was delicious.”
