I don't know who to root for in this war. One side is ruled by a cult leader who leverages religion and exploitation of minors to fuel their delusions of grandeur and dreams of destroying the old world order. And the other side is Iran.

Money can't buy happiness, but it sure solves a lot of problems that cause unhappiness.

Bunch of fucking morons running the world right now.

I wish billionaires were more interested in solving/funding stuff like this, instead of shit things like mass domestic surveillance, replacing labor with AI, or blowing up foreign countries.

Well.... UK Hardhouse, mostly. Some rough transitions toward the end.

Irrespective of what Merriam-Webster says, there is a more suitable word to use instead of "irregardless".

Historically speaking endorsements don't budge the needle. Voters don't care.

Leaded gasoline, acid rain, ozone layer, Y2K -- all dangerous warnings that we took seriously and made efforts to fix them.

And we fixed them so well that some believe they were never problems to begin with.

You can even add infectious diseases to that list.

Multiple hard techno DJs removed from events amid allegations of sexual misconduct Artists have also severed ties with Steer Management following the online circulation of β€œserious allegations” against several DJs signed to the agency

I've been saying this for the longest time: DJ sexual misconduct is the norm, not the exception.

Currently? I mean hasn't this been a thing for awhile? I remember Datsik/Excision and Derrick May and also Erick Morillo who chose to kill himself via GHB overdose rather than face the consequences.

DJ sexual misconduct is the norm, not the exception. I should create a running tally of all of them.

So wild to watch these billionaires waste their money buying broadcast television networks and legacy newspapers when not a single person under the age of 45 even watches TV or reads the paper.

I would vote for the Rave Party.

Campaign HQ be flashing strobes and blistering Acid House music all night long.

I always thought Victorian writers were too longwinded with their meandering run-on sentences full of endless asides and clauses and prep phrases.

And then I read the translated works of Tacitus and was like "ah, so that's where they got it from."

Economics: Who gets it.
Politics: How they get it.
History: When they get it.
Philosophy: Why they get it.
Sociology: Should they keep it?

I came up with something similar for systems back in high school:

Economics: Who gets it.
Politics: How they get it.
History: When they get it.
Philosophy: Why they get it.
Sociology: Should they keep it?

Ah yes, Bad Ass, with Mickey Finn -- the sonic horror that gave us Jump Up. We didn't know it at the time but it was a point of no return.

This "movement" is Potemkin activism funded by Russian active measures and Facebook/Xitter algos shoving AI memes and bot-slop into every Canadian's feed every 5 mins.

None of it is real, except the few Trucker Convoy dickwads in the comments, and the occasional Nazi-adjacent Alberta politician.

I think of them like chariot races.

Chariots hadn't been used in warfare since the Bronze Age, but chariot races were huge entertainment spectacles right through the Byzantine era. They were as big as modern pro sports, they even had their soccer hooligan era (cf. Nika riots).

No. Fuck that guy, I have better things to do than listen to him blather on about some bullshit.

Quality of life hack: Just avoid that stupid motherfucker altogether. Don't watch him, don't listen to him, don't read about him, don't pay attention to him.

Focus on your own life. Improve the things you do, help the people you love, contribute to your community.

You'll feel a lot better.

The nine most terrifying words in the English language are: "Don't worry, Jared Kushner is taking care of it."

I remember a stat awhile back that it would take Bitcoin something like 7 minutes to process the number of transactions that Visa processes every second.

And it's only gotten slower since then.

I've watched TNG so much I'm memorized every episode. I don't need to watch it again.

But thank you for explaining the insular nature of your post that labels me as part of the out-group.

PS: EDM doesn't exist. Only tourists and casuals use that term.

Sometimes you can just fix the fan noise by smacking the top of the box like Han Solo. Try that first.

Jellico was a fantastic captain and he was every bit in the right: The Enterprise crew had become sloppy and complacent under Picard and he was having none of it. He made Troi put on a god damn uniform for the first time in 6 seasons, FFS.
