I've been trying to get into new music again, so I'm starting a thread of that sort of thing. Gonna try to update it semiregularly.

I’m not a political journalist, so was gladly surprised at the community I found here last night. To Americans anxious about the upcoming elections, a key thing we learned in Brazil that might help you: DO NOT engage with the far-right online. Don’t share rage bait. Amplify your people.

Over 2,000 alumni from Vivek’s all-boys catholic high school in Cincinnati have signed and circulated a petition demanding that he pull the ad and issue a public apology for “ignoring the moral responsibilities” of his Jesuit education. I think he’s pretty cooked.
I once had the idea to make a small collection of profane memes in Esperanto to distribute onto the Internet with the purpose of being completely incomprehensible to basically everyone except me and a few people who would not get the joke.
There was this and "PERDONU, PUTO, KIE ESTAS LA BANĈAMBRO"

Nathan Fielder's success is proof we lost a lot when Comedy Central stopped being the top talent scout in the '10s. Since then Netflix has gotten us Hannah Gadsby and Nate Bargatze.
Pretty dangerous to have a former US President just up and confirming that foreign dictators don’t have to follow Cheesecake Factory’s carefully established branding guidelines.
Because eMudhra is in the news, I am sharing a screenie of a footer of an email I once received from them in reply to my query about my PAN card (a government-issue tax identity and card).
Uhhh, so in like, summer 2022 I went to a Chinese restaurant in Chicago and me and all of my friends got fortune cookies that had ads for FTX in them.
This was like... 4 months before FTX collapsed?
people explain this switch as an attack ad that Ramaswamy launched that backfired on him, but he did testing on the ad, and it should’ve worked
it was probably the second order effects — people liked the ad, until over time it became apparent that would make them a pariah within their friends
The ambient crime rate today in the worst neighborhood in NYC is is lower today than the ambient crime rate in one of the richest neighborhoods was in 1992.

liberty mutual was the only advertiser who stuck with tucker carlson after he said mexicans were "filth" so whatever fantasies you have about torturing the mascot are morally correct

It's one of the largest economic events in the state. It is the largest by a wide margin in most of the communities it passes through.
I’m going to post this, with two comments:
Wow is there ever a lot going on here.

And now I’m muting this thread immediately lol.
