Sir Tonk posted:theyve been terrible since the Black Album Terrible only in the context of the previous albums, really. But there were some damned good songs on some of those later albums. Sure, they were few and far between, but they were there. And I like Death Magnetic even if it was a cheap ploy to rekindle the passion of those first few albums. As a 37 year old man, I get it.

Electric Bugaloo posted:wherein a career True Believer dances on the knife's edge: How We Killed the Tea Party Hooollyyyy crraaappp. Not only did the whole Tea Party thing end up absolutely exactly the way people with half a brain said it was going to end up -- eaten alive by the GOP the second it became apparent the monster the Kochs created wasn't completely on their side -- it's pretty much proven that it was all about racism and bigotry after all as the TPers gravitated toward the exact kind of guy they would have fought to take down. Once again, you couldn't even begin to write this poo poo without the whole story falling apart due to absurdity and predictability.

Spiritus Nox posted:I hope Donald says he wants to nuke 'em. He's going to bitch about how the advisors told him nukes weren't an option and insinuate that nukes "aren't off the table". This will understandably freak out everyone who understands a thing about nuclear policy and bring a new wave of unendorsements and hopefully a condemnation from the Bulletin of the Atomic Scientists or some other major nuclear policy think tank.

Pyroxene Stigma posted:I still can't say that about a band that had four incredible albums and one really good album before dropping a couple Loads on their fans. Some Kind of Monster is literally a film about 2003-era Metallica's group therapy sessions (with "performance enhancement coach" Phil Towle) that had a theatrical release. I don't know how much of that is commendably progressive and how much is just hilariously self-indulgent and out of touch. Robviously posted:I know this is from a couple pages but Wallingford was a bit of a hotbed for Klan activity to the point that they had a white supremacist hold a talk in the public library and didn't recognize MLK Jr. Day until the state made them in the 2000s. Red Scroll is a pretty nice record store though. A good stop if you're driving through the nothingburger between MA and the CT that most people think about.

Since this is 80's metal chat, this is probably pertinent. Hillary is the only candidate endorsed by Slayer. http://www.rollingstone.com/music/news/slayer-guitarist-talks-elections-only-safe-correct-choice-w431159 If Trump can't wrap up the GWAR endorsement, it's over.

here's something I've always wondered that the media never seems to ask - what was Obama exactly supposed to do with the status of forces agreement? Maliki didn't want us there. He would never have signed it. Were we supposed to just stay, against the wishes of the elected government? Or is the argument that Obama could have gotten said agreement if he really wanted to, but didn't give it a serious try because he wanted out, too?

I am grateful that the Republican party reached its logical conclusion I never got why the Obama administration prefers ISIL over ISIS, but focusing on that is missing the forest for the trees in the biggest way possible. Unlike, say, "Radical Islamic Terrorism", which lumps an entire religion in to things as opposed to focusing solely on the bad guys without dragging religion in more than it already is.

Josef bugman posted:Okay could someone sumurise the Don Lemon thing? I hate watching people argue if I can't get involved and the video is already a bit weird. Dan Bongino/Trump stooge basically insulted Don Lemon a lot and Lemon told him he was lying and, best of all, that he should be ashamed of himself. You aren't really missing out on much, although it's a great example of how the Trump team tries to defuse his controversies after the fact. If I was on the fence and didn't fully understand things, all the arguing would make me feel like it's just another unsettled political debate (although the facts are clear enough and Lemon and the panelists push back hard enough in this instance that it's also clear that the tactics of obfuscation can only do so much). Also Dan Bongino is running for House Rep in Florida  Praise be that I don't have to work in the same building with ideologues like that and be told I have to try to pass legislation with them.

UV_Catastrophe posted:Currently, the other thing I see on Twitter about Milwaukee is an eruption of fiery hot takes. Calmed down, thankfully. Milwaukee is pretty much a prime example of de facto segregation. The city is black, the suburbs are white, and gods forbid if you try to make your suburb attractive to black people as the mayor of New Berlin found out.

There's just a preference away from using the term ISIS. Kerry uses the term Daesh as often as ISIL. I would guess its for the same reason you aren't going to hear many South Koreans refer to North Korea as the DPRK. It's just a way to avoid legitimizing the regime.
