This is how the conversation went Ugh this is reminding me of Nu Metal in the 90s, which itself took up rap to augment singing. Though I had a book on hip hop where the author complains about artists breaking from sampling and introducing melodies and progressions. I can believe it, along with accepting that Donald Glover bit about the inanity of much old school hip hop. Music!

The classic rock college station here plays Green Day (as late as American Idiot), which is loving baffling to me. Also to not be completely off topic, Clinton brought in $143M in campaign money, so doing nothing seems to be a good strategy

Ups_rail posted:I disagree, Remember that they were able to get women to fight against each other with the Equal Rights Amendment by framing it as "young women in the work force look down upon you simple salt of the earth older home makers" Yes, they were able to do that in the past. However they were also able to put people up for office who could get more than 2% of minorities to vote for them as well. They locked themselves into the echo chamber and now they're really feeling the effects. Turns out that while women are split on abortion and can be turned against each other demographically, they're pretty not big on talk of legitimate rape, the miraculous prophylactic powers of aspirin, or being dismissed for having blood coming out of wherever. The GOP can't just hit reset by slapping a new coat of paint over their same old poo poo and carry on because while the attention span of the average voter makes flies look as long lived as tortoises, personally offending them sticks. Munkeymon posted:Yeah, I'm not a fan. GF loves Nelly for some reason, though My only complaints about my station is Steve Harvey in the morning and Sunday Morning Gospel. Other than that I can listen to a mix of good stuff from Funk Master Flash to the hottest acts of the late '90s.

B B posted:I just realized that I hate Garrison Keillor more for the Writer's Almanac than APHC. Imagine listening to the news on your early morning commute and having it interrupted by this poo poo: Motherfucker, I will cut you. The Writers Almanac was my favorite part of my morning commute when I had a car. You get some education on culture and a nice poem to go with it, which is more than can be said for most of the stuff on public radio. Watch your back, you illiterate swine. (My mother used to listen to PHC regularly so I built up a tolerance for Garrison Keillor's voice, but no I can't begrudge other people for not liking it, and yes, he thinks he's a lot more entertaining than he actually is and his programs go [or rather, went] on for too long. Writer's Almanac is pretty much the perfect length for him).

There are sketches, and the best-known part of the show, "News from Lake Woebegon," is a little like what you describe (though it's really just storytelling.) But the best part of the show is the music: they get some really talented musicians to play as guests.

Trabisnikof posted:Just because they exist doesn't mean they have power. A union that can't strike or do collective barginning isn't a real Union. To put it more accurately, the problem is that you don't like the police. Unions are obliged to defend their membership (regardless of how bad a member's alleged misconduct might be), and your opposition to police unions comes from exactly the same place as conservative opposition to teacher's unions: it's not actually the union that bothers you, it's the idea that anyone might stand up to defend the members of that union. Unions, like defense lawyers, are adversarial entities whose purpose is to defend people - it is not their job to say "hey, actually, this looks really bad", and in fact that actively goes against their job, which is to give the benefit of the doubt and force people to really prove wrongdoing rather than just going along with allegations.

Diane Rehm makes more sense now. I remember like a decade ago she sounded like she was going to die on air so I was surprised recently noticing she was still doing her thing. I know its not her fault but her voice makes me want to kill myself and get it over with. PHC is the perfect example to me of a thing you like in the abstract but can't stand actually listening to. Several Hispanic Trump surrogates reconsider support: "I am so sorry but I believe Mr. Trump lost the election tonight," said Pena, a pastor at Waco's Christ the King Church. "The 'National Hispanic Advisory Council' seems to be simply for optics and I do not have the time or energy for a scam." I can't imagine how deluded you have to be to have stuck with him this long.

I just recently discovered that Portland now has a station dedicated solely to "REAL HIP HOP". The couple of times I've listened it's been nothing but garbage rear end new club hip hop. Don't get me wrong, some people seem to dig it, but I was lucky to be able to get my finger to the power button right before I hit that oncoming truck. Which reminds me, I really need to disconnect the antenna in my wife's car so she has to rely on Pandora again.

From the author of the term "Trumpmenbashi", a nice article on evolving notions of race in the US: https://decorrespondent.nl/5185/How-do-you-become-white-in-America/1376052132785-3b0bcf7b quote:Here it is important to understand how, exactly, Americans ‘become white’. The history of Polish-Americans is an illuminating example. Upon arriving in the U.S. en masse in the late 19th and early 20th century, Poles endured discrimination based on their appearance, religion and culture. In 1903, the New England Magazine decried the Poles’ “expressionless Slavic faces” and “stunted figures” as well as their inherent “ignorance” and “propensity to violence”. Working for terrible wages, Polish workers were renamed things like “Thomas Jefferson” by their bigoted Anglo-Saxon bosses who refused to utter Polish names.

We've been over this before. The union has no obligation to make statements regarding the victims of police violence after the police officer has been exonerated by the system. For instance when Tamir Rice's family got their settlement, there's no reason for the union to make a public statement (and a representative of the union making an statement is speaking on behalf of the union and thus the members of which) saying that the money should be used so that African American children can be taught how to act around police, directly saying that Tamir Rice was the one responsible for his own death. That is needlessly antagonistic towards the community and for absolutely no gain. That is a huge problem when that community sees the police as a threat and not something keeping them safe. It also highlights the disconnect that the police in general have in terms of their own responsibility and makes the police look bad publicly. A teacher's union defends a teacher when that teacher is accused of a crime just like a police union should. However I don't think I can remember a teacher's union calling a student a slut and kids should stop being so sexy after a teacher was found innocent of molesting one. Police unions should be protecting their members but they also do bad or dumb things that go beyond that. We've had this discussion before and it goes in circles but I can't let it just sit there when you characterize the criticism of police unions purely as being angry that they are just doing what all unions do which is false. Also it's entirely possible to say that police unions need to alter their behavior in certain ways, that they can cause problems, and ALSO not want them made illegal or destroyed.

It's midnight. You're posting in USPOL, cramming deep dish pizza into your mouth like Doritos while guffawing at the Arzying of CNN playing in the background. That's when you hear...the sound. Your fingers continue to dance across the keyboard, of course, automatically continuing a multi-paragraph response that you're dead sure will stop fishmech in their tracks once and for all, but the rest of your body turns, your eyes widening in shock, as your eardrums begin to vibrate with those horrible, horrible words... "Oh I hear that old piano...from down the avenue..." As you collapse, your eyes instantly beginning to flutter shut, you can see a shadowy figure slip into your chair and, cackling, begin to type out "TRUMP IS UP BY FIVE colon arzy colon"...
