Oh boy. The University I work has just reported someone with an AR-15 walking around. https://twitter.com/NewsChannel8/status/784098773559631876 https://twitter.com/thedbk/status/784098907596976128 Ritchie is near Frat Row so here's hoping it's some bumble gently caress from Western MD being dumb enough to walk around with his hunting rifle.

No, still not doin' it for me. boner confessor posted:what most americans think of as country is about the same as thinking the bee gees are rock I would've labeled this as blue grass, rather than country. I dunno if there's a meaningful difference. I think I'm just resentful because at work they almost exclusively play the same 30 pop-country songs and it's evil.

Some of you might be aware there's a presidential campaign simulator game that shows up every 4 years. What you might not be aware of is that they constantly patch it during the campaigns. Nobody tell Jason Chaffetz that his favorite play just got buffed, he might start abusing it.

I dunno if there's a meaningful difference. bluegrass is a subgenre of country, also called american roots music. top 40 country is often called nashville sound or country pop, it's a blend of country themes and instruments with soft rock. jimmy buffet is barely not a country artist, just barely the new hot thing in radio country is country rap

If local radio and I-pod playlists from Brother In Law are any indication, modern country music is the soft rock of the 2010's for people who like to sit around and drink Bud Light while listening to music that reminisces about drinking or maybe talking about a cute chick. All the music sounds the same and is sung by the same guy.

JohnCompany posted:Frankly it's unlikely. Off the top of my head Ginsburg has written opinions (notably Untied States v. Virginia, regarding VMI being male-only) based on intermediate scrutiny for gender delineation under the 14th, without the usual hint-dropping that comes along with a certain wing of the court looking for an avenue to do something. The opinions written on it, like the vmi case, use that "exceeding persuasive language," which is accepted by a lot to mean "this is strict scrutiny but we're calling it intermediate bc we want it accepted." Scrutiny standards only mean something when they want them to, like how Kennedy refuses to ever save what standard applies to gay people

emdash posted:https://theintercept.com/2016/10/06/in-the-chicago-police-department-if-the-bosses-say-it-didnt-happen-it-didnt-happen/ Thanks for posting this, it's a great article. A few random thoughts: -it's incredible that a decades long joint-investigation between the CPD and FBI resulted in only two relatively minor convictions related to an obviously criminal enterprise within the CPD. CPD obstruction into the investigation is expected, but the FBI doesn't come out looking good at all. They had a single agent managing the case, and he managed to bungle things so badly the investigation had to be restarted? At a sting they helped orchestrate all the federal agents involved happened not to witness the key transaction (one claimed he'd gone to the bathroom)? This is all against the backdrop of virtually everyone at the FBI expressing exasperation at the comical degree of corruption within the CPD and disbelief that Watts was still employed, let alone promoted. This isn't a case where the corruption was well hidden and yet the FBI does not have the ability to properly investigate or prosecute. It's not clear if this is incompetence or a sign of corruption at the FBI itself. -the CPD internal affairs division is worse than useless -it gets suggested as a panacea for all police problems, but mandatory body cams and/or audio recorders would have made a lot of the criminal acts committed by officers much more difficult. This seems to be the most realistic solution, the IAD and FBI are not capable of investigating corruption and municipal politicians aren't able to reform the police force (at best they bring in a new superintendent and pretend they've accomplished something).

Lightning Knight posted:Jazz doesn't suck. It's just kind of dull and puts me to sleep. I'm a big fan of electronic jazz but I feel like in general my tastes in music may be super terrible and mark me as a young millennial suburban shithead. You're listening to the wrong kind of jazz then. There is some solid electronic stuff out there like what Mark Guliana and Brad Mehldau did a few years ago. He worked with Chris Thile from the punch brothers too. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cnH27mxW0KM https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SH9k7NHX-sU Robert Glasper just did a tiny desk concert with Common at the white house and has done a ton of collaborative work with the roots mos def, and a handful of other big names. Joey Alexander was on the Today show not long ago playing with Lester Holt. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=f2OAmOqs_ZM It's a lot more prominent and a hell of a lot more diverse than people realize.
