https://twitter.com/ava/status/1291917587928948736?s=20 couple of dudes in their early 20s have discovered Phil Collins in the best possible way, completely blind. This put "In The Air Tonight" as top 3 on iTunes for sales that week, and apparently 4th most purchased song on all platforms for the week of Aug 1-8.

Internet Wizard posted:How braindead do you have to be to think Copmala Harris is progressive? Sliding scale. You don't get elected as a senator from California by being a super coppy cop cop, just a cop. "We" online folks don't think of Kamala-type politicians as progressives because we're used to Bernie and AOC being loving awesome on a daily basis.

Biden could have picked Joe Lieberman's slowly wilting body and this campaign response would have been virtually identical.

I know I'm becoming a old man buzzkill, because I'm more disappointed at the idea that modern kids don't go digging for older music anymore. In fact I have a whole spiel about how the relationship between music and youth has changed so much in the age of streaming age altog-- Knives Amilli fucked around with this message at 22:00 on Aug 11, 2020 |

So I will readily acknowledge that a couple of young black kids have probably never heard any Phil Collins or Genesis before. However, at the risk of being an curmudgeon, I can’t stand people pretending to “react” to things for YouTube views, which is what most of the videos in the category are.

I got a huge kick out of watching those React videos of a group of kids playing The Last of Us 1 for the first time and seeing the bit where Joel's daughter dies in the first ten minutes.

There's a difference between "can't attack us" and "the attacks will not be credible." Like claims that Joe Biden is being possessed by the spirit of Bernie Sanders. That's an attack but nobody will buy it who isn't an OAN watcher already.

Earlier on it was just one of the brothers, and his reactions to Peggy Lee (Fever), Radiohead (Creep), and the Lynne/Petty/Winwood/Prince tribute to George Harrison (While My Guitar Gently Weeps) are all pretty stellar and appear to be genuine. Especially when Prince tosses his guitar into the stratosphere.

I think we're generally discounting how not-online and politically uninterested a regular Voter is. Most of them are just learning that Biden picked a woman. And she's BLACK?!? HOLY poo poo A BLACK WOMAN VP?! INDIAN TOO?! I think it would be hysterical if she's given the job of basically being the AG of airing out all the non-criminal corruption of the past four years. The VP never has a real portfolio, so gently caress it, lean into the cop poo poo. Have her investigate every drat thing from the past and publish a weekly corruption newsletter of all the trash the administration did behind closed doors.

Yeah from a purely Presidential electoral standpoint Harris is a solid choice, doesn't move the needle much in either way but unlikely to be a net negative, especially with your average older Dem voter. Still feels like this is all going to end in a Ford/Carter style administration of lost opportunities and milquetoast efforts to 'return to normalcy after the long national nightmare.' Probably the only hope is if the Dems manage to retake the Senate and the Bernie/AOC types are able to exert enough pressure on the rest of the party to get some actual meaningful bills passed.
