sharknado slashfic posted:Lol the only reason anyone cared about Live Aid was to see, like, Queen and Led Zepplin. No one gave a gently caress about Ethiopia. quote:BBC coverage co-host Andy Kershaw criticised the event in his autobiography No Off Switch, stating, "Musically, Live Aid was to be entirely predictable and boring. As they were wheeled out – or rather bullied by Geldof into playing – it became clear that this was another parade of the same old rock aristocracy in a concert for Africa, organised by someone who, while advertising his concern for, and sympathy with, the continent didn't see fit to celebrate or dignify the place by including on the Live Aid bill a single African performer." Kershaw also described the attitude of Geldof and his showbusiness associates as "irritating, shallow, sanctimonious and self-satisfied". Checks out.

I'm pretty bummed that more liberal policies haven't won more support but kind of relieved that Sanders's inability to follow through on turning out new/young voters has been exposed now instead of in the fall.

Peloton is still garbage for the majority of people and just loving lol at buying a $3k bike with a subscription service instead of buying a generic exercise bike at a thrift store and a stack of fitness dvds for literally a fraction of the cost. No kidding. I got an old 70s/80s Schwinn exercise bike for $30 on Craigslist. It doesn't count calories or anything but I have earbuds and it has a timer so yeah I'm fine not paying hundreds.

We're in the beginning of oak pollen season in Texas and every little cough or sniffle from any of us is getting a lot more attention than it would otherwise. I have two little kids and I'm a lot less worried that the corona will get them than that they'll get it from daycare and accidentally kill grandma and grandpa.

SimonCat posted:It would have given less ammunition to the Republicans to fire up their base, and the Dems have been "Vote blue, no matter who" since at least 2016, if not earlier. So what was gained by impeaching Trump? It gives more ammunition for Democrats to fire up their base and the name of the game is turnout. Make the people who aren't Trump's base but still voted for him less likely to do so again. Make the people who voted Obama but didn't care for Hillary turn out again.

egyptian rat race posted:I heard on NPR that net neutrality advocates are monitoring the huge upswing in data use now that so many folks are working from home and streaming entertainment. They said since most major carriers in the US have lifted data caps due to the crisis and the system hasn't melted down due to "congestion", basically the companies are full of poo poo. They're hoping to push to regulate internet service as a utility if they can eliminate the old arguments for having data caps/rationing service based on price. Ajit Pai and his dumb loving mug have already demonstrated that arguments don't matter and it's all about enriching the telecoms.

Since we already get government issued salaries regardless of whether we get shut down, what's a good place to donate that money to in order to help people who actually need it? I was planning on the local food bank but I'm open to other ideas. I was going to get food at places that have gone take-out only a few time a week.

I turned 18 in 2000, so I spent way too much time listening to poo poo like Disturbed, Manson (until holywood, nothing since), and anything else that was just angry people yelling into microphones. Slipknot and their kind were a bit more than I cared for, so I didn't get in too deep to nu metal. I stuck to some weird bands for a while, hence Stroke 9. Also 8stops7. I was deep into alt in the 90s and pretty much switched to college stations exclusively when bands like Korn and Limp Bizkit started getting rotation on mainstream radio.

SimonCat posted:Since this got lost on the last page: No you wouldn't have been because you won't accept that Bernie can lose fairly. Bernie engineered his own defeat by spending four years failing to figure out a) how to get black voters to trust him, b) how to appeal to voters over 30, and c) how to get more young people to show up at the polls. He lost on his own. Bernie bet his campaign on increasing the turnout of the least reliable voting block. Biden bet his campaign on appealing to the most reliable Democratic voters. Bernie lost that bet. Try to accept that.
