@floppyplopper @Galdrakinn In The Great Hack they discussed exactly this technique -- Russian bots in 2016 posing as black activists telling blacks not to vote because it meant participating in a corrupt system, and the same thing happened in Trinidad and Tobago in 2013 with the Do So! movement. An easy (and apparently effective) way to silence people you don't like is to convince them to just not vote.
Voting is your most powerful leverage against a corrupt system.

someone out there has a "you're genre-fluid" chart that includes the categories indie pop, Canadian indie, indie punk, indie rock, and World Music
My Last.fm top 5 are different, somehow.
It's Screaming Females, J Dilla, Eddie Palmieri, RVIVR, and Raymond Scott.
Spotify must just hate J Dilla
I don't know if I can name a single song by Gramatik, but damn if his Coffee Shop Selections hasn't helped me out

Animaniacs: Harpo Marx has a fursona, and it's an imaginary black mammal that sounds like Ringo Starr and wears a baseball cap backwards.
Last.fm is good because you don't have to wait until the end of the year to get roasted for your musical taste AND you can get roasted for your taste back going back past 2010.
Oh, you binge-listened to Fischer-Spooner's constipation song back in 2006? Guess what, fucko? That's in your top 10 favorite songs until you beat 94 listens.

Just looked up the bios of the Trans Siberian orchestra and let’s just say that I am *very* disappointed.
I wonder how CJayC feels about the current state of things.

Just saw someone who isn't white having a job and a happy life. What's up with this forced diversity?

it's a testament to america's shitty racist DNA that it is taking this long to decrim and legalize/tax weed when it's way better revenue than arbitrarily imprisoning/enslaving minorities and stealing their shit

science, pol, (not so) hot take
The replication crisis is a problem of capitalism. The need to earn grants and to publish "ground-breaking" research lest you lose your job means that no one really gets to focus on making sure all that older stuff gets published. You're better off trying to show some cool new fact than to replicate (or fail to replicate) something done 20 years ago.
