okay, another microgenre: "bands where the lead singer is not the most famous one". only other example I can think of is Santana

@hoya24s @PierceCavendish if negative tweets from random fans were an actual detriment to recruiting, some of our BE brethren would not be having the success they are in the portal
English
Maybe I’m too optimistic, but in the NIL era I just don’t buy that some negative discussion of a player’s fit when we have gaping holes in the roster made a real difference

@LatvianD @schrondonowitz the book this is based on involves them battling an American ship based on the USS Constitution. To get around this in the movie, they say the ship was built in Boston (and presumably sold to the French)
English
@schrondonowitz were amaricans fighting the british during napolianic wars?
English
yet they changed the nationality of the enemy ship to avoid huring the feelings of the main audience (the americans)...
wich was a mistake as i'm sure a lot of american would have loved to be associated with the aura of cunning and danger the Acheron and it's crew represents in the movie.

@schrondonowitz Yeah but then you’d lose the French dude yelling “eeeeenglish whaleuir!!”

all the minor roles—Danvers, Sommerville, Talleyrand, Grandma Minnie, Comrade Josh—were perfection. A worthy inaugural winner

@LarrikinDyke @alicealeph0 great point!! Blue and Songs for Beginners are the apex of this for me
English
@alicealeph0 Its really lovely comparing Moon Pix to Knock Knock. Love when albums are in conversation with each other, like Jen Cloher's S/T and Tell Me How You Really Feel by Courtney Barnett.

@queerbobdylan anyone raised by boomers is well aware of how boomer coded Paul Simon is. That’s the reason why his influence on millennial indie pop was so profound
English
no bob is honestly not crazily boomer coded, i think he can appeal to a gen z audience or any generation tbh. he just appeals to a more specific type of person, whether that be young or old
"Lou"ReedTyranny@nakedfoul
Paul Simon is definitely way more "high school guidance counselor" than Dylan, but has there ever been a musician as "boomer-coded" as Bobby D? Dude practically invented the code!

I often refrain from saying anything here that I’ve already seen posted or reposted by someone else. So while I was tempted yesterday to say it was the worst day of my nearly 18 years at The Post, it had already been said - and said well by many others. But today, for the record, since there is not one mention of it in the print edition delivered to my home in the nation’s capital: leaders at The Washington Post yesterday laid off 300 journalists. They closed bureaus around the globe, leaving fewer eyes on vital power centers and hostile regimes. They vastly shrunk our ability to cover the District of Columbia and the surrounding area. They abandoned the coverage of sports teams central to the region’s identity and at a time when upheaval and online sports gambling has become pervasive. They fired a stunning number of talented colleagues who make sense of the world around us in technology, business, education, climate, health and more. They fired journalists who take and select photos, edit video, produce audio, sketch graphics and who conceive and create other forms of digital story telling. They fired Pulitzer winning investigative reporters who spent the last year writing about the growing political influence of billionaires and dedicated editors and unsung heroes who every day save our copy from errors. It was, by any metric, a Washington Post-worthy news story, a story of gross corporate fiscal mismanagement, of a loss of independent media - of the buckling, critics would say; “restructuring,” Post leaders would say - of an American institution.
In the newsroom, there are goodbyes to come for so many journalists I’ve been proud to call colleagues. Sadly, it was not a one-day story, readers will soon see.

@TheREALeataTREE @TheCinesthetic Nelson was the same way!
English
@TheCinesthetic If you think Aubrey is competent just wait until he sets foot on land for five minutes (in the books, anyway). A master of the sea, utterly lost in real life.
English
Master and Commander: The Far Side of the World (2003) works because everyone is competent. Aubrey reads the wind, the charts, the crew. Maturin thinks through biology and strategy. No idiots forcing plot, just smart people making hard calls at sea.

It’s true, before they adopted their stage names, they were known as Matt Crowninshield and Ben Treat Paine

@Steven_Hyden pretty much masterminded and played everything but drums on the first CSN record

Stephen Stills probably the most underrated classic rocker at this point. Wrote "For What It's Worth," kept pace with Neil creatively until 1972 (respectable), popularized musicians wearing football jerseys, once abused enough cocaine to convince himself he was in the Army, etc

What's remarkable is that the RW accounts that ginned up hysteria around the Brown shooting were wrong about everything. The killer did not shout "Allahu Akbar!" The killer did not target Ella Cook. The killer did not shoot up that economics class because it was taught by a Jewish professor. The killer was not a Palestinian student, or Muslim. Brown University did not cover up evidence related to the killing in an attempt to protect one of its students. Nuno Loureiro, the MIT professor, was not killed because he was Jewish or made pro-Israel statements. In fact, there's no evidence he was Jewish. Their conspiracy theories were fabricated out of whole cloth and were wrong from top to bottom.
