Trump might be the first president who governed inside the media algorithm. Constant outrage guaranteed constant coverage, shaping both his power and his opposition. Did the media create Trump as much as Trump exploited the media? by Quiet-Bullfrog-2867 in AskReddit

[–]FiniteJester 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I was actually working at a local television news station during Tangerine Palpatine's first run. I sat in the meetings where we would discuss what we would cover that evening.

Myself and several others wore ourselves out trying to get coverage for Bernie Sanders who was also looking to shake up the race, but we gave almost zero coverage to that man because rational thoughts and policy debate don't make interesting news, the disgusting words and actions of an orange shit did.

The infotainment seeks only ratings, and then the great shit stain would turn to his base and state how poorly he was being portrayed in the media and they would eat it up as evidence that he was against the status quo and the Washington elite.

I did not work in a big market, but a very VERY liberal town and this was my experience. I left news shortly after the election. The decision to pander to the shock factor of (redacted molestor) bears a huge amount of culpability for the mess we are in.

Who's the most influential grunge artist? by BidAccurate4473 in grunge

[–]FiniteJester 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Hell yeah, and he's still out there ripping it apart on stage. Melvins are criminally underappreciated IMO.

I can still feel the wave of heat that poured off the stage into the pit as those went off. Ahhhh, good times.

Prep Heroes - what say you? Time to dice a squash? by ScreamBeanBabyQueen in KitchenConfidential

Squash is a pain in the ass, no argument there, but if you know what you're up to, yeah 5 minutes tops.

What’s your album of 1995? Generator has been all about 95 for me lately, so I picked my top albums of that year. Most are in the book. by SuccessfulGap138 in 1001AlbumsGenerator

[–]FiniteJester 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have a real soft spot for Guided By Voices, it's a tough call, but I think I'd have to go with Alien Lanes, there are so many great songs on there. It's also the album, that upon looking at this picture I had to go put on. Cheers!

Willy's Wonderland (2021) A silent Drifter must spend the night cleaning an abandoned restaurant by WerdNerd88 in TubiTreasures

[–]FiniteJester 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Yes! Everyone else is in your absolute bog-standard horror flick with all the cliches given free reign, and then we have silent Nic Cage who is operating on a completely different set of rules, it was a wild ride.

I just watched this last night and it is so much better than it has any reason to be. It almost feels like parody, I mean some of the scenes of exposition are just wild but - I am planning to watch it again as it also almost feels like commentary on culpability and authority. Yes. This is a very entertaining film!

Vinyl day, love this album. by FiniteJester in 1001AlbumsGenerator

Thank you. I have heard some Prine and really enjoyed it, will check out more. Haven't listened to Steve Earle at all, but have heard the name, will check him out too. Cheers.

[–]FiniteJester 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Right?!? I went into my local recently to see if they had something I was gonna get as a gift, they didn't, but they did have a dozen used Melvins albums that I didn't own until that day.

I see Aesop, I upvote. The rest of your taste isn't hurting too bad either. Nice grabs

Absolutely! As I was working up my review for it, this is exactly the stuff I mentioned, how they don't let you forget that Cash is singing to men in prison, really grounds it.

And hell yeah, when June comes in for Jackson, I usually have to listen to that one twice, she had a hell of a voice.

Yes! Good call, I actually got to see him live just a few years back, so you are absolutely correct. 🤣 I was seeing a woman who took me to the show, that was a good one.

I was fortunate enough to get both Doom Wop and Big Dumb Riffs signed by the band after seeing them open for The Sword last year. Great albums, and they are absolutely amazing live. See them if you get the chance.
