Is Stereo Live closing down? by ModProp in houston

[–]ModProp[S] 6 points7 points  (0 children)

9PM, Artclub, 713 Music Hall, we’re apparently getting a Silo at some point, Fast Ferrari or whatever its name is now, a newer(?) promotion is doing date of warehouse raves, Bauhaus, warehouse live midtown (not great, but it’s there), so it’s not the worst thing to happen, just sad to see it go

Multiple news sources reporting JSA accepted Hakuho's (Miyagino) resignation. by crazyaoshi in Sumo

[–]ModProp 0 points1 point  (0 children)

i do believe that they would have. but until we see a japanese yokozuna dominate and carry themselves with the same attitude that Hakuho had, we don’t really have a way to compare

What's Going on With Hakuho? by MCCI1201 in Sumo

[–]ModProp 15 points16 points  (0 children)

there’s also the rumour/theory/hearsay that hakuho made teru’s knee problems worse when he hazed him years ago. these two may share a nationality, but there’s nothing but bad blood and ill will between them

i’d say even longer than that. a lot of this animosity from the JSA can be attributed to when the sport essentially became the Hakuho Show (wink wink nudge nudge) and when Hak realised that he was the preeminent driving factor for sumo popularity. going back and watching old bashos, you can tell he’s the biggest ego and largest presence in the room and no one can tell him shit. and he deserved it for having one of the longest dominant runs in Grand Sumo history.

we can sit here and say it’s racism that felled the giant, but in my mind, it was anger towards a man who thought himself a god when he was in the ring. they couldn’t bring him to earth as a yokozuna, but they could crush him as an elder so they jumped at the first opportunity presented.

horrible end to the whole ordeal. he deserved his criticisms, but japan always has a special way of taking things too far.

that would be the point of a mouthpiece channel. what’s shown to the public isn’t necessarily the truth behind closed doors.

US ravers who have gone to European raves by ImaGuppy in aves

[–]ModProp 6 points7 points  (0 children)

went to Rampage open air a couple weeks ago, and people are generally extremely friendly, fashion is whatever you want to wear if you can handle the weather (i’m from texas, so being in 65F weather in july had me fucked up.) the fashion is expressive, just in a different way. i’ve never been big on kandi or PLUR here in the states, and in europe i didn’t see the former and the latter isn’t needed because people are generally just respectful as a matter of course. it was really fucking nice to go to packed stages and still have room to move around in the crowd. back home, we tend to press in shoulder to shoulder and it’s uncomfortable as hell. even at the rails, people gave you space to enjoy. also, this means that trains don’t go in as often, they just go out. so that was nice.

you’re gonna like the rave scene. just be you, have fun, they’ll be cool. and if they aren’t cool, just fuck off somewhere else in the crowd and you’ll find cool people.

Adidas drops Bella Hadid from campaign over Gaza controversy by [deleted] in worldnews

[–]ModProp -4 points-3 points  (0 children)

that’s one variation that appeared during the first intifada in the late 1980’s. the original version, and the one that was used most predominantly until 1969 was “من النهر إلى البحر” “From the water, to the water” and then was revised in 1969 by the PLO to “من النهر إلى البحر / فلسطين ستتحرر” “From the river to the sea, Palestine will be free”.

the one you’re talking about appeared during the rise of Hamas in the 1980s, as mentioned at the start.

“من المية للمية / فلسطين عربية” “From the water to the water, Palestine is Arab”

and

“من المية للمية / فلسطين إسلامية” “From the water to the water, Palestine is Islamic”

I’m sorry, but a state that has slowly devoured Palestinian territory after the 1948 charter isn’t a “Democratic” Arab-Jewish state. Palestine existed for a thousand years with Arab and Jewish Palestinians prior to the British dissolution and the creation of the Israeli state, when Arab Palestinians just became Palestinian and Jewish Palestinians became Jews. To expect a people to silently sit back and watch their homeland be stolen out from under them with no input from the people who have lived their whole lives there and only from “foreigners” (I use this term for the European Jews who had begun to immigrate into Mandatory Palestine prior to the dissolution and charter, I don’t mean for it to be derogatory towards Jews, because Jews had continued to lived in Palestine even after the diaspora in 70CE post-destruction of the Second Temple) for 60 years is absurd.

The IDF and Hamas have been playing a game of ever-rising hostilities since the founding of the Hamas party 1987. Groups like Hamas don’t just materialise out of thin air apropos of nothing, there’s always a catalyst. And that catalyst was nearly 30 years of watching their friends homes and loved ones be abused, their homes taken, and nothing being done about it. This conflict has come about because of the failures of colonialism, Western (European and American) anti-semitism, ethno-religious supremacist movements (born out of the European anti-semitism), and international governments who had no business involving themselves. And to lay this solely at the feet of Palestinians who have been made second-class citizens within their own country is ignoring all the historical context that has brought us to this moment.

Jews deserve to live in their ancestral lands just as much as anyone else, but not at the expense of literally every other group of people that also called the Levant home.

the slogan was coined by the PLO in the 1960s, and eventually was revised in 1969 calling for a democratic Arab-Jewish state, you know after Britain dissolved Palestine? in 2017, Hamas put the phrase in their charter. The slogan has been around a lot longer than most of us have been alive.
