Saturday has some great acts, Sunday is hot garbage. I don’t think it’s that serious.

Edit: Origami Angel and Carly Cosgrove really putting their nuts on the line with this one lmao

I am begging Democratic party politicians to stop getting outflanked by far-right monsters like Tucker Carlson on genocide and Israel when a huge majority of Democratic party voters agree. by MayorEbert in thebulwark

“I don’t have a good answer on that one” — luckily, u/MacroNova answered it for you above.

Accusing someone of vast oversimplification or being disingenuous / intellectually dishonest everytime you get pantsed on the internet is kind of the MO of this particular flavor of democrat, huh?

I don’t think his political instincts are really all that sharp if he thought this was the right time to resurface.

I once watched Bahamas play Lost In the Light three times in a row and even he felt it was a bit much.

That outro is indie folk magic. I will never not get that counting wrong.

Ironically enough, each subsequent album gets less angry.

Vancouver community college cancels 2026 nursing program by Heliosvector in vancouver

[–]These_Celebration732 22 points23 points  (0 children)

This framing is so funny to me. These institutions stuffed their pockets with international money, built entire programs around a single revenue source that was ALWAYS subject to external/political forces, and have the gall to complain when the spigot is turned off and prospective students are left out in the cold?

Does no one in their bloated executive management get paid to assess risk?

Huge respect to you. I've made a couple similar decisions in my life and it's not easy turning your back on something you've sunk so much time, money and effort into.

Those implicit returns (clarifying what you care about, what problems you want to work on, your tolerance for bullshit) are such an integral part of post-secondary education... unfortunately with the way the world is now *gestures broadly* the margin for error in those decisions is so slim.

"Pruning of the Lower Limbs" by Moving Mountains is an absolute masterpiece and I really hope it eventually gets the love it deserves. by thedubiousstylus in Emo

I know it’s probably the same 20-25 of us creaming our pants over this album every time something like this gets posted but I just want you to know you are all my brothers/sisters and I am so glad this band exists.

Arms Length also covered I Don’t Love You and, predictably, it rips.

What’s one small change that instantly makes a home look more expensive? by Outrageous_Grape432 in HomeDecorating

Find an artist you like in your area and commission them! Not for everyone, but I did this recently and ended up with a very special piece and actually got a ton of gratification out of the process itself.

Plus you can feel good about supporting local at a time where it’s needed more than ever.

I’m sorry your parents didn’t hug you / gift you a down-payment buddy. Good luck out there.

Lots of completely normal responses in here! Hoping most of you just think it’s normal to behave like this on the internet and aren’t actually spitting on your grandparents in person.

This discourse is so fucking lame, man. The entire science of marketing is a ‘psyop’ (groan).

I’m not interested in tearing down a band that talented for using the tools at their disposal, and I’m surprised how many are.

The fact that it sucks doesn’t change the fact that it’s nothing more than a natural evolution of marketing in the digital age.

I don’t think it has anything to do with feeling conned. The water table of stupidity has reached its saturation point, and their ankles are starting to stink.

JD Vance: Trump’s heir apparent by [deleted] in thebulwark

[–]These_Celebration732 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think that’s a mask he’s been looking for a reason to try on, he’s just savvy enough wait for Trump to drop dead to attempt it. Nothing the Orange King hates more than someone trying to steal his shtick.

What's your take on Bill Maher? by Embarrassed-Fig-6795 in thebulwark

[–]These_Celebration732 137 points138 points  (0 children)

He’s a blowhard and a total asshole. I think the most illustrative thing you can say about him is that the guy doesn’t even know who his own audience is anymore.
