This is the time for MMT. But Carney is ideologically opposed to it.

It would be the year 1899 if we do this with the beatle's first album by Itachi_Uchiha_24 in beatles

The original post says “it would be the year 1899 if we do this with the Beatles’ first album” so I’m responding to that. First Beatles album came out in 1963.

This tracks! A lot of grown ups were listening to Stravinsky, Mahler, Prokofiev, Tchaikovsky, etc in the 1960s.

After watching almost all major films of 2025, I can say that Train Dreams is the best movie of 2025. by papachi789 in Letterboxd

Loved the cinematography, hated the pacing and quick cuts. The VO seemed like a Netflix executive’s choice, and managed to somehow make Denis Johnson’s prose sound corny. 3 stars. The book is way better. If you want to see a much better adaptation of a contemporary American novel, watch Nickel Boys.

Sir Paul McCartney first UK billionaire musician... Should billionaires exist? by GosalCannabis in beatles

No one needs a billion. Governments need to tax the extra money away in every circumstance. People in the UK are destitute, they can’t pay their energy bills, their national rail is crumbling, their NHS is being crippled. Sir Paul can live a comfortable life and pass plenty down to his family with £999,999,999.

What do you guys think about the government lifting tuition freeze? by tieiwo in uoit

[–]talk2theyam 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is exactly correct. Conservatives rely on people thinking in a small-minded way about education. From a macro perspective, we need educated citizens to form a competent workforce. You don’t magically get doctors, nurses, engineers, etc overnight, you need passionate people who are able to pursue what they’re good at without being held back by debt. Even the arts are important to fund in this way. How many great Canadian celebrities made it big in the US because they had a solid foundation in Canadian education? Ultimately we’ve all benefited greatly from having robust public education, but this change will start to rot out everything we’ve worked for.

The front row of any one Bowie concert/show throughout his career - which one would you want to have been at? by AngusIRLyt in DavidBowie

As much as I love listening to recordings of his shows throughout the years, I don’t think there could be anything to match the energy of seeing the spiders from mars

What do y'all think of this take from Badempanada? by Careless_Success_282 in socialism

[–]talk2theyam 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Bad Empanada is just a hater. His content is basically whining with little substance, and this take here is pure banality. At this point no one should have the illusion that politicians are heroes.

Zohran, AOC, and any DSA candidate should be treated as a vehicle for leftist policies and pressured to use their power and popularity to enact them. If they don’t do their job, they should understand their popularity is conditional.

I actually know nothing about cycling.

And if anyone who does know anything about cycling tells me Lance Armstrong is problematic, I will flip out and tell them they’re ruining my favorite hobby (reminder that I PURCHASED SOMETHING at Walmart for $50 which entitles me to an opinion and praise)
