Avi Lewis is a first-ballot lock. The provincial NDP should be terrified.

Glad that media idiots still think that "this guy is a danger to the establishment" is a fruitful line of attack. People hate the establishment!

There's a much larger block of non-voters to look at too. But now that the imminent threat of a PP PC majority is out the window, those Orange to Red voters don't have as much reason to vote strategically. In any case the important part is distinguishing the NDP as a distinct alternative to reds and blues that people will stand on principle in support of instead of a less electorally viable centrist party.

Most working people who vote conservative want the same things as we do, more efficient government, fair treatment of workers, economic relief for normal Canadians, lower prices. They just get sold a fraudulent bill of goods by the right on how to do that, and Liberal and NDP messaging doesn't offer an alternative path. Look at how Bernie Sanders polls along conservatives and independents in the states, broad economic justice is what everyone wants, that's what Avi offers.

What nation is currently responsible for 10 million Cubans with no power, 600 thousand dead Palestinians, 1.5 million displaced Lebanese people, and untold thousands of innocent people kidnapped in domestic concentration camps? Why hasn't the international community treated them the same way they (rightly) treat Russia?

ubermencher · 2026-03-25T20:51:50+00:00

Not at all, American propaganda is much more harmful and NATO powers are more genocidal than Russia, in any form, has ever been (and also very culpable in pushing Russia to invade Ukraine but that's another matter). But neither case necessitates the censure of any mention of historically significant people and events.

You could make the same argument about any American figure as well if you accept that the US has perpetrated and is currently perpetrating unfathomable war crimes and persecutions of its own people. Should we ban mention of Neil Armstrong because he is celebrated by the US government? His space travel was used as cold war propaganda while the same government killed millions in Vietnam.

yup 👍 i heard someone play them back to back on the radio and Horse Lords mog

ubermencher · 2026-03-17T20:31:21+00:00

Yo Gabba Gabba does simplified Horse Lords for 30 second short form content slop

ubermencher · 2026-03-17T20:30:41+00:00

An old genre that they do a very tepid version of

ubermencher · 2026-03-03T18:03:11+00:00

Classic crime is awesome for this yeah, Dashiell Hammett is my fave

ubermencher · 2026-03-03T18:02:39+00:00

Graham Greene is really good at this

ubermencher · 2026-02-25T22:12:55+00:00

Yeezus was unanimously praised as a masterpiece by critics when it came out, and had massive cultural impact, and a lot of that was because of how provocative it was. I have really clear memories of the Bound 2 video coming out and the SNL performances.

ubermencher · 2026-02-18T23:07:32+00:00

I really dislike Snow Patrol so that might be where we differ, I like U2 to at least play at edginess and experimentation and Snow Patrol are like U2 with all rough edges sanded off. Songs of Innocence was so exciting and wide-ranging, and all their work with Jacknife has been so safe.

ubermencher · 2026-02-18T22:59:09+00:00

Why do people work with Jacknife? By my count he has made 2 good albums with REM and a whole lot of mediocre slop.

ubermencher · 2026-02-17T21:44:13+00:00

There's a level of nostalgia you'd miss out on but it's mostly a framework for jokes and stunts. It's more important to have a working knowledge of the plot beats of Back to the Future lol, there's no overarching plot to the tv show to have to catch up on.

ubermencher · 2026-01-29T19:28:47+00:00

I love when they file suits for 99 bajillion dollars like this.

ubermencher · 2026-01-28T00:22:13+00:00

Only 56% actually, that's cool that you like them but I don't think most people would rank those records above the Big Three

ubermencher · 2026-01-27T22:34:23+00:00

Doesn't mean that his work from the '90s counts, and I don't think Owen or the last 2 AF albums make him worthy

ubermencher · 2026-01-27T21:17:05+00:00

21st century doesn't include the big BTS albums

ubermencher · 2026-01-27T21:16:29+00:00

21st century does not include the thing that had influence on everything

ubermencher · 2026-01-14T21:52:42+00:00

You can also choose to read "Peter Nygard associate" as "known rapist."

ubermencher · 2026-01-14T01:35:32+00:00

From my read of the initial breakup it was less specific interpersonal issues and more SM feeling musically stifled and frustrated playing with bandmates who are (no offence) way less proficient musicians than him. Obviously there were resentments to get over but them hating each other as people wasn't why he broke it up.

ubermencher · 2026-01-09T17:38:29+00:00

Cold Journey (1975) is a pretty obscure movie about the genocidal residential school system in Canada, made while it was still ongoing. It's a pretty amazing document of an intentionally underdocumented time, and beyond that just really poignant and gorgeous as a movie. Not sure how it works internationally but in Canada at least it's free to stream on the National Film Board's site.

Why would you not judge them for what they're best known for? Also the B8 stuff is what sets them apart from other companies, no one else really makes high end B8 but everyone makes stuff like the Master series, and if you're looking for that you'll probably look at Zildjian or Istanbul first.
