No matter how much Microsoft tweaks up the X-Box hardware, it is still not a Playstation or Nintendo console. Those have the games people want to play.

Oh, the humanity!

The US constitution's copyright clause says "Article I, Section 8, Clause 8: [The Congress shall have Power . . . ] To promote the Progress of Science and useful Arts, by securing for limited Times to Authors and Inventors the exclusive Right to their respective Writings and Discoveries." That is based on Queen Anne's Law from England, the worlds first copyright law, which was the ruling class' reaction to the Gutenberg press. That invention threatened their stranglehold over the flow of information. The original 1790 copyright law in the US allowed for a 14 year term renewable only once. They understood that this was locking up ideas as property, which is a form of censorship. That is why its length and scope were strictly limited. Now, it is nearly perpetual and covers all kinds of frivolous entertainment that is clearly not the useful arts. Popular Music, Hollywood movies and anything on the idiot box are only frivolous entertainment.

They will NOT say Domo Arigato to Mr. Roboto!

The second launch will have more booms and autotune on the vocals... We built this city We built this city on rock and roll Built this city We built this city on rock and roll Say you don't know me or recognize my face Say you don't care who goes to that kind of place Knee deep in the hoopla, sinking in your fight Too many runaways eating up the night Marconi plays the mamba, listen to the radio, don't you remember? We built this city, we built this city on rock and roll We built this city, we built this city on rock and roll Built this city, we built this city on rock and roll Someone's always playing corporation games Who cares, they're always changing corporation names We just want to dance here, someone stole the stage They call us irresponsible, write us off the page Marconi plays the mamba, listen to the radio, don't you remember? We built this city, we built this city on rock and roll We built this city, we built this city on rock and roll Built this city, we built this city on rock and roll It's just another Sunday in a tired old street Police have got the choke hold, oh, then we just lost the beat Who counts the money underneath the bar? Who rides the wrecking ball into our guitars? Don't tell us you need us 'cause we're the ship of fools Looking for America, coming through your schools Don't you remember? (Remember) Marconi plays the mamba, listen to the radio, don't you remember?

The song, Grinder has become hilarious years later,,, Never straight and narrow I won't keep in time Tend to burn the arrow out of the line Been inclined to wander Off the beaten track That's where there's thunder And the wind shouts back Grinder Looking for meat Grinder Wants you to eat

There is nothing on AM but hate talk. It has become a public nuisance that spreads hate and division. Since it is too lo-fi for music, it is not good for anything but talk. Let it die.

Between data compression and the loudness war killing dynamic range, many are convinced that digital sounds computerized and artificial. Analog captures actual sound waves in recording and re-creates them in playback. Many prefer that even if there are some clicks and pops.

The party leader incited the first putsch in the history of the republic and instead of abolishing him, the party rallied around him and expunged the members who tried to hold him accountable. A desire to overthrow elections is the definition I'm using.

Tell me, does that juvenile begging the question stuff ever work for you in real life?

> The people who pull their strings know exactly how to get them angry at the wrong people.

Exactly.

The best propaganda capitalizes on truthful grievance and
directs low information people to the wrong conclusions.

Because they would rather prop up fascism than spend that money on their own progressive candidates.

Its not like any of those fascists needed the help, they all easily won their primary races because maga voters voted for them.

It was just cynical playing with fire that harmed the party's credibility. You can't tell people the country is on the brink of fascism and then spend money helping fascists if you want anyone to believe you. They were damn lucky that the ~5 fascists they ran some ads for didn't actually win in the general.

His business partner, FTX CEO Ryan Salame spent money on maga.

Salame spent about $24M, and the largest single spend that either of them made was about $2.5M to mitch mcconnel's PAC, the senate leadership fund.

It should not surprise anyone that Reason, a koch bros front, neglected to mention any of that. Nor that the so-called liberal media left Salame out of almost all their reporting too.

I would not pay so much as a penny for eternity if there were commercials.

Standard time matches our circadian rhythms. It is the one we should keep.

LPs are bulky, and don't play in the car, so a lot have decided to just endure the loudness war and other issues with digital for the sake of convenience.
