Saw them in SF in 2024 and the venue was *packed and jumping*. For all their evils, streaming services have absolutely broken down barriers to access in music.
In recent times I’ve been really getting into two Austrian bands (Spiral Drive, and Mother’s Cake), and there’s no way I would have learned of either of them back in the day.

I know it’s trendy to bitch about public transit, but holy shit Sydney Trains are awesome. Frequent, quiet, comfortable, clean. Yes they don’t go everywhere, but for a remarkably low density large city (450 people / km², with a total population of 5M) it’s a pretty amazing service, especially given how well it’s integrated with regional services (Blue Mts, Newcastle, Wollongong, etc.). #RandomTrainOfThought #Foamer #Trains #Sydney #Straya

And that’s not even the least intelligible English there is. The only time I’ve been utterly incapable of understanding another English speaker was in a remote area of the South Island of New Zealand.

They speak English (Traditional), which is quite different to what’s spoken in Murica: English (Simplified).

Instructions: “prune interior branches continually to allow light and air through the tree. This helps prevent fungal infections.”

I’ve kind of realised that a good narrative-driven game (like Skyrim or RDR) replaces TV for me. There’s something about story that’s still important, but the interactivity adds to it (and TV can’t offer that).

Love this! I’m still playing Skyrim, fwiw - nothing else has quite grabbed me the way it did (flaws and all).

What also doesn’t help: Europeans (or citizens of other countries) comparing their electoral systems to the US’s. Anyone with half a brain cell can see the US system is *obviously* different and *obviously* undemocratic bullshit. As you so rightly kept reiterating to this person, what matters is how we go about improving it.

Is that the full story though? I read somewhere else earlier today that the form of dismissal Jack Smith requested leaves the door open for the case to be resumed / restarted when he leaves office (obvs far from perfect, but better than nothing).

Nah. The primary failing here was on the part of the WaPo editorial board for not telling Bezos to jump, and publishing *their* (not his) endorsement anyway. *That’s* why I canceled my WaPo subscription (independent of any action I might *also* take against Bezos’ other businesses).

I think it’s less about the (probably mostly hypothetical) “undecided”s, and more about the “can’t be arsed to vote”s. A debate where one candidate shits the bed may suppress turnout amongst that candidate’s base.

Would either of these people have died if they hadn’t taken ketamine?

Didn’t Matthew Perry die of a ketamine overdose? At least that’s my understanding given recent criminal indictments of the people who supplied it to him.
[edit] and to be clear - I’m not disagreeing with anything you’ve said, except the bit about no one dying from it

Just as the US system was state of the art in 1789, the Australian system is state of the art for 1900. Imagine what kinds of systems would be state of the art, given what we know today?

Was about to reply and say this. And not to digress (but I can’t help it as I love nerding out about this stuff), it’s one of the reasons why imho the parliamentary system is superior to the (garbage) US system - it actively encourages multiple parties, including established ones collapsing and new ones forming when citizens don’t feel like they’re being represented by the status quo. It may seem chaotic to those used to the (detrimentally) static US system, but this inherent “chaos” works to the benefit of the public, which I assume we all agree should be a priority for a system of governance.
Of course I’m under no delusions that the US would ever adopt a parliamentary system, sadly. NIH syndrome is too strong in this country.
