So... Are they going to publish those voting tallies publically yet? What's taking the CNE so long on that?

That's basically what the person they offered to speak said they wanted to say. It would build up Kamala and denigrate Trump like everyone else speaking. But they wouldn't have it for some strange reason.

This is why the US has always been a terrible mediator for these talks.

That's a really great idea! I'd 100% watch that.

Shit we're not going to be able to believe anything soon, are we?

You're changing the subject when people bring up Democrats doing it by bringing up Trump even though Biden has been the one enabling it for the last 10 months. And you're arguing with other people trying to criticize the enablers of the genocide elsewhere in this thread.

What doesn't hold up in Terminator 1? I always figured the movie was bare bones enough that it holds up fine. There's only a few sci-fi elements in it because it basically takes place in the modern world. I guess because it takes place in the 80's it's making the timeline difficult?

While in a perfect world I agree, what else are they going to do? They're running out of people and are desperate for soldiers. Hopefully they can parlay their gained territory in Russia for some good concessions in the negotiations.

Then why are you defending the people perpetrating a genocide?

Who do you think is choosing to veto these UN resolutions? The House? No these people are appointed by the Executive, which is controlled by Biden.

I thought you guys hate whataboutism.

Did you actually read the speech? Because it makes a good point. They're trying to tell her how to beat Trump. Supporting Israel isn't actually necessary to beat Trump if poll after poll is actually saying a majority of Democrats disapprove of the way they're running the war. It hurts more than anything when you support unpopular policies.

The subgenre is called "bebop." Get some Charlie Parker albums. He recorded some great songs with Dizzy Gillespie. Jet is talking to Spike about talking to Charlie Parker in a dream in the casino episode, iirc. The style of music is fast tempo, quick key changes, novel chord progressions, and virtuoso performers making new music out of standards. It's analogous to the storytelling in the manga, and to the characters themselves. Each is supremely competent, acting on their own, but complementing and supporting the others to make something extraordinary. The whole soundtrack is a wide range of genres, and it was all written and performed by Yoko Kanno and the Seatbelts, which is especially impressive because of the sheer variety of styles.

Tank! is more driving trumpets and melodic than classic bebop, so you might also check out some Wynton Marsalis. He played what is called "neo-bop" which was a popular revival of bebop in the 1980s.

Jazz aficionados would probably classify Tank! as "hard-bop" of which there are many great albums and musicians. John Coltrane's A Love Supreme was one of my favorite albums growing up, but that was the tail end of his hard-bop phase. I would probably suggest Art Blakely and the Jazz Messengers album "Hard Bop" as the quintessential hard-bop album.

 

But I'm having bad luck. Our local 70mm theater site won't even open, it must be overloaded. I'm hoping other people are having issues, too, so I can get good seats.

Anyone else have any luck?
