What a lovely idea. Joined!

So the smaller group has to capitulate to the larger group every time? You think that's how political power works? That's not how the smaller group gets political power. It's through using the leverage hrye have to force compromise from the larger group if they want to win. The same thing smaller parties do in coalition systems.

The point is that Democrats have already expressed that they don't support the Palestinians. You're assuming they would despite every word and action to the contrary. You're playing what is while a genocide is happening RIGHT NOW from the people you're voting for.

Doesn't matter why they're doing it. The US didn't fight the Nazis out of the good of their hearts or they would've gone in before Pearl Harbor, but it's still good they did it.

Well I'd say the Houthi cause is more just, so not exactly balanced.

I figured they'd want to go all out to escalate the war further and try to get Trump elected. But maybe that's not worth starting a whole new front in their 4 front war, so they're just trying to save face for their racist, bloodthirsty population.

Yes, but slowly. Every time I go to the Reddit front page and just see astroturfing and vapid pop culture stuff, then go to the comments and see 75% repetitive bot comments, I realize how much that place sucks now. I want more niche discussion spaces, but I don't want reddit again anytime soon.

Huh. That explains all the times I basically waited until the last minute to study or finish some assignment lol.

Okay so they get to pressure Kamala with their votes but the Pro-Palestenian people can't? Pretty hypocritical.

[–] WanderingVentra@lemm.ee 2 points 2 days ago

I know it's not about Palestine, but that's exactly why this meme is ironic. Rather than joining with their fellow Palestinian-Americans and their allies to pressure Harris, Democrats are going the other way and demanding undying loyalty and no criticism or protest. They're basically sacrificing them for their own pet issues. It's kinda funny actually.

It doesn't matter. They're already covering for them as much as they can and they can only give so much. They're already vetoing for them at the UN, sending cops and SWAT at students, and demonizing them in the press. They've denied them speaking times at the DNC, only talked about Israel in interviews, and Biden has already said no one has supported Israel more than me. This is the Democrats btw.

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?
