I sometimes hear people talk about "The Monoculture" of the past, and I don't think they know what they're talking about.

Lots of the past gets retro modded to fit the narrative of now. Always has.

When people talk about music of the 80s they rarely mention any of the music my friends and I listened to. And it was mostly not super obscure, most of it was on major labels. Back when major labels did that sort of thing.

@Holberg

Some of the ones @TheZorse mentioned, The Replacements, Hanoi Rocks, Judas Priest, Crowded House, Psychedelic Furs, Adam Ant, Echo and the Bunnymen, Love and Rockets, Public Enemy, Age of Chance, Pop Will Eat Itself, Sigue Sigue Sputnik, Jason and the Scorchers, Georgia Satellites, Steve Earle...if I had any kind of memory it would help.

Plus all the indie and punk stuff.

I listened to a LOT of Prince, but the 80s wasn't just Prince and Madonna and that one Modern English song.

Expanding the Court is a simple way to make Alito's opinion about anything irrelevant.

I don't understand the hubbub about this commencement speech, I was assured that Boomers are the problem.

Seems like most of those Nazi Boomers out there attacking and killing people are awfully young.

NY Times: After the 2020 election, as some Trump supporters falsely claimed that Biden had stolen the office, many of them displayed a startling symbol outside their homes, on their cars and in online posts: an upside-down American flag. One of the homes flying an inverted flag during that time was the residence of SCOTUS Justice Alito. https://www.nytimes.com/2024/05/16/us/justice-alito-upside-down-flag.html?unlocked_article_code=1.sU0.dA3q.762sBv-t9c_6&smid=url-share

Today, Texas Governor Greg Abbott pardoned a convicted murderer and virulent racist who, after writing text messages suggesting he would kill a protester and then claim self-defense, killed a protester and claimed self-defense. I wrote this a year ago:

I believe the polls are wrong, but I also believe the Nazis will do anything possible to overthrow the government.

I'm sure they have other plans if it doesn't look like they can win an election.

Google Search adds “web” filter as it pivots to AI-focused search results

Google Search now has an option to search the "web," which is not the default anymore.

I really don't understand the profitable part of Google giving "AI" results instead of web results. How could that possibly not be more expensive for them?

I do understand the potential for political propaganda though.

Someone on here recommended some music on Bandcamp saying it was in the same vein as GAS (and a couple other names that I don’t remember). Checking it out now and it is really REALLY like GAS. Now, I’m big fan of GAS and this is a fairly inventive facsimile but still. It’s pretty funny how indebted it is.

What advice would you give to someone just starting out in a relationship?

Mine might sound kind of dark in relation to the question, but here goes:

People change, and they should, it's part of being a person. Some people are lucky, and they change in the same direction, but some don't, and that's okay too. There's no shame in leaving a relationship or changing the nature of a relationship that no longer serves you. We are all taught that every relationship, whether romantic or friendship, is supposed to last forever, but nothing is forever, and forcing something that no longer works, just ends in anger and bitterness. Knowing when to let go is as important as knowing when to hold on through a rough patch, and how to know either of those things is the most cliché advice of all, COMMUNICATE.

If we have so much good AI tech why can't anyone make a spell check that I can't stump?

A few times a week I must go to the dictionary (like a cavewoman!) or search the web since I've mangled some word in such a way that there are no suggestions. It's just "wrong" what's wrong with it? Who knows!

Could it be a scientific name and just not in the dictionary? Maybe! Could it be an obscure word with a pretentious UK spelling? Probably! Could it be wrong? Also probably.

Do this first AI lords.

Spellcheck, spam filtering, and search are all hit or miss and not getting any better. The biggest companies in history have worked on them for decades.
But sure, "AI" is going to work.

This is horrifying! Three 10-year-old girls in Tennessee married men aged 24, 25 and 31 in 2001. An 11-year-old who married a 27-year-old woman in the same state in 2006. Children as young as 12 were granted marriage licences in Alaska, Louisiana and South Carolina, while 11 other states allowed 13-year-olds to wed. More than 1,000 children aged 14 or under were granted marriage licences.
