It was Jann Wenner, former Rolling Stone owner/editor, who said that he only wanted to write about "philosophers of rock ’n’ roll" for a book he wrote called "The Masters".

You know, Joni was not a philosopher of rock ’n’ roll. She didn’t, in my mind, meet that test. Not by her work, not by other interviews she did. The people I interviewed were the kind of philosophers of rock.

I recently got The Secret Public on CD and spent yesterday evening listening to it. Plenty of interesting LGBT+ history and there are some really great songs on there - the 60s songs really appeal to me, especially the girl groups, but there's also some good tough 70s funk and disco.

I don't know if I've been listening to anything that's relevant to Sneer Club.

Rationalwiki users later voted to disaffiliate from the discord server for reasons largely unrelated to what I'm having flashbacks about.

I don't make the rules, so you'd have to consult whoever does make the rules. I'm not really sure who that is though

The solution for people in extreme poverty with zero access to healthcare is to get them healthcare, not to boil oceans so that silicon valley people can get rich from giving them disastrously bad medical advice.

I would definitely make lots of extremely boring posts about old bands in a music sub. Hmmm, maybe it would be a bad idea....

Surely this is 3 or 4 different anti-gun control tropes all smashed together.

I had just been looking at their website or I wouldn't have caught it, lol.

I think Yeah Nah Pasaran have done some coverage of technofascism and TESCREAL.

You should definitely pitch a show. You could have an evil AI as a co-presenter.
