Thank you, Mister Mayor. I hope Kamala picks you as her running mate later this month.

Exactly what I'm looking for. Will have to look for more by them. Thanks!

Disco beats not necessarily my thing, but that Purple Disco Machine track definitely on the right track of what I'm looking for. Might look into more by Agnes.

That Sonique song must have been in a film or something, I do think I actually recognize that (and of course the original of that Donna Summer track haha).

Definitely going to look into more by KNOWER. Thanks!

Thanks! The We Rob Rave track sounds like something from Jet Set Radio, fun.

Absolutely incredible. He's edited himself into the debate. He has a fake moderator tossing him questions. He has an actual audience in the room with him applauding his zingers he's saying to no one.

I'll build on your 2nd and 4th ones. I truly do not understand the appeal of the TikTok aesthetic. Vertical video is already really ugly. But now we're doing incredibly bad green screen of a floating head talking at me like I'm holding up the self-checkout line at a grocery store. And then the auto subtitles that I cannot turn off that change colors or some other nonsense rather than focusing on readability that are autogenerated and contain numerous errors (subtitles are very good, but should be VTT or the like files that can be turned on and off so the platform can place them properly on the screen). Then there's just an ugly UI laid over it along with seeing reactions pop up on screen further just making a mess of styles and crowding the screen.

I feel like some old guy that loves paintings seeing these new fangled moving pictures everyone is talking about and not understanding how anyone can willing fry their attention span on them.

Guys, I’m starting to think elevating people just because your political opponents disliked them a decade ago on the internet is not a good strategy for building political movements.

I had not, but I'm listening now and it's hitting the spot. Thanks!

One of them pillars I built my gym playlist around. It's like Rage Against the Machine fan fiction and I'm fine with that.

 

Arf arf is back, baby. It's good again.

 

Now Eventually You Do Plan to Have Cyberpunk In Your Cyberpunk Game Franchise, Right?

 

Thanks to @artificialset@hexbear.net who posted their collab with Purity Ring, introduced me to be the band. I normally listen to hardcore punk and metal. Not sure why this noise pop group did it for me.

 

Seems like Scott has some major health issues. Really sad news all around.

 
 

Just wanted to recommend this free program from Stronger by Science if you're looking for a powerlifting based program. It's a little wonky, the 28 "programs" are basically modules for the press (bench or overhead), deadlift and squat divided up by frequency, intensity and/or volume. You then combine them together for a program.

I have an incredibly hard time building upper body strength and size. My legs have always been good to me, I hit a 440 lbs squat during this for example. But I have never seen my arms peak above 16 inches around until after two months on this program where I went from about 15.75 to about 16.25 inches or so.

My legs also blew up over 27 inches around now, and that's fine and all. But it's summer. Suns out, guns out and all that.

Just wanted to pass it on if anyone is looking to for a change up in their lifting.
