Comment Re:MTV dead with cable TV decline (Score 1) 33

This is really only applicable to pop music though, there is and has been great music still being produced. Every decade of pop music has your breakout acts and then the me-too's that follow. Even back in the 50's and 60's a lot of tape and vinyl was wasted on shite.

Music like most arts abides by Sturgeon's law to some percent it's just that today with digital recording there's way more of it.

AI music will fill the role of music that you don't actually listen to but that's it, or at least, I do not understand the appeal of AI music in any form, the very concept seems useless and I think AI music as "music" will be soundly rejected, but those companies will try by all means to make it happen.

Sure but like everything at the Pentagon this would have to be like a 10+ year project, and yeah it'd never be 100%.

But it should be policy from here on out, it really makes a lot of sense to have a "sovereign" OS and you know, we all pay enough MS taxes directly as it is.

YouTube and social media kinda ate the entire music video market but bands are still making them.

If you go on some of those free steaming services like pluto.tv there are still music video channels, which is fun to check out now and again, particularly as they at least have genre and time period specific channels so it's a bit more focused.

And no matter what aisle you sit on they are worth reading, we complain about the news so much but they are an org that is on the ground breaking stories.

Also nothing wrong with this legislation and really the next step I'd prefer to see is the DoD develop the skill-set and human capital that it manage these systems themselves and they don't need the services of a Microsoft or an Amazon. Isn't there or shouldn't there be an IT equivalent to Army Corp of Engineers?

Motherfucker not all of us live in 13-second clips

Even then the first clip is speaking about refugees and Biden was ready to sign the Lankford bill which would have greatly reformed that system which did need fixing!

The second clip has such an egregious edit that I can't take it seriously, like seriously, if this is your media consumption then I am not suprised by your lack of any insight on the topic.

The third clip is Biden advocating for not dehumanizing refugees but increasing the capacity to process them as the law states. You do like following the law right?

So now, the answer to my question is no, you don't have those clips of them saying that, you have to construct this simulacrum of thoughts. I'm all good chief, enjoy getting your news from "InqvisitorMagnvs" jesus h christ.

Nowadays, conservatives are fighting moderate-centrism. They’re less likely to win that battle.

They're fighting liberalism, the small-L concept of liberalism that is. We hope they don't win that one.

"If conservatives become convinced that they can not win democratically, they will not abandon conservatism. The will reject democracy."

It's not "news" as in what you'd read daily but ProPublica does good work IMO.

There's always the big consortium agencies, AP and Reuters.

There really is no single answer, the answer today is not so much what and where the news comes from but how you read it, don;t just trust headlines, read the articles, interpret what theyre saying and check where they are getting their info from, so many outlets today have no people on the ground, they just copy and commentate.

Yes, even in your source it isn't "disband ICE and do away with all immigration law and enforcement" its "replace ICE with something else"

Before 9/11 we had immigration law and the INS

Law enforcement as a concept did not suddenly come into being in 1930 with the formation of the FBI, it existed before that point you know. We also didn't have a CIA until post WWII does that mean there were no intelligence operations taking place?

Once again, can you post me a single clip of Biden or his cabinet advocating or even using the term "open borders" or any of them saying "we shouldnt enforce immigration law"
