Hey everyone! Are you about to snort some coke in the back of a nightclub in Okinawa circa 1984?
Well, then, you’re in luck! Maria Takeuchi has the perfect song in which to insufflate methyl (1R,2R,3S,5S)-3-(benzoyloxy)-8-methyl-8-azabicyclo[3.2.1]octane-2-carboxylate!
Yeah, this def reminds me of some of the Uni parties I went to Back In The Day . . .
*snorts a line and reminisces*
Nice groove, HM!
Which Okinawan nightclub? Club Fuji, Seventh Heaven, Mickey’s, Club Red? I need specifics!

That seems definitely the genre Takeuchi was working in. It also seems to be where current future funk is getting its samples from, having moved away from American soul and R&B.
yeah, that was the first thing in my head.
i was digging through piles of that stuff about 8 months ago and had sort of forgotten about it.
speaking of sampling
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-2WfYYBuBgs
that isn’t ‘city pop’ but a lot of japanese stuff in the early 80s had that same weird ‘underwater electronica’ sound running through it. in fact, lots of them also had water/ocean/fish related titles/covers/themes.

Love the brickphone in the gif. I never had one, but I knew a couple people who did. I even remember one swinging dick (in his own mind at least) who had a bag-phone.
When I was in Baltimore back in the 80’s/early 90’s the drug dealers would go to the movies with a bag-phone and a pager. It was annoying, but who was going to tell them?
In retrospect, I was the one who decided to go see New Jack City in Baltimore.
We had a bag phone when we lived in Maryland in the early 90s. It stayed in the car for the vast majority of it’s life.

Speaking of communist. So every year around this time here there is this festival near downtown called Comfest. Supposed to mean community fest but commiefest is probably more accurate which is why I don’t go. So there is beer sold there and it is traditional for a bunch of women to go around topless. Like a lot it women although as you can imagine most of them are not with looking at it so I’m told. So this has been going on for years but now the state wants to tell them that if they see any tatas they’re going to shut down beer sales. For one thing this isn’t a pay event, it’s a public park. They couldn’t kick out the topless women if they wanted to. Also, no pearl clutching, nanny, asshat taliban who would faint at the site of female flesh would every go to Comfest I’m the first place.
http://abc6onyourside.com/news/local/comfest-organizers-claim-state-wants-to-revoke-liquor-license-over-nudity
Also worth noting is that strip clubs can sell alchohol as long as the g-strings stay on. They can go topless. If they do full nudity it’s byob.

The reason why propaganda movies, driver’s ed videos, etc., suck, is because the primary goal is to convey the message. Entertainment is supposed to be the peanut butter around the pill. So, you make a movie that’s a comedy, but you want to make sure that it’s emphasizing how cool and fun and powerful or whatever women are. Sweet. But now you’re stopping and checking every gag, every casting decision, every direction, to make sure not that it makes the movie funny, but that it makes the movie funny AND conveys the message. Rather than just create authentic characters and write a funny script, you’re bogging it all down by focusing on the message. This is not a way to make a good film, nor is it an effective way to convey your message.
Comedy works on flaws. If you aren’t flawed, you’re not terribly funny. And that’s the problem with the “feminist empowerment” comedies. You can’t “empower” anyone by focusing on their foibles and shortcomings. And if you don’t focusing on their foibles and shortcomings, you’re not going to be making a very funny comedy.

It’s good, but it’s not BRAKING ZA LAWWWW…
Not sure if anyone has mentioned this yet, or not. But over at TSTSNBN, the staff have written an article about how the Russiangate thing is going to fuel the reemergence of Hillary for another run in 2020. And it’s not satire.
She must be a masochist. Nobody gets beat that bad and comes back for seconds unless they like it.
According to the author, when the special investigation finds proof that the election was hacked by the Russians and that caused Hillary to lose, she’ll be vindicated and possibly go on to win in 2020.
Wow what a boring narrative.
It’s hard to figure out if he’s suggesting this is his opinion or this is how the HRC team might spin it.
It’s Ira Stoll who’s been pretty good in the past. But this:
“She wouldn’t be the first presidential candidate to need multiple chances to win. Reagan lost in 1976 and won in 1980. Nixon lost in 1960 but won in 1968.”
just seems weird. Reagan lost a primary not the general.
Multiple chances, or multiple multiple chances?
The part about seriously thinking this ‘investigation’ is going to prove that Russia actually changed the results of the election is the part that really amazes me. Does anyone really believe that? I mean I know some crazy left wing nuts at least want to believe it, but…
I know one dope that is is wrapped around the axel about this Russia bullshit. It’s pathetic and he lives on twitter.
HAHA! That’s a good one! This woman is only going to pile up more dirty laundry between now and campaign season. Hell, maybe the Trump administration will investigate some of her crooked dealings and get an actual conviction, or at least some undeniable evidence.
Also, I don’t really think the personal health of presidential candidates is as big of a deal as it’s made out to be, but Hillary is only going to get older and collapse more frequently in public, and that’s going to kill her chances.
Hillary’s main nutrition source to stay alive is desiring power, so I wouldn’t be surprised if she tries again in 2020. However, unless the Democrats are officially the Stupid Party on top of being the Evil Party (which they honestly might just be), there’s no way that the 2020 candidate will be somebody that the Bernie wing disapproves of. That means no Cankles, no Booker, no Kamala, no McAuliffe, and no outside billionaires. It’ll be either be Warren or Bernie, depending on which one agrees to run.
After the Dem primary of 2008, you might have thought she’d learn the importance of the electoral system, or at least hired someone who got it. Apparently not. Psychotic moron.
I don’t think Ira Stoll is “staff”. he’s more like Chapman = he’s outside help, that doesn’t always help.
his NYT nail salons thing was awesome.
his suggestion that Hillary would rise like a phoenix from the ashes of Mueller’s investigation… was not..

You can’t make this stuff up: earliest use of the term ‘social justice’ in the United States was for an anti-Semitic periodical.
Kinky use of the term “social justice”: school choicers in Indiana coopted the term for their own purposes and successfully rammed through their agenda.
That’s a much more accurate use of the term “social justice”. I don’t get why the supposedly compassionate “progressives” want inner city minority kids to be trapped in these ghetto hellhole schools.
Because union protectionism, a trade guild, is more important than the education of unmoneyed darkies.

Well there has been a trend in other countries (haven’t heard it stateside) about issuing PDWs (personal defense weapons) aka mini-carbines/P90s/etc to tankers and similar jobs (like the M1 carbine in WWII).
Surprised it hasn’t caught on more – it’s not as though we expect our tankers to get out and have a firefight but in a worst case scenario and they gotta hoof it, something that takes up less space is probably better.

Portland Reporter Fired For Posting Video of Muslim Speaker Saying Atheism is Punishable by Death
https://heatst.com/culture-wars/portland-reporter-fired-for-posting-video-of-muslim-speaker-saying-atheism-is-punishable-by-death/
That’s been posted here before. Now did the panel member actually advocate that or describe what happens in a Muslim country? Because as a statement of fact, it’s pretty accurate, particularly for an apostate.
He said in an Islamic country, gays should be put to death.
I watched the linked videos. Sounds to me more like he is describing how it is versus personal advocacy. I’m not hearing a personal opinion that gays should be killed.
*atheists, that is
***
The unnamed Muslim student speaker took a question from the audience, who asked him if the religion permitted killing atheists and apostates for their religious views. The panelist responded in the affirmative, stating that under “Quranic law,” being a non-believer is considered criminal in countries that impose it.
He added: “So in that case, you are given the liberty to leave the country. I am not going to sugarcoat it. So if you go to a different country…but in a Muslim country, a country based on Quranic law, disbelieving or being an infidel, is not allowed, so you will be given the choice.”
***
I’m not hearing him advocate for killing people or saying that he personally supports it, just him describing how it is in Islamic countries.

My wife bought some organic grapes tonight, because that was all the store had. We are not organic grocery buyers we usually make it a point to not buy organic. I opened the bag up to find a couple spiders. My wife is deathly terrified of spider’s. Needless to say we are never buying anything organic ever again. I looked into it and it turns out organic farmers use spiders for pest control.

I don’t know when people are going to learn. Never call the police. They are not here to help you.
But but… “Don’t be afraid to call 911 for help,” she said. “This could be a life or death situation.”. Next time they’ll be charged with attempted manslaughter.
“Mom discovers why you never, ever, ever, ever call the cops.”
I got shut in a car door once. I was like six or seven. Family’s old Aerostar. Sliding door caught my fingers. PAINFUL. You know what mom did? Yelled at my brother, then yelled at me for not minding my fingers.
No cops involved. Pretty sure she’d still be in prison if our norms held then.

New Jersey high school under fire for erasing Trump slogans from yearbook
http://www.cnn.com/2017/06/11/us/trump-high-school-yearbook/index.html
New study shows that libertarians basically barely exist as a political group in America.
http://nymag.com/daily/intelligencer/2017/06/new-study-shows-what-really-happened-in-the-2016-election.html
“Well, obviously, they exist — just not in any remotely large enough numbers to form a constituency. It’s not just hardcore libertarians who are absent. Even vaguely libertarian-ish voters are functionally nonexistent.
The study breaks down voters into four quadrants, defined by both social and economic liberalism. But virtually everybody falls into three quadrants: socially liberal/economically liberal; socially conservative/economically conservative; and socially conservative/economically liberal. The fourth quadrant, socially liberal/economically conservative, is empty:”
But it’s all our fault
U mad, bro?
I think his point is that the Democrats should just ignore the libertarians, which we all knew they would do anyway regardless of any promises.
I think it’s more that news media should stop writing about them, lest some sensitive young minds become drawn into their web of corruption.
On second thought, you did say “Democrats”…
Reason isn’t my organ.
I haven’t really scrutinized the methodology to see if I agree.
Nevertheless, it dashes my hopes that maybe there were libertarians out there voting for one of the other parties for pragmatic reasons. There just aren’t.
Well, as typical with Chait, neither the report nor the data say what he claims they are saying:
Sure, if you accept the fallacy of equivocation inherent in the theoretical framework of the original report and Chait’s interpretation of it, then sure, libertarians don’t exist. But when people use the oversimplification of economically conservative, socially liberal to describe libertarians, they usually don’t incorporate identity politics within the semantic field of “social”.
Stop punching down at a man who has to steal his sport coats off dead bodies.
Well, that’s what I was going to scrutinize? I want to know what the fuck they think “socially liberal” and “economically conservative” actually mean. Because half the questions seem geared to social resentment.
The claim is also contradicted by the 5th question of the survey:
If, within the sample (n = 8000), outside of the 2 major party’s candidates, the 3rd largest share of votes went to the Libertarian Party’s candidate, in what universe does it make sense to claim these data support the fact that “libertarians don’t exist as a constituency”? If anyone is “punching above their weight,” it’s the death-cult known as the Green Party.
death-cult known as the Green Party.
I had to stifle a hearty chortle. ::straightens ascot::
Oh, it’s Chait? Pfft. Thanks for the warning, I’m not going to even bother skimming it.
Nope. It’s smoke ’em if you got ’em at this point, boys. I hope that I get old before I die.
In the last presidential election, the Libertarian candidate got about 3% of the vote. For comparison, about 4% of Americans believe the world is controlled by a cabal of reptile space aliens.

Why can’t I be both those things?
To be fair, the guy selling the water filters and supplements is also a libertarian, he’s just the batshit insane kind.
I beg to differ, just looking at the congressional elections in my district over the last 15 years have gone from Libertarians getting .6% of the vote to 8%, with steady growth each election.
In Canada’s last election the Libertarian vote increased by 500%, and they’re not even a third party here like in the U.S.
So there’s what, 10 libertarians up there now?
I think that if the majority of libertarians compromised with conservatives on the abortion question, there would be far more people willing to identify as libertarian. As a pro-life libertarian myself, that issue is one of a couple of things that tends to keep conservatives fearful of libertarian ideas.
Also, I wouldn’t be surprised if libertarian platforms are gaining ground among the young, especially young conservatives. The socially conservative/big government types sound like a relic from a different generation, like the 70s Dixiecrats or the 90s Blue Dogs.
Libertarianism and the alt-right are basically the future of conservatism in the West, most of the existent conservative/Tory groups have pissed away their support by both failing to actually do anything and focusing on idiotic policies.
The alt-right are a tiny, mostly irrelevant group of identitarians that are trying to give a platform to anti-leftists. The vast majority of young conservatives that I know are either full-blown libertarian or are trending libertarian. Very few alt-righters unless you count Pepe trolls as actual alt-righters, which I don’t.
The larger ‘alt-right’ is more a coalition of anti-leftists than anything else. The Spencerite branch may be restricted and uncommon, but there’s an overwhelming focus in modern young conservatism towards identity. Take that as you will.
Chait? MISLEADING USE OF DATA?? WELL I NEVER
Can we just sic Hihn on him?
Since this apparently my night to listen to 60’s chanteuses, here’s Linda Rondstadt with Long Long Time.
Things YOU can’t do.
Wait, who’s got Coke?
Got a couple liters, dude.
…oh, wait…
Lit–er–kil–lit—er, kilos, couple of kilos, dude.
If you’re talking about syrup concentrate, I know a guy with a seltzer hookup. We’ll make a fortune!
I’ve got a can of New Coke, but it’ll cost you way more than a baggie of nose-candy. More than a 5gal drum of talc too.
Since I’m not a drug user, I’ll just drink 3 times as much and then kill all of your buzzes.
For J-Pop I prefer Kahimi Karie

Who was the dude who would pay 10,000 dollars to fuck Dora the Explorer in the ass?
I’m beginning to see where he’s coming from.
It’s like subconsciously I don’t want to win this tournament. There I was a chip leader and I allow myself to get caught up in a hand where I don’t have good cards but I flop 2P but when the other guy shoves I figure he has a set I’m almost sure, he’s not really a bluffer so I’m 90% sure he has it. But I call anyway.
Boom, just like that I’m crippled and a few hands later I’m out. I cashed again but I want to notch a win!
:head-desk: :head-desk: :head-desk:
I think I see the problem. “he’s not really a bluffer so I’m 90% sure he has it. (insert-I want da money, Lebowski-here) But I call anyway.”

Hey HM? Is your favorite style of architecture Gothicc?
Yes.
Those are some beautiful arches.
Searching for thicc Goths brought me to this. Submitted without further comment for HM’s amusement.
Those dogs are so black they are dawgz.
I also found this, which is more in line with the original topic.
You have my attention, sir!
Glenn Loury (Prof Econ, Brown ) and John McW. (Prof some totally useless non-STEM shit @ another fake-ivy) talk about those crazy SJW types on College Campuseses
figured i’d share since i have it on in the background. i cut to mcW’s “this is some nasty shit” into, which skips a lot of the preamble.
Hey, fuck you!
Though, as I’ve said before, McWhorter is completely full of shit in his utterly obstinate stance against linguistic relativism.
I don’t really know his professional views. i read/listened to “this magnificent bastard tongue” like a year ago. i wasn’t struck by anything obstinate. not that’d have grokked it anyway.
re: non-STEM:
just accept it. the future is all going to be calculators and shit, people who read books are just wasting there time.
Not to mention that McWhorter’s work in creolization is more solidly grounded in empirical data able to be falsified through rigorous diachronic phono-morpho-syntatic analysis than any economist’s work could ever hope to be.
Is this an entry for “Real or Fake?”
All of those hyphens mean something, and they add up to an actual coherent thought, but HM is really stretching English’s agglutinive properties.
I could have wrote phono-morpho-syntatic-lexico-semantic, but that would have been over-egging the pudding.
Oh, and Menzerath’s law applies. 🙂
I.E., Java vs C.
At that point you may as well just switch to Magyar and be done with it.
The thing is Grimm’s law and Verner’s law actually can be tested.
Loury is worried about the right wing reaction to left wing violence. Something along the lines of “There are right wing people out there looking for a fight.” If that were true, wouldn’t there have been a spat of violence by right wingers during Obama’s terms?
*spat, spite, spate* I don’t speak Latin.

Exactly, that’s right. I’m a fan of the political scientist Karen Stenner, who divides the groups on the right into three: The laissez-faire conservatives or libertarians who believe in maximum freedom, including economic freedom and small governance; the Burkean conservatives, who fear chaos, disruption, and disorder — these are many of the conservative intellectuals who have largely opposed Trump.
And then there are the authoritarians, who are people who are not necessarily racist but have a strong sense of moral order, and when they perceive that things are coming apart and that there’s a decrease in moral order, they become racist — hostile to alien groups including blacks, gay people, Mexicans, etc. This is the core audience that Trump has spoken to.
That’s not to say that most people who voted for him are authoritarians, but I think this is the core group that provides the passion that got him through the primaries.

In case, like me, you didn’t know this existed.
along those lines….
i listen to youtube music all day long. i have one of the most eclectic ‘recommends’ you can imagine.
and this fucking video has been in my recommends nonstop for like… nearly 2 years. I have no idea why. normally when you listen to them, they’ll go away, but it keeps coming back.
its not even in a genre i listen to very much. It must be some algorithm that insists i’m in CategoryX and everyone in CategoryX must get Suburban Lawns from now until the end of time.
Went to Talking Heads right after that. Kind of makes sense.
I blame it all on an excess of Devo, no-wave, post-punk stuff about 2-3 years ago. its like herpes.
This keeps popping up in my recommends. I don’t know what I’m supposed to do with it.
get a job DJing in vegas and play that while pouring bottled water over women in bikinis and doing a guido fist-pump
Yup, I get a lot of ethnic bullshit in my recs for some reason. No, Youtube, I have no interest whatever in whatever it is Mexicans call music.
YOUTUBE RECONQUISTA!!VIVA LA RAZA
Norteño/Tejano sounds (and I know there’s a difference but whatevers) like Wisconsin folk music and Lawrence Welk.
Well, there are only a few types of music where you can expect the Accordion to show up. One is the super white music, and the other is the super Mexican music.
I probably wouldn’t listen to this on coke. Definitely not on acid. Actually, I’m not sure what it would go well with. But listen I do.
Had Gilmore’s link playing in another window when that started. Pretty good mashup.
