What an odd question.

You clearly know you have a ‘type’ and can easily point out examples of that type - that being the case why on earth do you need a word for it? How does applying a word help you find more people of that type? You’re not classifying a new species.

Changes literally every day! At the moment I’m loving Witch Club Satan’s new single You Wildflower.

Also (sorry for the spam), I co-present a metal radio show which plays music from explicitly antifascist and/or anti-bigotry artists called Contra Odium.

It would improve the society

No. It would create a society in which the powerful have decided which genes are the ones they like when in reality, its diversity and complexity that is what’s ‘best’ for humans.

and people quality of life

That is not how eugenics works.

I don’t understand why is it bad

Then take a biodiversity and ethics class.

Just to Godwin the thread, eugenics is the province of nazi’s and other totalitarian regimes. Even though it could never work in the way they want, all anyone who advocates eugenics really wants is to eradicate other people different than them.

It’s not a bad idea at all - more people should try things they’re curious about. As long as everyone involved exercises informed consent its your call what you do.

The first step in implementing a military coup is to secure your base.

1. Sometimes
2. A mix. Maybe influences would give a better clue - Shirley Jackson, Peter Straub, Giosuè Carducci, Henry James, Sylvia Plath, Anne Sexton, Hilary Mantel.
3. Daily, except when I don’t want to.
4. Already have.

ABMN is not just Black Metal, their YT channel (findable on Invidious too) is divided in to playlists by subgenre.

SNH also a huge mix of sub-genres and non-metal genres such as EDM, Noise, punk etc.

In terms of non-metal, there are similar projects for neofolk (which also has a tendency to attract the fash), the LeftFolk collective features some great music. The Riihimaki Collective feature hardcore, and DIY Conspiracy are a punk collective.

Again, I would have to check, but I think that might’ve been where Bruce got the idea.

I’d have to double check but I think it was a New 52 run. You’re right to say he has no set, specific plan but his best work-in-progress is using her own warrior tendencies against her by making her constantly fight an unbeatable opponent.

He has a few possibles for Diana, largely centred around trapping her in a virtual world with an unbeatable enemy she is forced to fight until she dies of exhaustion.

All the DC billionaires think Superman is dodgy. Lex is a xenophobe who wants to destroy anything more powerful than him, Bruce sees a potential threat to humanity but respects the man. Oliver just thinks he’s a pompous dick.

“This is a lesson in propaganda.”

Well, at least you’re honest up-front.

Lots of reasons.

1. They pay their artists an an absolute pittance with a model that vastly favours the big labels. New artists, those artists striving to establish themselves and/or independent artists are screwed over.

2. At the same time they pay hundreds of millions of dollars to pricks like Joe Rogan.

3. The ‘fake artists’ controversy where Spotify pay stock music production companies to produce pretty bland ‘playlist’ mood music, then created an internal team to seed these tracks on their uberhyped suggested playlists.

4. Getting caught heavily promoting AI Bands who have been trained on actual musicians work, without paying them for it, which in turn allows Spotify to pay out even less royalties to actual musicians.

5. Daniel Ek recently investing in 100m Euros into an AI weapons company, which has triggered an artist boycott.

6. You have zero ownership and zero access rights to the music you stream.

In short, if you care at all about music and the people who make it then streaming in general is not a good model for their future and Spotify is poison.

Capitalist democracies all over the Westernised world are transforming. I don’t say collapsing, but transforming. We’ve all been force fed a steady diet of fake freedoms, culture wars and bullshit nationalism pretty much since the end of WW2 to spread uncertainty and fear. It’s all coming to a head now because populations are panicking (by design) and turning to fascist ‘strong man’ populist leaders like Trump, Farage, Meloni, Orban etc who are all financed and propped up by our next set of leaders - the billionaire’s who will operate a worldwide network of oligarchical fascism, whilst the herd are all distracted by manufactured outrage at trans people existing and what an actors politics are and how the immigrants are simultaneously taking all the jobs and draining us dry on the dole.

SchildiChat Next is a Matrix client for Android (on Play and F-Droid) that fully supports Element X. SchildiChat also has a desktop version for Win/Mac/Linux and a web version. Its honestly so much better than the ‘official’ Element clients.

Destiny is a GUI for a Magic Wormhole client. Its a way to transfer files between devices that are anywhere online. P2P, E2EE etc. Its cross platform (Android version also available on F-Droid).

Metadata Cleaner - works on images, PDF’s, docs etc. If the fact its currently unmaintained bothers you then there’s Mat2 which also has a web version.

Strange 2 would’ve been better if they left Sam Raimi alone to make it a proper horror movie. He clearly wanted to and with those 2 characters it could’ve been epic. But thats what I mean about marvel constantly making ‘franchise’ movies - everything has to ‘lead in’ to the next movie. I’d really like for them to make an actual movie thats good without the need to keep it PG and keep it focused on the wider arc. The MCU has become more and more like an increasingly predictable soap opera.

EDIT: when we left the cinema after Thunderbolts people were talking about the post credit scenes and F4 which kind of illustrates what I’m saying - shouldn’t they be talking about the movie they just watched?

Superman is, IMO, a better movie because the story is a lot stronger but its not a truly great movie to me. The pacing felt really weird. But some of the shots of Supes flying in particular were really great and looked like a comic book come to life. I guess it was a promising start but flawed.
