@SethBrown lol firefox has been around for how long now? and i'm still asking this question?

for the record, i like both the comedic techniques of kernel-of-truth-but-mostly-exaggerated-so-still-funny (cf louie's "of course but maybe" bit) as well as the say-the-most-absurd-untrue-thing-possible-but-deliver-it-straight-for-a-beat thing (again cf louie's cinema classics jews/rape stuff). people tend to conflate the two but they are not the same. i suspect chappelle is trying for the former and ends up punching down; i haven't seen the bit yet though so this is speculation.

dave chappelle is complaining about cancel culture right as both of netflix's co-ceos explicitly confirmed that they are not cancelling him. (netflix is, i assume, his primary source of income.)

for the record, i think freedom of association is one of the best and most powerful tools for reshaping society and making it better, which is why i am pro-cancel-culture, pro-boycott, pro-vaccine-mandate, et c. you should be free to say "no, that sucks, i won't do business with you" at all times.

if you’re going to hang three records on your wall, they should be the man machine, tour de france, and human after all

i think i have an essay about kraftwerk inside of me. computerliebe is about experiencing human alienation by technology-mediated social interaction, then using technology to solve the problem. both the man machine and tour de france are concept albums about the same concept.

@enjey sell them for what?

@mao the german sense of humor strikes again

in the last 15 years, kraftwerk quietly re-produced (from scratch, pretty much) all of their same songs/records for their live show, and released much of it. they have the same names, lyrics, melodies, basslines, et c, but they’re complete reproductions, new from scratch. it’s amazing. does any other band do this?

i didn’t realize until this year just how groundbreakingly good the 2003 long mix remaster of tour de france is. it’s absolutely epic.
