@spamamdorf @crim479 @MinModulation I didn't bring it up for trivia, I said it because the original poster was implying otherwise lol

[shah @niceversepie]

@heisei_ramen @MinModulation haven't even seen it lol

@crim479 @MinModulation responding to something I never said I'm afraid

like it's Raskolnikov projecting but also kind of lamenting Sonya's self-sacrificing nature for her borderline unsalvageable family, and positioning her as above him, and lightly condemning SW itself - hard to reduce to a slogan and more nuanced than my little summary here

[shah @niceversepie]

whenever people post the Dostoevsky quote that's like "your worst sin is that you have destroyed and betrayed yourself for nothing" I always feel like it's such an odd quote to pull in the context of the novel, but it does go hard just as a sentence

what did she see ...

[Natalie Wynn @ContraPoints]

@KyleKulinski that’s true, & in fairness even here in the axe grindosphere Platner has been cheerled relentlessly by a large contingent of bro-y libs. I hope my instincts are wrong, but I think it will turn out to be embarrassing to have caped this hard for the American answer to Russel Brand

@envisionedluna I was obsessed with "the CIA" from their album plastic death a couple years ago

[shah @niceversepie]

this made the rounds a long time ago and what I said then is that it's not bad but the commune part makes it a bit corny and bloated

[shsemisser @honsooled]

THIS poem is everything to me. it makes me so hopeful for my adult friendships

@LonesomeWest sorry this is off-topic but is your name actually glen runciter or are you just a big ubik fan

[shah @niceversepie]

I still unironically (maybe a little ironically) love this art style

as a socdem I like that a lot of socialists are becoming libs (and vice versa)

[Political Punk @actingliketommy]

Socialism isn't "free stuff" it is literally just using your tax dollars doing something to benefit you and other workers instead of using it to buy a stadium for a billionaire. That's it. That's all it is.

apropos of city pop discourse I do actually have a playlist of older western pop that sounds like city pop (or perhaps that city pop imitates)

[shah @niceversepie]

it's more nuanced than this

[macbound @Kid_Macky]

The City Pop phenomenon is so obviously an instance of Thing, Japan. Like, it's no coincidence that the people who are overly enthusiastic abt City Pop don't even know who Bobby Brown, Janet Jackson, or Luther Vandross are.

[shah @niceversepie]

@Liv_Agar constantly yes
