OKAY, so the Fugazi 3 million thing is probably this quote being misinterpreted. In this interview Ian says Repeater sold around 500K, the entire Fugazi catalog cumulatively sold between 2 and 3 million. That sounds very reasonable

On Dischord’s best-selling records:

If you took the first Minor Threat single—we put the two singles on one 12-inch. You include that, and you include the cassette version of that and then you include the discography CD, which is all of the songs—if you add all those up, it’s just shy of a million, or maybe it’s over a million copies now. I don’t know. It’s a lot.

Fugazi, on the other hand, we had I don’t know how many records, eight or nine albums. And I think Repeater, probably the first one and Repeater were close to 500,000, maybe over, I don’t know. I don’t actually really keep too close a count. But cumulatively, we sold over 2 or 3 million records now.

however, given that it was independent and Ian owned Dischord, the amount of money he'd see from 500K would probably be more than a major label act would see for 5 million after they were done getting fucked by the label etc

i know someone who played music with Beto and knew him when he was younger; she's super progressive and was a big proponent of his Senate run (though she lives in NYC now). But I haven't heard what she thinks about his presidential run or anything since the criticism that he was too supportive of Republicans in TX gained traction.

I just looked through the tweets from today. Gillibrand, Booker, Buttigigigig and Yang were the ones that didn't have cut and paste platitudes. Actually naming white supremacy/nationalism, anti-immigration sentiment.

Bravely coming out to say he's not sure about single-payer healthcare today.

Greta Van Show Feets BB (milo z), Friday, 15 March 2019 21:42 (seven years ago)

Beto: is it ok if I have a couple of friends crash for a couple of weeks? And can we park in the driveway? Sorry I didn't have time pick up toilet paper or your whiskey that I finished last night. Man, I was so tired from working all day.

He was an English major skilled enough with computers to introduce roommates to the culture of early-1990s chat rooms, once pranking a girlfriend by posing as a romantically interested woman online.

That crazy hacker prank of, uh, using a different name on a BBS.

what's the point of slow-walking M4A in the current field? What constituency are you aiming at? Whose territory are you trying to move in on? Joe Biden's?

moose; squirrel (silby), Friday, 15 March 2019 22:44 (seven years ago)

does beto lurk?

Trϵϵship, Friday, 15 March 2019 22:46 (seven years ago)

it's not just that he's not sure about single payer. it's that he's "no longer sure".

I think this makes him the only Democratic candidate actually moving rightward on this issue (not that he ever genuinely supported single payer) https://t.co/47kKWZFOo1

What constituency are you aiming at?

I'm guessing there's a lot of donor money out there for any Democrat who's opposed to single-payer.

Greta Van Show Feets BB (milo z), Friday, 15 March 2019 22:58 (seven years ago)

yeah, it’s a pretty obvious move imo. he needs a lane

k3vin k., Friday, 15 March 2019 23:04 (seven years ago)

man would be nice if some non-healthcare/insurance dark money donors would support single payer, surely Amazon wants to stop having warehouse workers whine at them about benefits

moose; squirrel (silby), Friday, 15 March 2019 23:14 (seven years ago)

He has a lane! young charismatic Biden.

I feel like the Beto thing is just starting and I'm already exhausted.

A lot of people don’t pay attention to politics. That is why we are going to win.

what do you think is meant by "math"?

but i'm there are fuckups (Karl Malone), Saturday, 16 March 2019 02:25 (seven years ago)

it means something different to everyone

but i'm there are fuckups (Karl Malone), Saturday, 16 March 2019 02:26 (seven years ago)

maybe by “politics” he means /pol/

⅋ (crüt), Saturday, 16 March 2019 02:28 (seven years ago)

Don’t see “math” in this,thread, not sure what you mean Karl

Dan S, Saturday, 16 March 2019 02:40 (seven years ago)

people at his rallies keep chanting "math"

i honestly don't know what it means

but i'm there are fuckups (Karl Malone), Saturday, 16 March 2019 02:52 (seven years ago)

it's possible that i'm basing all of this off of one tweet, i admit

but i'm there are fuckups (Karl Malone), Saturday, 16 March 2019 02:52 (seven years ago)

i mean, i like math too, don't get me wrong. being against math is like being against water

maybe that's what's going on

but i'm there are fuckups (Karl Malone), Saturday, 16 March 2019 02:53 (seven years ago)

if you are for UBI you ain't really good at math.
