Things You Just Don't Care About

I think it's a long tradition. Nixon, Joe McCarthy, they all had imitators.

Well, well, well.

-- Ronald Reagan --

Imitating a president?

Wouldn't be prudent.

Did Bush Sr ever actually say that or does everyone just remember it from the Dana Carvey impression?

Michael Jordan and his ridiculous 10-hour hagiography. No way am I watching that shit.

mr. snrub . . . otm?

oh i will definitely watch that.

MJ was an inventive, supremely skilled, epoch defining, relentlessly competitive, arrogant asshole.

Now that he doesn't play any more, he's just an arrogant asshole.

you forgot to mention that he's a billionaire but that may be implied

over/under on hours spent by wilbon, on screen, just relentlessly tonguing MJ's ass: 1.5

there is a guy who has no other frame of reference for anything

the Other Music documentary (sorry)

Um,yeah maybe

the Other Music documentary (sorry)

100% agreement. I spent a fair amount of money there once upon a time (it was my third or fourth favorite record store in that part of NYC in the early 2000s, after Tower on 4th & Broadway and Mondo Kim's and possibly Downtown Music Gallery), but what kind of person would want to watch a documentary about a goddamn record store?

People might want to when even fewer of them exist in a few months.

it's just that *this* record store, where I too spent a lot of money, would seem to lack the qualities that would merit a documentary. I was bummed when it closed but it's hard to feel anything like nostalgia for it...it was never exactly the warmest place, or staffed with "characters"....it's not like it has some deep, rich history. It was just a kind of a sterile place w/ a nicely curated inventory.

I will prpbably end up watching it some day though.

I saw a still from this film of Chloe Sevigny browsing the racks, and that pretty much cemented my decision to skip it

iirc they never had a Rex Manning Day

Dealing with another cat now. But yeah I still owe you story I guess

May the Fourth

heaven needed a holiday that's actually an enormous free advertisement for disney

it’s definitely annoying now, but it was absolutely unbearable a few years ago when it was largely an underground thing, and every single year some dork in the workplace would corner you and say “it’s may the fourth! <intense stare> MAY THE FOURTH! <stare further intensifies> GET IT?????”

clearly y'all haven't yet encountered may the 5ith

free advertisement for Disney, but only because they handed Lucasfilms a boatload of cash for rights to this particular form of nonsense and all that appertains thereto.

Alison Roman, whoever she is, and her beef with Chrissy Tiegen

March 4th, most progressive day of the year > May the 4th, some Star Wars bullshit

which album poll has the most even distribution of votes

No-one's said Elon Musk for well over a year, so here's an Elon/Grimes update for 2020: I don't care.

Ha, I was literally about to type "the doings of Elon Musk and/or Grimes".

Cosign 4th of May, distribution of votes & Elon Musk/Grimes.

84. USA politics. i followed this for 12 years and now i just don't care.

US politics. Or rather, I wish I didn't care, but I'm afraid it would make me less Canadian.

US politics. I mean that is the dumbest shit going

Co-sign

At least, I'm letting myself not pay attention to US politics for the time being.

new poll: which do you care about least?

*Elon
*Grimes
*Their baby
*This poll
*The distribution of votes in this poll

US Politics ftw

*Elon
*Grimes
*Their baby
*This poll
*The distribution of votes in this poll

can we please get at least 20 votes in this poll, preferably 30?

the intricacies of covid-19, such as those discussed in the "outbreak" thread

Neil Gaiman and Amanda Palmer (no idea who she is btw).

I actually played an Amanda Palmer track the other day, as I realised I hated her without having heard a note of her music. It was the sort of witchy-poo Tori Amos-lite goth-rock nonsense I was expecting, shall not be returning.

Lana Del Rey

i will try the album sooner or later but i gotta say: fiona apple

also: Jason DeRulo

Idk 'The Kim's Video & Music Story' has the makings of a pretty colorful documentary. I really wanna know what happened with that crazy shrine to Mr. Kim in Sicily. Now he was a colorful character.
OM was the better record store imo, but hardly documentary fodder.

What college people driving cars near me graduated from, per their license plates

How many recent oscar winners had happy endings

Maybe the weirdest flex in a thread that is entirely weird flex but ok but ok

the birthday of any person with whom I am not personally acquainted

holy shit that Kim's story, I don't remember reading about this before

a cursory search turns up nothing more recent abt the collection, I wonder what 's going on now?

Don’t know but am afraid to ask. Just reread that article, brought back a lot of um, something, memories, feelings, etc.
