This should go in the random movie thread, but I'll just add it here...
Yeah, that's the Q move every time: make a prediction that's false, and then either say "it's part of a larger plan" or "actually, it did happen like I said, but they had to do it in secret." And that includes arrests and executions. The arrests are ones with ankle monitors so that they keep up appearances and more get arrested; the executions include replacing people with body doubles/clones/holograms.So one of my best mates has a 'mate' who is fully QAnon. He lives in Queensland and is Australian but has developed quite the interest in US politics. He bet my mate $2,000 that Trump would inaugurated today, and now that Biden has very clearly been inaugurated, his response to my mate asking for his money is "how do you not see what's happening? This is all part of the plan - Biden gets sworn in to reveal to everyone the web of corruption... he is about to be arrested and Trump will be re-inaugurated within days..."
He's been wrong every step of the way, all his predictions have been false, but he just keeps saying it's all part of the plan, and just delaying the next step.
I wrote a piece about You Get What You Give after listening to it all day today:

And no, I didn't mention the outro, because I don't think it's overly relevant to anything happening right now. If Gregg had gone all-out and switched the celebrities to Trump, McConnell, Giuliani and Cruz, I would have been all over that.
I enjoyed that.
Some random dumb shit I thought might give you all a chuckle, but tonight I was reminded that the band Rhye exist. I said something about the "Female" lead singer and Travis had to remind me all over again that the lead singer is a man. Which jogged my memory that we might have talked about that here once before. Sure enough:

It made me laugh to re-read that collective moment.

If you want some fun, summery indie rock in the middle of winter, check out the new Kiwi Jr. album. It's like a mix of The Modern Lovers' playful rock sneer, the pretty jangle of Felt, and the cynical, highly literate Americana of Okkervil River.
One could just condense that description down to Pavement, no?
Two independent Parquet Courts references in 10 minutes?
I need to check the new Rhye album. I really liked Woman when it came out but have not gone back to it much over the years.
(by the way, who is on RYM here other than Ax and LM?)
Those RYM genre lists are my absolute favorite. I'm getting closer and closer to knocking out the top 100 New Wave albums .
Found my first favorite album of the year! I'm really enjoying "The Last Exit" by Still Corners. It combines some dream pop elements with a dry, desert vibe, like it should soundtrack a modern Western. Good stuff.
Holy shit, Kaputt is 10 today.
I recently downloaded my Spotify records to try to reconstruct my play history (no good - they only have my history for the last year), but found out something curious/scary/strange: they share the "inferences" they make about your profile on the basis of your music and podcast listening habits). So here are some of the things Spotify assumes about me:
- Sugar drink buyer (nope).
- Candy buyer (nope) - though I'm starting to think that they may have used some bubblegum pop listening too literally perhaps?
- Champagne drinker (sure, but what the hell in my listening habit suggests that? And no, I have not played the Oasis song in years)
- Chocolate lover (ditto)
- Contact lens wearer (nope, but wtf)
- Banana Republic competitor shopper (what?)
- Costco Shopper (never been to one, don't have a car and the closest is miles and miles away)
- Finance Person Know-It-All (lol, no)
- Hot Sauce fans (seriously, what makes them think that?)
- Snowboarder (nope, last time I went to a ski slope since I had a first generation iPod)
- I seem to be a "consumer" of literally every type of alcoholic beverage in existence (fact check: partly true).
- Politics - voted in the last election (I can't vote here).
Anyways, you get the gist. Gotta love AI and the privacy-less age.
I always knew you were a Finance Bro! Don’t deny it!
