  1. I don't remember seeing any Tuss on the Rephlex shop.

    Wish I had bought the Analords. My thinking at the time was "I already have these on vinyl" but I don't really listen to records any more, pain in the ass, too lazy to digitize hours of records etc. Been making do with some sub par FLAC rips for years, would be nice to have legit digital.

    Who fucking cares? There are literally hundreds of videos of black people having literally racist things happen to them. I couldn't give two fucks if one lady gets triggered into thinking someone is racist. The white lady will be just fucking A-OK. She's not the person to worry about, ultimately.

    So you're cool with racists threatening people then, it's just a free for all. Got it.

  3. Washington Post doing their part in fanning the flames of race war:

    https://www.washingtonpost.com/nation/2020/07/02/michigan-woman-gun-video/

    They don't even pretend to accurately describe what happened in the video. It's framed as if this is all the white woman's fault.

    Quote

    First, the white woman bumped into Takelia Hill’s teenage daughter. Then, she seemed to try to hit the black Michigan mother with her minivan.

    And just moments later, Hill found herself in a suburban Detroit parking lot, staring into the muzzle of a pistol, as the woman aimed her weapon at Hill and yelled for her to move back.

    “You f------ jumped behind my car,” the woman said, later shouting, “Back the f--- up!”

    The startling confrontation, which was partly caught on camera Wednesday afternoon, quickly went viral overnight. As of early Thursday, video of the confrontation had been viewed about 6 million times on Twitter.

    For some viewers, the scene may offer a particularly tedious sense of deja vu: Just days earlier, a white couple in St. Louis gained national attention after they brandished their weapons at a group of protesters, most of whom were black and were walking down the couple’s private street.

    This summer, America’s so-called Karens won’t stop at phoning the police about black people. Instead, they are armed, threatening to use their weapons on camera.

    Hill said the dangerous confrontation, which took place on the edge between the communities of Orion Township and Auburn Hills, left her and her three daughters traumatized.

    “So this is America,” Hill wrote on Facebook following the incident. “I’ve never in my life had a gun pulled out on me. … I’ve never felt so helpless in my life I’m so shaken up.”

    Social media posts from someone identifying as a relative say police arrested the white woman, confiscated her guns and then let her go. The Oakland County Sheriff’s Department did not immediately respond to a request for comment from The Washington Post, which could not confirm the woman’s identity.

    Neither Hill nor her 15-year-old daughter, Makayla Green, immediately responded to The Post’s request for comment.

    The encounter started with a trip to Chipotle. Around 8 p.m. Wednesday, Makayla was walking through a strip mall on her way to the restaurant as the woman was walking in the other direction. The Detroit News was the first to report on the incident.

    When the woman bumped into Makayla, the teenager asked her for an apology. Instead, the woman began yelling expletives.

    “I had moved out of the way so she can walk out,” Makayla told the News. “She bumped me and I said, ‘Excuse you.’ And then she started cussing me out, and saying things like I was invading her personal space.”

    Scared of what might happen next, the teenager called her mother over. The confrontation escalated and a man got out of a gray minivan and pulled the woman inside, the News reported.

    “You cannot just walk around calling white people racist,” the woman said through the car’s passenger-side window. “White people aren’t racist. … I care about you and I’m sorry if you had an incident that has made someone make you feel like that. No one is racist.”

    After the woman rolled up her window, Hill worried that the car would hit them while backing out. So she turned around to hit the minivan’s back window.

    That’s when the woman jumped out and pulled a gun, hurling expletives and ordering Hill and Makayla to move away from her.

    “Get away,” the woman said, increasing in volume as she stepped backward.

    Off-camera, Hill instructed someone in her family to call the police as the woman continued yelling and pointing the muzzle of her weapon at the camera.

    “She’s got the gun on me. She was about to hit me with the car,” she shouted back, adding that the man inside the car was armed, too. “This is crazy! Trump [is] making it real comfortable."

    Moments after the woman climbed back into the minivan, an officer with a weapon drawn arrived on the scene, the News reported.

    By that point, the woman was on her hands and knees. An officer picked up a gun on the ground behind her, and another snapped her into handcuffs.

    It is unclear how Michigan’s gun laws may apply to the situation. Brandishing a firearm in public is punishable by up to 90 days in jail, a $100 fine or both, except in cases of self-defense or to protect another person.

     

  4. I think it's good to be aware of what is happening in society. By the time these things make it into the regular media channels it's all chopped up, edited, and packaged with each channel's respective narrative. Seeing it raw lets you make up your own mind.

    I'm interested to see all of the spin on this incident: liberal, moderate, conservative, the whole spectrum.

    it doesn't seem normal unless you're in america. someone pulling a gun over some dumb shit is par for the course. seems like saying "ok fine.. look i'm sorry i bumped into your daughter.. didn't mean anything by it. it was an accident" or whatever the fuck happened.. and then just leaving. instead of pulling a gun. the high road doesn't exist in america anymore.

    The white people took their tongue lashing from the black people and also the threat to beat their ass. They were leaving. The black woman decided to provoke them further by obstructing the white people's vehicle that was already in reverse and leaving.

    Getting back out of the car and escalating force might not be what you had done at that point but they had already been threatened and were being threatened and attacked at that point. Camera goes shaky and can't really see what happened between the part where the black woman moved in front of a moving vehicle, hit it, and said "oh you gotta hit me?"

    You can't expect to go around threatening people with violence then doing it and not have some sort of consequence. The white woman had the ultimate playing field leveler at her disposal and used it. Black woman mouthed off a little more after that but the point was made and the white people got to leave with no more harassement or physical provocation by the black woman.

    Sure lots of screaming and  blowing shit out of proportion, but there's no point in the video that makes drawing a gun on someone the natural thing to do.

    They were able to leave without having the instigator block them from leaving again. Nobody was hurt. I say it worked out pretty well.

  7. :facepalm:

    NYT putting out the SJW bat signal to go start shit over nothing.

    Can anyone find an article where people were authentically mad/feeling oppressed/whatever about Mt. Rushmore say, 10 years ago?

    I think monuments and statues are stupid in general and I wouldn't care if Mt. Rushmore goes away but don't replace it with something else if you do. Just try to make it look as natural as possible. If they do it, do it with a private fund raiser not tax dollars.

    Anyway that's all I got. Seems like people wanting to be offended and going and finding something to be offended by and I don't want to pay taxes to "fix" something that's not broken. I'm cool if SD wants to do it with private money or their own state tax money, no federal money.

    andy ngo is a fucking hack. 

    Messenger vs message. I just think it's funny how the mayor of Seattle seems to be fine with CHAZ but it's a different story when they show up at her house.

  9. No that sounds about right. I live in a red state in the US where the cases are spiking again. I attempted to go to a local farmers market a couple of weeks ago on a Saturday morning and I won't be going back. Maybe 10% of people wearing masks, no social distancing that I could see. I waited in one line that was trying to social distance but people just kept walking right by me up close and personal when they could have just taken a few steps to walk behind me. Some weird looking woman actually got up in a guy's face in front of me and said "Really? Outside? Why are you wearing a mask outside?"

    We truly are Idiocracy here and I would not blame other states if they want to enforce a quarantine for people coming from states with cases spiking.
