Premium 295: The Pianist's Lament
Added 2024-03-12 00:10:25 +0000 UTCGive this one exactly 47 minutes and 15 seconds to kick into higher gear. For future reference it's the episode where we meet The Grim Reaper but he's Civil War historian Shelby Foote

2024-03-17 01:26:03 +0000 UTCI never saw Wedding Crashers, but I feel like the trailer definitely made it look like it was about two guys who went to weddings to seduce emotionally vulnerable women. So maybe the marketing department just embraced that angle after all?

2024-03-17 00:33:24 +0000 UTC..I saw what I think was a tesla X today in a parking lot (can't clock it, but it had a "Knight Rider"-esque LED bar in the front that needlessly pulsed after the driver locked his car, so I figured it was some Tesla nonsense). This is in Sweden, and every other car that was parked had a hood that's a good 12 inches lower than this car (actual pickup-trucks here are barely at this height). Just completely pointless "child head obliterating height" for absolutely no reason other than expressly designing your car for "a case of the not-gays." The story of Angela Chao is basically that impulse taken to a dark extreme. You made a car that's so not homosexual that its pew-pew-bullet-proof glass - that you obviously need, cruising downtown for Quiznos - made sure that you couldn't extract yourself in case of an actual emergency. Like, it's funny, but also kinda fills me with this "...we're never going to get off this planet, are we?" feeling when reckless automotive design is driven by this embarassing need to coo people's pathetic worry that someone will think they're some kind of queer for having a car that isn't the equivalent of a swollen codpiece.

2024-03-16 18:10:43 +0000 UTCTom, the reason for the end of small pickups here isn’t a government regulator with a set of scales. It’s far simpler: capitalism. There is far more profit in making oversized, overpriced pickups. Ford has a simpler, cheaper, single cab version of their Ranger pickup that they sell nearly everywhere but here. There are no NHTSA or EPA baddies keeping it out.

2024-03-13 04:35:54 +0000 UTCAs someone who attended my Italian cousin's wedding when I was six in 1990, I can confirm that wedding culture influenced Wedding Crashers. It was conga lines, chicken dancing, massive dance floors with frequent dance battles. That night changed me.

Mark Hardgrove
2024-03-13 00:08:49 +0000 UTCTom mentioned something about our culture being anti-mortality - there's a fun take in social psychology called "terror management theory" that all cultural practices, from cheerleading to church services, are ultimately fueled by the way they mitigate our persistent fear of death. It's interesting to think about how the erosion, capture, & selling off of cultural institutions for short-term consumption/profit might undercut their role in TMT, leaving only denial & technoutopian hopes for immortality to fill that space.

Caleb Ransom
2024-03-12 18:40:54 +0000 UTCThe book-titles I'm "most annoyed with" (if that's a thing to be) are "Word", "colon or dash ", "elevator pitch of what the book is about". It mostly happens with political books (that are mostly vanity-press stuff that nobody reads, and all of them ghost-written), but there's something sorta depressing that every facet of stuff around us has to have the same sweaty "hey, hey! Over here! I know you only have 1 micro-second of your time to spare! Here's the synopsis of the entire book right in the title! Please! Would you kindly buy it!" ..that said, it's probably a good thing for some types of books, if it's a matter of being read at all. So maybe it's just an aesthetic problem. Also, solidly haven't read a book in going on 15 years now, so take that into account.

2024-03-12 03:34:29 +0000 UTCBy observation of my Japanese inlaws in Niigata, they clean the feet of dogs when they come back from a walk and wipe the buts of dogs after they shit. It's not a cat household but I suspect extra cleaning measures are common due to the culture of cleanliness.
