My thoughts? You asked…
Wrong community, pal. Post music you like. Where’s the music? I personally would’ve preferred this or this instead of this hour-and-a-half-ish “Human talks at camera then video ends” video.
At !music@midwest.social I wanna hear Franz Schubert, I don’t wanna hear about Franz Schubert.
I see you’ve spammed crossposted this video to six different communities. Do you have skin in it?
EDIT 20:33 CEST: My mistake. I assumed you’d crossposted to six different communities but I see the video has been crossposted by different users.
DWI? DUI? What’s the difference? The drunks alcohol enthusiasts over at Forbes magazine explain the difference…for those of you who don’t have to cover one eye to focus.

I never thought someone would actually rebuild that place
My thought was that it was making more money derelict as a movie location than renovated…or at least more famous. But I am glad it was rescued and given a second life. It is a majestic building.
Uhmm…that’s certainly an interesting talking point to concentrate on.

If you can’t take an insult you have no business being in politics, which is just a formalized method for handling conflict.
…I think we can all agree on this.
MTG made it personal because she’s an asshole
…and here’s where you throw your whole argument out the window. Pushback (and language) of this nature has no place in civil discourse, much less justification of such. We, and they, are not friends at the bar. We, and they, are in a public arena where, like it or not, we are held to certain social customs and rules. Rep Greene was clearly out of line with such a playground ad hominem attack on Rep Crockett. But instead of “taking the high road” or having Greene officially reprimanded for her childish behaviour most unbecoming of a public official—at least Rep Ocasio-Cortez correctly addressed the attack initially—both Reps Cortez and Crockett returned the volley with Ms Crockett improvising that scene from Do The Right Thing. Would you applaud that kind of escalation from your children?
“Pearl clutching,” my ass.
Muhuwaahaaahaaaaahaaahaaahaaaa! 😈
You’re welcome!
I just wanted to say thank you for this. It shouldn’t ever be an invitation for violence, the topic is far from being black-or-white and I’m sorry you feel threatened daily by, for lack of a better term, the ignorant.

Yeaaaaah…you we wish! 👴 🧓 👵 🤣
Thanks, @bob! 👍 Sometimes the tone of the message gets lost in written communication, as we’ve all experienced.
But both parties are the same, am I right?
Care to elaborate? Or is my snark detector not working today?
And like potato chips, just one more…
Chesterfield? I always liked that area, small-town suburban and close to the water. But, duuuude! Just hop on I-94 and come downtown already! You’ll thank me later!
chode
I did like the downtown revitalization that was happening during his tenure.
Like what, exactly? What did “one of the worst mayors in America” do for the City of Detroit during his tenure? Y’know, besides bankrupt it even further and use it as his personal Al Capone Junior Playhouse®…?
I haven’t been to the city in almost 17 years but I’d be interested to see how it’s held up.
I forget sometimes that participants of this community are not necessarily from the city nor metroDetroit™. I have to ask: where are you residing that you haven’t visited Detroit 2.0 since the end of Kilpatrick’s reign of terror time in office?
P.S.: I 💘 your username!
No way they’ll reliably meet US safety standards.
The linked article mentions that the Seagull presently doesn’t meet US Safety Requirements. But that’s probably the least of our worries.
BYD and its line of EVs is an economic scatter bomb Made in China. BYD’s products are heavily subsidized by the PRC and built by unionless “slave labor.” It doesn’t matter at all if the Seagull makes one yuan of profit, like the Chinese solar panel market they’re created to flood the market and later, when the competition folds during the inevitable “race to the bottom”, attain market dominance. Even if BYD does meet US safety standards, even with heavy US import taxes and tariffs applied, their EVs would still sell for less than a Volt or a Tesla. At that point, how could the average US car buyer not be tempted?
This is not to say that American automotive industry is without blame or was somehow blindsided, having dropped the ball as they did back in the 1970s with the first wave of Japanese imports. The US government must share the blame for being at least 10 years too late on having in place a national EV charging strategy much like the Highway Act of the 1956. I guess, like the pre-2008 banks, everyone was just making too much money to do anything about it.
Here’s an article over at Electrek regarding the present US EV situation. While I won’t say I entirely agree with their analysis they do make many legitimate points regarding EV strategy.
Gnashing of teeth
Worth it for the cover art alone! 😄
we can be bought with sporting even tickets???
Well, yeah. You pick the event, what’s a “good seats” ticket cost these days? Not “nosebleed section” tickets where us mere mortals sit.
It’s the pay me back part that chafes me too. Like that isn’t any greasier. Ugh, I need a shower now.
Thanks, oh blustery one, for that avalanche of authentic Azerbaijani audio. I’m listening to it as I write this reply. I say this sincerely: Music, like food, is one of the few things in life that can bring all peoples together, regardless of politics or dogma.
Just in case anyone has still missed the point, my only objection to this post is that it’s not music. It’s about music, the item in question ironically containing very little actual music. As our sidebar sez—etched centuries ago by the community elders 🤣 —post music and save the documentaries for the appropriate communities.
