blessingx Posted April 13 Author Report Share Posted April 13 Chechnya is banning music that's too fast or slow "Musical, vocal and choreographic" works will be limited to a tempo of 80 to 116 beats per minute (BPM) to "conform to the Chechen mentality and sense of rhythm," said Dadayev, according to the Russian state-run news agency TASS. "Borrowing musical culture from other peoples is inadmissible," Dadayev said, per a translation by The Guardian. "We must bring to the people and to the future of our children the cultural heritage of the Chechen people. This includes the entire spectrum of moral and ethical standards of life for Chechens." https://www.npr.org/2024/04/09/1243632570/chechnya-music-ban-bpm https://www.theguardian.com/world/2024/apr/09/chechnya-bans-dance-music-either-too-fast-slow 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

swt61 Posted May 6 Report Share Posted May 6 (edited) I skew that chart considerably. Country and Classic Rock are two of my favorite genres. And I'm a very liberal Democrat. Edited May 6 by swt61 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In 2022, for example, the Southern Poverty Law Center (SPLC), a respected civil rights advocacy organization, published an extensive analysis that found that after Newsweek positioned the political activist Josh Hammer to run its opinion pages..., the magazine took a “radical right turn by buoying extremists and promoting authoritarian leaders”. In his personal podcast, the SPLC observe, Hammer has frequently spoken about “[shifting] the Overton window” and pushing far-right views into the mainstream; that, arguably, was also his goal at Newsweek. As the New Republic noted back in 2020, it certainly looks a lot like Newsweek’s “former legitimacy is [being] used to launder extreme and conspiratorial ideas”. 1 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

skullguise Posted August 15 Report Share Posted August 15 Thanks Doug. No "argument" per se from me....many of them I'd choose as well, would indeed change the order of some.

robm321 Posted August 31 Report Share Posted August 31 A Jerry Lewis movie filmed in 1972 was so bad (in a dark way) that it was never released. He donated the unfinished movie to the Library of Congress with the stipulation that it would not be released until 2024. “This movie is so drastically wrong its pathos and its comedy are so wildly misplaced, that you could not, in your fantasy of what it might be like, improve on what it really is.” ‘The Day the Clown Cried’: Why Jerry Lewis’s Lost Holocaust Film Is Still Lost 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blessingx Posted August 31 Author Report Share Posted August 31 Wait, I thought it was stipulated until after his death? And it's been seen by select people. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
robm321 Posted August 31 Report Share Posted August 31 (edited) I'm a little confused too. Here's where I got the 2024 release date: "Rob Stone, indicated that the library had whole negatives but had agreed not to release them until 2024." I Want to see it but can't find anything other than 30 minutes of leaked footage? https://archive.org/details/project-55 They claim to have ~90 minutes.
