Someone emailed the podcast asking me to rank these 90s bands: Counting Crows, Matchbox 20, Third Eye Blind, Savage Garden.

I threw out Savage Garden and replaced them with Googoo Dolls. Then the ranking goes:

Counting Crows>Matchbox 20>Googoo Dolls>Third Eye Blind
I put Googoo Dolls above Third Eye Blind because I always enjoy hearing “Iris” in the dentist waiting room
Matchbox 20 was the VH1 band. I think I let that fact color my view of them back then. Now looking back I see that they put out some pretty solid stuff for a while there.

I’m spitballing here but could it be because good guys aren’t interested in using women just for sex?
Also if you just want them for sex, what the hell do you care if they’re “good” or not?
Imagine this headline: “Why is it so hard for a young single guy to find good girls just for sex?”

How would that be received I wonder

What’s the most iconic 90s jam?

There are right and wrong answers to this question and you will graded on your response.
Smells Like Teen Spirit is the obvious and easy answer. I guess I should have said most iconic besides Smells Like Teen Spirit.
Can’t believe there’s no love for “Juicy” on this thread

It's been ten years and I still can't watch that Hillary Clinton "I don't feel no ways tired" clip. The second hand embarrassment is too immense. I fear I will cringe myself to death. I'm glad you guys have gotten so much enjoyment out of it, but I can't do it.
The one on YouTube is a 20 second clip. It starts with "I don't feel no ways tired." I bail out at that point. I've only ever made it 2 seconds beyond it. That's my record. One day maybe I will climb the mountain. One day.
My propensity to feel embarrassment on behalf of other people has robbed me of so much great comedy. It's one of the reasons why I can't go anywhere near a karaoke night.

Chinese Communist wanted to do away with Chinese scripts and replace it w full Latin alphabet. But something happened along the way. We ended up with Simplified Chinese characters instead. I will talk about this history in this thread

Chinese 大众报 news in full Latin script
In early 20th century, some radical Chinese intellectuals thought the only way for China to be modern is to get rid of Chinese characters and switch to alphabet like rest of the world. Latinized Chinese textbooks
Switch Chinese writing to full Latin alphabet had the support of Chinese Communist Party leadership after establishment of PRC. Zhou Youguang 周有光, Banker returning from New York was tasked with creating Chinese Romanization program. The result is Pinyin System

someone emailed me asking for recommendations for readings on food access/food justice. I'm going to thread some readings I use in my courses and some of my personal faves (in no particular order and not exhaustive):
"The Politics of Inclusion: Black Farmers and the Quest for Agribusiness Inclusion, 1945-1990" (Valerie Grim)

"A Pig and a Garden: Fannie Lou Hamer and the Freedom Farms Cooperative" (Monica White)
"Fried Chicken and Fresh Apples: Racial Segregation as a Fundamental Cause for Fast Food Density in Black Neighborhoods" (@professahKwate)

The concepts of doing well by doing good, impact investment funds & the like substitute "generosity" for "justice". Justice often requires the powerful to lose something, to stop standing on someone's back. 1/x
Generosity in this context is like continuing to stand on someone's back while throwing them a bone. Generosity of this kind where the system doesn't change but scraps are thrown has become a very powerful idea. 2/x

Right. No-one asked for it, but several of you fuckers need it, so here's my tips for creating a good #podcast:
1. Edit your work. Listen to what you've recorded and take the time to cut out the erms, the ums, the slurpy mouth noises, coughs, farts, etc.
And for the love of fuck, don't eat or drink into the microphone.
2. Edit your work. If your episodes are consistently more than an hour long, I will move on without listening. There is no subject I want to hear about for that long that can't be either restructured into smaller episodes, or more strongly edited.

Friend's daughter: "I'm a member of our prom committee and we're thinking of a classic rock theme."

Me: "Oh, that's cool! So Pink Floyd and Led Zeppelin?"

FD: "Who are those?"

Me:

FD:

FD: "More like...Third Eye Blind and Todd the Wet Sprocket?"

today i realized i am old now
Look: I live in the Philippines. Music taste is shit here if you factor majority pref. We singlehandedly made Michael Learns to Rock financially viable & that takes a lot of bad decisions.

PF & LZ are rarely played. TEB & TWS are. Take differing culture into consideration ---
--- and do not come ripping on a 16yo's music tastes instead of the obvious "I am old" joke I was riffing on, or I will be all up your ass bc some of y'all already starting. Jfc, guys.

And for the record, I actually like Third Eye Blind. Plus, they're good guys.

I feel like I haven’t tweeted about, ya know, actual crows or crow related content in some time. So how about we learn about #crows for a minute?
Did you knows crows can keep track of small quantities AND they can recognize when quantities are unequal? What’s more is that it seems their brains do this in the same ways our do...via individual neurons corvidresearch.blog/2015/06/11/cou…
When I say they can keep track of small quantities what I mean is if you hide 3 treats under 10 cups and mix em up, jackdaws will stop turning boxes over once they’ve found three treats...at least according to a 1950 study. Parrots are another bird that seem to do this.
