[A Robot Bit Me]

It's hard to tell what or if a sociopath likes.

[Diff-chan]

He probably never really liked rock if he only liked it when he agreed with the musician's views

I believe he liked and still likes rock, but says he likes country because that's what the dim bulb voters he is trying to appeal to likes. That's why it is pandering.

Is this the worst, most blatant pander ever?

Pretty much. Fuck this guy.

This is pretty much the MO of every politician, ever. I bet over half the dudes who blather on about their "faith" don't even give a shit about it IRL.

A perfect example of your last point: the recent elections in Israel. Netanyahu before the elections: There will be no two-state solution! The day after the elections: I welcome a two-state solution!

All about that vote, maaaaan.

[Some Stupid Japanese Name]

All about that political base, about that base, about that base.

Fixed.

LOL. Now all I hear is this:

Thanks for reminding me about Magfest 1.

surprise surprise, the art world of NYC is mostly white

more interesting is this bit at the bottom

The final feature of the report is a sweeping chart that shows the kind of jobs NYC residents with arts degrees are working. Although somewhat difficult to read, the chart does offer telling moments — e.g. of all the people who reported having Studio Arts degrees, not a one of them makes a living as an artist (versus 22% of those with Music degrees). Overall, only 15% of those with arts degrees in NYC are making their living as artists, and NYC artists’ median earnings are a depressingly meager $25,000. To put that in perspective: it won’t even pay for one year of art school.

art degrees, still useless.

I can hear the cotton thread's of Yoshi's trousers tighten.

None of that should surprise anyone.
The only prerequisite for most art schools is a cheque that won't bounce.
