I still think it's weird that the most popular journalist "from Appalachia" on here brigaded a (the only?) Black queer folk musician off this site for saying "I think Appalachian people have been treated badly in this country." Like are you really "from Appalachia," or did you just do a MA at ETSU?

I very nearly got pulled into discourse just now but suddenly I remembered about this song instead
I mean this earnestly, I do not like hearing about AI and I love seeing no context links like this youtu.be/Pjqszdpy3BY?...

The only "ai" I care about is the "ai" in the lyric "ai khoo, temee" which means "ô camel"

"We need to have a conversation about AI" No. We don't. We need to have a listen to some throat singing
The problem with bluesky is that everyone wants to talk about AI all the time and no one is ever talking about Mongolian folk music

Bsky nerds are trying to figure out how to publicly dislike the Bad Bunny halftime show without being called racist and they've settled on "it happened during sportsball"

Not to mention that like the only version of new rock music that is remotely popular is entirely sung in Mongolian, a language most Americans didn't know existed until 2015 (or maybe still don't?)
it's weird to see people complain about Bad Bunny's performance being in Spanish when there have been entire operas in Italian, German and French performed in the US and the top song of the last two years, K-Pop Demon Hunters' "Golden" has lyrics in Korean
