Nelson<p><a href="https://jawns.club/tags/Scrobbling" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>Scrobbling</span></a> folks! If you want to preserve your listening history, it seems good to scrobble listens to an open source/data project like ListenBrainz.</p><p>But is it bad to also scrobble to the original Last.fm? According to Wikipedia, Last.fm is owned by Paramount. It&#39;s a corporation. We can&#39;t trust it. Will it enshittify tomorrow, add AI or NFT crap, sell user data to someone evil?</p><p>I want to think not. I miss the innocence of the old Web. I want to keep using a site I&#39;ve used since 2005.</p><p><a href="https://jawns.club/tags/LastFM" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>LastFM</span></a></p>

Nelson<p>I need an overview of tactics/strategies for rigging elections, with historical examples of how they&#39;ve been used. (I&#39;d also appreciate methods for addressing each flavor of election fuckery.)</p><p>Could you please recommend books or any other relevant resources?</p><p>A quick search found this book, is it any good?

Nelson<p>Sugar Ray got me good, all the way from 1999.</p><p>I put on their CD &quot;14:59&quot; for the first time, and the song &quot;New Direction&quot; began playing. I was like, death metal? What? Is this the right CD? I double-checked both the packaging and the CD itself. It was. Sugar Ray are just funny guys.</p>

Nelson<p>I know that children&#39;s entertainment under capitalism was never going to be a good source for action plans or organizing training, but...</p><p>I&#39;m still disappointed that the generation raised on Raffi, Captain Planet, FernGully, Princess Mononoke &amp; Studio Ghibli, etc. hasn&#39;t pulled together in time to prevent the accelerating destruction of our biosphere. (How about now? Now?)</p><p>Did art like WALL-E hit anyone where they live? Or did it slide right off and leave everyone unchanged by the experience?</p>
