When someone says research into an essentially sci-fi dystopian tool probably shouldn’t be funded and someone else responds that they don’t think funding should be blocked on ideological differences…

What kind of human looks around at the state of the world in 2020 and decides that an urgent problem deserving of significant attention from the Federal Government is…the persecution of campus rapists?

Not to pick on you because I certainly do this too but this is a really good example of why online debate is so fruitless, so often. The tendency is to assume the most extreme version of a straw man for every discussion. You don’t actually believe I defended phrenology.

“Electronica” is a media-invented word with slightly different connotations on our respective sides of the Atlantic, and a fair amount of baggage. “Electronic Music” is a much better umbrella term for all the blippity bleepy thumpy thumps. If you compare the two terms’ Wikipedia pages you’ll see the former has a handful of vague and conflicting paragraphs while the latter is a vast topic spanning over 100 years of music history.
Any hot tips for Mother’s Day? Hard to create many surprises these days or do much of anything interesting :(
