I lost a bet once and I had to walk around in high heels all day. My ankles were absolutely killing me. I would rather wear panties. Ah, to be young and stupid again...

Has banning anything ever worked?

Isn't BoP a Texan? Not asking for any particular reason; it's just a question that randomly popped in my head.

How many fucking times are we going to retread the same bullshit propaganda in order to appease some right wing talking head, only to find out, oh, there's no truth to it? 🙄

On a side tangent, does no one care about making concise story headlines anymore?

Am I missing something? To me, the headline of this story is that physical print media is 3 times cheaper than digital. Maybe I am old fashioned, but I look at libraries as the last bastion of printed media. I don't want any digital in my libraries whatsoever. I'm aware that probably creates problems, but if any ruling body doesn't give huge budgets to allow libraries to continue amassing as much printed fiction and non fiction as they can possibly hold, they are hugely fucking up.

Dude a physical hardcover copy of "cook's island" cost the library $18 but the digital copy cost $55 and becomes unreadable after 24 months or being checked out 26 times? What the actual fuck? How is this even legal? This makes me angry. more importantly, what happens when the war pops off, and digital books across the entire country become unusable in an instant. Abandioning printed material in favor of an unreliable more expensive digital copy designed to fail is reckless AF! The library is more than just cheap entertainment provided by the government; it is a repository of knowledge.

Good? GOOD?! The first BC album is EPIC! This and Rage Against The Machine's first album were big fat "wake up" slaps into Heavy Metal's face that even Will Smith could not deliver better. Every track of the first BC album was singles material - all killers, no fillers.
I also recommend the Judgment Night soundtrack which has mostly great collaborations of rap and metal groups.

I'd argue that Walk This Way was rock, while Body Count was outright metal, but that's splitting hairs

1991, O.G. Original Gangster -- my introduction to rap (other than Rappers' Delight and Blondie's Rapture). Unfortunately, most rap isn't as good as OG was. Still listen to that album on a semi-regular basis. His shout out at the end of the album, "Ya Shoulda Killed Me Last Year" is awesome.
