Godfather maybe, but Metal’s parents are three British bands: Led Zeppelin, Deep Purple, and especially Black Sabbath. Those bands’ early albums are all Blues-influenced so it goes back to black artists anyway, though I’d argue that after decades of evolution Metal’s debt to Howlin’ Wolf, Willie Dixon, etc isn’t…

That’s actually not true. Irish and Scottish Celtic music is the primary influence of Appalachian/bluegrass music. Country music was also strongly influenced by Celtic music. That doesn’t discount the fact that the most popular forms of American music have Black roots. Why overstate when the truth is just as good?

Senator Portman has been working to end sex trafficking in Ohio for years. This article persuasively describes the dangers of the bill, but it makes no mention of the tens of thousands who are being trafficked, mostly vulnerable populations like immigrants and children. Third party websites like backdoor make no…

In most cases, the idea of cultural appropriation need to be thrown out. ESPECIALLY in the arts. It’s a waste of mental energy to try to figure out which color of skin an idea belongs to. Especially after it has been passed through so many minds and people from so many different walks of life.

The only people who care…

If the rations are running low, they should start eating whatever Tara is eating. She doesn’t look like she’s missing any meals. Watching the way they cut the scene with her running after Dwight made me laugh out loud.

.You may feel differently when you sober up. This thing has day-after “OMG, what have I done” written all over it.

The Giants will probably be so happy to see evidence that OBJ isn’t gay that they’ll let the drugs thing slide.

I think it looks like a bagfull of assholes.

You seriously need your eyes checked if you find this piece of shit attractive.

The side surfacing looks like an industrial design school sophomore’s first ever 1/5-scale clay model.

Looks like a crappy Optimus Prime logo placed in the same spot/shape as the Lamborghini Urus with a Porsche Mission E knock-off interior...

Umm, this car is the most ill-proportioned piece of clay I’ve ever seen. The design language is completely inconsistent from front to back. And any style points I would give them for the interior I have to deduct straight away for that abomination of a logo.

It’s a Chinese company, but it’s going to be made in Italy. Wat.

Rule #1: Don’t put touch screen controls in cars.

As someone who drives a car in the real world and occasionally likes doing things, this “Touchscreen for everything” shit has got to go. Maybe you don’t need buttons for everything, but things like basic AC and music, at least a few dials and switches you can find and use by touch alone.

ewe. No.

This thing looks like a bad design student project. The surfaces don’t talk to each well and that side graphic is awful and mars the entire side profile.

Its official: China has too much money. The amount of bullshit startups funded by sketchy untraceable money that’s come from there the last few years is crazy. Its weird that for a company most of us has probably never heard of, they have 6 tech centers all over the world.

I’m calling it right now.
