  • I started this, and never got started: https://lemmy.ca/c/musicleague

    Part of the problem was that musicleague only works with a spotify login, but it could work with a fediverse login!

    MusicLeague: https://musicleague.com/user-guide/

    1. Each league is made up of a certain number of rounds.
    2. Each round has a musical theme, like ‘covers’ or ‘I want your sax.’
    3. When the round opens, league players are notified to submit a song that fits the theme.
    4. When everyone has submitted (or the submission deadline arrives), everyone receives a link to the playlist to listen, consider, and then return to Music League to assign points and add comments to reminisce, toast and maybe a gentle roast.
    5. Once the votes are in, everyone will be able to see the results, including who submitted what, how everyone voted, and all the comments.
    6. Points are earned from round to round and accumulate through the entire league until a winner is crowned.

    What we can do better:

    • fediverse login instead of spotify
    • submit from any music service, not just spotify
    • multiple playlist options, with a note for when a certain song isn’t on a service

    This shouldn’t be an annual event, but rather a perpetual one









  • Oh Woah, one of these?

    Two lines of the song are sung by the inmate Murphy in the 1992 film Alien 3 immediately prior to his death. Brief snippets are played in “The Time Is Now”, the second-season finale of the TV show Millennium, which depicts an apocalyptic event. The song was rewritten and used as the introductory theme for the 2000 TV series Cleopatra 2525. In 2010, it was parodied as “In the Year 252525” in the seventh episode of Futurama’s sixth season, “The Late Philip J. Fry”, as Fry, Professor Farnsworth and Bender travel forwards through time to find a period in which the backwards time machine has been invented.[18] The song acts as an aesthetic theme to the film Gentlemen Broncos.[19] The BBC Radio series 2525, a sketch show set in the year 2525, featured a cover of the song with its first lyric as its introductory theme.
















  • The line is quippy, but it’s silly when you look at the batman stories. Anything can be funny if you get reductionist with it

    When the writers have her saving plants, they do it in a way that you root for her. Same with Mr. Freeze, those episodes and the movie is really touching, solely because of his motivation.

    You don’t root for batman to beat them up or flex his wealth on them, you want Batman to help them. You want them both to get happy endings.

    The stories usually end with batman stopping the carnage, while also arresting whatever CEO was cutting down trees or doing experiments on Nora. In other stories, he funds social programs and advocates for reforms as Bruce Wayne.

    Maybe there are other stories where he acts like a frat boy. I skip content that has shitty writing
