People are celebrating the “hip hop-ification” of country music.
They’re treating it like a victory lap. The last holdout has fallen. Total cultural dominance achieved.
I think it’s the opposite. This feels less like a triumph and more like a death knell.
Country music started as Black music. The banjo came from enslaved Africans. DeFord Bailey was a star of early country radio, until he wasn’t welcome anymore. The culture slowly expelled the people who built it, then rewrote the origin story.
Hip hop stayed relevant because it resisted that process. When white artists crossed the line, they got called out. Gatekeeping was not a bug. It was the immune system.
Kid Rock was the warning shot. He started in hip hop, then pivoted to country. He’s trash, but even he knew there were limits. He cosplayed. He didn’t try to erase the lineage.
The next wave will not be that restrained. Especially when the original line between country and blues was racial segregation pretending to be taste.
When rich white artists make country that sounds like hip hop, strip out the history, and call it innovation, that’s when hip hop actually dies.
Rock already went that way. We know how this ends.
These are the worst days of winter. I could hardly have WiFi today. We live without electricity without internet 😔💔. We are living in extreme cold and suffering. I can't light a fire because of the heavy rain. Please help me buy a gas cylinder to cook for my family.
Please donate 🙏 please share 🙏

Video footage posted to social media shows a passerby dressed in a white T-shirt and dark pants crouching behind a parked car before sneaking up behind a gunman, grabbing him and wrestling away his firearm. The bystander then points the weapon at the gunman, who falls to the ground.
The intervention drew wide praise, including from Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu. New South Wales Premier Chris Minns called it the “most unbelievable scene.”

It really is devious how #tiktok is punishing creators who talk about Israel’s or ICE’s crimes.
They don’t just shadowban the videos, but when those people go live, they’ve #banned certain terms from the comments, and typing them is held as a #strike which goes against the creator!
And not just that, but the terms are only banned for certain users, so other people may type them just fine to elicit doubt on the matter.

Please could we have a distro that, at least, simplifies the task of porting or reinstalling dozens of applications every time you distro-hop?
A couple of my troubles:
Even plain Ubuntu let me down with the appimage of the free version of the bibliographic system Mendeley (vital for some of us). Mint doesn't like Snap, and I won't even mention Flatpak.
Ubuntu offers full LaTeX, but it isn't full, missing some Tikz bits. You have to go to tug.org, which installs then tells you you have to set your own paths. Look up how to do that & find 100s of geek discussions on which obscure config files not to modify.
