does literally anyone do this kind of thing in earnest, and not because they're a Republican faking an attack or simulating property damage

basketball has an injury crisis because they're cramming too many games in, esp back-to-backs, and the ever-evolving sport now makes players run more than ever, but players won't volunteer to make less for fewer games when they can simply sit and make the same money

I rate the NPs as one of the 3-4 greatest bands of the century and I just learned that their name didn't come from the Jimmy Swaggart quote
![The more I thought about it, it just seemed like a bad-faith argument [for changing the name]. I named it after a Japanese movie by Shōhei Imamura [1966’s The Pornographers], so, should we go to the estate of Shōhei Imamura and say, “You should change the name of that movie because there was a band that named themselves after your movie, and this happened”? And from a purely pragmatic point of view, if we changed our name, people would go, “Who is this new band? Oh, it’s the New Pornographers, they changed their name. Why did they change their name? Because of this.” Or, we were gonna change the spelling of the name. “Well, why did they change the spelling of the name? Because of this.” It seemed to me, if you don’t want to talk about it, the best thing you could do was just continue with our name. I’m sure I’m going to be saying this 50 times in the next year.](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:zq5bfggbq3lmhkdqm3xnx6s5/bafkreihc3cjled2ijakrcgxu66t5pyxpqgck6lb4vdsq7rx7tghrr5tx4a@jpeg)
