  • 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





  • Louis-Dreyfus’ interview with Kara Swisher followed her profile in The New York Times from earlier this month in which she made headlines for saying it’s a “red flag” when comedians complain about political correctness. While she never mentioned her “Seinfeld” co-star Jerry Seinfeld by name, her interview was published soon after he went viral for blaming the “extreme left and P.C. culture” for killing TV comedy because “people [are now] worrying so much about offending other people.”

    “To have an antenna about sensitivities is not a bad thing,” Louis-Dreyfus told The Times. “It doesn’t mean that all comedy goes out the window as a result. When I hear people starting to complain about political correctness — and I understand why people might push back on it — but to me that’s a red flag, because it sometimes means something else.”
