    Last year, Ticketmaster and LiveNation invested in a former military facial recognition company, with the hope that the technology could be used to both strengthen and speed up event entry

    Because of course

      He’s duckin’ them drones, he’s swerving them cams,

      He’s rockin’ that greasepaint, confusin’ the scans.

      Facial recognition? Ha, you ain’t got a shot,

      When my mug’s lookin’ wilder than a Jackson Pollock!

      He’s pourin’ out Faygo, all sticky and sweet,

      Splashin’ those lenses, now the fuzz can’t see.

      He’s trickin’ Big Brother, he’s hackin’ the flow,

      They livin’ 1984, but he’s sayin’ “Fuck no!”

          Yah, it was a big ol subculture in the 00s. Still kinda around but nowhere near as much. I grew up around some. Crunchy as hell but extremely anti-racist and anti-homophobia (despite almost all of them gratuitously using the word “fag” and all its other forms, but that was the style at the time.) I had almost entirely good experiences with them.

    Great until the cops are looking for that one Juggalo in Jamestown but you have to represent…

        Homies and spin the bottle lol

        Homies is just a great track, period. If anyone else had done it, it would have been bigger than it was.

        Spin the bottle is less great overall, but I like it anyway

          fr from Feb 2024-Jan 2026 if I was listening to music, 90% of the time it was ICP. But before that there were two songs I really liked: When I’m Clownin and Hokus Pokus.

          Spin the bottle

          hadn’t heard that one… I still need to check out all the collaborations they did with people like Twiztid.

            Yeah, and Twiztid has a few decent tracks as well.

            Wouldn’t be able to name them without looking up though, not something I listen to a lot.

            One of the things about ICP is that I tend to appreciate parts of their lyrics, but the rest falls flat. I don’t dislike their music, it just doesn’t do it for me. It falls right under the threshold where I won’t change it if it’s playing and I can change it. I tend not to be able to listen long because I’d rather have something else, or even silence, rather than have them in the background for extended listening. But I can tolerate it for short and medium times.

    People will call the cops on clowns they spot on the street, and cops respond. I kid you not, at least in some places.

      If you’re thinking of Darth Maul, that was his face because he was a Zabrak and they sport facial tattoos. Facial tattoos aren’t a necessary feature of the Sith.

          From wookiepedia:

          Physical characteristics

          Distinctions

          Vestigial horns,[1] two hearts,[3] facial tattoos

          Elsewhere

          The majority of Zabraks wore facial tattoos which often indicated familial ties, but could also simply be based on an individual’s personal taste.

          In one of the books it talks about him earning the tattoos. I think they were related to sith alchemy or rituals but were fairly niche among the sith. Palpetine was a weird one even for the sith it seems.
