It depends, I am no expert either by the way, but nobility had composers at the court just for entertainment purposes and sponsored them. IIRC Händel was someone who wrote the equivalent of pop music.

For anyone wondering why there hasn't been a giant expose on Landis yet, please read the following link:

http://www.pajiba.com/celebrities_a...is-sexual-assault-allegations-and-silence.php

TLDR: His father covers it up, and Max himself is quick to blackmail, or attack anyone he sees as a threat.

This sounds a little GamerGatelite for me.

Where was this from?  The link is now dead, have to google it and pull up the cache  :thinking

https://www.resetera.com/threads/screenwriter-max-landis-stages-his-metoo-comeback-with-a-girl-power-action-movie.98520/

The link is this:

http://www.pajiba.com/celebrities_are_better_than_you/max-landis-sexual-assault-allegations-and-silence.php

Quote
All we have right now are claims that Landis’s sexually abusive behavior is an “open secret” — and maybe that will change tomorrow, or next month, or next year. Maybe someone will come forward. Maybe they won’t. Maybe we’ll never know for sure what truth there is to this open secret. Nobody is required to give us, the public, any sort of “proof.” But also remember that innocent until proven guilty is reserved for a court of law, and for better or worse this reckoning is largely being hashed out in the court of public opinion right now. When it comes to Landis (and anyone else who has accusations swirling around them), each of us can choose to believe the whispers and believe women, or we can choose to ignore it all. We can take the ample evidence of bullying, manipulation, and being an asshole — from his own mouth and pen, no less — and we can hold him accountable for at least THAT. We can choose to watch the next Max Landis joint, or we can skip it. We have that power.

Welp.

Bernie used dog-whistles in trying to appeal broadly to as many people as possible with the generalities of his unusual platform much as, another violent racist, Ron Paul had, while Hillary was truly authentic and familiar with the minority experience and spoke to it from the heart.

Like how she was being investigated for federal crimes, black people could identify with that. Bernie had nothing. And Hillary had her beard marriage with Bill while having a lesbian relationship on the side with Huma, extremist lesbian TERFs could identify with that. Bernie had nothing. And when Hillary died on 9/11, all of America could identify with that. Bernie had nothing.

So, when you go to that first image, you get "gregpalast.com" as a link.

"Greg Palast Venezuela" gets you this link to - "Chavez, Maduro and Venezuela: The story they don’t want you to read"

The contents of which I'm going to spoiler because they're utter horseshit.
Quote
Venezuelan president Nicholás Maduro wrote on Op Ed published in the New York Times yesterday calling for peace.

As someone who knows president Nicholás Maduro, Hugo Chavez’ successor, (and Maduro’s opponents), I can say that I’ve never met a head of state (and I’ve met many) who absolutely gives a real shit about the average working person of his nation.

Venezuela is Occupy Wall Street on its head: the 1% are out in the street, violently hoping to overthrow the government elected by working people. Are the Kochs involved?
Followed by all sorts of other links to more conspiratorial propaganda about how Maduro and Chavez are great wonderful people and the US Media isn't showing you the REAL truth.

And currently on his front page is an article claiming that this is all about "White Supremacy" and not starving people, mass exodus of refugees, and a failing economy as Venezuela's become a vassal state propped up by other parties.

Congratulations, you've managed to source information from someone who appears to be the Alex Jones of the left, snowing gullible lefties into believing that horrific dictators are actually benevolent socialists who would only be doing better if it weren't for the evil *insert scapegoat here*.

Bernie should stay out, yet it seems more and more likely he's going to run. It's a pity the progressive bench isn't built up so their side is forced to ride his coattails in the presidential primaries due to lack of diversity. I have my doubts about AOC, but between the two I'd have more faith in her running than him and she's a rookie who hasn't been in sworn in. Every progressive seems to have learnt from his mistakes, except Bernie.

you telling me this isn't an obvious alt account? why i gotta do everything for the mods

When you ask a question at a lecture, is it secretly just your opinion ending with the phrase “do you agree?” If so, your name is something like Jake, or Chad, or Alex, and you were taught that your voice is the most important in every room. Somewhere along your academic journey, you decided your search for intellectual validation was more important than the actual exchange of information. Now how do you expect to actually learn anything?

American society tells men, but especially white men, that their opinions have merit and that their voice is valuable, but after four years of listening to white boys in college, I am not so convinced. In my time at Dickinson I have listened to probably hundreds of white boys talk. It feels incessant. From classes and lectures, to the news and politics, there is an endless line of white boys waiting to share their opinions on the state of feminism in America, whether the LGBTQ+ population finally has enough rights, the merits of capitalism, etc. The list of what white boys think they are qualified to talk about is endless. Something very few of them seem to understand is that their (ill-informed, uncritical) opinions do not constitute truth. In fact, most often their opinions aren’t even original. White boys spout the narrative of dominant ideologies and pretend they’re hot takes instead of the same misleading garbage shoved down our throats by American institutions from birth.

I am so g****mned tired of listening to white boys. I cannot describe to you how frustrating it is to be forced to listen to a white boy explain his take on the Black experience in the Obama-era. Hey Brian, I’m an actual Black woman alive right now with a brain. In what world would your understanding of my life carry more weight than my understanding? Unfortunately, it is this world, where white men debate the pain of other people for fun and then take away their rights. The second thing most white boys seem not to understand is that they do not exist separate from the rest of the world. You do not speak alone, you speak with the weight of every other white man who has spoken over a woman, erased the contributions of queer people from history, or denigrated “broken English” as unintelligent.  You speak with the weight of policies and laws meant to forever define intelligence by how it measures up to the bros of America.

So, should white boys still be allowed to share their “opinions”? Should we be forced to listen? In honor of Black History Month, I’m gonna go with a hell no. Go find someone whose perspective has been buried or ignored and listen to them, raise up their voice. To all the Chrises, Ryans, Olivers, and Seans out there, I encourage you to critically examine where your viewpoints come from, read a text that challenges you without looking for reasons to dismiss it, and maybe try listening from now on.
