Possibly the worst defense yet of Garry Tan’s tweeting of death threats towards San Francisco’s elected legislature. In yet more evidence for my “HN is a Nazi bar” thesis, this take is from an otherwise-respected cryptographer and security researcher. Choice quote:

sorry, but 2Pac is now dad music, I don’t make the rules

Best sneer so far is this comment, which links to this Key & Peele sketch about violent rap lyrics in the context of gang violence.

    Wait that is Finnish? ;)

    I just copy pasted a piece of metal text which I knew I couldn’t understand when I heard it. (Did check if first if it doesn’t shout something vile however) Was worried somebody would go ‘that isn’t black metal that is pagan metal!’ and I would lose my metal card.

      Being worried that someone calls you out for misidentifying a metal subgenre is a metal fan staple. In any case Moonsorrow is definitely at least BM adjacent and a lot of black metal musicians are pagan for… varyingly good reasons.

      Hmm dunno, “The ice blinds your eyes as far as the eye can see, the wind furiously slashes through hands, the mountains surround their prey…” Sounds pretty violent 😉
