@BigAngBlack @blackmastodon @BlackMastodon This is like Best New Artist nominee, and you look at his or her Wikipedia, and it's their 7th album.
I will bet my left thumb that Andre has done songs, maybe even EPs, with little to no contribution from Big Boi. And vice versa.
OTOH, new music is always welcome.

THE ILLUSION OF MORAL DECLINE by Adam M. Mastroianni and Daniel T. Gilbert (Nature, 2023).

"In a series of studies using both archival and original data (n = 12,492,983), we show that people in at least 60 nations around the world believe that morality is declining, that they have believed this for at least 70 years and that they attribute this decline both to the decreasing morality of individuals as they age and to the decreasing morality of successive generations. Next, we show that people’s reports of the morality of their contemporaries have not declined over time, suggesting that the perception of moral decline is an illusion. Finally, we show how a simple mechanism based on two well-established psychological phenomena (biased exposure to information and biased memory for information) can produce an illusion of moral decline."

@Barros_heritage @pvonhellermannn @academicchatter I would add ‘no baseline.’ How many people have ever looked up the graph of, oh illegitimate births or divorce rates or adultery rates or addiction over the last 75 years?

There’s always someone’s butt, or Monroe’s skirt or the Beatles’ haircuts to shock the readily shocked.

Mastodon went from 1.2M active users last week to 1.8M active users this week. That's not 70M users overnight, but it's something! 🙂
