  • Right now Meloni is suing Daniele Fabbri, a stand-up comedian, for a satirical video he published in 2021.

    The comedian was commenting on some sexist insults the politician received, saying that it’s possible to criticise a public figure without being misoginistic. Being a comedian he did that by listing some overly childish insults along the lines of “stinky” and such.

    It is very troubling when a prime minister aims to silence dissident voices exercising the protected right to satire, and I find it particularly egregious given said person was basically defending her as a woman even while criticising her as a politician and public figure.

    In the realm of epic/symphonic metal you probably can’t throw a stone without hitting an amazing female vocalist. Simone Simons from Epica, Nightwish’s Floor Jansen, Sharon den Adel (Within Temptation), and Zora Cock for Blackbrariar are the first that come to mind.

    For folk metal there’s Eluveitie with two members and Folkstone with I think one.

    Very worth mentioning is Alyssa and her harsh vocals, from Arch Enemy.

    While she’s not been a member in a long while, I have to mention Vibeke Stene as the vocalist from Tristania, maybe my all time favorite.

    For all female bands there’s Girlschool, and you could say Babymetal, even if they have more members playing with them I don’t know how permanent they are.

    Others that I know of but haven’t really listened much by would be Jinjer and Halestorm.

    That’s what I can think of off the top of my head, but there’s so much more.

    Edit: I almost forgot but I have to add: Amy Lee from Evanescence and Cristina Scabbia from Lacuna Coil.




  • I have a FP5 and while I’m still mad about the headphone jack missing, I’m pretty happy with it.

    I ultimately made the choice because I want to support people making repairable tech and also because performances aren’t improving as fast as they did 10 years ago, so I’m OK with not having the best components.
