Everyone puts things like "Loving husband and father" on their gravestone. What a sad way to sum up an entire life. What about "Hard working employee"

One thing I’m seeing is people saying “I’m not leaving Substack just because there are people there I disagree with.” Ok but Substack is PAYING those people to be there. They are paying Bari Weiss, for example. It’s not like Wordpress which is just a host. Substack is making editorial decisions.

Pissing at the moon. One of Bruegel the Elder’s Twelve Proverbs (1558), painted on serving plates. After consuming the sweet offered, diners would flip the plates and muse over the imparted wisdom. More here: publicdomainreview.org/collection/b...

In light of everything happening, I wrote about how the KKK in the 1920s felt unstoppable, about the people that fought against them anyway, and about how fascism always fails. dansinker.com/posts/202…

I'm attending the Irish Music Camp Summit online today and hoping to learn how we can bring more #IrishTrad musicians to the US in a sustainable way for all.

I'm gonna keep reposting examples of people not taking shit because it's important for us to see that you can, simply, reject the shit. Say "Uh... no no no, we will not be tolerating that."

Not just the highly educated. Welsh miners formed study groups to read Austen and Dickens. Scottish shepherds built lending libraries. Watchmakers & cabinetmakers taught themselves Greek and Latin. The loss of working-class autodidact culture is one of history's great tragedies.

"Move fast and break things" sounds like some bold techbro vision of innovation, but it's also the same motto of thieves who want to do a smash-and-grab and get the fuck out before anybody can catch them.

I just got a copy of this CD in the mail. This album, with a handful of others, has a special place in my music vault. I’ll drop a video and tell you a story in the thread. youtu.be/Oe03YOdLHKY?... #trad #folk #Bretagne

Nursing a take that the major Silicon Valley firms can be understood as organized crime syndicates and perform some of the same functions as the old ones used to — money laundering, feeding addictions, skirting regulations, political influence.

A new workout method called Thrashflow, where participants air-play various instruments over 100db 1990s thrash. The indoor bike version will be called Pelothrash. Stay tuned for my Kickstarter.

Some of y’all still playing that stupid Red/Blue game. You need to come around to the fact that Chuck Schumer has more in common with Mitch McConnell than he has with you. For them this ain’t about country, it’s about country club. They’re looking out for each other. They’re not like us.
