#MWE Day 19 Sun City Girls - Torch Of The Mysics sometimes this feels like I’m listening to Geddy Lee doing Velvet Underground covers, and there are some songs here that are downright triumphant. But occasionally the communiques with aliens give Rusted Root if they were cooler and did more drugs

Listening to this Horace Tapscott/Michael Session for the first time in years. What a great recording—both playing as if they're thinking about beautiful things while getting farther & farther out, loveliness lurking even when it gets loud. horacetapscottmichaelsession.bandcamp.com/album/horace...

calling Tutokanula by its colonizer name while draping an American flag off of it in the middle of a park specifically designed to dispossess the Indigenous of their lands and ways of life is not the blow against fascism that people seem to think it is.

To me, a Nazi salute means, "I want to murder your family." There can be no irony about it: It puts deep anger and hatred in my heart to see it done and I will never forgive anyone who justifies or minimizes it.

Nazi shit happens at CPAC every single year now. It's undeniable what that hive is. Anyone denying this shit still has their head so far up their own ass that they should never be taken seriously for any reason on any topic ever again because they're delusional.

People with doctorates are the most liberal and progressive. The entire mission of destroying academia is to eliminate entire voting demographics. They explicitly spell this out. Shutting down PhD programs isn't an accident, it's the goal.
