Onacceptabel dat Paradiso wordt geΓ―ntimideerd vanwege het programmeren van artiesten. Steeds vaker zie ik oproepen om artiesten te cancelen om hun politieke opvattingen of herkomst. In onze rechtsstaat is er maar 1 grens en dat is de wet. Tot die tijd: handen af! van kunstenaars.

I don’t think anyone is prepared for what they just did w/ ICE.

This is not a simple budget increase. It is an explosion - making ICE bigger than the FBI, US Bureau of Prisons, DEA,& others combined.

It is setting up to make what’s happening now look like child’s play. And people are disappearing.

Roep NSC op geen mens illegaal te maken: stop de asielwet! Als de Tweede Kamer morgen voor de asielwet stemt, zullen ongedocumenteerde mensen strafbaar worden. Ook organisaties en mensen die hen helpen, kunnen dan vervolgd worden. Mail nu naar NSC-Kamerleden ...

Als de asielwet een meerderheid krijgt, zullen ongedocumenteerde mensen en iedereen die hen helpt strafbaar worden. Mail nu naar NSC-Kamerleden om dit tegen te houden! campagnes.degoedezaak.org/campaigns/ns...

GroenLinks-PvdA probeert (opnieuw) de Kamer te overtuigen van Ketikoti een officiΓ«le feestdag te maken Als 1 juli een officiΓ«le herdenkings- en feestdag wordt, geeft dat de herdenking van het slavernijverleden meer gewicht, vindt GroenLinks-PvdA.

Complexiteit is, nouja, complex, maar deze onderzoekers proberen er vat op te krijgen Een zwerm spreeuwen vormt een complex systeem, net als bijvoorbeeld de menselijke hersenen, financiΓ«le markten en klimaatverandering. Het lukt steeds beter om deze systemen te begrijpen.

Saw so many amazing bands at South of Heaven Festival, together with Oscar Levelt πŸ’ͺ😎. Decapitated was awesome, Sylosis as well, but hell, Meshuggah they’re the absolute kings. Their music is insane and their lightshow sick. Really incredible. Do go and see them if you can.

They know everyone is watching, and they don’t mind because it’s their way to create fear.

YouTube video by symbolkid Miles Davis - Turnaroundphrase (November 3 1973, Vienna)

Drummer great Al Foster has died. His credits number several hundred, but it’s his plying with Miles Davis on those killer early to mid 70s albums (studio and live) that stick out for me. Here he is live with MD’s group in 1973. RIP.
