I’m of the thought that AI is plagiarism at best and theft at worst. But I am open to be convinced otherwise.

Indeed a volatile period, much like the mish mash of style evolution and devolution of NYC from 72-77.
These are my favorite times in pop music, when the popular becomes boring and everyone starts stretching for the new sound.
The only addendum I have is crediting Prince with Nothing Compares 2 U

It’s still important to recognize the contributions of Bambaata while placing him in context. We should also do this with many, Phil Spector, Wagner, Michael Jackson, etc etc.

Can you imagine being at one Herc’s early parties?

Actually Washington did foresee an entire political party going this way.

Larger scale anarcho-collectives.

This should go without saying, but the best thing for Canada to do as the United States quickly spirals into fascism and corrupt autocracy, isn’t to try to seem more like the United States.

It’s to quickly double down on being even MORE Canadian.

That’s the big advantage, the big opportunity.

Jennings: Having someone like Dean Cain out touting itβ€”It's going to help them recruit.

Lathan: It’s not 1995. No cares what Dean Cain thinks.

Saw it yesterday morning and told my grad student from ATL about it.
The NHL is the last of the big 4 to hold out but the AHL, CHL, and pros in Europe already have it, so it’s imminent.

Beginning to wonder if the time of small enclaves of anarcho-communists has returned, and is our best option.

MSM keeps talking about California gerrymandering to offset 5 seats in Texas with 5 seats in Cali.
I’m over here screaming at my radio, MAKE IT TEN OR FIFTEEN.

After today's indiscriminate (well actually discriminating because of color, language and location). The renditioning to 3rd countries, the concentration camp in Florida, and other private prisons (concentration camps) that cannot house the numbers. I can safely say Trump is channeling Hitler.

Pssst, if you have to claim it's "punk rock" it isn't.

Combine this with their long held aversion (demonization) of social services and what you have is cognitive dissonance.
