I need someone who knows more about vinyl than me to explain why the pressings from big acts are almost always lower quality than those from smaller indie acts
Am I having bad luck? Manufacturing differences?

Is it just trying to get away from the horrible branding the red hats have now, or something else?

It's always felt like I just jumped from one end of the political spectrum mess of the old bird app to the other end of the spectrum mess here. It's too much.

thereβs also the cross-pollination from instagram where folks are getting loads more engagement since there is less friction for millions more people- and not just βnormiesβ but celebs and cultural production heavy-hitters.
I fear we lost the battle of Forum of Culture to threads like you suggest
The point is, if people work on making BlueSky better, with more culture, people will come here and *not* support meta.

People ask what it is exactly we expect of Dems in this situation, and for me it's this.
Make these assholes fucking scared.
Make it clear that they are on borrowed time, that consequences WILL arrive, and that they will be harsh.
When this ICE shit started, a mutual Iβd never met asked how to help. I sent him to a friendβs kidβs preschool that was struggling to find patrollers. Heβs been there almost daily, even in brutal cold, at a school where he didnβt know anyone, to keep folks safe. We finally met and got beers tonight.

I don't believe in any gods.
But I do believe in Dolly Parton.
Calling your reps and senators can feel really nerve racking at first. We actually did an episode about this on How to Save a planet which I cannot fucking find but an easy solution is to do it with a friend.
The more you do it the less stressful it gets.
As renown philosopher George W. Bush once sagely opined:
"There's an old saying in TennesseeβI know it's in Texas, probably in Tennesseeβthat says 'Fool me once, shame on . . . shame on you. Fool meβyou can't get fooled again'"
