Yeah, sampling and digital music production has made music way more accessible in the absence of public music programs that teach actual music theory and how to play instruments etc.
This is very much a double edged sword.

guards ignore—but are trained—that withdrawal is a life threatening condition, and ignoring someone in withdrawal is both deliberate and indifferent

the fact that they were *wrong* about this person’s emergency doesn’t make their conduct any less deliberate or indifferent

in 2011, the president of antifa hired me to give fashion consultancy to the organization. i recommended everyone wear navy suits with tan shoes, dress sneakers, and golf polos with slim chinos. if you arrested everyone today wearing these things, you'd destroy antifa

a crude drawing of a trash bin with a large human face sticking out of the top of it, surrounded by trash, with the caption "early testing for the public trash bins with human faces that beg to be fed garbage indicated that most found them too unsettling to use. However, the small number of participants, including some investors, who said they found the bins deeply erotic, and attempted to form romantic relationships with the bins was considered promising enough to continue funding the project."

Is this a thing people would like?

There is the Community of Christ, which an early LDS offshoot that's pretty progressive, but they don't really ID as Mormons, and are pretty small.

2 Teen Girls Died In a Hit-And-Run. Another Teen Faces Murder Charges.

The New York Times doesn't tell you why the alleged murderer said he sent pizzas to the victim's house just before he ran down the girl and her best friend. He said on video that he was getting revenge for social media comments about death of Charlie Kirk.

Conservatives love to darkly say stuff like “you aren’t prepared for what’s next, we’re not going to be moderate anymore, you have no idea what you’ve unleashed” and then cry like babies when you call them fascists

stadium blaring roundball rock as a casket is pushed out of the c-130 overhead; a big bullseye painted on the field with “free 10 oz black rifle coffee” in the center

I mean, that's kind of been a general problem with her. Taking a gather data and see approach is a great general management concept but it doesn't really work for shit like basic human rights.

Meghan Blanco, an attorney who represented Mojica, said it was significant that jurors did not believe the statements of such a senior official. “These jurors had the opportunity to listen firsthand to the CBP officer overseeing enforcement nationally and could not have found his testimony to be credible,” said Blanco, a former federal prosecutor. “It is a bad sign for the federal government. They are doing everything they can to try to legitimize their prosecutions, and thank God the jury and the public are seeing right through it.”

underneath all the doom and hideous stuff happening at the top of our country is a more inspiring story: regular Americans are not buying all this crap. and they're still willing to call the government out on it.

"Portrait of a bush-league fuehrer named Peter Vollmer, a sparse little man who feeds off his self-delusions and finds himself perpetually hungry for want of greatness in his diet. And like some goose-stepping predecessors, he searches for something to explain his hunger, and to rationalize why a world passes him by without saluting. The something he looks for and finds is in a sewer. In his own twisted and distorted lexicon, he calls it faith, strength, truth. But in just a moment, Peter Vollmer will ply his trade on another kind of corner, a strange intersection in a shadowland called the Twilight Zone."

Rod Serling always knew what was up

Liberalism in general suffers a lot from its practice of mollifying people by telling them that in the future, other people will not experience the hardships they are presently going through unremedied

As if Kirk would have willingly debated anyone on his level. The whole shtick of TPUSA was to target college students to generate video clips. Talking to Kirk was a one way ticket to having your face posted online with a slanderous tagline.

Liberals now feeling what it has been like to support Palestine in the US. Every word twisted. Loss of job for a simple opinion. Taken off air for a monologue. Lists to target you. Employers harassed. It feels endless, coming from all directions. It only gets worse from here

a key reason they see an opening for such a blatant speech crackdown is that they already did one to Palestinian and anti-genocide activists and it got enthusiastic bipartisan approval

I know some folx won't believe shit 'til they touch the stove themselves, but that searing sensation and kind of grilled pork smell should be a clue.

in retrospect, there’s probably never been a name as threatening as “America Online”

utah police wisely choosing not to show the bullet casing that says ‘if you read this you are gay’ bc they know it would instantly turn the country gay

I guess the main thing I’m learning this week is that lots of elite media people knew charlie kirk personally and didn’t know any minnesota state legislators

In case you were wondering why the incorrect rumor of “trans activist” and “fascist symbols” on ammo started, it’s because arrows and initials are common ways manufacturers stamp ammo.

Including “TRN” the ironsight and a direction broad arrow:

Ultimately everything always boils down to "I am upset not by violence but by this specific kind of person experiencing violence, which is supposed to happen to a different sort of person for whom the violence against them is something I am desensitized to"

In the blurring of memory that comes with time, it will fall on historians to point out that the deployment of the military to cities, the disappearances of student activists and immigrants, and the federal takeovers of policing all *preceeded*, not followed, the death of a demagogue.

It’s gonna be so weird watching establishment dems be performatively sadder about this than they were about the colleague and her husband and dog who got shot and killed

every time an encampment is swept the government is purposely creating the conditions for ICE to come in and take more folks! your "progressive" council member is directly assisting ICE, no matter what they say! :)

at no point did we defund the police. it's important when we talk about defunding the police to note it never actually happened. would it work? we don't know! but merely phrasing the idea succinctly incited a reactionary backlash that put fascists in charge of all 3 branches of government. curious!

A lot of people seem to be under the impression than he can just have the military unilaterally seize control of the whole country, which of course has it's own massive practical issues.
