Every reputable expert I know considers mRNA vaccine technology to be one of the most revolutionary advances in medicine in our lifetimes. Its inventors won the Nobel Prize in 2023. Shutting it down now is pointless self-harm to humanity.

this goes well with my viewpoint that famous people shouldn’t have podcasts. it’s not for them. they should be shamed for doing it. starting a podcast should be many rungs below going on reality tv

we just ordered one of these a few days ago. I found setting up timed focuses on iOS with different home screens also helped me a ton as I’m a real “out of sight out of mind” kinda guy. I also deleted linked in from my phone because… I have a job?

Q: Does political music change anything? Do you want it to? And is that intention for change external, or internal: a changing of hearts, not of social structures? To what extent does Montreal and its politics make you the people you are and the band you are? Do you have narratives in your heads for your music? How problematic is it if people listening hear a different narrative? A: What's political music? All music is political, right? You either make music that pleases the king and his court, or you make music for the serfs outside the walls. It's what music (and culture) is for, right? To distract or confront, or both at the same time? So many of us know already that shit is fucked.

In a lot of crucial ways, it's easier to find common cause than it was 10 or 20 years ago. You talk to strangers in bars or on the street, and you realise that we're all up to our eyeballs in it, right? So that right now, there's more of us than ever. It's a true fact. Every day it gets a little harder to pretend that everything's OK. The rich keep getting more and we keep getting less. Post-9/11, post-7/7, there's a police state that tightens more every day, and in our day-to-days, we're all witnesses to the demeaning outcomes of debauched governance - random traffic stops, collapsing infrastructure, corrupt bureaucrats and milk-fed police with their petty intrusions. Our cities are broke, they lay

intrusions. Our cities are broke, they lay patches on top of patches of concrete, our forests cut down and sold to make newspapers just to tell us about traffic that we get stuck in. You get a parking ticket and you waste a day in line. Cop shoots kid, kid shoots kid, homeless man dies waiting to see a doctor, old men lay in hospital beds while a broken bureaucracy steals away what's left of their dignity. Folks flee to our shores, running from the messes we've made in their countries, and we treat them like thieves.

going to get torn away. Turn on the radio, and it's a fucking horror show, the things our governments do in our name, just to fatten themselves on our steady decline. Meanwhile, most of us are hammering away at a terrible self-alienation, mistreated, lied to and blamed. Burning fields and a sky filled with drones. The fruit rots on the vine while millions starve.

I keep coming back to Godspeed You! Black Emperor’s rare interview from 12 years ago for a reminder about the purpose of art in our current time.

“All music is political, right? You either make music that pleases the king and his court, or you make music for the serfs outside the walls.”

we need the government to make wild fires illegal immediately

decentralizing it is fine, maybe even good. the nba/nfl drafts are more fun to watch and it’s not because they feature a bunch of dumpy guys in cheap suits hovering over laptops and thanking everyone on earth before saying a name. the picks took too long and the panel and interviews were awful.

this list is the most missing broken social scene - you forgot it in people list of all time

what one did you use and what did you move to?

ya but what about the 2x a year you need a laptop
