It's live! I'm so happy with how this tune turned out. Stream it, or buy it on bandcamp.

@Freeyourmindkid Yeah, one of the functions of public health policy currently is to drain hope and energy from those of us who tend to care about others. Seems like it's a feature, not a bug.

[John Griffith @JohnGriffithW]

Oh, maybe mass disabling covid policies and queerphobic fascism both function to increase the number of effectively marginalized people, which is required for the liberal democratic system of hierarchical violent power to maintain legitimacy.

@GroundUpWR getting people to fill this out might be a way to get more media coverage of the far-right move to take over WRDSB - worth a try? https://t.co/bJGgDgzCOr

me, listening to GSYBE

There are three kinds of classic rock and they are sabbath, floyd, and wine.

[John Griffith @JohnGriffithW]

Is it weird to be a musician with no clue what a music genre is?

[John Griffith @JohnGriffithW]

Couldn't resist :)

@HarshaWalia In high school, when I wouldn't stand for the anthem during the first gulf war, they had me go to the library instead of home room. I wish I had refused - I had all the privilege in that school, but I didn't realize what they were pulling. Props to this kid for knowing better!

@butchanarchy Technology so often disempowers specifically by abstracting from the labor - the politics generally - that hide behind consumption. Strongly democratic, i.e. anarchic, techniques in contrast ought to engage us instead. (k that was actually my phd thesis, fwiw 🤷‍♂️)

[John Griffith @JohnGriffithW]

Okay, hear me out: a platform for transferring funds for mutual aid, like Patreon but for anarchists. We'll call it Patriarchy.

...

No?

@_llebrun @RodneyTori (To be clear, anyone who stands with a party that, among other things, promotes the anti trans bs we just heard from the ppc should be condemned *for that*)

[John Griffith @JohnGriffithW]

@_llebrun @RodneyTori People! For crying out loud, criticize his politics, but let him have his religious beliefs which hurt no one. We oppose the PPC because they're bigots, right?

[John Griffith @JohnGriffithW]

@M3rcaptan Sorry, I meant "slippery with words" roughly the same as "they're lying and they know it": I agree with most of what you said, just wondering if the consequence is mostly derailment rather than being robbed of any language.

[John Griffith @JohnGriffithW]

@M3rcaptan I don't know if it really stops anyone from expressing themselves, but being slippery with words does rob people of their time.

@Eric0Lawton @Cate__Johnson @RodneyTori That's an amazing graph! Do you happen to have the source?

[John Griffith @JohnGriffithW]

Gear notes, if that's your thing: amp sim is Nembrini Audio's mrh159 in "brown sound" mode, with a https://t.co/KvJ37xPHVS fuzz face in front. Delay is Unfiltered Audio Sandman.

[John Griffith @JohnGriffithW]

Just messing around with lo-fi delay. #guitartwitter

[John Griffith @JohnGriffithW]

@butchanarchy I wonder if it's useful too, to recognize that communities can choose to provide incentives without having coercive control of resources. "Thanks for dealing with that shit today! Let us make you dinner." (or any of a million variations)

[John Griffith @JohnGriffithW]

@RiotLinguist They're basically handing the libertarians their argument against "communism" (that it's slavery). I'm new here: are these twitter MLs actually marxists? Seems so weird.

[John Griffith @JohnGriffithW]

When did Ontario covid policy become "let's just most of us get sick" and why? I hate this.
