@jonmyers@josefandre_ As a music lover, the number of vinyl bars that range from classical to jazz to hip hop to rock are astounding. Sitting back with a local shochu listening to some incredible music on wax is something that’s hard to find at that level anywhere else.
@jonmyers@josefandre_ There’s nothing like Japan. When someone creates something there, there is a decent chance it will be the best, most polished version of that thing. I don’t think I would live there as it’s hard for outsiders to fully integrate, but as a visitor it’s hard to top.
@uTobian I believe that fascism starts at the top. If we can agree that we live in a corporate fascist country, then it becomes obvious that all propaganda pushed forward in schools and in media will have a bias towards it.
@ericweinstein Interesting that you don’t get Fripp. There’s so much to pull from. One way in might be Daryl Hall’s incredible solo album that he did with Fripp, “Sacred Songs.” As for Holdsworth, have you ever hear the first UK album? Or this banger? https://t.co/0vxUGl9fy8
@ChrisMartzWX To be fair, those same billionaires lobby for regulations that only they can afford to adhere to, effectively shutting out upstarts. If we moved away from the corporate fascism we live under and actually became capitalist, that would be great.
@ChrisMartzWX Teddy Rosevelt will always be my favorite. The man made real, lasting change. Well, until we decided to bring back monopolies but oh well.
@ChildrensHD Covid was my wake up call. Before this, I despised “antivaxxers” and I couldn’t understand how anyone would want to stop something that has been so important to society. Feeling the backlash for being skeptical of the mRNA products got me asking questions about all of it.
@bergramo@MidwesternDoc@kassiekitson I love reframing it this way. Much like focusing on pollution instead of climate change would make a lot more sense and draw in a many more people.
@shellenberger The real problem is that whomever takes power suddenly loves censorship. If only their once free speech loving bases would call them out for it.
@ChrisMartzWX They do such a good job of memory-holing these old predictions. Thank you for posting these because it will absolutely wake a few people up.
