Dead Kennedys at WUST Radio Music Hall, DC in 1985. Jello Biafra his usual self before launching into “Nazi Punks Fuck Off” — originally released in ‘81, but written in the late 70s. DK influenced some of my fave metal bands, including Napalm Death who covered it in next post ⇩

@CathyReisenwitz Often (but not always): The moral panic around (fill in the blank) is far more damaging and dangerous than (fill in the blank)

@CathyReisenwitz …of increased rumination, social isolation

@CathyReisenwitz I guess: what percent of a population (that is stressed/depressed), are mindfully, thoughtfully choosing “birth control is wrong!”, or just reflexively answering what they think is “safe” or familiar. I.e., would they answer the same way 6 months later… especially this era

@CathyReisenwitz It shouldn’t at all: but there are times that I wonder if these surveys reflect an ephemeral “vibe” that may or may not correlate to an actual shift or trend

@CathyReisenwitz I can’t deal with the sheer volume of reality LCD shows anymore. Each has its charm, but they’re mind-numbingly awful.

@CathyReisenwitz Very succinct way of putting it (probably applies to multiple aspects of culture)

@AnalyticaCamil1 It’s the “Beamer Ball” strategy: special teams and punting

@CathyReisenwitz It’s virtually impossible to have meaningful discourse about AI. Everyone brings their own baggage/ accoutrements to the convo.

@CathyReisenwitz Everyone is furiously trying to drive/manage which way the Overton shift goes

@CathyReisenwitz I may or may not have single co-workers in their 40’s/50’s who have jokingly(?) lamented that they want that. It’s probably stronger in rural/southern areas. But even as they joke about it, they’re cognizant of it.

@NateM_Tributary It’s 3 or 4 different states in a trench coat masquerading as a single state

@CathyReisenwitz More and more I think it’s the disparities that create isolation and dysfunction; not just income and wealth, but media, social development, etc. (not advocating for uniformity - but we should name it and recognize it at least)

[Matt Ray Art and Illustration @MattRay7]

@CathyReisenwitz Agreed
