Feeling nostalgic for the '90s Web? As a sort of easter egg, you can now view my site the good oldfashioned way!

An example page of my website, in my official grey-and-yellow colour scheme, with a sensible default look.

The same webpage, rendered in glorious 1990s style, complete with tastefully almost-3D style tables, and serifed typeface. Why, you can practically hear the modem handshaking!

On a classical recording cheekily sampled by synthesiser manufacturer E-mu, and then used by Ultravox, Tangerine Dream, Global Communication, The Orb, and Underworld, probably without any of them realising where it came from:

notebook.zoeblade.com/Anitras_Danc...

Anitra's Dance is a piece of music from Grieg's Peer Gynt. A performance of it by the San Francisco Symphony & Chorus was released by Philips in 1983.

The tail end of it features an isolated A minor chord, which was subsequently sampled and included on disk 65 of the official Emulator II library. From there, it was inevitably resampled into other samplers, ultimately ending up on several tracks in the 1980s and 1990s, presumably with the artists involved unaware of its origin.

Sampled by:

Disk 65 ("Orchestral Chords") of the Emulator II's official sample library
"Dreams?" by Ultravox
"Sudden Revelation" by Tangerine Dream
"Sublime Creation" by Global Communication
"Satellite Serenade (Transasian Express)" by Keiichi Suzuki, remixed by The Orb
"Mmm Skyscraper I Love You" by Underworld (Em, Bm, Am)

Today is a day when arts degrees are worthless, but the product of those degrees is so valuable it would kill an entire industry if they were made to pay for it.

"1488" is an explicitly Neo-Nazi slogan.

"Tomorrow belongs to me", is a reference to a Hitler Youth Song.
These are not concerned locals. These are White Supremacists chanting Neo-Nazi slogans in full view of the police just days after an antisemitic attack on a synagogue. In Aberdeenshire!

I don’t want to talk about this because I don’t want to be a target

But on just a human decency level the person tirelessly deleting Gazans just permabanned the guy who uses his thousands strong platform to boost the fundraisers of literally anyone who needs money or mutual aid every single Friday

So are we just gonna ignore that a white kid killed 2 teen girls because he was upset they insulted Charlie Kirk?

Imagine. JUST IMAGINE if this was an undocumented immigrant? But meanwhile I bet you’ve barely heard about this atrocity. SMH www.instagram.com/reel/DPewI1w...

TERRORISM EXPERT HERE:

This statement is a clear example of what is known as “State Terrorism”: When the dictatorship will order all instruments of its state security & intelligence apparatus against its own citizens to terrorize the population.
