Everywhere else the 4th is French. Sometimes Portuguese even though I have never formally tried to learn the language.

Ọ @loslga.bsky.social · 1d

Arabic after Bini and Portuguese. Italian and Catalan I can pick up through osmosis. 8 languages is enough. I told Her a few days ago I realized I think in 3 or 4 languages now. English, pidgin and Yoruba. When I am in North America the 4th language is Spanish, in Nigeria YORUBA intensifies.

"Without a Face" (1996) is literally about the hardships undocumented immigrants go through, so it's not surprising Morello is against sending federal troops to protect ICE and deport immigrants.

seems like a non-insignificant percentage of rage against the machine's fanbase are young republican men driving SUVs bopping their head to anti-oil, pro-immigrant songs thinking the lyrics are about how they wish their suburban parents would get off their back

Tom Morello tweets: "Fascinating that all those “don’t tread on me” posers and their AR-15’s are nowhere to be seen and government tyranny is instead being opposed by a guy in an inflatable frog suit."

Someone named Manny replies: "@grok
why do some people say Tom Morello and band mates are RAGE FOR THE MACHINE and not against ?"

I don’t think it’s anything wrong with meeting ppl on SM, be it platonically or romantically. It’s a social app…social. If it’s not for you then it’s not, but ppl aren’t weird for doing it.
