Okay, let me start a new #HouseMusic thread.

First thing's first: I need to post a few junts by the legendary Ron Carroll, who passed away two Sundays ago. RIP!

Here's a classic soulful track with Hardsoul:

On one side you had Daft Punk, on the other side you had Air. The French were DOING IT in the mid-late 90s.

SO MANY PEOPLE ARE about to make Skynet references when the appropriate analogy is that these generals are seeking advice on how to run the military from a Teddy Ruxpin.

Among the most hideous & ubiquitous historical fables taught in this country are about the “discovery” of America and the “settling” of North America by pioneers. But there’s even more.

This Indigenous People’s Day,decide to learn.Ned Blackhawk & @rebeccanagle.bsky.social’s works are extraordinary.

I remember hearing her interviewed multiple times. She spent her entire press run tell people that her character was an irredeemably HORRIBLE person.

I will never forgive whoever in the party reined in Tim Walz on calling them weird.

I may be invisible, but you're transparent. @invisiblelad7.bsky.social · 8h

During the election the whole "joyful warrior", "these guys sure are weird" tactic truly and effortlessly got under their collective skins.

They tried to get us to fear them, Portland has shown us that we out number them.

Mocking them is worse to them than if we were violent towards them.

There are so many lies associated with Columbus Day. He didn't discover America, he wasn't "a man of his time," and the holiday is not a response to "the largest mass lynching in US history." All these lies serve to whitewash US history. open.substack.com/pub/miabrett...

Netanyahu out here bringing up all the previous hostage/ceasefire deals he made and then immediately reneged on. All these folks protesting Kamala look stupid because its clear deals were made and you have a guy who basically was like "Nah, i'm good".

they literally rebelled against him and shipped him back to Spain to go on trial for abuse of power

when he talked his way out of it and went back to the Americas he got shipwrecked and the other Spaniards didn't help him for months cause they HATED him

Columbus learned his methods working slaving ships in the Mediterranean, so when he came to the Americas and saw a group of people he could exploit he did just that and organized a genocidal wave of mass violence, rape, exploitation, and kidnapping on Caribbean peoples, nearly eliminating them

historian of Latin America here, reminder that Columbus's extreme cruelty to indigenous peoples was known to his contemporaries and got him in trouble *then*

yes this man was so racist that he got chastised for it in *1500*

Trump to delegate from UAE: They got a lot of cash, unlimited cash

Folks are going to continue to act like they haven't been played when, in reality, it's time to accept that all of this was planned to ensure that Trump became President again. Trump is repaying Netanyahu by advocating for a pardon because that was the plan. HE WANTED TRUMP TO WIN.
