When I was placed on the Professor Watchlist in 2021, people sent death threats about my children. I had security officers monitor my 8yo at school.

Where is all the outrage for those of us who have been targeted for years? Where is the outrage for our families?

My own colleagues are silent.
Officiellement le premier disque de rap.
Happy birthday 'Rapper's Delight'. Recorded by the Sugarhill Gang and produced by Sylvia Robinson, it was released on Sept 16th 1979. I can't think of a record that's given audiences at my DJ gigs more consistent joy than this.

I know correlation isn’t causation, and I know numbers this small are anecdotes not data, but Redford, like Lynch, certainly does provide evidence towards the notion that trying to do good in your life might be related to continuing to get hotter right up until the day you pass from this earth

It needs to be said that by rebranding Charlie Kirk's views as moderate by both right wingers and liberal cowards resets the extremist views he held as normal and pushes the Overton window to the far right

It’s interesting to see a writer list “the worst things” a man has done, and it’s truly a list of horrors, and then blithely say that still, we must get along. You can only do that when you aren’t in anyone’s political crosshairs. Must be nice.

The only reason to ever cede ground to the far right is because you've already done your due diligence and planted landmines on it.

For the record.

My posts were not even about Kirk directly, but about America's apathy towards political violence, and the coddling of white male shooters and hate peddlers.

I was fired because I mentioned race: white men and violence-- that was my "gross misconduct."
Nathan Sanders et Bruce Schneier (ce dernier, cryptologue mondialement reconnu et voix de la raison dans le milieu la tech) donnent des exemples d’utilisation positive des LLM pour les affaires publiques… Si ces technos n’étaient pas contrôlées par les pires fascistes ou libertariens démagos.

Bientôt, on verra des fachos à la Fête de l'Huma, au nom du bon déroulement du contradictoire. Abdoulaye K. n'est pas seulement un flic machiste qui défend des policiers assassins et violents : il participe activement aux vagues de cyberharcèlement sur X. Moi-même, j’en suis victime.

The biggest far-right demonstration in British history is a gruesome reminder of how much trouble we are in.

Since the financial crash, the direction of travel for the far right across the West has only been in one direction - and that is up.

There wasn’t 110,000 people there yesterday, btw. Not sure why the police parrot the lines of their irritants.

But for context:

London Pride: 1.5 million
Notting Hill: 2 million
Pro-Palestine march: 500,000

These people are a tiny, entitled minority and should be treated as such, not courted

This may explain why there’s an aggressive response to people who merely post Kirk’s own words. It threatens the existence of the alternate Kirk - the motivational speaker that had been marketed to young kids and white Christian groups through selective quotation & clips.

Ne soyez pas new age. C'est pas tant que vous n'allez pas guérir votre tendinite par les pierres mais ça vous rendra définitivement nouille et amorphe devant les fachos, comme Chris Martin.
Les petits producteurs sur Bandcamp sont soit des gosses de riche, soit des amateurs, soit en sursis.
Pas sûr et en tt cas, la situation n’a cessé ensuite de s’améliorer, jusqu’au 90s incluses dont j’ai pu bénéficier. En revanche, parmi mes proches, il n’y a pas un seul collègue plus jeune, ayant commencé après 2000, qui n’ait pas arrêté. Vraie perte collective pour certains, selon moi.
Bientôt, la seule musique qui parviendra à vos oreilles sera fabriquée par une IAgen, donc un plagiat du passé, à la grande joie des fascistes, pour qui la fin du progrès de la culture est le but ultime.

Comme toujours, la musique est le canari dans la mine de charbon

Le hold-up sur les revenus de la musique enregistrée, opéré par Apple et ses pairs dans les années 2000— sous les applaudissements des freetards et des technobéats — en portait déjà le germe.
