Good morning. Remember your new daily routine:

1. Close your eyes
2. Breath deep
3. See the mark you want to leave on this fucked world full of bastards
4. Self. Fucking. Actualize.

I'll see you out there.

Is Björk a pop star? No. But in 1995? She came close!

I join @augetoffmygold.bsky.social for the latest episode of Billboard's Greatest Pop Stars podcast to ask the question:

Somewhere between "Army of Me" and "It's Oh So Quiet," did Björk qualify as a pop girlie? Only one way to find out!

Shhhh

we say there's no social contagion, but how many of us were transed by the box art for fear effect if we're being honest?

playstation one box art for fear effect. a woman with purple pants strafes sideways while shooting two guns. there are two men behind her but you don't care about that.

Like someone gotta sit 'em at the table, flood these people eyes with light, just surrounded by bad cops, and make 'em feel bad at the very least?

No "Hidden Place"? No "Pagan Poetry"? A pox! A pox on their houses!

Rolling Stone named their 250 best songs of the 21st century so far and not *one* Bjork track? Nothing off a Vespertine? Y'all are sick.

"But that uniform should always feel a little too tight. And as someone who cannot hide behind a uniform, I hope you always feel it."

Kira Nerys Wears a Uniform: It's Too Tight

Deep Space Nine introduces Kira Nerys: Star Trek's freedom fighting first officer. But when we meet her she wears a uniform. It's too tight.

"Most of us wear uniforms. Over time, we find the clothes, the aesthetic, and the attitudes that make it so we can survive in whatever boxes civilization puts us into. Most of us find a way to make the uniform we’re assigned fit.

Because we know what happens to those of us who don’t or can’t."

"Going stealth cannot always be the answer. Just keeping the peace cannot always be the answer. Allies will unexpectedly flee for safer pastures. We cannot assume their return. And there are no gods or miracles to save the day. Just us."

"But the need for freedom fighting will still come, regardless of how old we are or whether or not we are prepared. Cardassians don’t exist, but occupations do. Sometimes the evil we swore would never return finds its way back to power."

"Kira Nerys is like a lot of us. We don’t need literal Cardassian occupations to be revolutionaries in our youths. Nor do we need marching orders from superiors to make us favor pragmatism as we age. Not every war is worth fighting. 'Blow it up' cannot be the solution to every problem."

please do not fall for this, there is no shock collar nor is there a fob. tectone (the guy who's father is in the congressional record for being the army's rape monster), kiwifarms, ethan klein, etc are trying to spread this because they are trying to find another venue to get hasan kicked off.

I cannot understand what these people think the purpose of human life is?

It is *not* "pursue joy, deal justly, love well, try to understand as much and see as much of this beautiful world and of the deepness, richness and variety of human culture and experience as you can before you die"?

Tim Worthington @outonbluesix.bsky.social · 2d

How is this repeatedly made into a policy issue - by *all* parties - when the blunt fact of the matter is that grown adults who are obliged to pay for their own education, and relentlessly pursued to repay their loans, should be able to study whatever the fuck they want.

I hate that I used those two apostrophes. It is early and I am not awake enough to pontificate upon the importance of the liberal arts. But totalitarian propogandists don't have to sleep now that they have A.I. churning out thoughtless lies every second.

Result? Mispunctuations will happen. Sorry!
