MLK was only 39 when he was killed. Growing up, I thought that was old. But I’m 43 now and I’m stunned by the burden he shouldered at such a young age. I’m also a lot more aware of how hard it is, at any age, to carry the hopes and dreams of an oppressed people on your shoulders, as so many do.

I realise I'm just a freak, but living in a multicultural city is the best thing of all time, it's just the best possible human experience and i can not understand why anyone on earth would be like "weve got to destroy this"

Somebody was trying to tell me that CDs are better than vinyl because they don't have any surface noise. I said, "listen mate, life has surface noise."

If your rights are being shredded, your citizenship endangered, if you're attending protests and being gassed or threatened, people calling your life/experience a distraction fucking sucks, actually.
Be kind. These are lives. Talk about issues like somebody else's existence might be on the line.

I have noticed a disturbing number of calls for violence against ICE agents. One word:
DON'T!
Around the world, dictators WANT violence because it provides cover for them to launch massive militarized retaliation. Dictators even stage false-flag operations to provide themselves with an excuse.

The perfect album for a dark evening? Before the Day Breaks.
I like all of Harold Budd and Robin Guthrie’s collaborations. But this one, and its twin, particularly.

Just listened to Blackstar again. It’s still an astounding album. Confident, tight, and self-aware.
His death made it poignant, but it felt exceptionally mature on the day of release.

The end goal of Grok sexual harassment is to make women afraid to be visible. It’s a punishment for daring to exist in a way the perpetrators can’t control. There’s no one solution to this, because the problem isn’t just technological. It’s cultural. It’s misogyny. This is just one expression of it.

Personally I found the Stranger Things finale a little underwhelming.
Five seasons of good TV lasting 45+ hours really could have been three seasons of great TV lasting 18-20 hours.
Enjoyed it in the same way I enjoy store-bought cheesecake.
