"It used to be you'd go outside and nobody would know where the fuck you were. That's called freedom". - Tom Green. Taken from a rant [1] on this subject from a few years back [1] https://youtu.be/01Vq8_

The genie might be out of the bottle here for them. A lot of investigative journalism now coming out (1) which shows that Pegasus is really just the tip of the iceberg when it comes to Israeli spyware. (1) https://www.mintpressn

Keep dreaming. Who's going to advocate for that on your behalf? A politician? An private or public institution complicit n this behaviour?

Some great principles, but where do they stand on decentralisation of power? It's hard to see the fuzzy feelings of this movement not being co-opted by state/corporate power to solidify their control of resources.

You likely vaped something with poor genetics and/or was grown with too many synthetic nutrients. Also, the majority of strains are hybrids - so it's unlikely you have a bad reaction to indica (unless you only ever vape landrace s

I really wish these issues were more widely discussed here. There was a lot of take-up with the Snowden stuff a few years back. Equifax and the various breahes too. But all that seems rather 2D in comparison to issues like this.

And good old Uncle Sam sells 10 billion a year in weapons to these pricks - along with billions in aid for Israel to "mow the grass" (IDF phrase) in Gaza. Disgraceful. https://www.brookings.edu/blog/order-fr

If only. The debt becomes worn as inflation and higher taxes.

I thought the data in sport stuff was interesting, but the rest of your arguments were fairly superficial and got lost in the weeds. I guess my main gripe was that a lot of your thesis can be explained by trend. Women looking like Kardashi

Both great tracks! You ever see the criminally underrated film 'Vampire's Kiss' with Nicholas Cage? Features ESG playing that song live in a club.

I feel no-wave also might have been influential. ESG could easily be read as proto-techno in this context. 'Erase You' and 'Dance' have that same kind of reductionist, tribal sensibility.

Agree. It's always such a 'just so' with these kinds of articles about Detroit techno. That being said, I think Kraftwerk is actually a little underrated in their influence. I know that probably seems hard to believe given

Money cannons. How many trillions has the Fed bought in securities over the last year? Money has to go somewhere - and will eventually start blowing bubbles in weird asset classes.

I purposely didn't go. Still don't regret it. I was a fan since before Homework was released - and before they had the robot get up. When my friend told me about the Coachella show in 2006, I was admittedly pretty excited. But

I think you are politicizing things with those kinds of comments. I'm not even a conservative and I dislike the New York Times. It's unfortunate that the days of 'hard news' seems to be over across all sides of the medi

Switzerland also has the highest level of household debt (which includes mortgages) in the world. Lending volume and price usually have a fairly linear correlation.

It's funny. I re-read it after posting that quote. A lot of his ideas very similar to Baudrillard. Especially stuff to do with the Other and difference. That being said, he still manages to have a pretty original perspective (to me
