like, when you think about it, there's always a middleman between you and stolen music. that pathway that seems so direct still had to be created. there's someone hosting the file you download.

in other words, that's a distributor. it's a *free* distributor that isn't concerned with anyone getting paid.

music piracy is like the closest thing to a utopia that we can experience.

that's completely free access to art and a limitless range of people who have access to your own art

it's only when you worry about everything else ("how can i support myself if i'm not getting paid for art i'm spending time on") when there's an actual problem. i mean, it's a considerable one, but it's one born from our currency-based society. at its core, it's a direct link between art and an audience

Gosh! Such swift action by the police. To ensure protest against his killing is stifled, not to ensure those responsible are dealt with, or the underlying systemic issues.

"Police in Wales have fined a woman £500 for organising protests over the death of a young black man hours after he was released from police custody.

The family of Mohamud Hassan allege that he was beaten by South Wales police and had a number of serious injuries at the time of his death. The police have referred the case to the Independent Office for Police Conduct.

Protests took place outside Cardiff Bay police station for three days after Hassan’s death."

hmm

mounting evidence to the contrary

When thinking about the "dumbest day in american history" you shouldn't only be concerned about the trump crowd. You should also be alarmed about, how the democratic party is planning on using the riot to pass legislation, that will most likely be targeted against people justifiably demanding actual change, such as BLM protesters and climate activists.

I keep coming back to that line of Biden’s first speech about the teapot insurrection, “This is not America.” And no. Just no.

It isn’t the whole of America. We’ve seen that, over this past summer. But violent white supremacy is absolutely a part of America. And the first step to dealing with a problem is *acknowledging that you have a problem.*

I can’t headdesk enough to describe my feelings about this administration, and its term hasn’t even started yet.
