Part 2 of those long-ago days of innocence when people just mocked the Incel Camino instead of trying to burn them all down (before nature did it anyway).
Ah those long-ago days of innocence when people just mocked the Incel Camino instead of trying to burn them all down (before nature did it anyway).
(It won't let me put 2 videos into one post so the second is in the reply)

Le match #WALvENG sous forte tensions avec quelques prises de maillots.
Un début de rencontre dominée par les Anglais, le Pays de Galles encaisse et voit sa défense s'effondrer.
Mi-temps on se connecte pour la roue des surprises en #Musique !
Wakes up on a rainy Saturday and sees that Conan O'Brien had Geddy Lee on one of his #podcasts.
hey! I've just moved here today and i thought I'd start by introducing myself. I'm an ecologist, specialized in avian and herpetofaunal ecology. i am also very interested in the data science aspect of the discipline, and i am working on getting more familiar with the ins and outs of R programming, and hopefully moving to more conventional programming, so i can feed into my other interests.
i am also muchly into open source software, specifically Emacs and Void Linux, and in my free time, work on contributing to Void Linux packages and my Emacs config. i tend to talk about all of these things a lot.
I'm big on cats. well, basically everything about them. expect a LOT of photos.
i also play the guitar a little and I'm predominantly into loud and dark music. I do talk about the music i listen to as well, both here and on my blog articles.
i also occasionally like to indulge in woodworking, and i hope to get more active with it
i have been blogging since 2016, on and off, and recently revived my blog after a hiatus of nearly 2 years.

Mahmoud Ahmed is a national icon of Ethiopia, a musician who rose to prominence during the time of Haile Selassie, and whose songs are known by every generation, though he hasn’t released a new track in decades. Now, he’s retiring, and @thecontinent spoke to him days before his final concert in Addis Ababa. Here’s the interview — writer Maya Misikir suggests listening to it accompanied by Ahmed’s most famous track, “Tizita,” (sometimes known as “Tezeta”) which is a song about nostalgia.

Let's start Friday with the cool story behind a song: Money for Nothing, by Dire Straits. (This is NOT political commentary).

Mein musikalisches Projekt für das Jahr: https://residuum.bandcamp.com/album/durch-das-jahr-mit-heimatsound
Last night I saw #PureAdult play live and they were very good. They are still on tour. I would recommend catching them if you have the chance.
“Cities“ is also available on these fine, non-corporate sites:
• bandwagon.fm: https://bandwagon.fm/67cf11661908a27ff7b4b0d4
• mirlo.space: https://mirlo.space/sknob/release/cities
• My venerable hand-crafted site: https://sknob.fr/music/?cities
(Still debating whether I should keep posting on bandcamp. In the meantime, if you want to pay for Cities, you can do so on #Mirlo :)
Cities have sirens
Cities have horns
Cities raise a stink
Cities make a lot of noise
Make a lot of noise for my #NewSong: Cities!
