I own a soprano and a tenor and they are both great. I played them the other night (on a work call, the other person is like: "it looks like you're in a soundproof room?" "yes yes I scheduled a call during my practice time")

Correct. And also the current US imagination of "religious freedom" is absurd. Religious freedom is and should be limited to the freedom to choose your religion and practice it without interference. Liberals fail to address this misunderstanding repeatedly.

The thing that's obvious to everyone and that nobody can actually write in the press is that the American (and yes, I'm sure elsewhere too) right wing is led by bad people and the object is to make more people extremely bad in basically every respect. It's anti-society

They would definitely end up with hostile news coverage just one state north in New Hampshire. NH incidentally has had an increase in abortion providers since Roe v. Wade AND an increase in these fake centers.

Google βMassachusetts crisis pregnancyβ and this link pops up. Itβs part of a statewide campaign, including public signage (highway billboards!), urging people to avoid crisis pregnancy/anti-abortion centers. The Commonwealth is not fucking around with this.

I'm specifically thinking about the "big tech" pushback and its framing and how it often entirely ignores the perspectives of those living under censorial governments for whom the internet has been a lifeline.

As I've written and often said, my experience of and opinions about free expression are largely informed not by my childhood in the US but by living in other countries. I think the US perspective is often deeply deeply flawed.

I'm taking part in a lecture series to a group of artists from mainly southern Mediterranean countries and it's so fascinating to hear their different perspectives on censorship and free expression, largely framed by their experience of the governments they grew up under.
