Forbidding people from wearing masks is not only unconscionable but also a violation of Jewish tradition.

On the anniversary of his birth, remembering the uncompromising creative genius of Ken Russell (1927-2011). An incredible director and visionary writer, his spheres of interest were vast and his eye for dazzling performers, unmatched.

Because by the late 70s reggae was the dominant Jamaican music, not 60s ska, Iād always wondered how the UK bands drew the conclusion they needed to look back to the older style. So there you go. Anyway you can hear me talk about 2 Tone Records and second wave ska on Junk Filter podcast.

Early in the UK punk scene punk shows used to spin reggae between bands. So punk bands started playing covers but it didnāt gel till Specials founder Jerry Dahmers brought a Prince Buster record to practice & said āthis is uptempo so itās gonna work betterā. Hence 2nd wave ska apple.co/44Sq8TI

The entire genre of dancehall (more or less) came about when a reggae producer repurposed a "rock" beat he accidentally discovered on a casio kid's toy keyboard. People recently discovered the long-anonymous Japanese woman who programmed the beat was in fact a huge reggae fan and scholar.

There was an even bigger difference in the comments received. All on Threads and all but one here were positive, constructive, or neutral (one person was just being a jerk, not a troll). Only 18% on X were positive or neutral. The rest were negative, many highly so.

One reason to have not stopped wearing a mask, is that every country you think you could escape to, will reject you for being disabled. All of them. Yes, that one too. Each time you get covid, you're making it more likely your supposed safe haven goes "nope. GTFO"

The number of Google searches for Project 2025 skyrocketed after Taraji P. Henson mentioned it during her BET Awards appearance and encouraged the audience watching to Google it. That single black woman did more for liberal causes than all the current DNC leaders and the candidates themselves.

My left af nonbinary queer partner came from a poor family and wanted to go to college so they enlisted. Wanting to go to college and being forced into the military is not a political party. It's our government being fucking predators and using the cycle of poverty to keep its death machine.

I want to remind people ā- notice that Virginia is a swing state now?! And part of that is Dems being forced out of DC & into the burbs by high rent, part of that is immigrant voters and part of that is the military vote which includes ex-gop never trumpers & many normie Dems.
