I don't understand why this song wasn't huge. It's not too late, especially when the lyrics are so apropos now.

One of those rare mornings where I get to listen to Pantera's Far Beyond Driven at a high volume throughout the house.

"Here's a basic check: Does a community's belief system actively undermine the trustworthiness of any outsiders who don't subscribe to it's central dogmas? If so, it's probably an echo chamber."
Another excellent halftime banger that's on my next set list and this one's a remix from the legend D-Struct.
Got a vaccine on a Friday. I don't know what I was thinking. Now I'm suffering on a beautiful Saturday. Should have waited until Monday.
Voted. Advance poles are open until 9pm. Grab your card or even just a license and drop by your local advance station. Took me 5-10 minutes.
Happy Easter! 
I don't know if you've noticed but the small indie book shop is enjoying a renaissance and I'm here for it.
This is beautifully written and an eye-opening read on an immigrant's perspective in the context of the Israel/Gaza situation. Highly recommended.

François Legault gets best dressed at the debate. That's a great tie for Easter.
When the point becomes market growth, or growth as a general concept, this is distinct from progress. Growth might be an indicator of progress, or it could be a cancerous abberition -- the forward progress of destruction. This is what makes his manifesto insufficient at best. 2/2
Marc Andreesen's manifesto is an example of what happens when the classic spirit of techno-optimism (think Arthur C. Clarke) becomes unmoored from its largely humanist, rationalist values. Technology must exist to better the human condition, or it has no point at all. 1/2
I consider myself to be a techno-optimist but I am cringing and gas-facing through a lot of Marc Andreesen's Techno-Optimist Manifesto. He doesn't speak for all of us as he seems to conflate techno-optimism with hyper-capitalism. That's not a given.
This halftime drum 'n' bass business is the subgenre that shows the most energy and forward thinking. In my opinion it's the leading innovation in the genre and this is one of my favourite bangers.

Lost Relicts, by Roho
from the album Alter Ego EP
"In its thwarted optimism, the news is the disillusioned progeny of the enlightenment. Refusing to square with human nature, it allows our hopes to smash constly against the same shoals. It greets every new day with faux cherubic innocence only to stoke up rage and disillusionment at our condition by nightfall." - Alain de Botton, The News
The. Most. Fundamental. Freedom is beginning to erode in Gilead.
