The reason I like witchcraft even though I'm a sceptic at heart is cus the model you have for how magic works don't really impact the practice much. The power of suggestion is a thing, the beneficial effects of meditation is a thing, the minds ability to find pattern in noise is a thing and the usefulness of ritual is definitely a thing, none of those really requires the existence of anything demonstrably supernatural.
Every 3D print in NY can be surveilled — from political speech to company prototypes — if these provisions make it into the state budget. We need to act NOW to stop it. https://www.eff.org/deeplinks/2026/04/stop-new-yorks-attack-3d-printing #NewYork #3Dprinting
Stop New York's Attack on 3D Printing

New York's proposed 2026-2027 budget currently includes provisions that will require all 3D printers sold in the state to run print-blocking censorware—software that surveils every print for forbidden designs. This policy would also create felony charges for possessing or sharing certain design files. The vote on the state budget could happen as early as next week, so New Yorkers need to act fast and demand that their Assemblymembers and Senators strip this provision from the budget.

A Newly Discovered Recording Lets You Hear Delta Blues Legend Robert Johnson in Stunning Clarity

Great swathes of rock music since the nineteen-sixties would never have existed, we're sometimes told, were it not for the recordings of Robert Johnson. Certainly the likes of Keith Richards, Eric Clapton, Robert Plant, and Bob Dylan have never hesitated to acknowledge his influence.

"Anna’s Archive to pay $322million after losing court case for scraping “nearly all of the world’s commercial sound recordings” from Spotify"

Where they went wrong, is they did copyright infringement for public good

"Now, Anna’s Archive has been handed a default judgement to pay the hefty $322million fine, as they have failed to “answer or otherwise defend against the claims in the Complaint.”"

If you were wondering how it will be paid, it won't be bc this is all theater for these companies

@paninid I am not sure what it says about me that I tried TikTok twice, and both times, got bored within ten minutes, and deleted it.
Congratulations to the people of Hungary for ridding themselves of an autocrat through a peaceful, democratic election. You are bringing hope to hundreds of millions everywhere!

🟢International🔴Roma🔵Day

Today we honour Roma culture and its contributions to European history.

Some 10–12 million Roma in Europe, with many facing antigypsyism, isolation, poverty, and limited access to essentials like housing and education.

The EU Roma Strategic Framework 2020–2030 sets clear goals for inclusion and remains our compass.

Roma communities deserve equality and full rights as Europeans.
