Perfect for a Sunday morning, here is Dead Territory with their Death Metal cover of JohnCage's 4'33".

Warning: THIS IS AN ABSOLUTE BANGER and it might get stuck in your head all day.

Thank you, @pluralistic. I had no no idea how much I needed this in my life!

I think I see the problem.

Yes I'm a woman who believes in crystals and that their vibrations affect our lives!

The System Crystal in the original Nintendo runs at 21.47727 MHz and is integral to the operation of the Picture Processing Unit!

There’s one sentence you can always use to shut down your internal monologue when it has you firmly in the grasps of imposter syndrome:

“Rudy Giuliani gave multiple talks on cybersecurity.”

If you poison the information pipeline to voters, you can kill democracy — it relies on informed consent of the governed, built on a shared sense of reality. That shared sense is splintering in ways that are tearing apart our societies, often based on widely held delusions. Musk made it way worse.

Bill Clinton banned assault weapons in 1994; mass shootings dropped by 43%.

George W. Bush and the GOP let the assault weapons ban expire in 2004; mass shootings increased by 245%.

These numbers tell the whole story.

A reminder as we wake up to the news of another mass shooting: One party’s members walk around Congress with AR-15 pins on their lapels. They aren’t there to help solve the gun violence crisis. They are there to help enable it.

I hope Virginians turn out in huge numbers for the state legislative elections on November 7. If the GOP in VA flips the state Senate, that would give Glenn Youngkin a GOP trifecta and he would undoubtedly start implementing a right-wing agenda. The off-year VA elections are considered a bellweather for 2024. It would be great if they could pull off a blue wave like they did in 2019 which would further signal momentum going into 2024.

Here’s where to help:

Seriously though this is rad. 8yo said the shadows look like “dragon scales” and he’s not wrong. #eclipse
I see things are going just swimmingly in Twitter infrastructure this morning!
