See something, take a picture, share it with the world, have a cup of coffee!
Caroline Orr BuenoNow seems like a good time to talk about how far-right extremists are using the Overton Window theory to force their ideas into the mainstream. The premise here is that today’s fringe ideas/beliefs can become tomorrow’s normal by shifting the boundaries of acceptable discourse. You do that by introducing people to more & more extreme ideas, so everything else seems reasonable in comparison.
eg, when “praising Hitler” becomes the comparison point, low-key bigotry suddenly doesn’t seem so bad. 1/

Wilko Johnson Demonstrates His Guitar Technique 9.7.12
Blank FrankHis unique style of playing rhythm & lead guitar at 'the same time' still does my head in (in the best possible way). If you listen to his work, as he said himself largely inspired by Mick Green of Johnny Kidd & the Pirates, there is always tension. Fast song, slow song, always tension.
He was an example to me in my younger years how to musically carry myself (I had him knocking around my noggin in a big way when I recorded NMN's Now) & will no doubt continue to remain so. 2/3 #wilkojohnson
