3/7/23.

Ron Rude (Belgrave/Melbourne) was part of a vibrant Australian post-punk scene in the late 70s/early 80s. Actually, there is an excellent compilation that captures this - it was released by Chapter Music in 2001 - and it contains "Piano, Piano" from Ron Rude (it also contains songs by The Apartments and The Pits just to name a few).

Ron Rude sounds like a product of their time that also somehow retains a current feel. You can't help but see parallels to The Stooges, Lou Reed and David Bowie. You can also hear Orange Juice and Lloyd Cole in the vocals. And finally, I can't help but hear a little Mac DeMarco.

This is being released Sorcerer Records, a reissue label based in Melbourne.

So it appears that Disney/Marvel are trying to make 4/4 a Fantastic Four Day and that works for me! To celebrate, how about the FF by some Broze Age greats?

I think what a lot of people don't understand is that the cultural and societal aspects of religion can still exist in a society that is 100% secular. Most atheists aren't anti-theists, in fact, most of them still take part in many religious customs and celebrations in a secular form. Anti-theism doesn't even mean the eradication of religion, it's typically used to describe the intellectual opposition to belief in a deity,

So, I'm honestly perplexed whenever I see people arguing that the "end goal" of atheism is to eradicate religion, this is something both religious people and ill-informed atheists believe, for some reason. I guess this is what happens when Christopher Hitchens and Sam Harris are your go-to atheists and you're measuring atheism against the most extreme religious zealots because that's what most people are reactive towards.

What should be completely removed are almost all forms of institutionalized religion and religious power structures. These are the exactual oppressive structures that have used religion as a tool to justify every form of bigotry and crime against humanity. They are also not essential to the practice of the religion or the survival of the religious culture. Your right to practice your religion ends if you're using said religion to advocate for the oppression of Muslims (assuming you're not practicing Islam), atheists, LGBT+ people, and other minorities. You can be a church-going Catholic without advocating for state-sanctioned religion or the rights of others being removed. This evangelical breed of religious extremism has no place in society and is what actually leads to real genocides happening today.

A Little Holiday Bonus

I'm going to be honest, I don't remember who I was following that had gone to the gym, but it must not have been interesting because as you can see, I wound up perusing around the place to see what everyone else was up to. LOL! Looks like Pablo Martinez is now training other sims. And Lawerence Lum has started dating Jill Garrett!

Oh yeah, it's bonus time Baby! And from the looks of it, most of the household did quite well for themselves this year!

Wanda enjoyed some time at the library. By the look of that stank coming from her shirt, I'm guessing she's the sim who had gone to the gym, LOL!

Trish met up with her boyfriend, Ron, down at the sports bar. It didn't take long for her to abandon him though.

Hey, a girl's gotta eat!

Wanda spent the entire rest of the day practicing logic at the library, still stinky. I guess it's a good thing it was pretty empty today! I spent the majority of the day building tax offices inside the stadium shell because Spring is just around the corner and that means Tax Collection time! Kasey is in the political career and pretty high ranking, so she has been elected to collect taxes in St. Bernie!

Speaking of Kasey, Geesh! Can't just let the babies sleep can ya? She even woke poor Angela and Korey up!
