Obviously I despise Republicans, but I hate Black Republicans sO fucking much. Trump is making racist jokes and they’re all just sitting there laughing and applauding him.

Talk about a “yassir massa,” house negro mentality. They would eagerly sell out their parents, their children and all their loved ones for just 0.003 seconds of basking in the white gaze.

Black Republicans are the living embodiment of house slaves who snitched and warned their white masters about field slaves plotting an escape.

By the way: racist “jokes” about the lights going out and only being able to see the white eyes and white teeth of Black people isn’t anything new.

This racist trope was used repeatedly in cartoons of the early 1900s.

Bandcamp """Friday""" recommendations...2! - full albums

it's not BCF yet but that's no excuse to not support some great artists! (and I had this stuck in my drafts for too long, whoops). some of these are also readily available on CD, they're marked with an asterisk. check em out new on the artists' sites, or used at a record store or Discogs.com.

*Making a Door Less Open by Car Seat Headrest (2019, $10) Alternative/indie. The classic sound and lyricism of modern CSH with the electronic taste of 1 Trait Danger mixed in. Melancholy with a bold streak, a no-skip album. Favorite tracks - Martin, There Must Be More Than Blood

*Ants From Up There by Black Country, New Road (2022, $10+) Post-punk. When I first heard this album I couldn't believe it was released last year, it sounds as though it's been a cult classic for a decade. Emphatic and beautiful, with a really nice amount of saxophone. Favorite tracks - Chaos Space Marine, The Place Where He Inserted The Blade

Western Teleport by Emperor X (2011, $8) Pop/folk. The mundanity, hope, and complex chaos of humanity compressed into an audio format. Clean, lo-fi folk for the modern age (of the 2010s). First heard Allahu Akbar on a road trip through California and it's one of my favorite songs of all time. Favorite track - Allahu Akbar

*The Seer by Swans (2014, $16) Post-rock. Like bitter dark chocolate paired with a fine wine. A two hour saga of intense brutal sound that transforms from tense, obsessive repetition into quiet introspection and back again. Best listened to through headphones, with your eyes closed and your back on the floor. Favorite tracks - Lunacy, The Seer Returns

*A River Ain't Too Much to Love by Smog (2005, $9) Alternative rock. Quiet, acoustic rock with meandering lyrics and a calming tone. Apparently a lower-key approach from Smog in comparision to their other works, but still holds the same artistic integrity. Favorite tracks - I Feel Like The Mother Of The World

Nachthorn by Maxime Denuc (2022, €7) Ambient/organ. Hypnotic MIDI-controlled organ solos invoke the still-buzzing calm after returning from a party; relaxed with an undercurrent of techno. Favorite tracks - Edo, Ouverture

Also check out: LET THE EVIL OF HIS OWN LIPS COVER HIM by Lingua Ignota (experimental, $2), LAST WALTZ by World's End Girlfriend (alternative, free/PWYW), the 🌍 is ending and i ❤️ u by Jack Goldstein (indie/pop, PWYW)

  Aderir ou não ao BIM (Building Information Modeling) não é uma escolha dispon��vel atualmente. Quem trabalha dentro do ecossistema BIM ganha tanto em eficiência que ficará impossível concorrer de fora dele daqui a pouco tempo.

Through the Blue Marlin Prize that rewards corporations and individuals that further the goals of the foundation, and a gala that can be a large event in terms of mediatic footprint

Where the different donors are going to find themselves associated not only to the foundation but also to the event, ie image benefits both online and on the press, possibly also on TV

It’s 3 prizes in total

Corporations

Personalities

GOV & NGO’s

So again pursuing things where they lead you, and not losing sight of the larger picture which can develop as you progress

Thank you for having followed

Bandcamp Friday album recommendations - modern electronic edition

every first Friday of every month, Bandcamp waives their revenue share to help support artists. although BC takes a fairly small cut either way, it's still a good excuse to support your favorite artists (or discover new ones). here are some albums I've been enjoying!

The Enigma of Heaven and Other Daily Delusions by Hakita (2023, NYP (Name Your Price/pay what you want)) - Breakcore with themes of Christianity and paranoia. Layers of organ and harpsichord mesh with fast-paced drum beats. Favorite track - The Senselessness of Endlessness: Returning to an Empty Apartment with a Grocery Store Guardian Angel

3D Virtual Buddies by Dream Puzzles (2021, NYP) - Electronic/pop with a 2000s internet theme. Friendly, nostalgic tracks with melancholic undertones. Favorite track - My CRT and I'm Real, I'm Alive

Agnes & Hilda by Patricia Taxxon (2022, NYP) - Bright, sharp, and unapologetic furry hyperpop. A good introduction to Patricia's work, with its catchy compositions and fresh lyrics. Feels like pop rocks. Favorite track - Overijssel

░​█​░​█​░​░​█​░​█​░​█​░ by KEYGEN CHURCH (2021, €3) - MIDI black metal. Its heavier segments balance nicely with its orchestral side, mixing the heretical and religious. Favorite track - A S G R E T A L O S

UGLY DEATH NO REDEMPTION ANGEL CURSE I LOVE YOU by Ada Rook (2022, $8) - Industrial album that scratches the same itch as Machine Girl with its throat-destroying vocals and raw, cathartic sound. Favorite track - 999999999 IN A DREAM

She Was Sharp as the Name of Needles by Hakita (2023, NYP) - 40 minute ambient drone track performed by Hatsune Miku. Hakita's longform tracks continue to be uniquely engaging.

Also see: psychosis:angelic [DEMO] by psychoangel (drum&bass), The First Sound of The Future Past by Astrophysics (synthwave, Vocaloid), RePorpoised Phantasies by Machine Girl (drum&bass), and Gloria by Patricia Taxxon (hyperpop).

BCF’s author has a lot of questionable word of god statements. A personal favorite of mine to whip out every so often is this one.

What. the fuck?

this one is a lot.

Okay, before I even break this down let’s engage with the contrast of Saint and The Dragonslayers compared to Cauldron. I don’t think they’re Cauldron in miniature, I think they’re an inversion of them. Cauldron knows that Scion is an entity but not much about his behavior, while the Dragonslayers know Dragon is an AI she is communicative. Dragon, as she is in Worm, isn’t malicious nor a major risk of becoming so, Scion snapping is an inevitable event. The Dragonslayers are run by a man with a tattoo addicted to artificial powers while Cauldron by a woman without any to her name who gives others artificial powers and tattoos. And of course the Dragon Slayers are ineffectual and ego-paranoia driven, while Cauldron keeps the world running and is coldly utilitarian facing down the apocalypse. The compare contrast between the groups is actually fairly interesting.

Now the actual comment. Jesus Christ. The most problematic line in all of this is obviously “at no point does either group step back and ask if they are really the best people to deal with the problem in front of them.”

How this is a valid critique of Cauldron, a group made of some of the most powerful capes on the planet including Contessa I’m not sure. I don’t think Congressman Terry is a valid perspective especially since they prop up the government. I don’t think random scientist seven is a great pick since once, Doctor Mother, two, Manton. I don’t see how even if they opened their doors they could find someone more competent than they already have found in the likes of their own. I just….what? Who? Josef isn’t a real worm character and no I would not put him on the list personally anyways even though cauldron would because they don’t care about their egos they care about the end of the fucking world. They don’t like their jobs.

I don’t see the first paragraph of criticisms towards the dragon slayers even applying. Cauldron naturally can’t act earlier. Telling people about the nature of Scion is a massive infosec risk as well as just dangerous to the public and capes at large and frankly it wouldn’t be productive either. Cauldron isn’t a friend group like the Dragon Slayers are it is experts and then their many vassals. The dragon slayers are with outside help barely able to manage dragon tech. Cauldron is the leading shard understanders in the setting. They are the most qualified people in the setting and are a major reason scion died. Cauldron won, folks. They wanted to kill Scion any means necessary and they successfully created the scenario. Saying it was a pure chance thing isn’t a valid detraction considering 1 they were aware of that and doing their best to inflate that chance 2 no one would have done better. Their plan was not to personally kill Scion but arrange the highest possible chance that the dies. Dragon survives, Scion doesn’t, says something about the two groups.

The “wider perspective” on Cauldron and Scion edges into meta territory and again I don’t think your oc/si is superior for having magic knowledge inserted into his brain for free that no one else can get. I think that’s a pretty simple stance but hey I’ve seen it a thousand times. Also on a moral standpoint if we’re going to judge Cauldron harshly that’s a different discussion and also again Jozef is far from moral anyways which is not intentional. But you know whatever cauldron bad case fifty three sad are there any more children Joe can make too nebulously mature to date their own age and then dump his trauma onto
