The LP – Side Two

#Vinyl long-playing records celebrate their 75th anniversary this year. The epicentre of the British vinyl collecting community is #Glasgow and the first LP featured Mendelsshon's Violin Concerto in E #records

In 1889 two competing recording formats emerged, the all-wax cylinder, used in Edison’s “Perfected Phonograph” and the Gramophone, the world’s first record player, patented by German-born US inventor, Emile Berliner. Both formats were able to reproduce about two minutes’ worth of professionally made pre-recorded songs, instrumentals, and monologues, and while the Phonograph allowed the owner to…

The idea that uni protesters are "elitist ivy-league rich kids larping as revolutionaries" on Twitter and Reddit and even here is so fucking funny to me if you actually know anything about the student bodies at these unis. Take it from someone who's going to one of the biggest private unis in the US, 80% of the peers I know are either from the suburbs or an apartment somewhere in America, children of immigrants, or here on a student visa. I've heard about one-percenter students, but I've never met one in person. Like, don't get me wrong, the institution as a whole is still very privileged and white. I've talked with friends and classmates about feeling weird or dissonant being here and coming from such a different background. But in my art program, I see BIPOC, disabled, queer, lower-income students and faculty trying to deconstruct and tear that down and make space every day. So to take a cursory glance at a crowd of student protesters in coalitions that are led by BIPOC & 1st/2nd-gen immigrant students and HQ'd in ethnic housings and student organizations and say, "ah. children of the elite." Get real.

POLITES: (pointing) Look! There in the distance, I see an island! I see a light that faintly glows. Maybe they’re people lighting a fire. Maybe they’ll share some food, who knows?

EURYLOCHUS: (stops peering into the distance to stare at POLITES) “Share?” Is that what we’re calling it now? (pretending to be an islander) “Oh gee, we have so much food, what do we do with it all? If only six hundred starving soldiers would turn up to help us eat it!” (drops act) They “share” because we have 600 swords, you delusional fool!

ODYSSEUS: (ignoring them both) Something feels off here. I see fire, but there’s no smoke.

EURYLOCHUS: I say we strike first! We don’t have time to waste, so let’s raid the place and—

ODYSSEUS: (cutting him off) No. Polites, gear up. You and I’ll go ahead. We should try to find a way that no one ends up dead.

EURYLOCHUS: (incredulous) Assuming for some reason these island people just willingly hand over what’s probably a whole month’s supply of food for their entire village…you and Polites are just going to bring it back enough food for six hundred men? By yourselves?

POLITES: (looking admiringly at ODYSSEUS) He’s very strong.

EURYLOCHUS: (to POLITES) Remind me… How did you survive a whole decade as a soldier in a siege?

POLITES: (without shame) I stayed behind Odysseus, mostly.

EURYLOCHUS: Right. And you killed how man Trojans, doing that?

POLITES: (earnestly) Oh, I don’t like killing. I’m a pacifist. Greet the world with open arms!

EURYLOCHUS: …

POLITES: …

EURYLOCHUS: What the f*ck, dude.

Because the stupid acolyte witches have brought it back to the forefront with their nonsense, I need to remind everyone

DARTH PLAGUEIS DID NOT CREATE ANAKIN

People who either never read or haven't read the Darth Plagueis book in a long time always seem to forget that Plagueis' experiments FAILED

He tried-TRIED to create life through the Force, it didn't work, badly, it didn't work so badly that it managed to piss off the Force which in turn retaliated by creating Anakin, Plagueis' attempt at creating life was so unnatural, such a perversion, so offensive that the Force created a life form for the purpose of destroying the sith

As much as it pains me to admit, I need to share something controversial with all of you. I just need to get off my chest since it won’t leave me alone.

I’m so sorry.

One of the things we find in ‘Revenge of the Sith’ is that the dark side is not tempting Anakin to anything... that Anakin is looking at the dark side and saying, ‘That’s what I want.’

I just find it very interesting that all the labour classed as lesser (most often seen as "women's labour") becomes indispensable in moments of crisis. It's just interesting to see how quickly people turn to that labour and then discard it in moments of peace or prosperity, devaluing it until another crisis hits.
