hay humans, boosts appreciated. I'm trying to find out who in the US plays the blind sport Showdown. I know that several states have tables, and that there are players who have done it recently. Trying to figure out whose connected to that scene, where they get their tables and if we can establish some international cooperation. Shout me if anyone knows anything.

LOVED this interview with Frankie Knuckles. The Godfather of House.

He talks about so much - growing up with Luther Vandross, getting into teenage scrapes with Larry Levan - before going on to learn to DJ with him at the Paradise Garage. And the Warehouse of course, getting into production, his later life and feeling like his music didn't have any place.

Honestly, just such a lovely man.

RIP Frankie ❤️

This is Theodosii Spassov, probably one of my top 3 Bulgarian kaval players, with slow melody. It's a great demo of what the Bulgarian kaval can do; big range, kaba, vocal drone/harmonisation, sound effects, various levels of breathiness, ornaments like hlopki, mordents, vibrato. Particularly notable in this one is circular breathing, both for the 2nd kaval drone, which is quite common, but also in the main melody. Virtuosic stuff!

It was bad enough with native ads, then gamergate made everything political and retarded. After all that settled, the industry decided to side with the screeching lefties instead of the actual audience of gamers. So it's been a death spiral ever since. Sad times when you gotta shill a mattress. Dick pills or pharma ads are probably on the horizon.

Fuck it. Let's go back to usenet. I can probably remember how to use nn.

America, impotently, as the coup proceeds:

"Trump is lying! Trump is stupid! He's so corrupt, and he needs to be impeached! I can't believe the media is letting him get away with this!"

That's it? That's all we've got, as our future is stolen from us and replaced with a fascist, dictatorial nightmare, complete with concentration camps, and genocide in the works?

Where are the riots? Where are the marches? How can this guy and his supporters and enablers even show their faces in public without being afraid for their very lives?

@flamingored there *have* been millions of protestors. There's no media coverage of it, but there was a day of the 50501 protests where there were millions of people out there at once. There have been all sorts of protests popping up all over the place, you're just not hearing about them
And I agree there needs to be more
But it's not like everyone is silent

@raphaelmorgan @flamingored Protesting for like one day does nothing. They can work but they need to be like a week long at least. People aren't taking this seriously IMHO, and until we wake up to what's actually happening America is lost. I'm sick of people online, Reddit is a great example, saying shit like "oh, but what can we do?" when someone asks why more isn't being done. We clearly can not handel the situation we're in at the moment, and I hope to God something will change sooner rather than later, because honestly we don't have much time left.

@ZBennoui @raphaelmorgan @flamingored I think we will have to start over from scratch to make it work, personally. But we should do our best to skip the death camps currently looming between us and the end goal of rebuilding what we have lost.

We are going to have to do some hard thinking and hard work, however we get through this. I think we will at the minimum need some new constitutional ammendments to thoroughly limit executive power. No one person should have that much power. The collective's decisions should be made collectively. Pardons need to go. Appointments need to go. Executive orders need to go. Military and police should not report to the same person. Prosecutors should not report to presidents. Chop it all up and put it in the hands of multiple people that have to vote. If we have to have an executive, we should have more than one, each with a sliver of responsibility and power, and each independently elected. Our system is broken.

@ZBennoui @raphaelmorgan @flamingored And different voting methods should be put into place, too. Ranked choice or something that doesn't incentivize the formation of a binary political system with red and blue vying against each other like fucking sports teams, casting each other as villains to fight over the tiny scrap of swing voters that have all the control. A bottom-up system, not a top-down one, so the people really do rule themselves. Proportional representation to eliminate the tyranny of the majority. There are all kinds of things we can and probably should do to make our government truly representative and accountable and reliable.

I agree with all of the above. People in large numbers are needed to solve the issue, strike and shut down the economy. Being in the streets might be dangerous with such a violent administration, but refusing to work, reduce purchases to the bare minimum, only purchasing from small local businesses, etc. might be needed.
I can't see there's a painless way to stop a wannabe dictator, but the sooner the easier and less time to do damage
