@pluralistic I have recently been invited to my local area's "let's brainstorm better ways to keep the public informed and build a better sense of community while we're at it" sessions because I "seem like an intelligent and informed guy on such matters" (I'm not), so I am wondering if there was anything on your radar that would be worth bringing up at such a prestigious gathering. Emphasis on low-effort and useful for the municipality in general.

@pluralistic Assuming this is black sheep ensemble I just grabbed a digital copy of their album on bandcamp (https://nicke.bandcamp.com/album/chaos-agent) -- if anyone enjoyed this as much as I did and they have the means, maybe throw some duckets their way?

*When sarcasm raised it's brilliant head
They bravely turned their tails and fled,
Yellow proudboys turned about
And gallantly they chickened out.
Bravely taking to their feet
They beat a very brave retreat
Bravest of the brave; the proudboys!

!I never!

It is amazing though. Try searching both NYT and WAPO for NoKings.

NYT: Wordles

WAPO: Protests

I unsubbed WAPO over the endorsement debacle and gave NYT another chance. Ugh.

#Apple's #News+ is just a pile of 💩

It has a reasonable selection of articles and newspapers, but:

* Shows horrible, clunky ads in the middle of stories 🤬
* Insists on continuing to show articles from rags I've explicitly blocked, like the Torygraph 🤬
* Destroys the relationship between news media and their readers, no doubt to their great disadvantage in the long run 🤬🤬

Free trial cancelled! Thank FSM for the Financial Times subscription!

@pluralistic If you like this clip, you may want to check out HONK!, a festival of activst marching bands, which stated in Somerville, MA, and has since spread to Providence, NYC, Seattle, Austin, Eugene, Wollongong, Rio, São Paulo, and Vancouver! It's my favorite annual event in Boston. https://honkfest.org/

@mattg @pluralistic we’re out there in lots of cities!

we even have our own music festivals, if you want to find/hear more activist brass band music: http://honkfest.org (this is the original such festival in Somerville, MA, but there are others in Seattle, Austin, NYC, and other cities)

Scrolling through bands that have played at past Honk! festivals is also a pretty good way to try to find an activist band from your city: https://honkfest.org/all-bands

They do indeed slap. Wow.

Every protest needs a brass band.

Learning to play an instrument involves counting to four and using fractions.
