In Liverpool, it's usually Yakity Yak and potatoes welcoming the far right... I fully endorse this use of klezmer bands.

@pluralistic @inthehands At any event where the Proud Boys show up, they need to be met by a loud klezmer band.

@Gladso @jhavok @pluralistic strong agree.

- There are no Democrats publicly agitating about how the NLRB lacks quorum because the Trump administration illegally dismissed two board members
- There are no Democrats staging sit-ins to draw attention ICE from selling immigrants to El Salvadoran slave camps
- Hell, there aren’t even any elected Democrats making noise about the fact that the Trump administration is selling humans to El Salvadoran slave camps in the first place!

Democrats appear more concerned with their fundraising than they are with human rights or labor rights violations.

@jongary @pluralistic

I am immediately in favor of any proposal to increase the number of Klezmer band performances.

@jhavok @pluralistic Not at all. I want the Democrats to stop wringing their hands and become more combative against the fascist takeover. I have donated quite a bit to the Democrats, but am growing tired of the incessant begging.
Also, why aren't the things democratic voters want at the top of the agenda?

@paraplegic_racehorse @Moosjazz @pluralistic Wut? I play recorder. It's a full 2 octave chromatic instrument, plus maybe one or two more notes on the high end if you're daring. That's around 25 notes. Highland pipes are diatonic instruments with an octave and a ninth range. You get 10 notes, that's it. Medieval bagpipes and most other folk bagpipes are also diatonic 1-octave instruments. So no, bagpipe fingering is way simpler than recorders.

A #VOX no li agrada el cartell del Festival de Jazz de #SaPobla.

Diuen que és «vergonyós i execrable».

Per tant, feis-los cas i no compartiu el cartell ni hi aneu al festival. No sigui que s'enfadin més...

@apophis @hankg @pluralistic @clintruin @mloxton The thing the Republicans did was get the rich to finance an incredible hate campaign. For example, there are constant professionally produced videos of trans people behaving badly in public that pretend to be real events rather than actors on a set, posted on social media. This hate campaign was doing the thing it took to win, and it worked.

Popup video.

Trying something new on the DNA Lounge calendar pages, let me know how it works. When an event has embedded videos, they no longer play inline and tiny: when you click on them, a full-width player pops up. The good: The page loads faster...

@pluralistic

It's worth noting that a bagpipe chanter and the humble recorder are fingered the same. Learn to play bagpipes and truly frighten away the fascist pigs.

@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

Bravely taking to their feet
They beat a very brave retreat
Bravest of the brave; the proudboys!

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

WAPO: Protests

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