I like the new Paramore song. Part of the reason I feel I *need* social media is so I can see other people who think like I do collectively going "Are you seeing this shit?" cause sometimes I feel like I'm going insane.

A lot of bad shit has happened since the last Paramore album, I know music is escapism but its also nice to see the shit show acknowledged.

OK, let's compromise. You can keep the Christ in Christmas but you have to take him out of politics. Deal?

In 2 U.S. cities haunted by race massacres, facing the past is painful and divisive

It's usually the tracks off the Copperhead Road album that get all the attention, but The Hard Way probably just pips it as a favourite imo

So no one on here seems to be posting any #GlassArt that I can find, so I'm starting my own.
This is a piece I made a couple of years ago, of the Stokes Fed Courthouse in CLE.
It's been a while since I played with glass, so I've got to get back to doing some more. Seems like the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame should be next.

Minimal Selfhood and the Origins of Consciousness

"The idea underlying the present treatise is that consciousness is logically dependent not, as is commonly assumed, on ownership of an anatomical brain or nervous system (as happens to be the mammalian paradigm), but on the intrinsic reflexivity characteristic of minimal selfhood."

#Twitter So, what have we learned since Musk took over running Twitter?
One thing we've learned is that if given enough money, enough arrogance, enough ignorance, enough incompetence, you can turn anything to shit in an astonishingly short period of time.

I don't want to tag hundreds of people, but this is hilarious!!
