Axios: Oh, No! The Right Wing Is Building "Its Own Echo Chamber," Separate from Our Corporate-Backed, Monopoly-Enforced Echo Chamber
They're upset that we're no longer willing to submit to their censorship and control.
Conservatives are aggressively building their own apps, phones, cryptocurrencies and publishing houses in an attempt to circumvent what they see as an increasingly liberal internet and media ecosystem. Why it matters: Many of these efforts couldn't exist without the backing of major corporate figures and billionaires who are eager to push back against things like "censorship" and "cancel culture."Those words are in "doubt quotes" to show that their existence is highly dubious.
8 I notice they don't use scare quotes on "echo chamber."
Posted by: Bertram Cabot, Jr.
The bottom line: Conservative media has been a powerhouse for a long time, but this phase of its expansion isn't just about more or louder conservative voices -- it's about building an entire conservative ecosystem.

Right. You noticed that to, did you? This is also akin to Twitter's new "no pictures without consent from everyone in it" policy. A bunch of non-communists have been swarming the leftist Twitter accounts with violation reports, using the rule against the people who wrote it. This is another example of the same phenomenon.
These rules and methods exist for them to use against not-them. Any use of anything by not-them is an unbearable violation.

God knows they tried. Rush always said they did not have the talent to be able to talk off script for four hours.
I think that is part of it, but more than that: Liberals want to be on TV. They want to be seen. There is a performance artist part of it. 'See Lucy Kung Fu Grip Houlihan?! (who would not give me a date in high school) See! I am on TV! And I have much hotter interns!'

We need a decentralized/uncensorable social media protocol where the content is replicated/distributed across nodes (ala BitTorrent), so there is no single point of failure/control. But this is a difficult problem to solve technically.

"the benefits of vaxxinating kids against covid FAR OUTWEIGH the risks of myocarditis" [with a picture of the child and vaxxster both masked]
"most young people RECOVER QUICKLY from myocarditis sided effect of covid-19 vaxxine" [except for the one who DIED, ooopsie! and myocarditis is the *only* side effect, right?]

That would be a great startup if you could figure out the architecture. The problem with Social Media is that it depends on participation and big names to attract people, and we can't even get names like Nick Searcy to bail on Twitter and Facebook for the alternatives.

When it becomes too inconvenient, Big Tech will crush them all. There is nothing to stop them beyond making folks mad. There will come a time when not even that matters.
What needs to happen to avoid that at this point is to build an entire parallel civilization. Not just our own internet or whatnot, it needs to be everything. Communications. Schools. Banks. Businesses. In short, everything.
More simply, a country.

Why it matters: billionaires support it and uh I got nothing.
Is it drugs? Is that why everyone's mind on the left is melted goo? They couldn't come up with a compelling argument against it. "You should be against it because billionaires!" Well, Bill Gates is working to implement several programs I don't like. How about some pushback against his idea to blot out the sun, or to force us to eat bugs, or Common Core.

The Wall Street cabal is stupid enough to turn half of the entire population into criminals, to the extent the cabal hasn't unpersoned these people already. But centralized anything is vulnerable to all out attack. Crypto it up, and accept the swings as facts of life. And make do without banking- farmers markets and rural life will help you?

The latter has my bet, and it is entirely predictable. Good evolutionary strategy is "be more transmissible and less severe" and this is also the typical progression. The stronger (evolution-wise) variant will crowd out and minimize or potentially exterminate the others.
If "omicron" (really xi) is that, then COVID is over. The prior variants and the original prime virus will be wiped out by it.

As the Americans learned so painfully in Earth's final century, free flow of information is the only safeguard against tyranny. The once-chained people whose leaders at last lose their grip on information flow will soon burst with freedom and vitality, but the free nation gradually constructing its grip on public discourse has begun its rapid slide into despotism. Beware of he who would deny you access to information, for in his heart he dreams himself your master.

My dad was spot on with this. I remember, vividly, coming home with my mom in the summer of 1994 to find my dad unexpectedly home with the PC in pieces on the kitchen table, installing a modem. My mom asked him what it did and he replied, "it lets the computer talk on the phone with other computers." She freaked out about the price ($400, IIRC) and accused him of wasting far too much money on a fad.
He said, "honey, this is the future and we and our children are going to be a part of it. This is either going to being the greatest engine of liberty we could ever conceive, or the greatest engine of tyranny imaginable. We don't know which it will be, but everything will be replaced with it and we'd damn well better understand it."
That has stuck with me to this day. He was right.

If they follow the lead of Boston's truly garbage WCRB, the only 'classical' music allowed to be recorded or broadcast will be that by women, gays or blacks.
If you want a vision of the future, imagine a playlist of Ned Rorem, Amy Beach and William Grant Still jamming needles into your ears forever.

Huge fan going back to their pre-pop days. Back in 1980 when they were touring they did a signing at Tower Records. I took my laser etched LP in with my Letraset colored markers and had the band sign using "true colors" instead of black sharpies. Neil kept my purple marker. So I have a fully signed LP cover and sleeve. BTW, they were awesome live. The crappy PA at Keystone Palo Alto died for about 5 minutes, so Noel Crombie played the spoons while Tim danced. Showmanship.

30 something years ago I was working for a certain router company and my customer base were these guys who were transitioning things like ARPANET to new fangled thing called the internet that was going to allow electronic transmission of all sorts of things including email.
One time we had a guest speaker who came to address our group, a guy by the name of Tim Berners-Lee who pretty much invented the WWW. Genius guy, barely took a nickel for all his inventions cause he wanted the internet to be as free and unregulated as possible.
Best of intentions and all that.

So apparently, yes, if you've recently had the (corona virus version of) common cold it gives you resistance to COVID: https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/34273512/
Conclusions: Immunity to seasonal human coronavirus OC43 effectively enhanced recovery from COVID-19. Detecting cross-reactive antibodies to OC43 may help to predict prognosis for patients with COVID-19.

Funny enough, Neil joined the band on album #2, but wasn't much of a writer at first. He hit stride on their first hit (he wrote "I Got You"). The next album Waiata/Corroboree his brother Tim wrote "Hard Act To Follow" because Neil had gotten so good. IMHO the Best Crowded House is Woodface, with brother Tim on board. Less poppy/happy than their hit debut.

It exists. The system is called SOLID and it is based on making your data portable. The reason why it doesn't go anywhere is because software costs huge amounts of money to develop, sell and support. Data happens organically but is where the real value lives. So if you use Quicken to do your taxes, the data is yours and you should be able to just take it to any Intuit competitor and use their software. SOLID is that scheme that permits it. if you have a business accounting package and you become disenchanted with the software and wish to change, SOLID would permit that. Problem is no one wants to write software to be compliant with SOLID because the data your customers add into your cloud based product is very valuable - and companies LOVE those continuous subscription fees.

I didn't care one way or another for classical music until my dad told me before going off to college that he read somewhere that listening to classical music helps to concentrate when studying. So I tried it and it did seem to help. So over the years at work, I've listened to classical music or music scores from movies/TV (Braveheart, Last of the Mohicans, Lord of the Rings, Game of Thrones, Black Sails) on my headphones to relax and concentrate.
And because over the years I have made YouTube playlists with this music, I get recommendations for stuff like this that I have come to like as well:

And they don't participate in platforms that don't censor non-lefties because they can't compete with them on those terms.
Their ideology is highly effective politically (and militarily, once it hits that phase) but requires the ability to arm-twist those that don't comply. It's why they spent so long marching through the institutions.

A broad swath of the populace tuning out the MSM is also tuning out the government propaganda.
COVID is instructive. If people simply turned off the media, how they thought about COVID would rapidly change. COVID impacts my life every day -- but all of it is externally, from dealing with local BS caused as a consequence of it.
So, of course, they fear alternative media and will seek to throttle it in its cradle. If they fail, they will try to control it instead.

The US Army Biathlon training center happens to be about 3 miles from where I live. Used to be up there a lot with my kids during the winter and occasionally the Army guys would go by on a training run (well ski actually). There are no words to adequately describe it, best I can come up with is being close to a locomotive pulling a fully loaded freight train. The raw power emanating from those soldiers is unbelievable.

Disagree entirely. The morally blank Tater would have been PR representative at Bergen-Belson (for example) with enthusiasm, explaining the nearby towns how great an economic opportunity death camps could be. He would have been bursting from his uniform, and his commander would forever be threatening him with the Russian Front (ineffectiveness is bad), but Tater would have loved the Reich.

Man, I see in Fight Club the strongest and smartest men who've ever lived. I see all this potential, and I see it squandered. God damn it, an entire generation pumping gas, waiting tables - slaves with white collars. Advertising has us chasing cars and clothes, working jobs we hate so we can buy shit we don't need. We're the middle children of history, man. No purpose or place. We have no Great War. No Great Depression. Our great war is a spiritual war. Our great depression is our lives. We've all been raised on television to believe that one day we'd all be millionaires, and movie gods, and rock stars, but we won't. And we're slowly learning that fact. And we're very, very pissed off.

It's neat how that's probably the reason I look at the 90s with so much fondness. No one gave a sh*t about racism anymore. There weren't any wars except for the ones that we were creating because we needed to make them up. And we can say that now because look around us.
Then "our betters" decided to seriously f*ck everything up on purpose in order to keep America from getting better.

Graduated HS and college in the 1990s. Out on my own away from family in college and internships in the 1990s. Finally somewhat independent and able to learn and mature on my own in the 1990s. I look back on that time with great memories. Music included. Discovered Aerosmith, INXS, Van Halen, NIN, Pearl Jam, STP, Soundgarden, Nirvana, Smashing Pumpkins, Collective Soul, U2, Tom Petty, Bush, Everclear, Red Hot Chili Peppers, Alice in Chains, Bush, The Offspring.

I'm trapped in an "All Hands Meeting" in which we are singing the praises of our culture. The executive just did a totally impromptu back and forth with a self described, "Gay, Hispanic woman." They stressed that it was important to be inclusive, which they describe as allowing people to be themselves.
The "Gay, Hispanic woman" says that when she was interviewing for the job, she looked around at our company's online presence to make sure there were some gay pride flags. She found there were some so she felt like she'd be accepted.

The Beatles were really good at what they did.
Paul was desperately trying to keep it all going to no avail.
Ringo and George were better than given credit at the time.
The most fascinating scene is Paul sitting down with his Bassman bass and literally conjuring the song Get Back from the ether while George and Ringo watch with boredom then intently joining in and then John shows up late takes off his fur coat and joins in mid stream without missing a beat.

You could listen to what you wanted, when you wanted instead of waiting for the local station to play it. As a result, record companies saw their sales plummet and their money disappear. No more doing blow off a supermodel's rear end in your Lamborghini any longer.
Record companies did not know how to respond to this change, or what to do, so they freaked out and locked onto the one consistent safe selling and reliable market niche: 13-17 year old girls. They'd buy and listen to anything no matter how terrible because it had a beat you could dance to and cute boys. You could release the same song 15 times in a row with very slight changes and the little girls didn't care, they got daddy to buy them the new songs anyway.

There was so much money being made everywhere in the industry that everyone was willing to try just about anything. A lot of it was shit, but there was whole lot of stuff being tried and a lot of it was quite good. There was tremendous innovation and experimentation in the 90s and a real appetite for risk that all died off when Napster ended the party. The party would have ended anyway since they always do, but internet piracy was the cause that time.

Looks like someone is making a slam-dunk case that the bizarre pattern of some Pfizer vax batches being massively more lethal/harmful than the others is explained by a deliberate experiment on the public to determine what was safe.

It's funny, I've been listening to the 80's channel on Xfinity while I work lately. It sends me back to the 1980s, when I was a kid. It actually sends me back to a time of innocence. With each song that comes on the playlist, I can remember times in my life. Such as Roxette songs (The Look) which remind me of a crush I had on a girl in junior high. That's how some 90s songs work for me as well. Sends me back to that time in my life. It's not really that the songs are good or bad, but they bring back certain memories.

Not just Pfizer, also Moderna and Johnson&Johnson and in a pattern that looks as if they colluded to both not overlap their trials, but with the Pfizer, issue particular batches with sequentially less toxic elements.
If this is not a data collection or listing error, then there is a serious problem going on that may require tribunals.

even then though it was interesting and that is because they had something to be against.
the 90s was just nice.

The Dead Kennedy's had two versions of California Uber Allies - One attacking Reagan, one Governor Jerry Brown.
They were at least following their own ideas, which I can respect.

Yes, but I didn't discover them until the 1990s. Unfortunately, I lived a pretty sheltered life, thanks to being the first child and having overprotective parents. I didn't discover GnR until I went over to a friend's house to hangout and he was playing GnR CDs, Use your Illusion (which were new to me, I was still playing cassette tapes).
For my birthday one year, I got a "boom box" with CD player and my first CD: Aerosmith - Get a Grip. I played that over and over. My uncle, who was huge into "classic rock" then turned me on to a lot of their previous albums as well as bands like INXS. I was an instant fan. My uncle died a few years ago after a motorcycle accident and to this day, whenever I hear Aerosmith or INXS songs on the radio, I think of him.

one great bit from SNL within the last decade was when DaveGrohl and Armesan did a bit where they're reunited their punk band at a wedding and the lyrics were dated 80's bullsh like "tell me where the bombs are Alexander Haig". oh man, best bit ever they need to reunite.

The vaxxed had to have brought it in.

I imagine a large fraction of the 'best people' have forged their vax status, possibly to the same percentage as the anti-vaxxers. It might explain why the failure of vax to protect is curiously never pursued by the powers that be.

Yep, I remember downloading everything from Napster. Sometimes I'd end up buying the CD if I liked enough of the songs on the album. But a lot of times, I'd realize I only liked 1 or 2 songs and that buying the CD for only those 1 or 2 songs was a waste. I'm sure others made the same decisions.

I've seen comments elsewhere to the effect that it's awfully weird how the moronic variant is said to have the same side effects, including heart issues, as the current vaxxines.
