I hate this.

It is gaslighting nonsense that serves only to normalize and center ignorant adults demanding others cater to their failures.

In the era of access to all human knowledge via a phone, ignorance is a choice.

We coddle way, way too much.

washingtonpost.com/health/2021/03…
It just aggrieves me to no end that we spotlight ignorant people as if being willfully uneducated is just a condition that befell them which they bear no responsibility for - and which the rest of us need to somehow cure them of like they were helpless toddlers.
Okay, one more thing and then I’m done...

When society adopts the position that the ignorant must always be persuaded first, we give the least intelligent people in society the power to veto things by simply choosing to not believe them... or saying they don’t.
It is not essential that people who have no interest in knowledge of any kind be convinced a novel mRNA vaccine is effective against a coronavirus.

That is not required.

And we have to get over thinking serving society’s best interests hinges on the agreement of dipshits.

There is an endless amount of toxic crap in the world - and on here - so, maybe this will be a welcome diversion for a few minutes.

It’s about music or it’s about all of us or maybe it’s about me. I don’t know.

1/
A couple months ago, I found myself without my son on a Friday night for the first time in the past year.

For whatever reason, that landed on me with a surprising weight.

We’ve been isolated a long time. Eventually, the bill for that loss comes due.

2/
I felt a heavy, settling loneliness that went beyond the transient sadness of just missing having plans on one particular night.

In theory, I’m not isolated. I have ample connectivity to a larger group of humans than I can even manage.

I don’t even feel like going into it but Shaun King is trending for doing what Shaun King does.

He is a fucking parasite. The way he exploits hurting people is just the lowest of the low. He is trash.
Seriously, you have to be a special kind of piece of shit to do what Shaun King does.

Vultures prey on the dead. Shaun King spots the dead and then preys on the living who gather to mourn.

That grifting asshole should have been cancelled 50 times over by now.
This asshole had the audacity to swoop in and write a mind-numbingly patronizing and condescending piece about Samaria Rice.

Shaun, you clownyass motherfucker, when Samaria Rice - mother of Tamir Rice - a mother who lost her child - speaks, keep your dumb mouth shut.

Let me just tell you, the peregrine falcon is one of the baddest animals on the planet.

Peregrines hunt by dropping into a steep dive where they basically turn themselves into missiles traveling at up to 200 mph.

1/
Fighter jet engine designs were informed by studying peregrine falcons.

By 1974, thanks to DDT, peregrines were effectively all but extinct in the United States in all but the west coast.

2/
There were four peregrines left in the entire state of New York.

To save the species, west coast falconers passed eggs to east coast falconers who tended to them and raised the chicks through first winters before releasing them.

Okay, I need a few hardcore music heads to listen to something so I can talk about it with people into this kind of thing.

Artist: Harmony Woods
Track: “I Can’t”

Settle in somewhere quiet. Turn it up. Really immerse in it.

*Listen for the production beyond just the vocals*

Who else is watching the #GRAMMYs with me?

I’m just gonna use this thread to talk about ‘em so I don’t clog up your timeline.
Harry Styles DGAF what you think. He has swagger, that one.
Billy Eyelash has really grown on me. I was slow to warm but I’m there.

I can’t take it anymore. I’m just blocking anyone in my mentions so fucking stupid they think Republicans can somehow pardon Trump if Cuomo leaves office... and is replaced by a Democratic woman.
And if your response is “Well, I didn’t know that if Cuomo were to leave office, he’d be replaced by the Lieutenant Governor - a Democrat - because that is how it works...”.

WHY ARE YOU SPREADING HORSESHIT CONSPIRACY THEORIES IF YOU DONT KNOW HOW IT EVEN WORKS?
Stop making our side of the aisle look like the kind of QAnon-believing morons we roll our eyes at.

You are embarrassing *all of us*.

Jesus. Pathetic.
