A fade-out false ending! even worse. I find these fake interludes to be manipulative, pertaining a lack of natural emotion; If a song needs a fake ending then it is ultimately shit (and relying on a tired trope in a hope to convey meaning that the song has previously failed to conjure). When bands do the whole false ending crescendo thing live it is similarly used but more-so in a way to whip up the general society-is-delinquent crowd in to a 'we must shout at this part' as opposed to a conversation in the studio about 'how do we make this shit song good'. Maybe I should stop thinking about important topics and join in with current mental breakdown trends and proceed to burn my Country Teaser records to appease the woke overlords running the internet. Speaking of racists you should be burning your Elvis record too since he was the original pillager of the Black community. I know my history because It was written in a Public Enemy song. Animal Collective save the Black race, in the nick of time führer, Little Britain has been banned by the BBC for portraying racial stereotypes and that utter sad wank stain of a man Leigh Francis has apologised and removed Bo Selecta from streaming services due to his portrayal of black celebrities like Michael Jackson. It's as if context does not exist anymore and we are all going to end up being whitewashed in to toeing the line. Or we just turn the TV off and log off the internet. |

At this point Beck should be apologising for his white man rap pillaging and for beating a black woman to the Grammy. |

During the Viennese mayoral and district elections today, the Social Democrats were able to secure a landslide victory, reaching around 42% of the total vote. The conservative People's Party was only able to reach just below 19% of the popular vote. Both of the official far-right parties (there's a case to be made that the People's Party sneakily slipped into that territory as well) have lost a significant amount of the electorate amidst a plethora of scandals and in-fighting, trailing behind in the single digits each.
I've voted for the Social Democrats for the first time in ages. While I'm not completely averse to them, certain sectors within their party have pursued corporate or opportunist interests that didn't quite jive with the overall left-leaning/socially-oriented image they've been meaning to project and maintain. That has steered me towards smaller left-leaning parties with more progressive agendas in the past. I've seen certain fractions of the party push some progressive agendas in the last few months though and was a bit frustrated with some of the choices the Green Party (not to be compared with their American equivalent, they are quite different) made once they entered into a coalition with the conservatives (still a weird, quite fraught partnership), so it was a tough decision this time. The only other feasable option would have been a party so small, they don't really have a prayer of having much say. Anyway: Long story short - Even though it was a tough call this time, I'm really happy with the results. It shows that my town stuck to its guns and didn't give in to the saber rattling and bad faith arguments of reactionaries seeking to use these tough times to their advantage. The People's Party didn't really do themselves any favor by relying on the old specter of blaming the capital city for all of the country's woes on their nationwide platform. But the openly real far-right parties were gaining uncomfortable momentum throughout the last few years. To see them lose this spectacularly is cathartic to say the least. And today's vote reflected the Viennese people's frustration with their constant bullshit. At least some good news in times such as these. |

Roughly 10.000 people took to the streets to march against the Lockdown and Covid-measures in general in Vienna yesterday. Many of those idiots were of course not wearing masks and there was virtually no distance between them. Several arrests based on different crimes and misdemeanors have been made. Among them were violations of the Covid-regulations and measures, resisting authority, attempted assault etc. According to local news, one of the speakers told the crowd to "throw that rag away already" - referring to masks. Present among the mob were former head of the far right party FPÖ (Freedom Party Austria), Heinz Christian Strache, as well as several known Neonazis like the founder of the former banned party VAPO, Gottfried Küssel. Also according to local reports, special ire was directed towards members of the media - several of whom were both verbally and physically attacked by the mob.
This is exactly the result of the aggressive stupidity I've been observing for months now. It was brooding away, contributing to a weirdly uncomfortable atmosphere that was tangible. And now it's really coming to a fore. A lot of this reminds me of the scenes we've seen play out in Washington D.C. - maybe not quite on such a massive scale, but of those incidents are tantrums of similar international monsters that have been allowed to fester in recent history. I'm so fucking done with the stupidity of mankind right now. (Pictured: Idiocy, Austrian-style) (Proudly waving the flag of misinformation) (The crowd spreads, it sure does spread ...) (Look: Austria even had its own horned moron.) |

Navalny detained after arrival in Moscow.
Even Ray Charles could see that one coming.

As a matter of fact, it's just great that Austrians closed the borders to Slovakia.

There was also a protest in Amsterdam, with 2000 people, and also not keeping distance and not wearing masks. And they didn't have permission to protest where they were protesting. So police stopped them and arrested over 140 people.
Several people were interviewed on TV, and of course there were the vloggers, the brainless influencers, who were only there to vlog. Yeah right. But another one of them was a homeopathic doctor, who said among other that doctors "fake everything and get 20.000 euro for every patient", and that people are getting killed with vaccines. Meanwhile, we'll likely get a curfew in a few days, similar to other countries like France, to curb down especially the British type of Covid. Bloody Brits, first Brexit and now you've giving us a more contagious Corona variant but here's the good news!! We've discovered a new method for vaccinating!! You no longer have to vaccinate one person at a time, just put them in front of this truck for a minute or two and you can do hundreds at a time! if you're really really really bored, here's a oneandahalf hour live video report Let me know if anything interesting happened....

Way better for the soul than all the negative crap the media is constantly trying to pump into our heads. Let David and his team show you the way.
