    they should go though. mexico city amazing place for all the things. i remember Mutek Mexico went to Tijuana and it was awesome. also, Pansonic played TJ and didn't play san diego which was awesome to do i think. back then san diego had a scene but TJ was way cooler outside of the tourist area. the arts/culture available there is deep and amazing. amazing people. lot's of young people doing stuff. but i haven't been in 20 years. i know it's different now. i went to some great shows there and usually had a great time. oops. meant to quote the north america quote but whatever.. you get it. sean said on mastodon that they were starting to "have discussions". he asked WTF was america like right now and people chimed in. someone asked "are you making plans for USA tour?" and he said (paraphrasing) "i wouldn't call them plans but discussions are starting to happen". that was some months back.

    they sent out stock offers/notifications to every user with an opportunity to buy at the offer price. i wonder which random redditors went all in and made some cash from the frenzy? probably many.

    there's been a few small pieces popping up about the israel lobby doing stuff and digging in deeper with congress.. and they're already pretty deep with some. not to mention on college campuses and stuff. curious to see how their influence helps shape the coming elections. what messaging will evolve from all this. it's all pretty fucked up. been meaning to get around to this book for a while. might be interesting read in these enshitified times. https://www.powells.com/book/ornament-of-the-world-9780316168717 Ornament of the World: How Muslims, Jews, and Christians Created a Culture of Tolerance in Medieval Spain This enthralling history, widely hailed as a revelation of a "lost" golden age, brings to vivid life the rich and thriving culture of "al-Andalus, " the kingdom in medieval Spain where, for more than seven centuries, Muslims, Jews, and Christians lived together in an atmosphere of tolerance, and literature, science, and the arts flourished.

    and then there's.. https://newrepublic.com/post/180017/alina-habba-donald-trump-debt-foreign-countries Alina Habba Accidentally Admits Donald Trump Could Be Totally Bought Donald Trump is in massive debt, and his attorney admitted he’s open to other strategies to pay it off. also, seems the properties donald has are over valued and he has a couple hundred million dollars in loans on them. fucking house of cards. https://www.newsweek.com/donald-trump-properties-civil-fraud-fine-loan-1881750

    they also did a similar thing w/a neanderthal's vocal chords. i forget who the expert is but this is what they came up with.. and i can imagine hundred of neanderthals running around screeching at each other and it's no wonder homo sapiens won out. https://youtu.be/ClgdyYqTk_o?si=STwEWLNZabmX-_aj won't embed for some youtube reason.. below is an edit obviously but you only get part of the clip from above

    by "we" i meant the world. humans as a species. not just the USA. we're breaking records. as for evolving a sense of duty to community and greater good etc.. that was trained out of us by capitalism and individuality messaging/propaganda. other countries are different of course. i mean.. here's america.. these are the people we have to club in the head with messaging or legislate this dumb shit out of existence.

    i don't see us voting our way out of this. to survive it's going to require a systems change. not saying to not vote.. but don't hang all the hopes on it. we're breaking emissions records EVERY YEAR for the last like 5 years or something. effectively doing absolutely nothing to fight the problem. the heat that's built into the system already hasn't shown itself yet. if we stopped emitting right now and everyone one in the world sat on their couches and did nothing we'd still hit 2 degrees warming which now looks like it will be genuinely catastrophic for humanity. the communication of the problem has been a huge failure. it should be every day everywhere. a lot of americans don't know what's going on at all. they think climate change is the ozone hole and by not buying paper towels they're doing enough. worth reminding that this isn't just a warming problem but overshooting earth's boundaries. even w/o global warming and the climate predicament we'd be up against the wall due to resource limitations and wrecking the ecology of the entire planet. we're basically going full Harkonnen and making a shit planet.

    there's a few places this could go.. the social media effect on our lives thread or the how does the world view america thread.. but here is where it lands it is a good bit of info about this movie and the people involved.. and pulls in all kinds of people and ideas and snowballs into a big finale about social media, america, right wing conservative religious fascists
