Finally pulled the plug on twitter. What a festering shithole. No matter how hard I tried to train my algorithm to give me music and football, I kept getting vile shit, most recently some Hitler apologetics.
Anyways, done with it.
It really has gotten pretty bad. I used to like and bookmark every 9/11 meme I found on there, and the algorithm just was feeding them to me at one point, twas glorious. About two months ago this slowed down and then halted completely. Not even a fake 'reminder that this was on Bin Laden's hard drive' meme. In my most private moments of reflection I wonder if things will ever improve, but on the real my hopes are dashed.

Why it matters: It's the first bill introduced in Congress as a direct response to the pro-Palestinian protests that have rocked Columbia University and other colleges in recent days.
Driving the news: Reps. Ritchie Torres (D-N.Y.) and Mike Lawler (R-N.Y.) are introducing the College Oversight and Legal Updates Mandating Bias Investigations and Accountability Act – or COLUMBIA Act.
- The bill would allow the Department of Education to send a "third-party antisemitism monitor" to any college that receives federal funding — and to revoke that funding for colleges that don't comply.
Feel like this bullshit is bound to backfire and to work toward actually making some Americans become legit anti-Semitic, especially younger people, which is not good for anybody. Still kind of shocking to me that a foreign government seems to have such a stranglehold over American representative democracy.

Thinking about taking a break from making music with synths and drum machines as a hobby, but I still want to have something musical that is quick to plug, play, and practice. Used to play guitar as a youngster and am thinking of selling one of my synths to finance a guitar. Had a Mexican telecaster back in the day and want another tele. Did some research and watched a bunch of demos, and this one caught my eye, the Jason Isbell telecaster. Mexican made, but I read of some people reviewing it and playing it without an amp, saying that the whole body resonated very nicely when strumming. Has a nice worn in look that I like too. The Isbell guy is like a pop country kind of player, but I watched some demos of him playing it with a slide and it sounded awesome:
Have not seen any guitar threads on here, curious if anyone here plays or has any general advice for getting back into things with guitar. Pros and cons of playing guitar for fun and trying to improve technique and musicality? I am not planning on getting an amp to start with, because I have some good simulations on my computer. Definitely want to get a loop pedal, though.

Also, just started Hiroshima (1946) by John Hersey. He visited Hiroshima after it was atomic bombed, and he wrote about the event in a way that combined journalism with fiction writing techniques, one of the first people to do this very successfully in America it seems.
