    What a goddamn album. From what I've seen its pretty decisive but imo this is the best follow up he could have given. I didn't want another damn or tpab, this is way more personal of an album

    This is a great follow up to TPAB. I kind of think on that one he looked at big picture structural issues and like you said on this one, it’s examining a lot of personal level things (probably a mix of happening to him and observation of friends and fam). 
    Lots going on on the record.

    Cmon, the Brown album is a timeless classic.  The three track run of 'Lush 3-1', 'Lush 3-2', into 'Impact (The Earth Is Burning)' is outstanding.  It still hits as hard as it did back in the day.

     Brown Album hits all the way through. Basically from the Brown Album through to Middle of Nowhere the brothers Hartnoll were producing top notch techno. The Diversions EP in 92 as well was fucking great.

    the rest is meh and is too theatrical for my taste. almost like a record you'd get if you attended some kind of experimental college hiphop play.

    This is basically what Kendrick did on "To Pimp a Butterfly". He took the narrative construct that was outstanding but somewhat linear and fairly one-dimensional on "Good Kid MADD City" and flipped it to that type of structure where he's examining bigger structural issues in society. This seems to have taken it to the next level - I'm on my first run through now, but I'm enjoying this a lot.

    double edged sword though. there's something so mind numbing about those kinds of things that it can feel like a trap which causes anxiety and need to change the channel and watch something else as means of relief. 

    Yeah you don't really sleep - you just time travel - you regain consciousness 3 hours later with no recollection of what just happened.

    Ukraine civilization in the Civilization game:

    Leader: Zelenskyy
    Unique ability: friendly units fighting in friendly territory have a +15% combat bonus, and each civilization who declared a Friendship will spawn one military unit near the Capital.

    Unique units:
    Agricultural Tractor (each own military unit within the Tractor's sphere of influence have a 20% chance of converting enemy units to your own)

    I like this new DLC.

    Right knee aching since 2020. A pain that originates on the inner side of the knee and shoots up the thigh when its bad. MRI appear normal. Physical therapy has no effect. 

    Idk lol, any suggestions? 

    It could be rheumatism - some autoimmune disease? Yes much more common in women, but men have a risk as well..

    Reading this at the moment. Highly recommended along with his previous book, Red Notice. They read like thrillers tbh. 

    It helps to understand how the Kremlin, the oligarchs, the FSB and organised crime are all interlinked and in many cases overlap in Putin's Russia.

    Thanks, didn’t know he had a second one. Red Notice was great.

    spanish authorities saying "we think they might be connected but we're not sure how"

    The Spanish one seems like a murder suicide...maybe the dude was anticipating being put on a sanctions list? He's not on any currently and his net worth was only like $450 million so Putin couldn't have valued him that much..or feared him...

    More likely: the cost of living increase therefore customers are culling non-essentials, returning to office working so less home-streamy-time, and (certainly in the UK) putting the price up

    Don't forget - charging extra for HD and even more for 4K, and replacing quality content with utter dross (how many fucking "reality" shows does the world need?).

    must not be available here in usa.  only results returned are "explore titles related to Princess/Godess of The Moon - Kaguya"  but no actual results for that movie. 

     

    Try "The Tale of Princess Kaguya". It's available in Canada, can't imagine they would pass up the US market.
