    I used a similar technique once to have ~300 people stand up and check under their seats. All it took was a bit of hype and energy and they all listened to the one person with a mic.

    It was meant to be an icebreaker, but it worked so well it backfired. Everyone under 50 laughed,; everyone over 50 was looking at me like I was the reason they were dealing with credit card fraud issues.



  • Hmm. I forgot US voters don’t actually have a great choice…

    Hey. Voting for the least shittiest option is a start for the people, yeah? 👍 Chin up! They’ve done it a few times, they’ll do it again. Hopefully not needing a WW to piggyback on this time, despite all current attempts.

    Accountability and freedom and all of that stuff that made the world envious of the idea for a good run! It’s still there and always has been!!

    Remember the Constitution! (And the amendments… definitely need those…in their literal form too… Plenty that could be enacted rn)

    I wish I had more. I even discussed this with my friends and we all drew to the same conclusion; we just don’t know anyone like her.

    There’s a few artists like others have mentioned, but she’s very unique in her style and writing.

    Honestly, you’re best of listening through her awesome discography and checking similar artists on whatever service you use online.

    There’s a lot of other great Australian female-led artists/bands similar to Courtney; Tired Lion, Camp Cope, Lyla Foy, The Jezabels, Thelma Plum… But at the same time, they’re nothing at all like her, just some cross-over here and there.

    Kurt Vile is definitely the closest for US. He’s also the former guitarist of War On Drugs which have an amazing sound in the first albums he played in.

    When I think Europe, there’s really nothing too similar in “vibe” I have seen. Just a different post-2015 scene—which I personally loooove—but different vibe in their own cool way.

    If you liked the brazen Australian accent just poetically overcoming their daft tone with strong words, I can recommend Wil Wagner - Laika, but be warned, you’ll probably tear up if you’re a dog or general animal lover. It’s like the audio version of that Futurama episode. His writing is very similar. While his band, Smith Street Band, are very rock-centric, the writing is still raw, honest, and self-reflective of oneself. I’ll post some of his stuff.


  • No. I saw someone being inventive with a new narrative that contradicts the actual narrative. I don’t care if the social agenda is gender-based, raising classes of ethnicity, or if they just started being all pro-MAGA; the behaviour is still the same, regardless of the diversity of values in their agenda. It is intentionaly deceitful and the plague that has killed the Information Age.

    So, I think it’s insane to call out my behaviour like that. Not even a male but got “triggered” by a single word reserved for males that lean extreme on a spectrum for males. Gaslight all you want, I’m simply incompatible with what your convenience wishes of me.

    That said, your links are excellent. I encourage you to post them as actual posts where discussion and awareness can be spread proactively, avoiding any disservice toward such important things. Let’s keep our information clean and honest, knowing many people rely on comments over actually reading the content of posts.
