How do you access the streams when they're live?

Idk why but I feel like you would really enjoy Open Mike Eagle's music. I also feel like y'all talking about hip hop could be some cool B Sides content. Dude also has like 8 podcasts lol.

3 hours ahead of me. Gotta let me get my coffee, before you drop this stuff on me.

That point about radical centrism, I swear I felt that. I've seen where the "center" really is. Folks like Dave Rubin and Joe Rogan think they rep the center. And oh look, everything keeps drifting to the right. [Sorry Vaush, overton window still applies.] I'm just about to wrap of my philosophy class (have to take the final tomorrow), when we got to the principal being charitable, I instantly thought of how folks don't realize you cannot always be charitable, especially with those who refuse to be....you know....fascists. They thrive on charitable nature of others (tolerance) to take over. That's how it always works. I'm not 100% on what the true way forward is against the types of people who flooded Khadija's comments, but I know being overly charitable and "both sidesing" everything ain't it. To be quite honest, the radical centrists who stand up for the right-wing fascists and gaslight folks fighting for social justice or trying to stand up for themselves, that's not very Ucey of them. "Let's sit down at the table of brotherhood and have an exchange in the marketplace of ideas" nah fuck peace. I'm not gonna have this nazi choose fascism all day while I gotta be nice, prim and proper and the "center" moderator keeps jumping in when I'm defending my positiion, but letting the other guy just keep breaking all the rules. (Because fascists don't give a fuck about values, law, order or rules -- but that's another conversation and another 3 paragraphs I could type.)

Hey FD, I've been looking for you on mastodon... are you going to join?

This is almost entirely irrelevant to the discussion but I used to write tunes on ableton live and whenever I sat down to start a new project… I would instantly need to pee

Please, please, join mastodon. Twitter needs to be taken down. Destroyed. This is our only chance to make this happen. (I'm saying you need to leave twitter, but please do check this movement out. It's the most significant chance to social media in a decade at least. I don't want blackfolks to end up getting left behind. This could be a power move for us.) We can make our own social spaces, control them, come and go as we please. Seriously: This. Is. Huge.

There are a lot of blackfolks working to make this new internet space something that can work for everyone, but of course there are obstacles. None that I don't think we can face. Here is a little inside baseball about what has been going down "in the fediverse" (that's what the massive network of mastodon compatible and other servers is called. ) The internet is changing fast again! I'm trying to get in the middle of that and make certain the need of the beautiful community I once knew as "BlackTwitter" will be addressed. https://privacy.thenexus.today/black-twitter-quoting-and-white-toxicity-on-mastodon/
