Happy to announce that @romangressier.com and I will be reppin’ @elfaro.net @elfaroenglish.bsky.social at Dartmouth College, presenting “ICE is here” a photo concert… and yes, afterwards they’ve asked me to hit the ones-and-twos and do a DJ set (hiphop/electronica)… “for the kids, man… the kiiids”

I get the feeling BlueSky is very English-based, which is no problem. I just get the impression that there isn’t a large Spanish-speaking audience. At least not yet. Am I wrong?

Yo soy de los que aún se acuerda de tener que conectarme con un módem de 14.4 kbps, con la promesa que nos dieron a todos que “el internet uniría la humanidad”. Ajá… 🤡

Same here.

Trump was warned repeatedly by the estate of Isaac Hayes to stop playing “Hold On, I’m Coming” at political rallies. He ignored those warnings and played it 133 times. Now he had to settle a $3 million lawsuit. www.rollingstone.com/music/music-...

Don’t let Trump steal your music. Sue him like the Hayes family did.

When they say “the international community”

Anytime I hear “bring back Free Expression” or “protect free speech”. I know it just means they want the freedom to be a POS. No one ever says that when they are being kind or productive. Looks like Mark Zuckerberg got fully Eloned.

So perhaps the answer was and has always been embracing @bsky.app Ever since I left X, I became a sort of social net “refugee”, refusing to feed the algorithms owned by billionaires that misconstrue the terms “freedom of expression” and “fairness” to their political convenience. Is this the place?

Here is a nice mushroom

Women have been complaining that doctors don't warn them how much an IUD insertion can hurt — or offer pain relief. Now the CDC is recommending that doctors do more to help.

“Now where was I.” Jon Stewart returned on Monday night as host of “The Daily Show.” It was the beginning of a plan that will bring Stewart back to the show on Mondays through the presidential election.

“In Pakistan like in Central America, local power holders were emboldened by Henry Kissinger,” writes Fordham historian Héctor Lindo. “To understand the consequences, we can look at El Salvador in 1972, as the ashes of the Bengali fire were still smoldering.” #efOpinion elfaro.net/en/202312/op...

President Biden will commute the sentences of 11 people who had been jailed for nonviolent drug offenses and pardon convictions for marijuana use and possession on federal lands, he said, in an effort to address racial disparities in drug sentencing.

The Wisconsin Supreme Court ruled that the state’s legislative maps, heavily gerrymandered in favor of Republicans, were unconstitutional. It ordered new maps before the 2024 election, which could cause a seismic political shift in a crucial swing state.

NEW: Starting today, Nayib Bukele says he is no longer in power in #ElSalvador. An inner-circle financial officer, Claudia Rodríguez, will allegedly make all the decisions as interim head-of-state until June, when he plans to return to office for a second term. elfaro.net/en/202311/el...

Perhaps no federal officeholder in modern U.S. history has been accused of ignoring, testing or breaking as many aspects of campaign finance law so flagrantly, in such a short span of time, as George Santos has. His case, while extreme, illustrates the profound weaknesses of the system.

Este finde fue muy satisfactorio para un lado que tengo pero que reprimo: producción de #eventos. Desde que dejé Istmo Music me he dedicado a mi estudio, mi música y me dije hace años que no quería regresar al estrés de #producción. Debo de admitir que “el gusanito” de producción aún vive.

I need to recommend this documentary. Simply amazing and full of info. #Synth #Electronic #Music #Producer #ElectronicMusic
