Once you get used to the pain and learn to control it like wolverine they’re actually pretty useful. Lights are one but you’re already sitting down with your snacks and popcorn, zip, ping, solved.
Fuck it let him blow all of his money on the zeitgeist machines. Meanwhile, all of you beautiful bastards will build the fediverse until it’s undeniably better in every way. These growing pains are the worst but it’s essential.
These platforms were essential tools for free thinking and organizing that’s a threat to the people on top of the heap. I think “maybe” is an understatement.
Inside of a year the front page of the internet became a mailer coupon book, and the global town square had a cybertruck drive through the crowd. The fediverse isn’t where we need it to be, yet, but it’s the only way to secure these tools from the kinds of people that want to control them.
Inspired by a post that popped on lemmy world today about Weird Al it got me thinking. I listed out a bunch of names but the one that I think fits the most would probably be Surfan Stevens. Who do you all think?
Love Sufjan. He has a Mozart mind in his own right.
If Mozart was raised with an accordion and looney tunes he might Weird Mo, if he had parents like Carrie and Lowell he might be giving LGBTQ+ and Christian Conservatives a Christmas album to agree on.
Trying to compare a Mozart of our times to the original is like comparing an apple to the tree it grew from. There are obvious similarities but fundamentally are just different things of different times.
He has a huge discography, is a talented multi instrumentalist, and is very experimental with genre and song writing in general while still effectively connecting with a growing audience. I used to know only a handful of his songs and thought, good but meh. Out of curiosity about his broad appeal between people I wouldn’t expect much over lap from, I dove into his discography and it’s something really special.
I think it might’ve been this one but it was a while back so I’ll keep looking and edit if I find something that looks more familiar. Greetings from Michigan got it’s antlers in me, after that I burned through the rest of the list pretty quickly and then it became a blur of shuffle for a few weeks.
