Yeah, nice to hear that. Went to Don’s page to learn more.
A great cover of a 30 year old song. I didn’t know that the bass part was Flea’s. Before seeing your post I came here to post a reaction to this song. I liked learning a few things from it, and I like listening more closely to them on subsequent plays. 8 minutes:

Politics 1 year, 7 months agoThis PBS-Amanpour video is almost 18 minutes, but this guy gave me insight into how politically motivated violence has been happening on a predictable arc.
These weren’t mentioned in the video, but IMO perhaps 1) they’re on the same historic arc that Bannon foresaw and has been leading; 2) this is how anti-woke pushback has gotten so much fuel…[Read more]

PopeBeanie replied to the topic THINKING ABOUT THE END in the forum Small Talk 1 year, 7 months ago
I thought about suicide in only one period of time, back when I was suffering from social anxiety so badly that I stopped going to work, and depression set in. The day I drove out to jump off a cliff (literally) became a comedy of errors, getting a random flat tire on the way, during a miserable rainstorm. I.e. I couldn’t even get to the cliff,…[Read more]

About Paulina, and reflecting on Breathe, mentioned in your first post. For other readers, too. The recording’s been played when the band’s offstage during intermission. She finally played and sang it live at the Pepsi 2023 concert, for the first time. I thought she was unable to finish it, before realizing only today, it’s a very short song.

Are qualia like pain, suffering, or happiness empirically measurable in human beings? If so, might there be empirically measurable analogs in other large brained animals? Same question for developing human fetuses.

Much better than average audio quality, considering it was taken with a fancam. The small venue helped a lot, for sure.

Blame religion all you want, while it’s powerful people — especially politicians (and theocrats), who weaponize religion to pull the wool over people’s eyes and neuter any power to speak freely and rise up. (This make Trump salivate, and MAGA bow to him.)
