Nasty one for a late #GrindayFriday, because the weather in Phoenix is gross. MOCSKœSHI is from Slovakia/Czechia and is a project with members of Morbid Angel Dust and Sick Destroyer. This demo they put out last year is grody and raw, and as a bonus, it has a full 'noise' version of all the tracks, as well. Double gross.

Someday, I want to erase everything and vanish offline, I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again.
I’m sick of being trapped in this endless cycle of digital puppetry and mental sludge, where every click feeds some shallow algorithm designed to keep you hooked and dumbed down, turning people into another batch of screen-zombies chasing cheap hits and empty dopamine hits.
I want out of this rat race of constant noise and manufactured crises, where reality is warped into a carnival…

This framing of long COVID is uh chilling. Not masking in public sure seems dumb.

excellent analysis of covid state of play
From Julia Doubleday.
"Each time a new wave crops up, the media scrambles to let the public know that COVID is spreading “again” ... But each time, it fails to inform the public that nearly half of COVID cases are asymptomatic, that COVID looks different in different patients, that vaccines do not prevent infections, that rapid tests have high false negative rates, and that COVID is fully airborne.
"Taken together, the virus I’m describing is much more difficult to control than the one the press presents. The press frames the virus as something that can be halted by familiarizing yourself with the symptoms, staying home once you feel sick and test positive, and avoided altogether by simply getting vaccinated or keeping ones’ distance from sick people. ...
"The misinformation that reigns in liberal spaces is not the result of accidental miscommunication. People don’t know that the virus is asymptomatic 40% of the time because there is simply no universe where that virus is controllable without an elimination strategy, or a day-to-day mitigation strategy."

Hoarding syndrome is considered a psychiatric condition, not a crisis for democracy itself
-- with one giant exception:
When people with hoarding syndrome are born with or come into massive wealth
-- suddenly what was once a personal, psychiatric issue can become a crisis for all of society.

It’s what drove the fascist oligarchs of the Confederacy to reach out and try to conquer the entire United States in the 1860s.

Red State Voters Approved Progressive Measures. GOP Lawmakers Are Trying to Undermine Them.
In the wake of ballot measures that increased abortion access and improved sick leave for workers, a coordinated effort is unfolding across the country to restrict direct democracy — and shift power to partisan legislatures.

Best of all: everything is free, thanks to #openrouter 😍
I am so sick of all these none-free bullshit websites or chrome-plugins that don't work. Even the custom GPTs in #chatgpt are bullshit. The only YouTube summarizer that works is

Anyone else getting thoroughly sick of the internet?

Across the country, Republican lawmakers have been working to undermine or altogether undo the will of the voters -- by making it harder to pass amendments and laws through citizen-led initiatives.
In #Missouri, the 2025 legislative session was dominated by Republican lawmakers trying to reverse two major measures that voters had put on the ballot and approved just months before;
