If only there were signs.

Did I miss something?

Haha got em. This will make a difference!

Study everything. Find interesting ways of combining what I learn in disparate fields and share that with others.

All this over punk art.

If they’re internet connected, sure I would. It’s a matter of trust. If I can’t be around you without Zuckerberg or someone looking at me too, then I don’t want to be around you.

I wish I could turn it off. Just seems unnecessary.

Peer to peer it is.

What if you could have personalized ads fed directly into your visual field at all times?

You know that’s where this is going.

We are the 71%

This is absolutely frustrating and yes, people should know better. But as our government becomes less trustworthy generally, and the business world increasingly turns into a carnival of cynical scams, it becomes harder and harder for members of the public to figure out who they should be listening to.

I just hope we find some way to turn things around and also just turn down the noise without everything collapsing first. Not sure how to accomplish that, though.

It’s not really student-led if the schools are making them go, is it.

Poor kids. They don’t deserve to be used as a means to an end like this.

“Make America Healthy Again” has always meant “bring back eugenics.”

I think you’ve pretty much got it. It’s a way to communicate that you’re thinking hard. It helps the speaker know what effect they’re having on the audience - if a lot of people looked confused or bored, the lecturer might adjust their delivery.

People love to do activities where their efforts and rewards have a strong correlation to each other. Athletics are an activity where hard work pays off. That’s rare at a job.

We elect world leaders who don’t know anything about any of those things. Why shouldn’t a singer or actor use their voice, too? At least they had the discipline to learn a craft.

This is a very broad question. But broadly, I think if you’re an artist, you probably got where you are by sharing your point of view with your audience in an authentic way. If you’re going to let fear of disapproval stop you from doing that, you might as well quit anyway.

If the tour gets canceled, Ed still has a public voice that people actually listen to. He could try to turn his fans on the owners of the venues, and what are they going to say? No one cares what some glorified landlord thinks or feels.

This was cowardly of him, and he’ll have to live with the fact that he could have been a man and wasn’t.

What did they think he was going to do? Palestine has been Macklemore’s whole thing for a few years, now. When they booked him in the first place, did they think he’d just play Thrift Shop 5 times a night or something?
