Oh, these are the days, these are the strangest of all These are the nights, these are the darkest to fall But who knows, echoes in tenement halls? Who kn...
Ever since I was a small kid I had this feeling of not fitting in with my peers, not going the "mainstream" route, not doing the things that everyone around me was doing at the time, not caving in to this French guy called Pierre Presseur. Music used to be, and still is, the main way how to deal with the feelings of alienation, isolation and being different by letting my true self shine. It was…
I've been Linux user for majority of my adult life as the idea of Free Open Source Software (FOSS) and open internet was always very dear to my heart. I've always also been a gamer on the side. With Linux at the time (10-15 years ago) was not so good for gaming as it is today , so dualbooting was the primary thing of keeping the world-view aligned with the software philosophy while still being…
The quote from Albert Rosenfield in Twin Peaks Season 2 Episode 3, right after the one shared earlier from the movie Network , are the ones that have touched me on a deeper level than anything else. Despite Albert having a beef with Truman and being a dick in general, he delivers this great speech: While I will admit to a certain cynicism, the fact is that I’m a naysayer and hatchet man in the…
As per FUTURISM : Like a lot of very online right wingers who are suddenly qualified classicists, [Musk is] very upset about the new Odyssey adaptation directed by Christopher Nolan. Nolan, according to Musk, “desecrated Homer and groveled on his knees just to meet the woke rules required to win an Oscar.” That’s because his movie dares to do stuff like cast Black women and a trans man in…
Eddie Vedder - Society (from Into the Wild (2007) soundtrack): It's a mystery to me We have a greed with which we have agreed And you think you have to want more than you need Until you have it all, you won't be free Society, you're a crazy breed I hope you're not lonely without me When you want more than you have, you think you need And when you think more than you want, your thoughts begin to…
This specific part of lyrics from Zabiť Františka 's song "Ostrov" 1 are stuck in my head ever since I've heard them for the very first time. Hrdinovia nevyhrajú skrz to, že im tlieskaš Which roughly translates to: Heroes will not win just because you are rooting for them 2 There is nothing better describing the situation we are living in. Perhaps due to the social media, everyone is just cheering…
As per The Verge : "...,sperm racing has recently taken off in Silicon Valley. Yes, you read correctly. Instead of whipping out and measuring their schlongs, tech bros in San Francisco are masturbating into cups and then watching their sperm samples race across a lab-engineered racetrack to see whose swimmers are the fastest." This not only sounds ridiculous, but it is entirely bonkers and shows…
One of the greatest monologues of all time from the film Network (1976) and it is almost daunting, how accurate it still is 50 years later. I don't have to tell you things are bad. Everybody knows things are bad. It's a depression. Everybody's out of work or scared of losing their job. The dollar buys a nickel's worth; banks are going bust; shopkeepers keep a gun under the counter; punks are…
Seems that a lot of folks that are pro free speech are there, just so they can spew Nazi bullshit (or any other type of hate speech). This should not even be a topic for discussion. We, collectively as humanity, have experienced how evil can fascist and Nazi ideology be, so why we are arguing that it is OK for a person to say these things? Is it really their right? Shouldn't we all be smarter than…
Recently I have spoken to a guy, no red flags... Then we started to discuss the politics, he has shared this piece of wisdom "There is really no difference in who you are voting for, so I've put SPD there". Seriously? Perhaps this lad should give it another thought as I do not see how there is no difference between SPD and for example Pirate Party. One is against everything that makes us human…
