We subsidize things we want more of. We need more clean energy. We should provide support to clean energy until there are zero emissions, period. A nice thing about the Biden-Harris climate laws is they support clean electricity for 10 years, but continue until the electricity grid is 75% cleaner.

From the Album: Ill Communication..
Meaning of Sabrosa by Beastie Boys

The Beastie Boys' instrumental track titled 'Sabrosa' is a unique and captivating piece of music that deserves attention and analysis. While it may lack lyrics, it is still able to communicate powerful emotions and convey a multitude of themes. Through its expertly crafted soundscape, 'Sabrosa' takes listeners on a journey through various sonic landscapes, leaving room for individual interpretation and reflection.One theme that resonates throughout 'Sabrosa' is the idea of exploration and adventure. The music transports us to unknown territories, evoking a sense of curiosity and excitement. It invites us to embark on a sonic expedition and encourages us to be open to new experiences.In this musical exploration, certain standout lyrics emerge despite their absence. They silently weave themselves into the fabric of the composition, allowing us to delve deeper into its themes. One such invisible lyric is the idea of progression and growth. As the music evolves and transforms, it signifies the growth and development of the listener's own journey.Another hidden lyric found in 'Sabrosa' is the concept of introspection and self-discovery. The absence of words allows us to reflect on our inner selves, encouraging us to search for meaning and understanding in the spaces between the notes. It prompts us to ponder our own existence and learn more about who we truly are.Additionally, the transformative nature of the song presents an opportunity to explore the concept of time and change. As the composition unfolds, it takes us through different moods and emotions, symbolizing the passage of time. It teaches us the importance of embracing change and embracing the idea that life is a constant cycle of evolution and adaptation.Furthermore, 'Sabrosa' contains an intriguing theme of interconnectedness and unity, creating a sense of harmony among diverse elements of sound. It reminds us that despite our differences, we are all part of a larger whole, existing in a complex and interconnected world.The song's inherent atmospheric quality invites us to delve into a meditative state and contemplate the beauty of the present moment. It encourages us to pause, breathe, and be fully present in the soundscape. Through its intricate layers of sound, 'Sabrosa' ignites a sense of peace and serenity within us, reminding us of the simple joy that can be found in the present moment.Ultimately, the overarching theme of 'Sabrosa' is the power of music itself. It is a celebration of the art form's ability to evoke emotions, convey messages, and provide a space for personal interpretation and reflection. It invites us to let go of preconceived notions, surrender to the music, and allow it to guide our journey of self-discovery and growth.In conclusion, even without explicit lyrics, 'Sabrosa' proves to be a rich and thought-provoking musical composition. Its themes of exploration, progression, introspection, interconnectedness, and the power of music itself intertwine to create a compelling and immersive listening experience. So, the next time you find yourself immersed in the sounds of 'Sabrosa,' take a moment to listen deeply and let it transport you to a realm of imagination and self-discovery.

"... Democrats are in a much better place than they were a few weeks ago. I’m especially seeing this in the normies around me. A lot of the more politically engaged in my family and friend group were reluctant to replace Biden. But the less politically engaged were absolutely not excited about the election. They were going to vote, but they would be voting against Trump.

That’s changed, markedly. "

When I wrote “The Despot’s Apprentice” in 2017, I was called an alarmist, as fellow experts on authoritarianism issuing warnings were dismissed as engaging in hyperbole. I mean the guy is spelling it out repeatedly, and he has tried to steal an election. What else do you need?

Trump: You have to get out and vote. You won’t have to do it anymore. Four years, it will be fixed, it will be fine. You won’t have to vote anymore. In four years you won’t have to vote again.


We have recognized that defunding and/or "reformation" is insufficient, and many of us have even come to the conclusion that the police are not even here to "protect and serve" the people, but to protect the property and serve the interests of the wealthy.

We saw cops tackle an elderly man to the ground in Texas and do worse to students.

Across the US, plans are being made (or started carrying-out) to make "cop cities" (the ATL one over needed forest land), and this is a bipartisan effort.

Let me recommend this thread by @HeavenlyPossum on how nonstate societies maintained fairness and justice (without a monopoly on violence):

https://kolektiva.social/@HeavenlyPossum/110683095773219652

@thiswomanswerk

How, I’ve been asked, do people in nonstate societies prevent bad guys from taking over?

It’s a bit of question begging: it presumes that the state (bad guys who have taken over) is required to prevent other bad guys from taking over.

But let’s take a serious look at *some* of the scholarship on how and why nonstate societies aren’t quite as vulnerable to this as people seem to commonly assume.

This is neither exhaustive nor comprehensive.

Fabio G. mastodon (AP)
The “monopoly on violence” idea is an after-the-fact justification for an institution whose origins are not in maintaining fairness and justice, but in protecting the interests of the wealthy.

It is also clearly not reflected in reality. Private violence exists everywhere despite the presence of police (because police isn't intended to prevent private violence).
