Going to suggest that if everything you do for work and leisure and every relationship in your life feels like a burdensome obligation that you would happily outsource to a computer, outsourcing them to a computer is not a good solution to your problems.

“cops should arrest ICE” is a liberal fantasy. “abolish ICE” is not.

Yeah, apparently the song has been used in lots of media over the years, including the end credits of LOGAN. The Wikipedia lists all the uses the song has had. ❤️

The driving rhythm of the song is also a huge part of its appeal for me. It makes it feel like there's no stopping what's to come.

All the Biblical imagery of Jesus (I.e., "the man") coming down to condemn the evil & save the righteous...has a certain appeal at this moment in time, does it not? Of course, we also have the broligarchy trying to bring about Apocalypse now but it feels good to imagine THEM being sent to hell.

Only a few notes are beyond my lower range. That's mostly because Johnny is singing in his upper range, but STILL. 😂

So I finally got to sing along to this tonight at home. Two things: I realized how much of this song is Johnny talking -- there are no notes to sing -- & somehow I can sing in unison with him on most of the notes with there ARE notes.

I first heard the recording of Johnny Cash singing his composition "The Man Comes Around" years ago but since yesterday I've become obsessed with it, listening to it over & over. I can't get enough of it. This tidbit about a dream inspiring Cash to write the song just makes it even better.

The announcement that the Pentagon is going to live stream the firing squad execution of Nidal Malik Hasan needs to be understood in the context of the state-sponsored bloodlust for their chief enemies: Muslims and alleged socialists.

Although "Eclipse Horns" is not specifically for Halloween, it does have a seasonal vibe. www.diffgeom.com/product/post... This year has been bleak, presumably due to exceptionally lean prospects all around. If your organization needs math designs, I'm grateful for consideration. #MathArt #SciArt

This reminds me of a recent conversation I had with @alexhanna.bsky.social about AI and workers, in which Hanna noted that bosses tend to think most feminized work can be automated because they imagine the work as reduced to the task itself and forget the necessary relational aspects.

The "SI" thing is was intended to provoke this exact sort of sniveling response from the courtiers, to train the oligarchs to humiliate themselves for Trump so they'll do it again later when it really matters.
