There’s still some independent artists that make music for people instead of algorithms and they’re usually on the non evil side of issues. Adeem the Artist, Jason dea West, Sierra Ferrell 150

Banjo @banjomal.bsky.social · 26/09/2026A lot of the work is going to be education based. The decades of underfunding and politicization of our education system has left people without a solid foundation of the work previous generations have put in to move us forward. A lot of that will have to be reproduced. 000
Banjo @banjomal.bsky.social · 22/09/2026The Republican Party in its current form exists to drag us into Corporatism and the Democratic Party in its current form exists to co opt and neuter any leftist movement gaining steam. They are allies in our rightward march to technofascism. I still dream of freedom but neither side supports it. 020

If you believe in an omnipresent God, then sunsets are one of God's intentional creations, which means that the beautiful colors refracting through the darkling sky were *chosen* to produce that effect. 214842

Taxpayer funds were misappropriated for political activities. Now taxpayers shelled out nearly $200K for a DeSantis aide’s lawyers. #Angie4FL 10962255
Banjo @banjomal.bsky.social · 19/09/2026We really need a world without billionaires. If everyone tomorrow just agreed to stop believing these people owned everything under the sun it would solve a lot of problems. Not all of them, but a significant amount percentage of problems. 000

Banjo @banjomal.bsky.social · 27/08/2026It’s less visible in states like Florida and Texas because they just have the state and local cops do all the groundwork for them. 040

Thiel, Zuckerberg and Musk are all guilty of treason by any reasonable definition. 872635466
Banjo @banjomal.bsky.social · 18/08/2026I learned that people actually love surveillance tech as long as it’s pointed at someone they don’t approve of. 151
Banjo @banjomal.bsky.social · 18/08/2026Maybe I missed something. Honestly the sheer magnitude of horror in the world right now is getting hard to handle 000
Banjo @banjomal.bsky.social · 18/08/2026It’s truly depressing how many people just dive into trash talking a woman’s appearance at the first chance across all political spectrums. I hope one day we can all be better. 100
Banjo @banjomal.bsky.social · 17/08/2026I don’t know what the answer is but it’s not fundraising emails or clinging to decorum. It’s not focus group tested messaging. It will involve taking risks and courageous action. Maybe even something that offends the donor class 010
Banjo @banjomal.bsky.social · 17/08/2026This!! Fight like the existence of this democracy depends on it because it does. 1333
Banjo @banjomal.bsky.social · 17/08/2026Well they’ve apparently bled their donor base dry so he’s pivoting to fascism with manners. 000
Banjo @banjomal.bsky.social · 16/08/2026I think conservatism is inherently anti-curious. All of these fields require investigation of some form. 010
Banjo @banjomal.bsky.social · 14/08/2026I’m just generally against surveillance technology. Apparently a lot of people disagree. I think it’s a slippery slope. 100
Banjo @banjomal.bsky.social · 14/08/2026I don’t speed. I take vehicle safety seriously. I also don’t like giving more tools to the state. They are inevitably abused. 200
Banjo @banjomal.bsky.social · 14/08/2026No. I’m pretty much against mass surveillance everywhere. My 5mph comment came from people in my old hometown who were getting tickets for 5 over after they installed a camera. I don’t like American car culture, speeding, or monetary penalties for crimes or the state tracking people. 000
Banjo @banjomal.bsky.social · 14/08/2026This is an absurd take. Someone going 5 miles over the speed limit is not a violent criminal. And it does not make the owner of the car guilty of speeding. Just say you’d prefer to live in a surveillance state if that’s where you’re at. 110
Banjo @banjomal.bsky.social · 14/08/2026That makes the evidence hearsay. It also doesn’t address the presumption of guilt problem. It puts the burden of proof on the registered owner to prove they weren’t driving if someone else borrowed their car. 310
Banjo @banjomal.bsky.social · 14/08/2026The state didn’t witness the crime and you can’t cross examine a machine. 310
Banjo @banjomal.bsky.social · 14/08/2026So who is the accuser in this situation? I know the constitution has gone out of style but it is the basis of law in this land. And to get ahead of it, I drive like a grandpa. Speed limit to 5 under 110
Banjo @banjomal.bsky.social · 14/08/2026Speeding cameras seem to go against the confrontation clause of the 6th amendment. Who is the accuser and how can one confront them? Second, if someone else is driving your car, it leads to false accusations. They’re just a cash grab by municipalities and an excuse to expand the surveillance state. 570
Banjo @banjomal.bsky.social · 13/08/2026There’s a risk that people will never be offered the real stuff because so many of the tools used to access cultural products are ai-algorithm recommendation based. And they will always show you the safest choice. 000
