NATO should've been dissolved in 1991, coinciding with the dissolution of the Warsaw Pact. Instead, the aggressive NATO military alliance (and global arms dealer) has vastly expanded, pushing us to the brink of terminal nuclear war. #StopWar #StopNATO

“ War itself is a crime “ @vijayprashad you are a hero
After killing, injuring & displacing MILLIONS, many of the same people who lied us into the war in Iraq are still roaming free, promoting more war as the solution to the problems they created. Join us in the streets TOMORROW to say no more endless wars! codepink.org/march18

Top 5 album for me. I still listen all the time and am genuinely blown away every time I spin it. Nirvana was good, Pearl Jam was fine, Alice in Chains was great, but f'n Soundgarden were (and are still) glorious and essential.

Good morning from Berkeley
Ahead of South Africa's case against Israel at the International Court of Justice, I spoke with @andrewfeinstein about our responsibility to speak up for Palestine, for peace and for our shared humanity.
Here’s a quick roundup of highlights from research we published in 2023, on climate change, capitalism, colonialism, degrowth and post-capitalist futures. As always, free PDFs are available via the link at the end of the thread. 🧵
John Pilger's documentaries are historically significant exposés of the cruelty and connivances of US empire, in which he gave voice to resistance movements still struggling for their sovereignty. Films like his 1983 "Nicaragua, a nation's right to survive" inspired my own work,…
Why don't music streaming apps list credits (writers, musicians, producers, engineers, etc)? Itd be easy to do. Someone just has to push for it. It was how I got my music education via records. "I love the bass on this- who played it?" Then get other records w that bass player.
RIP to one of the world's most intrepid, independent and stalwart journalists and documentarians, John Pilger. His long-time anti-imperialism placed him on the international left, but he was refused to be enslaved to them: arguing Hillary was more dangerous than Trump.
It is with great sadness the family of John Pilger announce he died yesterday 30 December 2023 in London aged 84. His journalism and documentaries were celebrated around the world, but to his family he was simply the most amazing and loved Dad, Grandad and partner. Rest In Peace.
@Jeff__Benjamin @maddala @stereogum Great article .Thank u💜💜
@stereogum @maddala It's the Ab for me too😂 Very thought-provoking points about the harmonic vs sound design productions and what seems to be marketable and "modern" to a Western audience... a simple tweet isn't long enough to discuss all the points, but that was a great read!🙏🏾 thank you @maddala
@maddala @stereogum Great article/breakdown of the song. The 1st time I heard SNTY I immediately googled it to see if Nile Rodgers had a hand in this song. It has that familiarity to me.
A four time Emmy-winning composer, Vivek Maddala said that, he wouldn’t be surprised if “Standing Next To You” turns out to be the only single in the history of the Billboard to have this music value & questioned why doesn’t mainstream Western pop emphasize this in the same way.
