Hi!
Hi!
Mobile phones aren't necessary, strictly speaking, as anyone who's ever lived without one can attest.
Technology feels like a trap.
The part about how police may now instantly surveil everyone by tracking their mobile phones hit hard.
What countermeasures could thwart this?

Have you heard "In a Lonely Place" by The Smithereens?
That's a good one.

We all know about Trump, but Johnson β Johnson *badly* needs an extended, involuntary stay at an in-patient psychiatric hospital.
And, by "extended", I mean about 10-20 years.
At least.

Interesting.
As psychological effects, both magick and nostalgia may (and do) inspire real, tangible effects β so they're both similarly "real", such as they are. Although they're both not really "true".
So to say.
I understand nostalgia as a psychological effect, based on an affection for inaccurate memories or thoughts.
Likewise, magick is also a psychological effect β specifically, the psychological effects derived from a belief in magic.
If nostalgia is not true, it is certainly real β at least, in the sense that "magick" is real.
Even if magic itself is neither true, nor real.
Artificial is also real.
So, maybe "Irreal Nostalgia"?
Or would that be redundant?
Let's coin a new term: "Artificial Nostalgia"
What do you think?
There was a brief time during the late 1970s-1980s when rock acts would fill arenas or even stadiums β but now is as it was before this time, with bands playing venues like The Knockdown Center in Brooklyn.

We've reached the other side of this bell curve. For sure.

Just read that The Who's legendary Live at Leeds LP (1970) was recorded in the Student Refectory of Leeds University β which is basically a large *cafeteria*β¦ with a *tiny* stage.

I've heard "bird" before (in Britain, mostly) as slang for women, but never "fish" (although I've never been an underground lesbian, nor have I ever been in a position to ask about this sort of thing). TIL.
I think I prefer "bird".
The commercial I linked you to is one of my all-time faves, btw. π
Their best option for this, IMO, is to produce a $40 million hit piece biopic of Trump.
I like your title for this project: "The Unintelligent Toddler", which conforms to the tradition of films titles like "The Conformist", and⦠"The Cremator".
But⦠how about "magick"?
