I gotta say..

..it's pretty damn disgusting how the US gov is trying to make "a deal" with Ghislaine Maxwell in trade for more information while she's in prison for one of the most gruesome crimes

Somehow I have a feeling they're gonna allow her to say whatever Trump wants her to say and she gets a pardon from him afterwards

If that's gonna be the outcome the US has lost all credibility or what's left anyways and it's not much if any

I've been saying for years that the US "empire" is in freefall. Looks like they're going to reach rock bottom sooner than I thought.

Pretty obvious this is a settup to make tRUMP look clean of the scandal. LOCK HIM UP!


I can't tempt the good folks of Mastodon with solidarity because this week, it's an all-Bluesky Other People's Music! Now while that shouldn't scare you off -- it's an excellent set of music in a diverse set of genres from post-punk indie pop to lo-fi IDM! --I do hope it inspires some Masto musos to submit to future installments (after you read and enjoy this one).

@teledyn I would cover this, but it'd have to be hosted in a different way (ideally embeddable). Post has details, or you can ask if you aren't sure what might work.
in reply to Ether Diver

We post on ActivityPub for exactly that reason! open access, players embedded, and one can download trivially, but whatever ☺️
in reply to teledyn 𓂀

@teledyn I hear that, but:

I can't get the embed to work on Wordpress...just puts a big box that says "Play on Mastodon" which...a link will do that, that is not a proper embed. Am I missing something?

in reply to Ether Diver

Thank you for asking!

Do you prefer electronica?

YouTube or BandCamp?

in reply to Mags at Large

@maggiemartin My personal taste runs electronic but I cover everything.

Bandcamp is better because people can pay you easily.

It is followers only, so give me a follow back if you are interested.

More details here if you want them:

@maggiemartin Great! I am going to ask you to pick one for me to cover tho! I'd prefer to make sure I cover the one you'd most like to see get the spotlight.
in reply to Ether Diver

Oh gosh. That's hard. Depending on your audience ...

Atmospheric, big synth sounds, cinematic: themadmaggies.bandcamp.com/tra…

Modern, odd-metered and includes accordion: themadmaggies.bandcamp.com/tra…

Rhythmic and synth-forward: themadmaggies.bandcamp.com/tra…

in reply to Mags at Large

@maggiemartin My audience is all over the place! I can pick one of those, or you can. LMK
in reply to Ether Diver

Your choice. You know best what will work with any playlist you're fashioning 😀.
in reply to Ether Diver

Jeez. That makes it harder

Prob should stay current then. Howsabout this one?
One of my favs.

I watched The Last Showgirl, the one with Pamela Anderson in it, and it was spectacularly average.

I'm not entirely sure what's actually so interesting about a Vegas Showgirl performance coming to an end. It just doesn't seem all that interesting a subject to me.

The main character is suppose to be a bit tragic, I think, but Anderson isn't really good enough at acting to make the character feel particularly deep.

The dialogue sounded too scripted, and not really realistic dialogue, and the story and themes were quite obvious, nothing special.

None of the performances were that good, and I that's partly because the actors didn't have much to work with.

I mean, it's OK, it's just not something I'd care to ever see again. It felt like the beginnings of a script that needed a bit of work and after a few rewrites might turn out to be a great script.

But I'm not entirely sure it's a story that really needs telling.

Russian sources have released footage of another Iskander missile strike with a cluster warhead targeting a Ukrainian training ground in Chernihiv region. Recon drone video shows no personnel in the open, suggesting Ukrainian troops likely took shelter before impact.

Commander Syrsky recently forbade Ukrainian troops from gathering in large groups.
