Makes perfect sense that this would happen - modern art was the original shitcoin.
It crashed for me too.
So far, perusing global with Amethyst Unleashed I'm not seeing any spam, LESS pornography than usual (lol) and a bunch more Mostr content.
Never mind - closing the app and restarting after the first login did the trick.
Amethyst Unleashed says it's connected to 19 relays yet when I try to check which ones they are, it only lists the six that I have saved. So what are the other 13 and how do I get rid of them?
Addiction to the news cycle is as destructive as addiction to pornography.
I've only given him a brief listen. He didn't do much for me at the time but I should probably revisit.
Like rats fleeing a sinking ship.
Point blank, too. Still hurts.
Don't need to - I keep all mine in a text document called "seed phrases" in my Google Drive which I'm constantly logged into on multiple devices.
Just got shot in the face with a Nerf gun while waxing lyrical about Sun Ra. Such is my life.
It seems to be a by-product of the fact that no one really OWNS a company any more. Lots of people profit from it but no one has any real stake in its long term survival - and there are plenty of ways to make a profit at the end of the day. Simply selling quality products is so old fashioned.
In an odd and beautiful way, the earliest strains of jazz, along with the restless creative impulse which birthed them, lived on in the works of Sun Ra. Thankfully his singular weirdness has always alienated (lol) respectable jazz scholars like Stanley Crouch, leaving Ra for the schizos and potheads - you know, the REAL jazz fans.
His stuff ranges from big band exotica to cosmic noise across more than a hundred albums. This one is a near-perfect piece of late-night listening from the 1970s, that glorious era where the rest of the jazz world almost caught up to him.

Lol, after a couple of months of posting prog, synth, jazz and noise, YouTube thinks I want to listen to Tool.
Your point about real estate makes a lot of sense. Obviously there are a lot of true believers out there but you have to assume it's all get shut down quick smart if someone wasn't making money.
The universities definitely have a lot to answer for, but the pseudo soviet structure than most corporations are based on facilitates all this as well since most people who actually work within the organisation are concerned with personal power and identity politics is the best way to rise up the ranks.
And I agree strongly with your final point - the war against populism is the main driver behind everything we've seen since the Occupy/Tea Party movements and it's gone into overdrive since 2016.
You're lucky. I'm reading Harry Potter number 4 to my kids at the moment and don't know how much more I can take but the books just get longer and longer from here.
