Seriously! So nice to not have to run the AC anymore

Agreed, and wow that’s awesome about the GZA show!

I saw the whole Wu-tang crew and Rage Against the Machine on that ill-fated ‘97 tour when I was 12.

Wu-Tang Forever had just dropped and Evil Empire came out the year before. Needless to say they were my two favorite groups at the time so that concert was one of the best of my life.

My parents somehow let my brothers and me take the train to the other side of town to see it.

Just picture a pre-pubescent kid getting thrown around like a rag doll in a wild mosh pit, and being offered blunts by fully grown adults lol

Fiat AF

Yea I’d probably put GZA and Meth a tad higher. Liquid Swords by GZA is an all time album and Meth’s first few were classics. Only built for Cuban Linxs was another mainstay in our stereo.

‘From the streets of shaolin’ is a great book that tells their full story and backstory of each album.

Well worth reading/listening to

Haha yea I was going down memory lane with some buddies the other day, and said if I came across the 20 year old version of myself I’d probably want to murder him

One of my clients helped start the festival way back when so he gives us wristbands every year.

They sold to Live Nation a few years ago and I think one of the stipulations in the contract was they would have an area for their people to have unlimited booze and a lounge area 😂

First night of ACL!

Every year it feels like a new building or two are added to the skyline

#grownostr #music

Will have to look into it

😂

Haha. Man I’ve seen some golden and hilarious stickers in small town Idaho shop windows. There was one about them not wanting wolf loving, tree hugging, etc people in their business. I have a photo of the rest of what it said on a hard drive that I may need to dig out

Yep now is the time to get ready on the personal level.

Gradually then suddenly is what this chart says to me

Yep Mariana Mazzucato.

We don’t need these people “to deliver on” anything, we good https://video.nostr.build/b845d626b4f29b0601985071ba8e5d8899a4087cf2c0e03e7e4a75970b51ea55.mov

As we move from September into October I finally asked myself why the months named after 7 and 8 are actually the ninth and tenth months.

Were there originally 10 months?

My government school education never taught me this, so I’ll share in case anyone else is unaware…

The Roman calendar, a complicated lunar calendar, had 12 months like our current calendar, but only 10 of the months had formal names. Basically, winter was a “dead” period when the government and military weren’t active, so they only had names for the time we think of as March through December.

March (Martius) was named for Mars, the god of war, because this was the month when active military campaigns resumed. May (Maius) and June (Junius) were also named for goddesses: Maia and Juno. April (Aprilis) is thought to stem from the Latin aperio, meaning “to open”—a reference to the opening buds of springtime. The rest of the months were numbered; their original names in Latin meant the fifth (Quintilis), sixth (Sextilis), seventh (September), eighth (October), ninth (November), and tenth (December) month.

Eventually, January (Januarius) and February (Februarius) were added to the end of the year, giving all 12 months proper names. January was named after Janus, the Roman god of beginnings and transitions. February’s name is believed to stem from Februa, an ancient festival dedicated to ritual springtime cleaning and washing.

Julian Calendar Updates:

When Julius Caesar became Pontifex Maximus, he reformed the Roman calendar so that the 12 months were based on Earth’s revolutions around the Sun. It was a solar calendar, as we have today. January and February were moved to the front of the year, and leap years were introduced to keep the calendar year lined up with the solar yearThe winter months (January and February) remained a time of reflection, peace, new beginnings, and purification. After Caesar’s death, the month Quintilis was renamed July in honor of Julius Caesar in 44 BC, and later, Sextilis was renamed August in honor of Roman Emperor Augustus in 8 BC.

Of course, all the renaming and reorganizing meant that some of the months’ names no longer agreed with their position in the calendar (September to December, for example). Later emperors tried to name various months after themselves, but those changes did not outlive them!

Little bonus TIL is the origin of the names of the days which are somewhat obvious especially if you speak any of the Romance languages..

In Saxon:

1. Sunnandaeg (Sun’s day. Day of Sun)

2. Monandaeg (Moon’s day. Day of Moon.)

3. Tiwesdaeg (Tiw’s day. Tiw was an Anglo-Saxon god of war.)

4. Wodnesdaeg (Woden was the Anglo-Saxon king of the gods.)

5. Thursdaeg (Thor’s day. Thor was a Norse god of thunder, lightning, and storms.)

6. Frigedaeg (Frigga’s day. Frigg was a Norse goddess of home, marriage, and fertility.)

7. Saeterndaeg (Saturn’s day. Saturn was an ancient Roman god of fun and feasting.

In Latin:

1. Dies Solis, "day of the Sun"

2. Dies Lunae, "day of the Moon"

3. Dies Martis, "day of Mars" (Roman god of war)

4. Dies Mercurii, "day of Mercury" (Roman messenger of the gods and god of commerce, travel, thievery, eloquence, and science.)

5. Dies Iovis, "day of Jupiter" (Roman god who created thunder and lightning; patron of the  Roman state)

6. Dies Veneris, "day of Venus" (Roman goddess of love and beauty)

7. Dies Saturni, "day of Saturn" (Roman god of agriculture)

I guess I have been subconsciously thinking about the #RomanEmpire 😂

You called it.

Guess everyone can pack it up early and spare us all the “most important election of all time” nonsense. RFK will get the 10% that could’ve won it for the republicans and we get Biden’s corpse and whoever his inept VP is.

Moving forward expect more of the same policies (and probably worse) and be prepared for that.

I always hear your voice in the back of my head saying “what are you doing today to build liberty into your own life?” (or something close to that lol). Let’s just all focus on that I reckon

Never used cornstalks but I just did a batch with a lot of dried chunky sunflower stalks and they worked well

🤷‍♂️ received zaps from a few others, no worries. Glad some people are seeing the post

One soul at a time :)

That’s a pretty special area! Hope you enjoy if you’re there right now.

I loved exploring the random rock dwellings, underground cities and hoodoos. Didn’t go up in the balloons but friends did and loved it

Guys, how do we recognize and outmaneuver the great resetters’ plans for the world?

A lot of people would probably answer that with move to the country, #homestead and buy #Bitcoin.

But I think sadly that will most likely not be enough.

The 4th Industrial Revolution will only impact those in 15 minute SMART cities, right? NO! This impacts everyone.

The amount of “comprehensive plans” for small towns and rural counties that are being rolled out is staggering.

“They” are manipulating Land Use, Zoning and Transport Policies in boring meetings that busy/distracted citizens don’t attend all across the country (and probably the world for all I know)

In Urban settings the language is easy to spot with lots of ESG verbiage.

In rural areas intentions are hidden behind phrases like “maintaining small town charm, protecting rural character, cultural heritage, etc.” They don’t use a lot of the typical buzzwords but it’s the same agenda.

I feel like spotting the language patterns is the key to awareness. Lots of good concepts have been co-opted and used against us for buy-in to these plans. Words like resilient, inclusive, sustainable that I valued in the past are now red flags.

I’m going to list some others that I’ve learned from Julianne Romanello who’s up in Oklahoma spreading awareness in local presentations and her YT Hearts Over Hexagons

Hopefully if y’all see/hear any of these in local proposals near you your hackles will go up and you can mindfully resist.. feel free to add any that I missed lol:

-Social Inclusion

-Impact Investing

-Stakeholder Capitalism

-Public/Private Partnership

-#SDGs- creating “true value”

-Reimagining (insert anything)

-Quality of Life

-Balancing Values

-(Insert anything) For The Future

-Vision Statement

-Shared Vision for the Future 🤦‍♂️

-Placemaking Strategies (especially for small towns & tourism)

-6G. Lifi over wifi

-Multi-Modal Green Design

-Spatial, Institutional, and Financial Decisions

-New Urban Agenda. Cognitive Cities

-Onward (insert town/county name)

-Smart Growth. Managed Growth

-What gets measured gets managed

-Protect & Preserve

-Prosperity for All

-Natural Resource Conservation

-Healthy, Prosperous, Resilient Places

-Communitarism- Common Good. Balancing individual rights with the needs of the community

-Community, Community, Community. Did I mention Community?

-Foreign Trade Zones, HUB Zones, New Market Tax Credits

-P20 Pipeline in Education

-#NIEO, 30 by 30, #4IR, #ICT

-“Grassroots” anything is almost always the opposite

And I’ll include her list of top 10 buzzwords. There are so many in this 🤡🌎

Hopefully this is useful to someone out there✌️
