I just left a message for Sen. Angus King to ask him to vote No on today's cloture vote and against the GOP House's Continuing Resolution to keep the government funded past midnight. (Susan Collins is a lost cause.) His DC mailbox is full, but Mainers can leave a message at the Portland office at (207) 245-1565. With any luck, he'll get the message. Even if he doesn't, it's a good idea to make your voice heard. #Politics ##Democracy #Democrats #Independent #Maine #US #USpol

Testing of the Arrow, early testing, included firing models of the plane out across Lake Ontario to gauge flight stability.

One of those models was apparently found at the bottom of the lake, years later as well.

Canada has to dig its history out of some hidden and hard to reach places.

Maybe we build a new Arrow.

Even though we can observe a 180° turn done by the #USA in attitude to #Ukraine, we should not give in. #Europe must be #independent. We must not rely on #America, because their administrations from now on are unreliable. During hard times like now, the #EU must stay #united. Europe must be a country capable of competing with other hostile empires like #China. We are #European, we have only #oneEurope. #EuropeanArmy now, #federaliseEurope then.

"The tune itself has a pleasing simplicity which belies its polite insistence and hypnotic qualities, the various refrains weaving a rich, thoughtful tapestry that grows on you with repeated listens"

maybe just me, but the feed seems awfully quiet on the "bandcamp(c)(tm)(r) friday" front.
which means there should be plenty of oxygen in the room for my own suggestions :P

granted, the world is burning , and simultaneously flooding, and we got measles and an all-you-can-infect flu buffet going on. but in these times, its important to remember that what we *can* still do for others matters.
supporting one another and making the days a little less painful is important. think of the last time someone made you smile or laugh in spite of the trauma that is our every day lives.
also, i think absolute good is often characterized by being two ways. when you do real good, you make someone else happier and yourself happier.
so if you like the music an artist is making, throw them a $1 or $2. their music makes you happy and your support will make their day.

so if any of you are you interested in #ambient #soundscapes with a healthy dose of #noise but often times weaving a solid #rhythmic section in and out of that fabric... i would highly recommend you check out my comrade @rybson . you can grab music and support them at their bandcamp:
xymmusic.bandcamp.com/
been studying a ton of stuff this week, and "lofi microtonal beats to avoid brain damage to" as well as the album "gomi 三" have made for an excellent study soundtrack.

if you would like something less abstract, but more #techno #industrial #ebm #dance oriented while very explicitly attacking the powers that be and being driven by the wildest (i mean, seriously, the fucking wildest) #drum #beats doused in just the right amount of #distortion you need to check out my other comrade, @controlfreak
music.control.org/
anything you can contribute to him would be greatly appreciated by me personally so that we can crowdfund the making of his next masterpiece :D

or you know support someone you care about it. even small amounts. our power lies in our numbers and the quality of our interactions. we don't need the corpos, we don't need a special day or a branded campaign brought to you by roland, or us bank.

take care of another and stay radical.

'On February 24th, 2025, the Arabic Independent Music Archive (AIMA) officially launched its digital platform at the Goethe Institute in Cairo, marking a significant step toward documenting and preserving the independent music scenes across the Arab world.'
