It does seem that way. Maybe it’s nothing more than another engagement tactic to generate views / comments?!

A very good friend of mine who is usually sound of mind is on this too and I’m dismayed. He was a Covid denier as well. Unfortunately seems to be swallowing the conspiracy theories that are all over the socials. Really sad

My brother has fallen down the conspiracy rabbit hole thanks to TikTok & X. We’ve essentially had to cut off contact as he can’t even really speak casually without regurgitating this stuff. Started with transphobia / covid denialism and then Brigitte Macron and antisemitic conspiracies regarding the war on Iran. It’s bonkers. I think of it as a sort of spiteful Gnosticism. Secret knowledge and actors with a kind of willful mendacity. Very sad state of things.

Honestly it just showed how spoiled I’ve been with gigs the last 5 years or so. First bad one in ages and I’ll heed your advice for the next one. Boston is a very tough town, people aren’t looking to go too deep.

Have developed a pathological hatred of Linkedin over the last 3 years. The spammers and scammers, the fake or elusive jobs, the trite motivational slogans, the absolute pointlessness of it all.

… why all records can’t all have either “side 1/2” or “Side A/B” printed on the label.
Two of my favourite instrumental albums, Floating Points “Promises” and Mogwai “Atomic” (a double album) have no obvious identification marks on the record. Resorting to hoping for the best regarding which side to play first (hopefully somebody on here will point out where i’m going wrong regarding this, and that it’s actually pretty obvious).

There are a lot of retired guys still using the platform for personal shite and right-wing hate nonsense. Probably been banned from every other platform for their nonsense and LinkedIn doesn’t seem the quickest to drop the old ban hammer.

sometimes you can find an A or B in the runout where it’s been scratched or added by the person cutting the record. you might need to look with a light/tilt the record a certain way to find these marks.

Linkedin is one of the most putrid reflections of neoliberalism.

Already seeing stuff on the usual sewers about how this is an artificial crisis that has been engineered by Starmer to force people on to public transport, while also creating travel restrictions to prevent groups associating.
Same sort of fringe lunacy that was circulating about the (perceived) dystopian horror that is a “15 minute city.”
The major flaw in this theory is that to run a totalitarian dictatorship you need some sort of competency, this is something that the current Labour government has struggled with.

When twitter/X went full on right wing loons lots of academics moved to LinkedIn and boy do academics love being “delighted” to announce anything and everything. The only thing I really like about LinkedIn is that it shows just how many knobheads there are in every job.

i am super tired of people calling other people/things GOATs. i know it’s supposed to be a cute acronym, but i’m done with it. it’s dumb, and if you’ve ever been around real goats, you know that they are cool but will eventually piss you off.
in fact, i’m tired of any sort of “greatest of all time” discussion. we can’t we be in awe of greatness, why does everything have to be stack ranked and why do we need consensus on who’s at the top?

I agree entirely with this. There are some “GOATS” in dance music who I find so boring that I can’t even type their names here for fear of the repercussions.
Maybe there’s a finer line between goats and sacred cows than we realise! Me, I like the odd turkey thrown into the mix for good measure.

Yeah exactly . Nice words for shittiness of modern living. Where costs go up 20% year on year but salaries have remained static for twenty years
