Yes I believe him, dressed up like a member of The Specials (maybe sax 🎷 player?), and those punk rock skateboarder Vans that he's sporting with the suit.

Even the Sex Pistols were bankrolled merely to showcase their manager Malcolm McLaren's clothing boutique at 430 King's Road in London.

One of my exes was a pre Goth death metal chick with relatively short pink hair and that pasty white corpse like makeup in a different, classy lingerie ensemble everyday of the week ( It helped that she worked at Frederick's on Hollywood Blvd).

If what John Waters is quoted as saying has any weight (and I believe he's spot on) it's that the antisocial movement of the previous decade will be largely found to be insignificant and forgotten because they had no particular and unique fashion sense of their own to remember them by.👋💀

Since you're an author who seems to insist on No DRM (that's a good thing, too), Have you considered:

1. ) Smashwords
2. ) Draft2Digital

I believe these may be the two resources that enable you to deliver your works to the reader at the most affordable prices.

On the other hand, if I'm mistaken and you (or anyone else) knows of better resources that handle publishing & distribution at better price points please do let me know.

Watching #FindingYourRoots tonight, I learned Chef Jose Andres served on the Spanish Naval training ship Juan Sebastián de Elcano.

The program briefly flashed a picture, but I instantly recognized the #TallShip from when it visited Port Canaveral in May of 2013.

Hi Jerry,

I'm glad you asked. Short answer is, instead of losing a relevant percentage of your viewership strictly because they refuse to watch BOTH the ads you yourself include as segments in your videos to promote your paying sponsors, AND the ads that ABC (Google/YouTube) injects midstream through "server-side ad insertion", you can, as the video producer:

- Include copyright/licensing card at the beginning of your videos that use Creative Commons licenses of the *No Derivatives type, superceding anything that Google tries to impose.
- Truncate your videos with prominent links and explanations following a teaser sequence as to how to actually support you as the producer, whether you're monetized or not, by providing them with the links and directing interested viewers to the #FOSS platforms where they can watch the rest of this video uninterrupted along with all your other videos... for free, and without tracking or invasive privacy mining ⛏️ techniques being imposed upon them and included with their video viewing experience.
- You have to be the creator that demands a moral and ethical delivery network that doesn't have your viewers like sheep to a slaughter - which is what you're doing when you are the enabler of evil like Google.

Notwithstanding the fact that most content on open platforms like YouTube is garbage, if you think this is an unworkable business model, then all that means is that you're a lame-o and your videos suck dick because it's the model that works wonderfully for the lions share of producers who actually publish quality material and enjoy huge followings

I hope that helps! Enjoy 🙂

Really now, why do people stubbornly adhere to the belief that Government entities require warrants to determine anything about you - like, where you are at this particular moment or the GPS coordinates of your location last Tuesday at 17:42hrs UTC? ... And pretty much anything else you can dream up about yourself: The content of conversations with others, everything you've purchased at anytime, what you are likely to eat for dinner this coming Friday, your medical records; you name it!

All without a warrant, even for local law enforcement.

And why would they bother, when they can just buy it from the #privacy_mining companies that you already gave it to for free?

About twenty five years ago, we laid out the keels for a new adventure - The Twin Brigantine project, in the parking lot of the #Los_Angeles_Maritime_Institute, next to the #Los_Angeles_Maritime_Museum, in the old ferry building that was, along with a pontoon bridge, obviated by completion of the #Vincent_Thomas_Bridge connecting the mainland to #Terminal_Island.

Up until that time, #LAMI operated and sailed the 70' gaff-rigged topsail schooner, Swift of Ipswitch (previously James Cagney's personal yacht) for it's youth sailing program. It took a few years to complete the Irving and Exy Johnson, sister Brigantine vessels built and outfitted by dozens of volunteers over the duration of the program. At some point, another gaff-rigged schooner was borrowed and enlisted, the136' Bill of Rights filling the need for accommodations of a youth sailing program that had greatly expanded over time, with many ups and downs, achievements and disappointments, but building two square rigger tall ships for and by a non-profit organization dedicated to youth educational programs for the community, a truly novel pursuit, eventually came to a close as a great success.

This photo shows the 113' brigantine Irving Johnson, on 23 March 2005, and which, after less than three years of service, she had run hard aground on a sandbar following several storms that affected local charts, leaving them partially obsolete - in short, on her way into the Channel Islands harbor, well... sadly, the pic speaks for itself.

Another year and two million dollars later to repair structural damages and flooding, the #Irving_Johnson once again joined her sister ship, #Exy_Johnson, in the pursuit of education as #school_ships, something that Irving and his wife Exy (Electa), following no less than 7 circumnavigations together, pioneered and championed in the 20th century aboard their three successive sailing ships - a #schooner, a #brigantine, and a #ketch - each named the #Yankee.

Evil is as evil does.

Even Google, at one point, could not proclaim their tagline, "Don't be evil", because it had become evil itself.

Why.... Yes of course they do - Duh!

Empowered by you to do so.

So what are you complaining about?

i.e., You brought this upon yourself and wanted it to happen - it is what it is and this is the mess you made of it.

Just be happy you got what you wanted 🎅 for 🌲 Christmas ☃️ coz some folks don't have a google to act in their best interests 🦌

@atomicpoet

Why would you do that?

I mean, I remember getting similar requests after posting a pic of a squashed bluejay in the road while commenting on the demise of Twitter, and accordingly, I went back, edited the post, and added the CW for the photo - only because to me it did seem, in review, as being a little over the top.

But here's the rub, if you're honestly comfortable with the post, then why didn't you simply avail yourself of the ample array of tools at your disposal and simply mute those other people?

Chris, you can't live your life through the false sensibilities of others unless you don't place a lot of value upon you being you - they had the opportunity to simply mute you from their streams (or just automatically cw all of your posts) but instead they chose to attempt to shape your freaking conversations by shaming you.

Shame on then for being punk ass whiney little bitches.

You be you my friend, shamelessly and unabashedly so + or pretend to be that which you are not.... but the latter would be a sad commentary.

@fsologureng @onepict @reforestingglens

My 40 acre ranch in the high desert (Mojave desert) was an 🤔 interesting place where water and mineral rights were concerned. Mineral first:

On my property, I had water rights, but not mineral rights. That meant if I prospected and accumulated a few milligrams of gold I could go to prison for s felony. The irony of that was the fact that, being surrounded in three sides by hundreds of square miles of BLM (public) land, I could literally just hop my fence, file a gold claim for a ridiculous pittance (like ten or twenty dollars) with the government, and mine for and keep all the gold I could find.

Now, water was more of a clusterfuck.
I had two wells, and I had piped water from one of the several "water districts" (public utilities operated by locally elected residents of the community with paid staff). One of my wells (the one I installed) was 360' deep (most were less but I was on top of a small mountainous area).

The water districts themselves had monthly meetings, which were so contentious that local citizens would regularly come to fisticuffs and batter each other in combat. On a couple of occasions guns were drawn (yes, it really is the wild west out there in those remote areas). Off duty sheriff's deputies were also hired as security guards at a could of the more contentious districts, and if you were stupid enough to run in an election for water board member fully half of everyone in the district would instantly hate you within a month (competely polarized community on water rights issues).

If you were gullible enough to accept nomination to run for a water board, seat you were then literally a public politician and some Water Board members went to prison for not knowing enough about public disclosure in public agencies (or they were corrupt - or both) for violations of something called, "The Brown Act".

Now, because I had my own wells I didn't need to, or shouldn't have had to, concern myself with those shenanigans, but there long arm of the Los Angeles Department of Water and Power extended a hundred miles out to where I was and indeed, all the way north a thousand miles to almost the Oregan border...

LADWP wanted to construct humongous transmission lines right across the ridge from my ranch, literally devastating the ecosystem, in a project called "The Green Path" (whenever you hear the word green, run - think of ashes and destruction). We were lucky - we beat those powerful bitches back and they had to reroute their plans to someone else's natural habitat.

This was the first environmental and community disaster proposed that i had to deal with - electric transmission from miles away, through my rural community (none of it for us), all the way to Los Angeles, across federally protected BLM land!

But an initiative to divert water (stolen from Mount Shasta and Mono Lake, Etc., in Northern California by LADWP, and now owned by them, pumping that diverted water into our aquifers stepped up the mountain towards Big Bear (like underground egg crates filled up with water that cascade from the mountains and across the desert for) did directly threaten me and anyone else with wells or those with water rights on their properties...

Basically, had that proposal gone through, they would have claimed that at least some portion of the water pumped from my own wells, on my own property, actually belonged to the local water district - water they purchased from the LADWP.

Bullshit, I say, we beat them back too but the challenge to our sovereignty was relentless. Eventually, by hook or by fucking crook, they would get their revenue for things that were not the theirs water boards being both private and public and quasi general bodies, and ask at the same time (really confusing).

Charge me for my own 💦 water? Ummm, "them's fightin' words" to many folks, and in a rural place like that, could've gotten real ugly. People out there don't like government sniffing around their asses and move there to be left alone.

At the time I sold my property out there the LADWP and local water boards were pushing a compromise - those with existing weeks would be exempt through a grandfather clause, and new wells would be subject to monetary assessments for a certain amount per acre feet of water pumped - with water district's meters placed on those wells to measure their consumption.

What would be the point of having your own well in that scenario?

It would be more economical to just pay for piped water (if available) or trucked in water from the water district to your holding tanks every month. They fucking own you now.

That means at some point (but of course), that every property would be subject to this extortion and embezzlement scheme, as it would creep in over the next few decades.

In the 1920's or so, when Mulholland himself pushed through contracts with as many communities and farmers in Northern California as he could, enabling him to steal water from the Owens Valley for Los Angeles a thousand miles to the south - that didn't go so well, and literally started a war, with bombings and guns and the people pitted against law enforcement agencies completely out of their jurisdictions - like union strike buster bullies...

https://www.pbs.org/wgbh/americanexperience/features/flood-desert-california-water-wars-violent/

As we've seen throughout history, you can reign victorious through the strategy of divide and conquer with a little bit of bloodshed from innocents and a lot of fricken' money. You can steal anything you want, subjugate people, lord over them, and eventually find a way to legitimize your criminal conquest.
