Merlin Sheldrake reading his Entangled Life is one I’ve listened to numerous times. Delightful, educating. Always uplifting.
His pace is a little slow, so I listen to him at 1.10 or 1.15 speed.
That said, the content carries better with his voice as it is his experiences he’s written about. And he’s a decent musician
Understood & I hear you. Some people’s voices, candor and pace can put me right off listening, make me want the words without their voice. Unfortunately, with a well voiced & read book, I’ll listen far longer than I can bring myself to focus on actual reading. Though reading the words makes them stick in memory differently, mostly better, than listening for me.
AI readings are demonstrably terrible.
More butchery of the English language I’ve never heard.
I save & use all my vinegars (some for drinks!)
I worked a number of punk & blues shows at Elks (Portland & surrounding Northwest).
One that will always love in heart & memory: Polkacide! Hardcore 2/4
They rolled up from California & played a gathering at the Elks Lodge. Perfect size & Elks are always ready for & expecting drunks. Thankfully, none of the shows had drunken outbursts. People are just happy to see the bands they love at their neighborhoods grandpa’s lounge
If you’re renting the place, you sell tickets however you like. Just pay the Lodge for rented time.
I’ve no problem with that, either.
Because Putin & Murdoch hate democracy & know new age warfare: troll social media, market fake news.
With a tiny troll army: Created a party of snowflakes that calls everybody else snowflakes.
Streaming endless propaganda (Fake News: Fox, Alex Jones etc)
Absolut ja
It made me grin. And then get defensive: am I listening to too much Bauhaus? When is too much?
Though I actually listen to them rarely. They’re just imprinted on my mind. Probably play their songs on guitar & bass more than listen to them.
Next time they’re touring…
As some of my myco-heroes (Stamets & Sheldrake) have mentioned, there were no mycology departments or colleges at universities. In many, there still aren’t.
Writers, mycologists may have felt like stepping up & speaking truth about classification (at times, a scientific bureaucratic nightmare) was not the fight they wished to pursue over sharing knowledge they’ve learned about fungus (no bureaucratic dealings!)
Sounds like a mental issue.
So … No guns for law enforcement.
Good. About time. So much good they did in Uvalde.
WTF is ‘too much Bauhaus?’
Kick in the eye, I tell you.
Take care, you may start lichen-ing
Sweet!
Cops without guns is a giant leap forward for America!

Disrupted, yes.
Dismantled? Not bloody likely. Believe it when I see it.
