Vertical Band.
Vertical incarne avec beaucoup de simplicité toute la beauté et la fraîcheur de l'indi pop. La musique de ce groupe emporte l'auditeur dans des paysages légers et passionnés.
La voix se veut mélancolique et chaude et parvient avec douceur à envoûter les oreilles les plus délicates en racontant de belles histoires.
#Listening to Bwarouz, a 2002 album by Danyèl Waro, a maloya musician from the island of La Réunion;
https://danyelwaro.bandcamp.com/album/bwarouz-re-mastered
It reminds me a bit of afrobeat and the berimbau music that accompanies capoeira. A good warm up for WOMAD this weekend.
OMG, I just stumbled upon the best description of US defaultism.
"Americans think non-Americans are the NPCs of the world."

Shocking But Not Surprising Strikes Again (and Again)

"the guy who's lounging around on Formerly Known as #Twitter picking fights & spreading #lies also had a direct line to restore a contract to supply #food to starving children in other parts of the #world. That whether these faraway #children live or die relies on the whims & wandering attention span of such a spectacularly vicious clown is shocking. But not surprising."
Tesla Sales Slump in Europe as Anger Toward Elon Musk Grows
February numbers show the #US electric-car maker is struggling to attract buyers in the region. Musk’s #politics aren’t helping.
https://www.nytimes.com/2025/03/05/business/tesla-germany-sales-elon-musk.html
"highlighted anger at the political activities of #ElonMusk...
Sales of #Tesla cars in #Germany, Europe’s largest market for electric vehicles, dove 76% in February...
Demand for Teslas has also dropped in other #European countries"
Now that the #USA
changed position and joined the #Russians
...
Shouldn't The #European #Union and the other #States of the #Free #World
impose #sanctions on #America ?
(as they impose them on #Russia #Iran #NordKorea ? )
After all, the US has now decided to be part of THEIR team.
Shouldn't the US be treated in the same way ?
(To be added to the retaliating '#tariff' In response to the economic aggression
their leader decided to start. )
>It should be a mandatory step<
Mike Murphy: The Chinese Own Elon
https://www.thebulwark.com/p/mike-murphy-the-chinese-own-elon
"The not-so-shadow president's largest #Tesla plant is in #Shanghai, but the People's Republic of China has the pink slip and can take it back at any time. Meanwhile, #China—the world's largest automaker—is working hard to eat into our car #industry, and #Trump... is happily talking about killing subsidies in the critical #EV market—except for Tesla of course."
Musk said Ebola prevention funding was restored. USAID officials reportedly say otherwise.

"senior USAID official... saying, “There have been no efforts to ‘turn on’ anything in prevention” of #Ebola & other diseases...
Are Musk's many missteps the result of rampant #incompetence, or is #Musk engaged in mis- & #disinformation campaigns intended to deceive the public?"
→ Algorithms are breaking how we think
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QEJpZjg8GuA
“[A]n increasing number of people are so used to algorithmically-generated #feeds that they no longer care to have a self-directed #experience that they are in #control of. [I]t feels like large swaths of people have forgotten to exercise their own #agency. That is what I mean by algorithmic #complacency. More and more people don’t seem to know or #care how to view the #world without a #computer #algorithm guiding what they #see.”
Vietnam paves way for Musk's Starlink, seen as "olive branch" amid US tariff threats
https://www.reuters.com/technology/space/vietnam-paves-way-musks-starlink-seen-olive-branch-amid-us-tariff-threats-2025-02-18/
"Vietnam plans to adopt rules that would allow Elon Musk's #Starlink to provide satellite #internet services in the country...
a sudden shift in stance...
Attempts by #SpaceX to enter #Vietnam... were put on hold in late 2023 after... country declined to lift a ban on foreign control of satellite internet providers"

DOGE & USAID

"We may not be able to stop Chili’s from hurting people, but we can try to stop DOGE."
[Call or write your members of congress and tell them what Elon Musk is doing is unconstitutional and illegal. Ask them to stand up for their constituents and the rule of law.]
→ The one change that worked: I set my phone to ‘do not #disturb’ three years ago – and have never looked back

“I’m probably a #nightmare to get hold of at a moment’s notice – and should never, ever be someone’s In Case of #Emergency, much to my partner’s chagrin – but I’m immeasurably calmer now I’m not perpetually #available to the #world and his #WhatsApp-mad wife.”
Same here. I've also ditched most #apps in favour of their #web version. Best move ever.

→ Mapping the Middles of the United States
https://www.maps.com/mapping-the-middles-geographic-center-us/
“The population center of the US has shifted considerably, moving from the East Coast in 1790 to southern Missouri by 2020.”
“[T]his #map demonstrates how that [middle] concept takes center stage in #geography. Whether by the inescapable march of time or the numerous ways we conceptualize and categorize the #world around us, there’s always more than one way to measure—and map it.”
- A song written
by refugees for refugees -
“Dear God, why should we live
if we cannot take the other into our hearts?
Take with you
the lost hopes,
my soul can no longer bear it”
