Trump will inevitably claim Monday’s temporary truce in the US-China trade war as a victory, but financial markets seem to have read it for what it is – a capitulation.

Two things!
1st: New track #release: "Goin' Mirlo".
- mirlo.space/die-nmi/release/va…
Why is that?
2nd: Because I moved most of my stuff away from #Soundcloud today. This company is now feeding my work to unspecified AI companies, and no. I am sick of doing free creative commons for company suckers. I do music for humans. Not for AI. So good bye, soundcloud.
What remains there is an #antifa track (can't be wrong to train AIs to be anti fascist), an old noisy track of mine from 1989, and this one. To cut deeply into their flesh or so 😀
I can only recommend to do that to other musicians as well, as long as you don't want to have strange AI clones of your music around (but without your spirit) and other people making money out of it.
If you move away, try to stay away from shady dark patterns infested "upload your music" services.
Personally I've decided to move from Soundcloud to #Mirlo Space (hence the title) - here are those guys: @mirlo@musician.social . I've watched them for almost a year trying to enable something different, something cooperative style for and together with musicians and not for some companies sake. Trust takes time, and I think I can trust the Mirlo gang now ;) .
You still have other options in case you wanna move away from Soundcloud – a complete other model would be i.E. self hosting your #music with something as cool as #faircamp . Just don't stumble into the fangs of the next musicians spirits sucking company, doing this not for your benefit but for their shareholders. That won't go well. Never unfortunately.

L'immagine mostra una vista panoramica di un paesaggio montano. In primo piano, si vede una valle verde con un piccolo villaggio, caratterizzato da edifici sparsi e strade che si snodano tra le colline. La vegetazione è fitta, con alberi che coprono gran parte delle pendici. In lontananza, si ergono imponenti montagne con cime rocciose e sporgenti, che si stagliano contro un cielo parzialmente nuvoloso. Le nuvole sono dense e bianche, con alcune aree di cielo blu visibili tra di esse. La luce del sole illumina parzialmente il paesaggio, creando un contrasto tra le zone illuminate e quelle in ombra. L'atmosfera è serena e suggestiva, con un senso di vastità e bellezza naturale.

This season of #andor sets aside childish things, and brings great writing, acting, and cinematography to #starwars in a way that the universe has always deserved and rarely gotten.
If you're not watching it, this is some of the best TV I've ever seen. I enjoy a lot of Star Wars, and do so understanding that most of it is fun and somewhat lighthearted in a very dystopian world.
Eric Geller has an amazing 11000 word analysis of this week's 3 episodes of #Andor.

From the archives in 2023: As a Christian, I find it repugnant to see the loving, peaceable teachings of Jesus distorted over and over. Worse, reporters often let conservative Christians get away with speaking for all believers.
