    And he is silent about Xi Jinping. And about the corruption and dictatorship in Cameroon. But he isn't silent on Donald Trump. I definitely have a problem with this. We can do this over just about any issue not related to the position of being Mayor in New York. It is a smear campaign, which...

    He is running for Mayor. Mayor. They are trying to weaponize the issue of Hamas and Israel against him because his policies are very popular. To refuse to participate in it exactly what he should do.

    Pretty sure the studio was pretty damn goo towards the end. But same as with Yngwie Malmsteen and his really expensive home studio, you also need somebody with a great set of ears and skills to make the best of it, and that somebody is not Tony Newton and not Steve Harris.

    I don't think Jer is saying you should give him moral credit. But yes, the Trump administration did something good here. It doesn't equalize things, but fact remains that the Trump administration put serious energy into this, regardless of its motivations to do so, and may have succeeded in one...

    Small skirmishes might well stay that and may be primarily playing for internal politics of the respective sides. We'll see.

    Yes, the Trump administration hopefully didsomething real good here, unless it falls apart during the implementation or in the aftermath. But at the very least, the remaining hostages have been released along with a vast number of imprisoned palestinians.

    We have been fed modified images for decades and decades. The only difference is now everybody can do it and it has become a standard. We are being fed increasingly "un-organic" music performances and sonics. I don't think some image filtering is any more upsetting or unsurprising or offensive...

    Of course it gets flagged as a modified image. It has an in-image caption.

    Great gig. I haven't done a front-center thing in a long time and it was intense. The place was pretty packed. Must have been around 300-350 in the venue, which is not always the case for Blaze, so I imagine they were pretty happy with the turnout.

    He is supposed to be on 20:40. :D

    Blaze Bayley

    So Blaze is on early as the second act. I guess the guy wants to get on to the road quickly after his gig, or go to sleep or whatever.

    I went last year for the Maiden set. He had both Appletons on guitar.

    European Politics

    So this is a consequence of economic neo-liberalism, of americanization, and I agree - it rips the fabric of nations after a certain point. We see that everywhere in Europe, with a sense of hopelessness over a system not really working for your benefit. Now, I wouldn't want to live in the 1970's...

    Here's a few bullet points off of the top of my head: * Sweden has subjected education to the market. There is no other country on earth that subjects the education system to free market principles on the tax payer's dime and lets for profit companies run schools. How do they create their...

    European Politics

    Living in Sweden, which has gone from what has been described as the most leftist of western democracies, to the probably most americanized economy/market (and ever decreasing social safety nets and infrastructure austerity) in Europe in just a few decades, I really don't see it (and your...

    Since you asked ChatGPT A, you might as well ask B. Here's the answer. You're blending two different concepts: capitalism and taxation levels. A country can absolutely be capitalist while having high taxes—because capitalism refers primarily to the economic system, not the tax rate. Here's...

    The problem with No Prayer isn't the performances. It is the songwriting and the production, a clear step down from anything else Birch did for Maiden.

    European Politics

    It's the same headline, and the same content in the article. The Daily Mail is essentially just parroting BILD. And saying Merkel is a communist is just ridiculous. She is a center-right politician.

    Considering there are three support acts, I'd say we're in for a late night. Doors at 7, three support acts. I don't expect Blaze to hit the stage earlier than 9:30-10PM and then maybe he's finished around 23:30? I'd suggest you'd get a room if you can manage it - I got one. Hotels in Jönköping...
