Itβs worth remembering how new the whole idea of βowning musicβ actually is. Recorded music as something households routinely bought is barely a century old, so in historical terms weβre still in an early phase. We went from records to radio to tapes to CDs to downloads to streaming in a blink.
I'm sure you know this was coming.
The following is REAL footage from Portland, 2025. Viewer discretion is advised.
all good here. Worried about folks back there tho.
congratulations!!
No. Itβs his Horst Wessel. Still to come β¦.. night of the long knives then Kristallnacht
You didnβt invest. No tickie, no ridey
Hitler didn't attend Horst Wessel's funeral. But Goebbels did.
Cool, but not a real zoom. Scopes canβt go that deepβoptical ones stop at microns. You need an electron microscope for fine detail. Itβs stitched/CGI to show scale. Any modern VLSI chip (Intel, AMD, Qualcomm, etc.) looks like this, since they pack billions of transistors in layered patterns.
miss you too! Hugs
Manifest destiny is back in style. Oh, and Thomas Kinkade.
it looks like the type of store we had growing up. No GC, Mars (RIP), etc.
where is this? Is it Music 21?
holy moly, that MOOG was probably worth 6x more!
I got Calle up in 2012 and wound up as the jury foreperson
Very good analysis by Gen Hodges.

Sending people from Greece or Hungary or Italy to be gassed in the Generalgouvernement was taking them from one Nazi-occupied place to another Nazi-occupied place.
That it was βoutside Germanyβ isnβt relevant.
They were all fully under control of the SS regardless of where in the Reich they were. Putting people into the concentration camp system wasnβt sending them out of control of the Reich. It was just sending them to the place in the Reich where they would be abused or killed or both.
Death camps were death camps regardless of where in the German Reich they were located. They were in the Generalgouvernement because thatβs where the Jews were, and the KL system drew other relevant populations there because thatβs where the killing facilities were.
Iβm going to resist the temptation to explain which KLs were inside the borders of Germany (even if they were in Ostmark, formerly Austria, for instance).
Iβm going to resist those temptations because it doesnβt matter.
Thereβs a meme that KL Auschwitz was outside Germanyβs borders.
Iβm going to resist the temptation to explain how and why KL Auschwitz, the Operation Reinhard camps and other parts of the KL system were in the Generalgouvernement rather than in territory annexed to Germany or whatever.
11/ In no small coincidence, Peter Thiel also happens to have co-founded PayPal with none other than Elon Musk.
10/ Yarvin's ideas are influential among Silicon Valley insiders like billionaire Peter Thiel, who has been friends with Yarvin for years. Thiel was an early supporter of Donald Trump in 2016 and is responsible for introducing him to J.D. Vance, whose political rise he also funded.
9/ What he landed on was to βvirtualize themβ in βpermanent solitary confinementβ with βan immersive virtual-reality interfaceβ to βexperience a rich, fulfilling life in a completely imaginary world.β
8/ As far-fetched as it sounds, no, Yarvin is not joking about any of this. Writing under a pseudonym earlier in his career, Yarvin described trying to think of a βhumane alternative to genocideβ to do away with the βunderclassβ of βunproductive members of society.β
