Boxerman
----------
(Sung to the tune of Wellerman)

[A Musical Thread]

🎵
There once was a plan for an AFV
The name of the plan was the MIV
There’s more to the tail than you may know
Brew that bivvie boys, brew
🎵

(Hurr! 💪)

🎶
Soon may the Boxerman come
To bring us armour and tea and gun
One day, when the fightin’ is done
We’ll take our wheels and go
🎶

🎵
They must deploy two kay from shore
Fit two to a Herc or maybe more
We envied all that Soviet Cav
And soon was born MRAV
🎵

🎶
Soon may the Boxerman come
To bring us armour and tea and gun
One day, when the fightin’ is done
We’ll take our wheels and go
🎶

Before MRAV had hit Main Gate
A straight eight by eight was second rate
The brass had seen another crate
The answer was less weight

🎶
Soon may the Boxerman come
To bring us armour and tea and gun
One day, when the fightin’ is done
We’ll take our wheels and go
🎶

🎵
Reqs now decreed a squadron oughta
Fit inside an air transporter
OPFOR snatched a bloody slaughter
The answer was more weight
🎵

🎶
Soon may the Boxerman come
To bring us armour and tea and gun
One day, when the fightin’ is done
We’ll take our wheels and go
🎶

🎵
General speakers in denial
Ignored truths sourced from fair trial
Robots, last mile, such a farce
You can shove Cyber up your
🎵

🎶
Soon may the Boxerman come
To bring us armour and tea and gun
One day, when the fightin’ is done
We’ll take our wheels and go
🎶

🎵
As far as I've heard the Tracks still on
The budget’s been cut and the turrets not done
The Boxerman strikes a welcome call
Remember FFLAV, TRACER, OUVS and all
🎵

(Hurr! 💪)

🎶
Soon may the Boxerman come
To bring us armour and tea and gun
One day, when the fightin’ is done
We’ll take our wheels and go
🎶

🎶
Soon may the Boxerman come
To bring us armour and tea and gun
One day, when the fightin’ is done
We’ll take our wheels and go
🎶

"Music, Sense and Nonsense: Collected Essays and Lectures", por Alfred Brendel.

Capítulo: “Conversations - Talking to Brendel with Jeremy

Ya casi llegamos al final de este maravilloso libro. En esta sección, Brendel comparte varias entrevistas. La primera de ellas fue en 1972 con Jeremy Siepmann, músico, locutor, articulista y autor de varios libros sobre música.

Si bien después de 377 hojas ya tenemos una buena idea sobre las opiniones de de Brendel sobre la música y el quehacer musical, en esta entrevista revela varios puntos de vista.

Sobre si disfruta interpretar música, Brendel responde que sí, sobre todo en los últimos años, “when I’ve had the impression that much of what I do comes across. Of course, one very rarely knows if the right things come across)”.

Sobre si los intérpretes existen para vincular al compositor con el público, Brendel afirma que le interesa más la relación del intérprete con el compositor que con el público: “What fascinates me is to make sense of a piece of music while it sounds”.

I think Frank Edwards needs to hire a team to do major work sanitising and building a better digital experience for his music, his digital trail and everything else in between

I say this out of need to the larger lesson to creatives, i'd hate to restrict this to Christians alone

I love Frank Edwards, his songs form a huge part of my morning worship routine. But for the past two weeks, I've been looking for a song that I used to play a lot in my first/second year of uni and couldn't find it until I searched a random part of the lyrics and went as far as..

The 6th page on Google search. Yes, that's how badly I wanted it.

Even when I found the name of the song, the song was available as a lyric video on YouTube and published by someone entirely different from who I wanted to give streaming dollars to, that's if it counts for much.

Hit another bump. I want to subscribe, and I realise there's over 11 Frank Edwards on YouTube. Each with huge and growing subscriber numbers, that was worrying.

It was not until this morning I found one with 250k subscribers and I thought... Ah this has to be him.

I search on Google for Frank Edwards and his entire discography isn't listed on Google and it in fact worried me.

Now I am moving to upset because this is someone I love deeply and hate to see how there's so much low hanging fruit that he isn't taking advantage of.

"Music, Sense and Nonsense: Collected Essays and Lectures", por Alfred Brendel.

Capítulo: “Conversations - Bach and the Piano with Terry

En 1976 Terry Snow entrevistó a Alfred Brendel sobre sus puntos de vista acerca de la obra de Bach para teclado, la cual hasta ese entonces Brendel había evitado ejecutar en sus conciertos.

Brendel cambió de opinión en esa época. Al haber sido alumno de Edwin Fischer, quien transmitía la música de Bach de una manera única y con poderosa autoridad, le tomó tiempo considerar que estaba listo para abordar a Bach en sus propios

En un principio, Brendel no se sentía muy convencido por las ejecuciones “históricas”. Sin embargo, para él la obra de Bach es menos dependiente de los instrumentos contemporáneos que la de Monteverdi, Domenico Scarlatti, Purcell, Rameau y Couperin.

Entre las ventajas de interpretar las obras para teclado de Bach en piano, Brendel considera el hecho de que este es más adecuado para las salas de concierto modernas. Además, para Brendel dichas obras están llenas de posibilidades

“Don’t leave the church because of the people who hurt you. Nobody is perfect, only God”

I’ll explain why this comment is not only not helpful at all, but also very harmful.

1/

The comment assumes we can’t tell the difference between people and toxic theology, it assumes our issues are with a few people who are outliers and misrepresented God, and we just seem to think that’s the totality of divinity. Which makes us appear unintelligent and petty.

2/

But, that’s not the case at all. I didn’t leave because a few people hurt me in the name of God, in fact I stayed long enough to get hurt again, and again, and again, and again. Because it’s not a few bad apples hurting people in the name of God what we are dealing with.

3/

Instead we are talking about systemic abuse due to toxic theology that is taught as righteousness.

Go to any white evangelical church today and conduct all the tests you must to ensure only those who are “good Christians,” remain. I guarantee you people will be harmed there.
4/

Not because people just hurt people, not because Christians have good intentions but sometimes make mistakes; instead because the harm is caused due to indoctrination into toxic theology and a belief that their social and theological framework is not only good,

So I was talking to @gewt about Job: A Comedy of Justice and I came up with a theory that I think explains why Heinlein's late-period work is so kinda-terrible and why I still enjoy it so much

So Heinlein had always been very interesting in the short parts of his novels, like the little snippets inside chapters. He had a very fun writing style, and wrote some fun dialogue with fun characters, right?>
It probably comes from how much of his early stuff was short fiction

And I think what happened with a lot of his longer works is that he'd just start writing fun bits and hope it would end up going somewhere or having a bigger plot by the end. like eventually he'd figure out where this was going, then go back and rewrite it into a cohesive whole

and I'm sure he had editors that'd help this process. No editor would let you publish something as rambly and changing-gears-every-other-chapter as The Number Of The Beast, for example... unless you were God-King Of Science Fiction 1980s Robert Heinlein.

so basically I think what happened is that by the 80s (when he was in his seventies!!) he lost the drive to go back and rewrite and he was too Untouchable for editors to make him.

Thread A History lesson for the MOAB:
1. The United States of America is not and has never been a Democracy, we're a Federal Republic tied together by the capital Laws of the Constitution.

Everyone in the country is about to get a harsh lesson on what this really means...

2. In 1871, February 21: Congress Passes an Act to Provide a Government for the District of Columbia, also known as the Act of 1871.

With no constitutional authority to do so, Congress creates a separate form of
government for the District of Columbia.

3. A ten mile square parcel of land (see,
Acts of the Forty-first Congress,” Section 34, Session III, chapters 61 and

4. The act — passed when the country was weakened and financially depleted in
the aftermath of the Civil War — was a strategic move by foreign interests
(international bankers) who were intent upon gaining a stranglehold on the coffers and neck of America.

5. Congress cut a deal w/ the international bankers(Rothschilds of London) to incur a DEBT to said bankers. Because the bankers were not about to lend money to a floundering nation w/out serious stipulations, they devised a way to get their foot in the door of the United States.

Recently, the @CNIL issued a decision regarding the GDPR compliance of an unknown French adtech company named "Vectaury". It may seem like small fry, but the decision has potential wide-ranging impacts for Google, the IAB framework, and today's adtech. It's thread time! 👇

It's all in French, but if you're up for it you can read:
• Their blog post (lacks the most interesting details): https://t.co/PHkDcOT1hy
• Their high-level legal decision: https://t.co/hwpiEvjodt
• The full notification: https://t.co/QQB7rfynha

I've read it so you needn't!

Vectaury was collecting geolocation data in order to create profiles (eg. people who often go to this or that type of shop) so as to power ad targeting. They operate through embedded SDKs and ad bidding, making them invisible to users.

The @CNIL notes that profiling based off of geolocation presents particular risks since it reveals people's movements and habits. As risky, the processing requires consent — this will be the heart of their assessment.

Interesting point: they justify the decision in part because of how many people COULD be targeted in this way (rather than how many have — though they note that too). Because it's on a phone, and many have phones, it is considered large-scale processing no matter what.
