Listen to this song at 1.25x speed and try shadow boxing in rhythm to the beat. You’ll be feeling like Muhammad Ali halfway through the song

To preface, this company has been around for a little while, over 10 years and this private company has been hired and used by public schools for over a decade now. They tried to make it like Facebook but for kids, and they made us do it. When you’re in 4th grade and your teacher tells you to make an account you don’t think twice about it. Looking back tho, it was weird as FUCK: they would ask you for an email (ok pretty normal) then ask for your phone number if you have one (umm a bit weird) then they’d ask you to say what town you live in (ok dude too far) then they would be like ok last step tell us your full name and put up a picture for your pfp (what the fuck). Keep in mind these are all KIDS. Not only did Edmodo sell all this info, but that’s also like 1 step away from inviting child predators into your site. Idk if anything happened with that particular theory (I hope to God it didn’t) but it seems like a very bad idea to put kids’ private info online. At least now they’re facing repercussions but that’s not nearly enough and it’s way too late. Check this FTC article for more info on their fuckups

As a kid my Dad really warped my perspective on Hippies. He was born in the 60s and loved the music of the 60s and 70s and he’s very Liberal. At first I used to think Hippies were the best people that humanity could ever bring forth: Peace-loving folks who love everyone and believe in preserving nature. And I still appreciate a lot of that sentiment, especially protesting the Vietnam War, but as I became a Marxist I became sorta disillusioned with the Hippie’s dedication to non-violence and how their “free love” was often used as an excuse to be a sex-pest drug-addled parasite who refuses to work. I don’t like Forrest Gump’s portrayal of Hippies exactly, it was written by a right winger, they aren’t all assholes and they usually don’t beat women for sure. Nowadays I can respect their anti-war sentiments and their pro-nature stances but so much of being a hippy seems to be a misunderstanding of what gets shit done. Also some Hippie music is great but FUCK jam bands, nobody’s trying to hear a song that’s as long as a full album and just repeats over and over again with slight variations. That’s all I have to say about Hippies, what are your thoughts?

Legalize Marijuana, drop all gun charges, subsidized drugs(medical and recreational)

I don’t mean like years or anything. Obviously we love 1917 and 1949 and 1959 for their historical significance, but what numbers do you just LIKE? For me personally, I like the number 6. Idk why, I just like it. What are yours?

Most of us probably grew up playing video games, some of them we forgot or our gaming system ain’t what it used to be. What games bring you back to the good ol’ days when you didn’t know what politics were and couldn’t be bothered to watch the news bc the new ep of Spongebob is on? For me I have to say the Simpsons Game (PS2), the Billy & Mandy Fighting Game (PS2) DK Country (SNES) and NBA 2k14 (PS3, please whatever Deity is out there bring me back to 2013 so I can cheat in 2k again and make my MyPlayer basically just Michael Jordan 😭) and probably Infamous for PS3, I probably played the first game like 18 times fr. What are your faves?

I really like Bob Dylan’s music and he even sang a few Irish Independence songs that were great, so I thought for the longest time that politically Bob Dylan was a pacifist-leaning Lefty. Lefty in the sense that he wrote Maggie’s Farm, some anti-war songs and stuff like that. But this song is HORRID. Bob Dylan sings about how Israel is lied about and outnumbered and trapped, how they can’t even defend themselves without everyone criticizing them. In case anyone thinks “well that was long ago, people can change”, Bob Dylan did shows in Israel in 2011 after being asked by Palestinian groups and sympathetic groups around the world to boycott them. This song The Neighborhood Bully was released like a year after they invaded Lebanon, murdering thousands. He made some good music, but Fuck Bob Dylan.

What albums do yall listen to from beginning to end? There are plenty of artists and bands that I like with great songs but sometimes the album has filler in between the main tracks. Which albums do you feel like have little to no filler? I’d put up Chief Keef’s Finally Rich (debut album) Licensed To Ill by the Beastie Boys, maybe Sgt Pepper’s Lonely Hearts Club Band by Beatles, Curtis (1970) by Curtis Mayfield and Cuba Libre by Carlos Puebla. What are your favorites?

I saw Vice (2018) a few nights ago and it was a very entertaining movie. It’s about Dick Cheney’s life story made by Adam McKay, he also made great comedy movies in the past. I just finished watching Misery (1990) today and it was easily one of the best movies I’ve seen in a while. Great suspense and kinda funny at times, that’s to be expected from the director of the film, Rob Reiner. What have yall been watching lately?

I always thought the movie was controversial because it was about JFK getting killed and the story of who was involved, I was waaaay off the mark. This movie sounds awesome, lemme get my soda, popcorn and 3-D glasses!
