you say you believe in diversity, yet you are on mastodon dot social, curious.

Please enjoy some 3600+ punk/hardcore/divers tapes that I scraped from the legendary Terminal Escape blog and uploaded to @internetarchive

Terminal Escape has been ripping cassettes daily and posting them to a blogspot since 2009 ( terminalescape.blogspot.com ). It's a huge slice of the history of punk hardcore underground DIY culture so I wanted to get it all into a more permanent home and also preserve all the tags, images, and descriptions included in the original posts. It's not way easier to browse and listen, and none of download links are broken.

I already have some more stuff I'll be uploading soon, but I'll try to post in the replies some of my picks from this massive collection.

Dreckige Politer*innen, die sich selber ihre beschissenen Diäten erhöhen, um dann zu beschließen, dass die Mietpreisbremse in Berlin fallen soll.

Ohne jemals wieder den Volksentscheid zu Deutsche Wohnen und Co beachtet zu haben.

Jede Sache die wir als Unter- und Mittelschicht zu sparen versuchen, ist für Superreiche eine Sache, die sie mehr verschwenden können.

Es kotzt mich so an.

This is one of the rare times in my modern clown era that I will comment on a news post. Only because there is something to highlight about this news story.

So the story is that yahoo had a "woman CEO moment" and chose to buy Tumblr instead of Netflix or Hulu. Hulu being notable as it was closer in price to Tumblr. Of course the purchase was disastrous and Tumblr had lost all of its value in the six years after its purchase.

So this begs the question: why did yahoo buy Tumblr?

When you think about the time period, 2013-2014 of the purchase, Netflix was the big dog in town but everyone with a bit of foresight knew that streaming wasn't going anywhere. In fact during this time frame yahoo had already been producing shows for streaming. So why buy Tumblr which has perhaps no practical value compared to other social networks?

I have that answer: societal control

It's no secret now that yahoo along with other large sites work with the US government to provide user data to them via the prism project. But what if it goes a bit further than that? Here was their plan:

>Foster community of weirdos on Tumblr
>Buy Tumblr
>Claim CP on platform
>Use another prism project member apple to threaten Tumblr with deplaforming
>Ban all porn off Tumblr driving all the weirdos to twitter
>Culture war accelerates on Twitter

Note that they went hard on them for CP but some places (like reddit) manage to avoid any sort of scrutiny for years. They use this claim to drive traffic off of Tumblr via overcorrection, centralizing traffic to twitter where the alphabet soup agencies start moderation.

Fast forward to last year, Elon Musk (who also glows) decides to purchase twitter. And like clockwork the same set of events happens with Twitter almost exactly:

>Buy twitter
>Apple threatens to deplaform twitter for hate speech
>Musk meets with Apple
>CP banning claims happen afterward
>Meanwhile porn artists start getting banned and shadowbanned despite their content not being illegal

Now following this blueprint, what exactly does this accelerate? The "Web 3.0" movement. Suddenly people are now starting to talk about using decentralized technologies. Part of which is of course the fediverse. Blue sky is now getting developed, mastodon is starting more development, and people are slowly starting to shift onto fedi such as the Japanese artist on misskey.

Everything that led up to this, all started because yahoo bought Tumblr. It was not a mistake it was planned :back_from_the_cia:
