It's been two weeks but I still can't get over that new cover of The Girl From Ipanema I heard on the radio.
The production and vocals were, like in most such covers, boring and unoriginal.
But that wasn't the worst part.
What disturbed me was that there was no B section. It was just A on a loop. They cut out the heart of the song.
People of all ages can appreciate Bohemian Rhapsody, but labels don't think they can handle 2 sections in a song anymore.
*smh*

Debugging. The game where you are the detective, the victim, and the criminal at the same time. You don’t know where the crime took place or what it was, but you're pretty sure there was one.
A Finnish professor wrote a column that began with a story about the monstrosities committed by the Khmer Rouge. He then compared that to the #degrowth and #postgrowth movements. To no surprise, the column continued with a series of straw men and misrepresentation, ending with a declaration of empty "hope" that economic growth will save the day.
Degrowth has clearly turned into an idea that can't be ignored anymore in Finland, and the quality of these "critiques" only proves its strength.
@jonne Jos alkaa näyttää siltä, että pitää kaikki osat vaihtaa, Taitonetti on hyvä vaihtoehto. Oma sieltä hommattu pelikone on toiminut erinomaisen hyvin.
Some good personal news.
My first leg as an independent activist is coming to a planned end after two and a half years.
I had already accepted a return to increasing shareholder value in order to fund the second leg, when a few months ago I noticed Greenpeace International was looking for a software engineer to join a remote team. And I managed to get the job!
So I'm very proud to say that for at least the next 12 months, I'll be writing software to increase the impact of Greenpeace.

I'm not opposing, redistribution of wealth is definitely needed.
At the same time, and after many years of reading and acting, I don't believe in "vote green and wait". Appealing to power to fix climate change has been tried now for thirty years, and it's not working.
I now only believe in a mass movement of ordinary people demanding change, and replacing the people power.
That's why pushing everyday people from worry to action, like Hayhoe says, is crucial.
