Fun fact: 

One in four prisoners in Australia is Indigenous, while in the general population, Indigenous Australians make up only one in 40.

“Well, I remember ten years ago I was talking to an American writer, Donald Barthelme, and he said, “How do you do it in Latin America? How do you manage to write these immense novels? Come up with all these subjects, these very, very long novels? Is there no paper shortage in Latin America? How do you do these things? We find we have great difficulty in the United States as American writers to find subjects. We write slim books, slimmer and slimmer books.” But what I answered on that occasion is that our problem is that we feel we have everything to write about. That we have to fill four centuries of silence. That we have to give voice to all that has been silenced by history.”

The Beatles pop acid to talk about random fuckshit: Wow such legends, greatest of all time, revolutionary

Rapper talks about selling drugs to feed his family: OMG HOW CAN YOU CONDONE THIS IMMORAL CRIMINAL FILTH, BAN IT!!

The beatles played their own instruments and were a major influence not only on other bands but society in general. Writing a song about peace on earth is a lot different than writing a song about popping bottles in the club and popping caps in people……………….MESSAGE

so a racist walks into a bar….

“Bang bang Maxwell’s silver hammer came down on his head
Bang bang Maxwell’s silver hammer made sure that he was dead”
-The Beatles’ message of “peace on earth”

Also, have you heard Ringo play the drums? Have you heard John Lennon try to solo on a guitar (“The End” notwithstanding)? Have you heard George Harrison play sitar? All of these things were absolutely terrible.

To live in an area where you go to a broke-ass school where they’ve removed music education and use that neglect to turn a turntable into a music instrument or use your voice in a way that it hasn’t been used in music before—I would consider that way more skillful that the elementary-grade bullshit The Beatles gave to us on a lot of their songs.

I love The Beatles. I’m not saying that DJing or MCing is necessarily better than their abilities—all I’m saying is that you can’t call certain skills in music invalid just because they don’t align with your sensibilities.

And if we’re talking about “peace and love” songs, rap has done more of those than any other genre of the past 30 years by far. All it takes is a simply Google search to figure that out.

The fact of the matter is that rock music is peppered with the same misogyny, violence, and drug usage as rap music. I love both of them. Let’s just not hold the double standard.

This shit is no different than when race records were too vulgar for white audiences until Elvis made them acceptable, Motown encouraged teenagers too dance to closely until Phil Collins started doing it too, the blues was music only for black folks until the British Invasion, and rap was just a fad until the Beastie Boys.

spaceplasma: Happy Birthday.“In some sense, gravity does not exist; what moves the planets and the stars is the distortion of space and time.” ― Michio Kaku Today is the birthday of a very famous theoretical physicist, Prof. Michio Kaku. He is the the Henry Semat Professor of Theoretical Physics in the City College of New York of City University of New York, a futurist, and a communicator and popularizer of science. He has written several books about physics and related topics; he has made frequent appearances on radio, television, and film; and he writes extensive online blogs and articles. He has written two New York Times Best Sellers, Physics of the Impossible (2008) and Physics of the Future (2011). He has hosted several TV specials for BBC-TV, the Discovery Channel, and the Science Channel. At Cubberley High School in Palo Alto, Kaku assembled an atom smasher in his parents’ garage for a science fair project. His admitted goal was to generate “a beam of gamma rays powerful enough to create antimatter.” At the National Science Fair in Albuquerque, New Mexico, he attracted the attention of physicist Edward Teller, who took Kaku as a protégé, awarding him the Hertz Engineering Scholarship. Kaku graduated summa cum laude from Harvard University in 1968 and was first in his physics class. He attended the Berkeley Radiation Laboratory at the University of California, Berkeley and received a Ph.D. in 1972, and in 1972 he held a lectureship at Princeton University. Prof. Kaku has had over 70 articles published in physics journals such as Physical Review, covering topics such as superstring theory, supergravity, supersymmetry, and hadronic physics. In 1974, along with Prof. Keiji Kikkawa of Osaka University, he authored the first papers describing string theory in a field form.
