Loss, Missles, No Kings and the False Promises of Technology
June 16, 2025 12:00pm
This is the soundtrack for the week that was leading up to June 16th, 2025.
This week literally went ballistic. Missles flew. Bullets flew. Rubber bullets got shot. A few American politicians were at the receiving end of violence, some of it lethal. Federal troops came to Los Angeles. Somebody got a parade for their birthday, but it got rained on. 2000 or so communities across the United States got together to peacefully state their objection to monarchy. Sly Stone and Brian Wilson done passed on. I watched a couple of movies tha nicely t illustrated the split screen effect of "how we thought it might be/how it turned out" view of personal technology (Until the End Of the World/Mountainhead). I processed it all with the following music:
