My cover of “Darkness Begins” theme by John Carpenter • Alan Howarth
“Prince of Darkness” (1987)
#Music #Filmscore #Horror
It's that time of year when darkness takes on a special meaning, and for those of a certain age and temperament, there are some fond but chilling memories of John Carpenter's apocalyptic trilogy of films.
I've used a blend of modern sampled acoustic wavetable and classic analog synthesizer, in this homage to the 1987 film “Prince of Darkness”, and the “Darkness Begins” theme

When I was very young, I saw Alfred Hitchcock's film "The Birds" at a matinée.
I had nightmares about it for years, and yet, I can't help watching it this time of year.

Bringing unregulated, unfettered capitalism to heel, making them accountable to better protect and improve the quality of life is what conservative values are supposed to be.

Directly targeting the poor, disproportionately impacting Black, Indigenous, and People of Color; this is a death sentence, state-sponsored genocide, not the abortion of any fetus.

This is me a decade after the picture of me with the blond, burgundy, and dark blue Mohawk, playing live with one of my childhood mentors, the late James "Pigmeat" Jarrett on piano (me with the 1970 Gibson Les Paul Custom).
That was only a few years before he died and left my world smaller and colder. That is the problem, there was no culture for me to go back to and find others who shared music like him and all the others I have lost in the years since.

The picture was taken by the Enquirer Magazine from outside Arnold's Bar, the oldest continuously operating in Cincinnati, Ohio.
At the time, it was owned by another of my friends and mentors, Jim Tarbell, who owned the famous Ludlow Garage, one of the music venues I hung out in during the early 1970s.

Rev. Al slams Vance's false claims about Haitian immigrants
In more news from my home state of Ohio, and its continuing history of racist beliefs and actions.
How bad do you have to be when it's beyond the pale for a socially conservative newscast reporting on this.
This racist propaganda may be believed by ignorant people, but the people who are weaponizing these racist tropes are not ignorant or stupid.
They know this is a lie, they know exactly what they are doing.

This same year I home built an Intel 286-based PC running DR DOS with the GEM GUI and started a desktop publishing business using Ventura Publisher 3.0. To keep costs low, I used Freedom of Press, a software RIP with Postscript emulation with output to an HP Laserjet hacked with a VisualEdge card that doubled its stock 300 dpi resolution.
I let my customers assume I was just taking orders and delivering their jobs because nobody believed a young Black kid had those computer skills, and also couldn't let them know I wasn't using a Mac because they were also brainwashed into believing only Apple hardware and software was capable of the quality work I produced.
I had to sell the business after SBA/SCORE told me desktop publishing wasn't a service or a product. The two white female UC students who took it over were supported by and approved for a business loan using the business plan I wrote by the same people who had already rejected it.

Stand Against Toxic Hair Relaxing Products
Sign the NAACP Petition
For decades, companies have manufactured and sold hair relaxer products, designed for, and marketed to Black and other women of color.

If this were a pregnant white woman, there would be a firestorm of outrage coast to coast, even if she was armed and threatened the life of a police officer.
But an unarmed, pregnant Black woman only "suspected" of a petty thief, and posing no threat is put down like a dangerous animal.
This is not a few bad apples, or a police problem, it's the manufactured culture of #whiteness and the state-sponsored racial class system that cultivates and defends it.

There is a reason Google's motto is no longer: Don't Be Evil.
From science, to art, politics, to religion, there is no arena of human endeavor where incentives of wealth and power encourage people to be more honest and objective.
Of these, the disciplines that suffer most from the disincentive of capitalism, greed, and ambition are education and science at every level.

She isn't stupid in the conventional sense, but is possessed of a willful ignorance driven by a desperate craving for wealth, approval, status at any price.

Candace Owens Is VERY Stupid
Hitler cited how inspirational the US Eugenics movement was for his ideology, he applauded and copied American Jim Crow laws and policies, repurposing them to control Jews and every group they considered a threat to White/Aryan Supremacy.
