Mer

evermore (deluxe version) available for streaming now!
 
 
 

Really the only track on evermore I skip regularly is No Body No Crime (just a lil bland imo). Everything else (even closure) is great to enjoyably decent. The absolute bests are gold rush, tolerate it, ivy, cowboy like me, long story short, Marjorie (what a sequence right there tbh), and evermore (bon iver is great in the song and his signature falsetto is so much better than the deep voice in exile). 

me liking posts from all sides because valid points were made all around and i like to remain impartial:

anyways i think @Bunny Mozart hit the nail on the head, separating the art from the artist can only go so far—and that applies to everyone

Actually I think @urgirl brings up a good point. Muting public leaders sets a dangerous precedent, especially if a warranted coup were to happen against a crooked regime, should Twitter mute the leader of that coup? It's a moral dilemma--but, in these circumstances, Twitter took the correct steps, especially after Trump tweeted that "these are the events that happen when a scared landslide election victory is so viciously and unceremoniously stripped away from great patriots". Fanning the flames of unjust violence based upon lies is pretty easy to morally decipher; but we'll have to cross the future morally-ambiguous bridges when we get there...

also in "Cowboy Like Me" (though more lyrically than sonically). Especially the bridge:
"And the skeletons in both our closets/Plotted hard to fuck this up/And the old men that I've swindled/Really did believe I was the one/And the ladies lunching have their stories about/When you passed through town/But that was all before I locked it down"

The people or Iran (e.g. amongst other places) are currently going thru a food and water shortage, while they actually deal with “rigged” elections—yet you don’t see them able to overtake the capital and loot it. But some white trash fat fucks in USA get angry that their dog-whistling moron of a president lost the election by a landslide and think it’s worth shedding blood over. What a bunch of weak pussies. 

Some good news: Jon Ossoff has official won his Senate race. The Democrats now have control of all three legislative branches. 

im hoping the ring leaders of this clown show also back down (Hawley and Cruz). 
 
The slight silver lining in this terrible situation is the GOP just nuked all their 2024 presidential hopefuls. Cruz, Hawley, Trump, and Pence now will have very little respect in the eyes of the majority of Americans across the political spectrum. And any point they try to make in a potential debate can be ended with “dude you’re one to talk, you encouraged a coup”. 

20 bucks says they’re virgins and blame it on “feminism”

no no no, never thought that even for a second!! i just found it funny like pence thinks hes really doing something  unfollowing the president of the united states of america doesnt undo all the harm hes caused. therapy probably couldnt even help these people

he said “remember this day...you are all patriots...we love you”. that’s as dog whistling as dog whistling gets 

omg... good for him for distancing himself from someone so problematic!!!!! #trumpiscancelled
 
not trying to clown on u, i just cant believe pence actually believes unfollowing trump is supposed to show his contrition or his distaste for trump's actions as if he didnt spend the last 4+ years fucking up the country by his side #besties 

i was about to make a thread on it right when all this happened lol

Agreed

yes i see what you mean. But i also think that Twitter shouldn’t need to be checking and balancing a dangerously unhinged man. We have supposed checks and balances in our legislative processes for reasons, and since Trump is truly a danger to democracy, it’s a sad reality that Twitter takes action before Congress or the VP. 
 
Basically: Twitter was in the right, but it should never have come to being Twitters decision. Congress/Cabinet should’ve acted long before the execs at Twitter needed to discuss if they needed to mute the man.

Thank you! That’s exactly what I’m talking about. I’m not talking about trump in this situation; we all agree that this is fucked up. I’m worried about future precedent. 

That makes sense to me, and I mostly agree with where you're coming from. However, I don't think that we should be looking at social media as a completely separate entity from the real world. The things that Trump has been saying and doing on Twitter has been nothing short of a fascist rising to power, which has legitimate real world consequences, and this action that Twitter has taken is years in the making.
