#Israel subjects its soldiers to absurd disciplinary actions based on religious notions related to work on the #sabbath. They're legislating #Judaism the same way #ChristianNationalists are attempting to impose #Christianity on the whole of the nation. This isn't freedom, it's #theocracy. It's hard to support Israel when they're behaving reprehensibly at every turn.

The 1994 Stoner Metal Classic That Produced an Unlikely Radio Hit
Corrosion of Conformity spent years slowly merging from thrashy punks to southern metal kings, and it finally paid off commercially for them in 1994.
Some kids are into vinyl now (surprisingly, I didn't even get him into it!) and I don't think my kid will see this, I hope not (nobody tell him 🤣) but I tested this turntable I'm gonna give him with some #Sabbath

Ozzy Osbourne is Open For Anything Regarding AI in Music
Just don't hold your breath for an AI Randy Rhoads. The post Ozzy Osbourne is Open For Anything&#
Marguerite at the Sabbath (c. 1912) by Pascal Dagnan-Bouveret (French artist, lived 1852–1929). Faust attended a Sabbath with Mephistopheles. From the fires of hell Marguerite, pale as a specter, stands up, her child dead in her arms. The model posing for this work was Suzanne Delvé.
August 12th is National Vinyl Record Day (apparently) so I grabbed all the vinyl I could find in my house. It's not a lot. I used to have many crates full. But after many moves, I thinned the collection down to nearly nothing, as I do digital music mostly now (I have no turntable anymore either). But sometimes, I grab a couple. Bought the bottom row here recently. Odd I can't find my copy of Telekon. Pretty sure I still have that one somewhere. I hope so. And wow, I have two copies of Green Thoughts, one signed, one not. Check out that picture disc. I should get better photos of it eventually. It's rad.
It's absolutely beat to hell, but when I find an original copy (JP's old copy, according to the cover) of a classic like Paranoid at Goodwill for less than $3, I can't just leave it there. It's too damn beautiful and badass. 🤘
