It's Monday so it's time for #MoodMusicMonday. Today's mood for various reasons is "defiant".

Post a song/songs that you think fit being "defiant". They can be songs about defiance, or sound defiant, put you in a defiant mood or you listen to when you feel that way, have been used in a defiant scene (video games, movies, etc) , were created out of defiance, or just otherwise fit the mood.

There are no wrong answers, it's just an excuse to share music, and be pissed off.

Remember to include the hashtag #MoodMusicMonday and the mood "defiant".

i guess it says "possibly haunted" so maybe you don't get a ghost, it's like ghost gacha

this is a good deal for a ghost and you get vintage hardware as a bonus!

me: some people get analysis paralysis but with you i get paralysis analysis

my physiotherapist: get out

me: i can't, i'm paralyzed

if the IA ever dies for good, there's gonna be a temptation to blame them for making mistakes that caused it (not having better infosec, taking off lending restrictions to try to help at the beginning of a global pandemic that shut down the world), but if they go down, they were taken down by deliberate actions by people (book publishers, hackers) not by forces of nature*

could they have played defense better? yes, could they have been better prepared about how publishers would react during the pandemic, probably, but they were still deliberately targeted and we shouldn't misplace our anger

*(although there is a tendency to treat malicious hackers and corporations as forces of nature who have no choice but to do what they do, this is not true, these are human beings who make decisions)

reminded today of the importance of the internet archive when I wanted to show a friend the Pottermore article arguing that freeing slaves is bad but I couldn't access the Wayback Machine because the IA is down... luckily somebody backed it up on archive.ph (https://archive.ph/drNai) but there's a lot of stuff that isn't, & if the IA ever goes down for good, it'll be hard to prove things existed that were taken down, or be able to read them for yourself/show others so they can see for themselves...

it's not simply that we won't be able to read deleted things, but we won't be able to verify them or to give other people verification that it said what we claim/remembered it said... and people can claim that articles DID exist saying X but were deleted and we'd have no way of verifying it :\

you know how people are always like growing up as a kid they thought they were gonna have to deal with like... quicksand or w/e a lot more than they did? 90s kids are probably like "I have to deal with a lot fewer ninja attacks than I was led to expect as a kid"

but what they don't know is that like Y2K and the ozone layer, it's actually b/c of the massive anti-ninja forces that were mobilized after the 90s that keep the various shadowy ninja clans at bay every night

in the 90s everybody was being attacked by ninjas all the time

a fleet of catgirls has been spotted in the outer rim

never believe in things, only believe in stuff

everybody loves Columbo but if he was in your RPG, his player would be accused of being the most obnoxious godmoder ever

"I didn't break my sword, that was never my sword, that was a fake sword I carried around from the very beginning of the campaign, I just pretended it was my real sword, my real sword is embedded in the monster's stomach when he swallowed the backpack, i put the sword in the backpack ahead of time before any of you even met me, I let the monster eat my backpack on purpose, that wasn't a failed roll"

There's no prize at the end of life for denying yourself happiness and toughing it out to the end as miserable as possible

there are 4 kinds of stories:

the author's barely disguised fetish

the author's barely disguised politics

the author's barely disguised midlife crisis

the author's barely disguised high school grievances

and a secret 5th and 6th kind of story:

the author's barely disguised love of a particular animal

the author's barely disguised obsessive interest in a niche subject that they read way too much about

no, don't do it, you'll get fished!
