Judging from Zion Wright's new part teaser, I think we may be in for a surprise. But to be honest I've yet to watch 95% of these skaters' parts.

"And do not, under any circumstances, take a job that involves night shifts. This shit should be illegal."

While true for most professions this obviously doesn't apply to firefighters, emergency medical technicians (EMTs), emergency dispatchers, air traffic controllers, nurses, trauma surgeons, police, weather forecasters, et cetera. Basically all professions where human lives are at stake require night shifts. The crucial part is that people who want to do night shifts should only need to do night shifts as to have a healthy sleeping pattern. Anything preventing people from having a decent sleeping cycle against their will should be illegal.

Give each and every one of them housing and health care. 🖤🐜

Definitely.

Also, I stand corrected: the "e.g." was preceded by a dot and capitalized, so my picks indeed seem silly haha. Those are two of my favourite artists so my choice was primed. 🙃

Ah yes, "feasible full self-driving next year since 2012-something never-tells-a-lie"-Musk claims "AI, not tele-operated". Let's trust him implicitly.

While you made me laugh out loud, those belong to the "and…against our whole corrupt system" part of the sentence, not the "many artists do not have plenty of money".

Feel free to append the list ;)

Buy merch from your favourite artists/bands instead and be vocal about taxing the rich. Also stop using Instagram, TikTok, WhatsApp, et cetera. The EU Parliament has plenty of money, many artists do not, yet the latter have way more reach than wearing an EU t-shirt, and plenty of artists are vehemently against our whole corrupt system. E.g., Massive Attack, Godspeed You! Black Emperor, et cetera.

Vivaldi mail requires you to be an “active community member” in the Vivaldi community

Shit, didn't know. Thanks for pointing that out.

 

Some of Rodney's quotes that stuck with me from this interview:

  • “Being stubborn and easily amused are probably my biggest gifts.”
  • “Skateboarders are a group of people that don’t belong in groups.”
 

This Rodney Mullen video is one of the oldest I can remember. The Sweet Home Alabama song, the surroundings, the skateboarding, it never fails to put me in a blissful mood.
