Welcome back. I had a post taken down earlier tonight about Oregon’s water emergency and the 125 data centers in the state. It was a meme with 3 sources in comments including one from an official state website and another mapping out the data centers across the state.
YES! It is more powerful in the German, "standing at the Wall, at the Wall" and gives it more context.
And before then there was LOW "The album also touches on the hopelessness of people beyond the Iron Curtain, symbolized by the Berlin Wall, as Bowie sought to find solace and creativity in Berlin."
LOW was on the radio as a single in 1977. I think I bought it as an 8-track (technology of the time). I don't know why I wanted to listen to it over and over. But it resonated with my suffering and betrayal at the time. Someone else expressed what I was feeling . . .
But why dog, did you post Heroes to begin with? What thought or feeling or idea were you resonating? B/c Heroes resonates.
"salute to BerlinWallCrosser perseverance in meming"
***** Salute to both of you!
"B/c Heroes resonates"
Berlin was where it was AT, during the Cold War. Chilling, Spy vs Spy and so much more. Movies and reality. The images from 1961 when JFK allowed the wall to be put up b/c too many Germans were fleeing to the West?!? The German soldier running over the barrier. The windows blocked up on the East side of the wall so they could not even see their relatives waving from the west. The people SHOT in the dead man's zone; the people who tried to escape and some did. Checkpoint Charlie Museum.
Going across the Helmstedt Corridor in a POV. When we had to put all our documents in a bin for the Soviets to review, hoping we got them back again! [The "Helmstedt Corridor" refers to the crucial Cold War transit route connecting West Germany to West Berlin across the former East German border. At its core were Checkpoint Alpha (in the West) and the Marienborn border crossing (in the East).] Seeing the DDR citizens driving in cardboard Trabis while the traffic from West Germany was in Mercedes and BMW and etc. OH the Ossies noticed!
Once on an Army trip we road the train on the corridor; the Soviets went through the cars looking at our papers when we crossed the inner-German border.
Checkpoint Charlie. Due to status of Force agreements, we were allowed to go into East Berlin, in uniform.
We had just left West Berlin, which was beautiful. Markets in the street with flowers and fruits galore! East Berlin had very ugly concrete block housing, the older buildings still pockmarked. NO FLOWERS! Can you imagine a Germany with no flowers?!? Their shops were empty. Their books and paper products were inferior (I still bought some). When we ate there, the spoons for the soup were so light we had to adjust our soup eating approach.
Heroes resonates for the struggle. Some made it, most did not, until 1989/1990.
I get the color change to illicit a reaction but the fact the numbers are all the same make me know it’s bullshit. Shame that whomever put it together calls themselves out so easily.
I still believe what they’re trying to convey; that the hype is manufactured, just wish it was factually-represented.
30 to 35 isn't THAT much when it comes to summer temperatures in Europe. I remember visiting Finnish Lapland on holidays a couple of times during the 1980s when those were the temperatures there, once in very early summer in Utsjoki near the border between Finland and Norway when the temperature was for over a week around 30 Celsius, and I sunbathed in a bikini (the mosquitoes had not yet hatched in numbers to make that impossible...) on a spot next to a pile of snow still left from the winter. It's kind of funny when they now try to claim that something like that near the middle of Europe, or on the Mediterranean coasts, would be something unprecedented.
Man made climate change is a psyop. The color change is to help reinforce the false narrative.
More commie than ever...

I still like the studio recording of Space Oddity.

...a song based on heroin episodes...
..."David Bowie" was a groundbreaking effort...
not familiar with that version; it is easier to understand some of the lyrics. He also recorded it in German.

...Low and Heros were both released in 77 and have been in my rotation since rotations were created...
...I think it is the Fripp guitar tone that mesmerizes me...

The NUMBERS are all THE SAME in both years, but the COLOR on the map is different.
I don't get it.
Have the temps changed, or not?
It's the same but colored differently to elicit concern.
The color change is a psyop on the current generation trying to make them think that they’re experiencing never before seen heat.
try the 11th century in Europe
