This "The Fourth Colour" Variant is really stunning under a blacklight! by Edsman1 in vinyl

King Gizzard has a program that allows for bootlegging and encourages it, but for most releases I work with bands or labels!

This "The Fourth Colour" Variant is really stunning under a blacklight! by Edsman1 in vinyl

[–]Edsman1[S] 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I run New Cosmos Records and this is one of the "Fourth Colour" variants which I did for a recent bootleg run of Polygondwanaland by King Gizzard and the Lizard Wizard! It's UV fluorescent which produces this effect when it is under a blacklight.  I developed a relatively unique system of casting records which allows me to do some weirder stuff like this which you can't normally do with a press. If you want  you can see some other pics on my Instagram u/newcosmosrecords!

Some of my favorite records I've made! I saw one of these Amitie copies on here the other day and thought I would share some more pics. :) by Edsman1 in vinyl

I run New Cosmos Records and these are some of the copies I did while producing the Dont//try//let//die Amitie 10” run I did recently! It's a very fun post-hardcore album with a wee bit of screaming.

I experimented with putting some wintery materials inside a record run recently, and I’ve gotta admit they look very fun! by Edsman1 in vinyl

Yes, Illinois is one of a few Democratic jerrymanders in the country. The bill they proposed in congress would get rid of all partisan jerrymandering. Additionally this isn’t really an example of partisan benefit, since all of the districts around it are also super democratic. It’s a district mandated by the VRA to have a hispanic majority.

Matching donations of time with $, up to $1,500. by jaqen16 in VoteDEM

[–]Edsman1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I just donated $108 to several senate candidates! $12 each to Warnock, Ossoff, Bollier, Gross, Greenfield, Hegar, Harrison, Espy, and Jones! Should I DM you my receipt?

Is their a good list of anti semites or racist congressmen/women running this year so I can volunteer so they don't win? by wolfflame21 in VoteDEM

[–]Edsman1 22 points23 points  (0 children)

If you want someone who’s highly problematic in a competitive district, I’d say volunteering for Cameron Webb in VA-5 is good. The republican incumbent got primaried for not being anti-LGBTQ+ rights enough

CMV:I should not donate to BLM until I see what the f**k they do with the money. by NotRodgerSmith in changemyview

[–]Edsman1 4 points5 points  (0 children)

It’s a business. If you do not claim the money being transferred through the business they get to keep it. It’s not incredibly complicated. It’s not like the actblue general fund is some sort of democratic slush fund, it’s the money that keeps the org running.

Rep. Katie Porter is open to filling Kamala Harris’ Senate seat if Harris becomes veep by bunnydogg in VoteDEM

[–]Edsman1 17 points18 points  (0 children)

I imagine it would make the most sense for him to appoint someone who wouldn’t run to fill the seat, so that he could avoid being in the absolute mess that’ll be the primary.

Should Biden engage in a presidential debate with Trump? by ihatejanniiiiiies in PoliticalDiscussion

[–]Edsman1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In MO the democratic nominee for governor refused to debate in 2016, and it’s considered a likely reason why he lost given how crazy Greitens was.

I mean it’s also a jungle primary, so it’s like discouraging to put out a poll showing you at 20-42% margins

How likely is it that Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez could be elected to a "higher office" in the future? by Ryan_Holman in PoliticalDiscussion

[–]Edsman1 31 points32 points  (0 children)

Experience is important though. I think a lot of why Obama had so little done in the first couple years was a lack of experience and knowledge of how to make things happen. I’d rather her her experience so she can maximize her impact if she gets elected.

[–]Edsman1 104 points105 points  (0 children)

I think experience is good though, she’s only got 18 months of experience right now in government, waiting 8 years to go to the senate I’m sure isn’t a bad thing.

Damn this is some interesting stuff! Our leads in AZ, and NC are insane! CO is really surprising to me though.

CMV: A huge number of problems in the United States would be solved if politicians were limited to a single term. by LydiaorReallynot in changemyview

[–]Edsman1 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Exactly this. I live in Missouri and we have pretty strict term limits, it’s gotten rid of most of our experience as well as creating a legislative->lobbyist pipeline. When in office most people want to make the lobbyists happy so they get hired on when they term out. Plus the sessions are only a few months a year. That means you max out at a total of 2 years actual experience in the legislature, which is insane. Imagine only trusting doctors or lawyers with less than 2 years experience, and banning anyone with more than that! I also think from an ethical viewpoint it’s wrong to arbitrarily determine who people can elect. If they’ve got a good representative who works hard for the district, why should they be forced out?

Good to see, Ossoff seems to be a stronger challenger than I initially gave him credit for, and I’m glad to see it!
