Despite being a die-hard pessimist, and cognizant of the harm already done and still to come, I find rational hope in our making it this far without its being even worse.
I also firmly believe that good will prevail, but I do get the impression that making it much much worse is very much on the roster. That recent theft of nearly 2 billion, and the self-proclaimed exemption from law, for the tangerine-incumbent and his entire family, spells N.O. F.U.N. Coupled with the directive to make ICE ten times the size. That spells Sturmabteilung, and its payroll.
me too. There are thousands of people actively working in thier own ways through nonprofits, law firms, politicss, organizing, etc., who are laser focused on all this stuff and fighting it. But I’m ascared but optimistic. I’ll be honest with you, what worries me is the ignorance/stupidity of a lot of citizens… but, just rememver (I say to myself), he barely won, and he had so much help, eg, from Elon Musk…

At least you didn't say "banana hammock"we need to see how the public responds to this July 4th anniversary. Looks to me that most are currently avoiding the discussion out of shame, regret or disbelief to how far we have devolved
yeah, color me naive, but I didn’t realize how much sexism there was and is here. But when he won over Hilary Clinton, I mean, that showed it. And the whole way she was treated by the media, even mainstream media
Pete Hegseth, with the mystical symbols tattooed all over his body, berating the Pope for weighing in on religious ideas, is an image from an occult horror story, in a way
As well as an insufficiently acknowledged reason for the American electorate's second mistake. The 2024 double fault gave us sexism compounded by racism. Would a Kamal Harris, identical to the then-vice president in all ways but his sex, have won? I believe so, fer sure. Would a Honkywoman Harris, identical in all ways but her race, have prevailed? I'm somewhere between "maybe" and "probably" on this counterfactuality.

My private hypothesis is that we all live forever and never die, in our own pocket universe. We only appear to die in other people's universes. Not sure how to test this.Marie de Chicago:

Thanks, rw!Uncle Michael: Thanks for the pandered-for birthday wishes!

Doesn't sound so great-if you're still able to see the world and people in it but can't be seen or contacted, would be frustrating. And if you can't, would be very lonely...rw: chresti, I only saw the guitar bike. Sounded more or less as you would expect from a battery powered speaker with a bit of reverb and distortion.
And I gave up looking for the photo. It became a little too tedious and emotionally trying.

Filmed in Lawrence KS! (if my memory serves)Marie de Chicago: Speaking of scheduling, I am glad Arb is on Sundays now. That works better for me

Nearby, the bridge at Lecompton was featured...but the original bridge is long gone.Marie de Chicago: Happy Birthday, UM and Dr. Jazz!!

It's a solipsistic microverse. Eventually you figure out what's going on, but nobody else ever does. You just keep on meeting new people.rw: Okay. Found the guitar bike... https://www.dropbox.com/scl/fo/qqhza97hubpe6o38xmu45/AO3ZmMguO56g_Pn4xcNChT8?rlkey=ys5zu2pf5vw1arr71a1c1vjci&dl=0

I have no instagram.Simply Simon: I have a much-treasured DVD of Carnival Of Souls, no surprise there. I think it's out of copyright.

Cult-y, atmospheric movie. My kinda film.She is clearly undead (?) and experiences the very thing you described.
Uncle Michael: Hubig!
dan: David Bowie sounding like his birth namesake Davy Jones
StringOFperils:
↳ Song: "Over The Wall We Go" by "David Bowie"
Never heard this before. So English.dan: I think Bowie wishes this recording never saw the light of day
StringOFperils: Better than The Laughing Gnome
dan: Is that Yehudi Menuhin on violin?
Simply Simon:
↳ dan @2:23
L. Shankar is a violin player. Not Ravi.Uncle Michael:
↳ dan @2:23
I don't think it says Yehudi Menuhin on the playlist.Jeff g., via app: Hi from Connecticut. Loving that I can travel across state lines with my internet radio.

adamdoesit: Wow, david w when I can wisten to him wive! Er, listen to him live.
StringOFperils:
↳ Simply Simon @2:33
She is truly fluent in French, yes. That was at least part of her degree program at Yale, I think, but I suspect she began speaking it earlier in her life.Andres: Maybe should be a disclaimer on every playlist: I didn’t say it was good. ;)

As I vaguely recall (haven't been obsessed with Jodie in decades), she partially grew up in France.Uncle Michael:

this is hitting me where I’ve been livin’. Will be listening to again!StringOFperils:
↳ Andres @2:42
Nor I. Have not been in there at all. I'm living on a rather reduced income now, so I don't see too much stuff anymore. Maybe once a year....ticket prices are prohibitive most of the time, for most venues, plus, I dunno, it's just lost the pizzaz, going out. Maybe I'll end up seeing something in the renovated old pile one of these days, maybe notMarie de Chicago:
↳ Song: "Autumn Leaves Don't Come" by "Lucinda Chua"
beautifulStringOFperils: The last bait, where I took the hook, was The Legendary Pink Dots, back in October. The sound was abysmal. Fortunately it wasn't that expensive.
Simply Simon:
↳ StringOFperils @2:46
Exactly the same. The last show I attended was 2014.doctorjazz: Thanks, UM, dug the show!
