Re: Jeopardy clue

This is fantastic! I need more details. What was the category? Did anyone answer and/or answer correctly? I haven't caught Jeopardy in the past few weeks so I missed it but am thankful that you took time to mention it. The category was protest music. I, too, am wondering whether any of the contesta...

Re: RIP LBROD

The word that comes to mind for me when thinking about Rod is genuine, genuinely kind and generous, from his smile to his actions. I mentioned this on Facebook but not here till now: Rod and I were at a Patterson Hood show at a little town out in the middle of nowhere in December of 2016. When it w...

Re: The Neverending Thread for Political Shit

What happens if two sides get so far apart they don't even share an Overton window? If the far edges of what the two sides accept as reasonable opinion leave a great big gap between them? Aren't we there, or very close to it? If we're not, I'd hate to see what that actually looks like. I took a loo...

Re: Dexateens -lots of info here

Is there a Dexateens song with a verse or chorus ending "like the preacher loves his sin"? I hear a song in my head like that, and this is my best guess. That would be Coal Mine Lung from Red Dust Rising Thanks, man! I kinda thought it was from that one, but couldn't quite place it without reference.

If you drove south from the Bay Area to see a show near Rod's, you'd probably take this highway at least part of the way. I know I did:

Re: RIP LBROD

I’d like to know, as I’m sure others would, of an appropriate way in which to pay tribute to Rod. Memorial fund charity??? I haven't heard anything yet but will of course post here if/when I do. I've been trying to think of a charity or cause Rod supported, other than being a benighted libertarian....

Re: 2022 Homecoming Tickets Thread

Whereas I have spare tickets for Friday. Three of them. How did I come by three, you may ask? It's a very, very long story...anyways, please save me from hustling these to frat boys in front of the 40 Watt on a cold Friday night. I never wanted my life to end up like that, but here I am.

Re: The Neverending Thread for Political Shit

The supreme court’s abortion ruling is even more unsettling than it may seem In her dissent, Justice Sonia Sotomayor compared SB8 to the views of John C Calhoun – a nineteenth-century pro-slavery campaigner who argued that states have the right to nullify federal laws that they do not like.

Re: The Neverending Thread for Political Shit

I didn't know that the Democrats talk about "moocher" states in a formal, "official talking points" kind of way. I've understood it more as an expression of anger from certain parts of the wider population in certain geographic areas (sometimes including me) in reaction to equally moronic comments ...

Re: The Neverending Thread for Political Shit

This is a very worrisome analysis of why the Texas abortion law is so much worse than it appears:

It Goes Way Beyond Abortion

The thesis is that the mechanisms used in that law amount to a new Nullification method. It left me feeling quite bereft.

Re: The Neverending Thread for Political Shit

The Danger of Discussing ‘Maker and Taker’ States When Democrats talk about ‘moocher’ red states receiving more federal benefits than they give in federal taxes, they reveal their elitism and reinforce ‘welfare queen’ rhetoric. The concept of “moocher states” is about the most tone-deaf Democratic ...

one of those fairly rare instances where the movie is better than the book.
I have come to suspect this canard. Why? People forget bad books and remember bad movies. Assuming they read in the first place.
