You gotta take the long view!

Hmmm... why am I laughing?

Laughter, like comment, is free; crying uses up handkerchiefs.

If you want to understand the mindset of anti vaxxers who continue to refuse to get vaccinated against covid even as the virus ravages their ranks, you might want to look to Massachusetts. Here, the state Republican Party and Trump are gloating that they forced moderate, old style Republican incumb...

What all four have in common is the knee-jerk suspicion that all government and establishment-media narratives, all expert opinions are “propaganda.” This wariness is coupled, paradoxically, with a willingness to believe any “counternarrative,” no matter how dubiously sourced or implausible. The su...

So is the Supreme Court going to take the moderate path and just strike down Roe, or are they going to go after Griswold? Not much shade in the ever-shrinking penumbra. And what is the next big overturn? Most people I know are thinking Obergefell, but my money is on Sullivan.

Vintage stuff is a crap shoot. But hey it's free!. I'm happy to roll the dice on a Technics turntable owned and maintained by a mechanical engineer! It was all working fine the last time he turned it off. You can get a refoam kit for $15 on Ebay for the Quartet 50s. Give it a shot This stereo deser...

This is a beautiful system for which I don't think I can afford contemporary speakers unless I get mine reconed. This'll be in a smallish room, I'd say 15"x12". I'll fit the furniture around the speakers. What are you powering this with (make,model, preamp? Amp? Integrated?). Which speakers do you ...

Through no virtue of my own, I am about to own most of a really good stereo system, better than anything since I could go into the practice studio and crank it up the house sound. Better really, since I never did have a turntable in there. There's just one thing: No speakers. I was given a couple p...

I read the first two of Kim Stanley Robinson's Mars trilogy and let the third volume sit for a very, very long time--five years or so--and only picked it up because this interview with Robinson-- Kim Stanley Robinson on Science Fiction and Reclaiming Science for the Left --caught my interest hard. I...

I got your back (and your CDs) John A Arkansawyer. Glad you didn’t cut that guy last night!
27 is correct.
PM me

Will do!

Part of what got Patterson so royally, roundly pissed off last night at the guy who cold-cocked Chris (as though that wasn't enough to get him bounced) was that the guy was wearing a Muscle Shoals Sound t-shirt when he did it. In other news, everyone here is wearing a uniform and don't ever forget i...

No set list because I was right in front of Patterson and felt self-conscious, and because a buddy of mine taped the show. I'm told there were twenty-seven songs; I saw one asshole and helped finger him to be thrown out. My kid's doctor was right behind me. Neither Women Without Whiskey nor Zip City.

Just waiting for the show to begin and hoping for People Who Died.

Brass Against Frontwoman Pees on Willing Fan Onstage at Welcome to Rockville As the top comment on YouTube points out, they haven't sold a lot of albums, but they're doing well with streaming. And the fan was Trump, right? Dunno. But! I’ve been telling y’all marching band nerds will get WILD
