Wow, if there's any truth to this, we should probably open up all the government's files on child trafficking and pedophile rings and their powerful protectors

Todays song is Hard Time Killin' Floor Blues by Skip James. First recorded in 1931, here performed in 1967. James voice alone can break your heart. From the generation of classic Delta Blues players (b.1902), his ethereal voice gave his work a unique, uncannily modern sound. youtu.be/DoBxzb-8oPc?...

If Dolly's passing leaves a final lesson for these times, I think it's that you can and should live your life in a way that makes people sad when you leave the world.

I filled my Prius Prime Hybrid with gasoline for the first time this year. It cost me $5.859 per gallon. Thats... freaking expensive.

“You said the 2020 election was rigged by either Venezuela or China. When you called that fella in Georgia pleading for 11,780 votes, was that part of the rigging, or part of the 6-year investigation? Just one more thing, sir, who was president while all this rigging took place?”

Celebrating the anniversary of our nation’s independence from a monarchy while Trump is in office feels kinda like getting a Facebook notification for a birthday of a friend who’s dead.

I'm a bit creeped out that the stabilizing diagonal rods did not show up at the Kennedy Center in time to place them when erecting each layer. Rock and Roll roadies would never take that stupidity. And they would have had this whole thing up in 90 minutes.

The workers building the scaffolds at the Kennedy Center are going to be so pissed when they discover they could have just removed the lettering by pulling the 3M Command strips.

The number of Supreme Court Justices was set to 9 in 1869. Given population growth, that would be just over 79 Justices today. The thought of raising the raising the number to 13 or 21 seems... conservative.

And it wouldn't even lead to lower prices at the pump! Here's the legendary @pkrugman.bsky.social writing in 2000.
Now suppose that we were to cut gasoline taxes. If the price of gas at the pump were to fall, motorists would buy more gas. But there isn't any more gas, so the price at the pump, inclusive of the lowered tax, would quickly be bid right back up to the pre-tax-cut level. And that means that any cut in taxes would show up not in a lower price at the pump, but in a higher price paid to distributors. In other words, the benefits of the tax cut would flow not to consumers but to other parties, mainly the domestic oil refining industry. (As the textbooks will tell you, reducing the tax rate on an inelastically supplied good benefits the sellers, not the buyers.)

There are a surprising number of people in politics + media who don't understand that nuclear launch authority rests solely with POTUS. Trump doesn't need clearance from Congress or the courts. Even preemptively. All that stands between him and nuclear war are military refusing to follow his orders.

If Artemis is going up then it gives me an excuse to once again post this photo, the only one to contain every human being in the universe but one.
Michael Collins, the chap who took this photograph, remains the only person on earth to have taken a photo that had everyone in shot aside himself.

Well, another complaint on Nextdoor. This time they are miffed about the party Apple threw for their 50th Anniversary. They live close enough to the "Spaceship" that they were forced to listen to Paul McCartney do a set of songs. Their house is likely $100,000+ more valuable due to Apple. Dang.

I just took a vacation that travelled from New Orleans to Atlanta. We visited and stayed in small towns in Louisiana, Mississippi, Alabama, and Georgia. In all those miles, all those days, I did not see a single MAGA red hat. Not one.
