  1. "songs played on the radio" is another indicator of old* by the way. This complaint has been levied by seemingly every generation ever. Which I think makes it an old compaint. *I'm old but I could not tell you what is being played on mainstream radio in any genre.
  2. She should not have put air quotes on "old."
  3. I always called Dylan Moore spy's boy.
  4. https://www.allaboutjazz.com/evenings-at-the-village-gate-john-coltrane-impulse-records https://www.jazzwise.com/review/john-coltrane-eric-dolphy-evenings-at-the-village-gate-john-coltrane-with-eric-dolphy I'm a sucker for just about anything these dudes did. As noted, it is a singular mic recording so for me the bass (and there are two bass players) disappears most of the time quite often. But Coltrane/Dolphy/Jones are on fire. The playing outdoes the sound quality imo. Is on all the streaming services.
  5. whoa. seems out of nowhere. RIP. Edit: Didn't know about her son. Sorry for what she was going through.
  6. Been reading some obits and tributes this morning. Seems he was the exception to 'only the good die young.' I had no idea he was a serious painter by the way. What an impressive life he seemed to live. RIP.
  7. Everytime I read the thread title, I hear "songs of freedom" in my head.
  8. fatty laughing at drowning migrants and their children confirms my reasons for putting on ignore. pretty vile.
  9. While I'm at it (and this is more lower class than middle, but still): https://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2023/jul/24/us-federal-minimum-wage-rev-william-barber
  10. Whether you are pro or anti-Bernie ( I feel he is a lonely voice shouting against the winds) $886 billion for the Pentagon is so ludricious.
  11. Everthing WhatTheBuck wrote was correct and that was just the tip of the iceberg. How many members of PNAC would have been in the Gore administration? There is no right thread for you to continue this nonsense.
  12. Henry Kissinger is doing just fine. Pat Robertson died rich and at a fine old age. W/Cheney seem allright. Have you heard the aphorism "only the good die young?"
  13. Oh man why did I let myself get sucked back into this? Him writing “ideology ahead of returns” makes me feel like that newscaster in Scanners.
  14. This one got a lot of play at one point.
  15. I somewhat get what you're saying, but Hunter is not an elected official and the hearing was allegedly about the IRS.
  16. Similar to my sentiments on the open corruption of the SC, I do feel like there was a time where this kind of thing would have caused real outrage and she would have been booted. Now it is shrug and move on to the next ridiculous thing. A congressperson waving dick picks in public for revenge should have repercusssions. But it won't. It feels beyond surreal.
  17. I heard that line my whole life it seems. Turns out there are places where a moderate amount of snow and occasionally shoveling your driveway beats not wanting to go outside for 6 months out of the year. Personal preference of course. Perhaps eventually this isn’t true, but as it stands now the choice doesn’t have to be blast furnace versus Arctic blizzard. There are still some nice four season in betweens out there.
  18. You mentioned the 80s series. One that really messed with me from that run was called “need to know.” I had to google the plot to find the episode name. Frances McDormand was in it but at the time I wouldn’t know her name.
  19. Now the rapture folks want to kill you first just to make sure. we are the smartest people. https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2023/jul/16/chris-gloninger-tv-weather-man-climate-crisis
  20. Gen Xer who was raised believing that God wouldn't let man destroy the earth unless Jesus raptured all us believers and who cares then because heaven was going to be awesome! So I didn't worry about nuclear war because that would be silly.
  21. I am obviously very behind the times. I'm sorry to read of his passing, he was a nice poster.
  22. I should have read the thread quicker, sorry. Yeah explained here: https://www.thedailybeast.com/how-qanon-became-obsessed-with-adrenochrome-an-imaginary-drug-hollywood-is-harvesting-from-kids Not just Hunter. Monster's inc as well. And yeah, it was pretty obvious Hunter was making that stuff up. But then these people believe things like this: Hunter lives....
  23. I'm pretty out of the loop. Did they really watch (I know they didn't read the book) Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas and come up with a conspiracy theory based off of it?
  24. Wound up getting this and putting away the apple watch.
  25. Somewhat this. I am over 50, but have been in the IT/tech world for a long...well I'm over 50. I'm also pretty convinced social media and our slot machine phones are the devil. Battling it with my kids these days. The addictive nature of all this shit is unreal. Now to browse surly while being a hypocrite.
