  1. Put them in charge of the Nato Mess. Let them play to their strengths
  2. Loving Vs Virginia was '67... I think that's about where the dismal tide turns. But hey, owning humans might be in vogue again!
  3. all these years we've been doing it wrong... Slap her with some bloody pelts https://www.npr.org/2011/02/14/133693152/the-dark-origins-of-valentines-day From Feb. 13 to 15, the Romans celebrated the feast of Lupercalia. The men sacrificed a goat and a dog, then whipped women with the hides of the animals they had just slain. The Roman romantics "were drunk. They were naked," Noel Lenski, now a religious studies professor at Yale University, told NPR in 2011. Young women would line up for the men to hit them, Lenski said. They believed this would make them fertile. The brutal fete included a matchmaking lottery in which young men drew the names of women from a jar. The couple would then be, um, coupled up for the duration of the festival — or longer, if the match was right. The ancient Romans may also be responsible for the name of our modern day of love. Emperor Claudius II executed two men — both named Valentine — on Feb. 14 of different years in the third century. Their martyrdom was honored by the Catholic Church with the celebration of St. Valentine's Day.
  4. So Putin could shoot him in the face in Time Square?
  5. What do you think Musk has on him?
  6. Just got back from Drive By Truckers Southern Rock Opera. Had Vip seats (felt like a real asshole and paid for it) Got hit in the forehead 2/2 times with a pick thrown by Patterson. Recovered 1/2 pics. Fucking great show... but again felt like an asshole for the VIP seating IMHO it harshed the overall concert vibe. They closed with Rocking in the Free World. My ears are still ringing! As part of the VIP package they had a sound check experience. Basically the band played 4 songs before general admission... here's a pic from the bar during "sound check" Among the songs they played were "Lookout Mountain" and "3 dimes down" for the sound check (two of my favorite songs) TL/DR If you get a chance to see them live. Fucking do it.
  7. If a product is free, you are the product. I know that you get this simple concept. By continuing to engage on the platform you are providing your views (unique impressions), data, and content for monetization by the platform in exchange for content from others and access to the platform. If a platform does not provide content or interactions desired by users, they leave > ad purchasers leave > content providers leave. I'm sure that you don't want to talk about that transaction so you're deflecting.
  8. Vote with your feet. It is the basis of economics and the freemarket. Progressive mindset indeed. Leaving is a small but important act that will help DE platform heinous content. If the eyes leave the ad dollars will follow. That sort of content should be the third rail that no one would want to be associated with. Honestly I think much less of folks that are still on twitter. They either don't get it or don't care.
  9. Yeah, I saw that one. I was talking about reporting on young children getting detained on a bus or at school. Nothing shocks me after the child separation and caging at the border. But I'm trying to be very leery of clickbait outrage fuel.
  10. Well, Jimi didn't really need to write any new songs. He'd just take other songs and dial it up 10 and improvise all over it. Switching gears Kurt Cobain. Yeah I could use a few more Nirvana Albums
  11. Yeah I think we need a link to a news article. I wouldn't be surprised, but I've got enough shit to get wound up about based on the interwebs.
  12. Sounds like the new sex ed curriculum
  13. So only changed the world once... what a jerk! Still would have loved to see what would have happened with him.
  14. you read those? I thought HH settled on SRV. Don't get me wrong, I love SRV, but Jimi was the man, would have been amazing to see how he would mature and change over time.
  15. Now imagine you're the FDA's main man on yogurt
  16. I'm gonna check them out this year.. Just gotta figure out when/where. Love their stuff
  17. They're probably pretty psyched about getting pardons, idk
