  1. at minimum many will receive death threats and harassment for years to come. some will probably have to uproot and move. possibly chlling effect on some future juries in terms of convictions. .
  2. Maybe, but as the judge noted: If I recall correctly, and I could be very wrong on this, Twitter's original legal team was part of Elon's purge when he took over. Again, the judge ripping them:
  3. This has already been mentioned in this thread. Still. https://www.politico.com/news/2023/08/15/special-counsel-obtained-trump-twitter-howell-00111410 It is befuddling to me that so many here continue to use that platform and repost items from it. The anti-LGBTQ stuff wasn't enough I guess. Making fun (rightly) of Elon and then continuing to essentially drive traffic to X seems a bit contradictory. While I'm at it, I wish some of you would start a Ron F thread so you can just repost all his stuff there. A good chunk of this thread seems to be let's re-tweet (re-X?) Ron F.
  4. I think I overall agree with you, and I don't care much what happens after I'm gone because I obviously won't know it. But I went through a cemetery the other day that had a lot of history to it, including a gold miner tragedy from a bygone era. Saw a family plot area where the last person was buried in 2007 but the oldest grave was from the 1800's. I don't know, kind of neat to have a line of history available for the living to view and think on. So maybe no burial but a plaque somewhere with dates. Just for whatever reason. I've always told the wife I'd like one of those memorial benches somewhere along a river or maybe beach park area.
  5. I didn't believe it was real. So I looked it up. Well, that's just great.
  6. Grass Valley/Nevada City a pretty area last time I was there. Yuba river quite the neat area to explore. This probably doesn't help you much in your decision. All CR talk aside, California is expensive. It just is. But sure, the Sierra Nevada foothills have four seasons. Parts of it got bombed pretty bad with snow this last winter though from my understanding. Like not getting out of your neighborhood snow.
  7. I am mostly there as well and I think yes, it’s age and the improvements in home setups. But even at home I encounter a problem with movies these days. They are all way too long.
  8. Explains them building those space lasers.
  9. I'm with you, but toss it on the pile. We have congress people using revenge porn tactics and showing dick picks at hearings. We have blatantly open corruption on the so-called Supreme Court. The governor of Texas is committing murder by drowning people including children. None of this is normal and all of this is the new normal.
  10. This won't be a popular opinion, But the DT "50 Cal to Ukraine" thread bothers the fuck out of me. The open bloodlust and eagerness to chip in to see death (and often from so-called liberals) when there are righteous causes right in Texan's back yard bothers me. Don't see a "let's go stop the drowning of migrants" thread somehow picking up so many willing 100 dollar donations. Or just about any humanitarian aid anywhere, including Ukraine. Send me videos of dead russian pawns instead. Additionally, and I've mentioned this before, I didn't see this kind of outcry over many other atrocious wars and acts, a decent amount of which the US did more than just let happen. Daily news on the horrors of the Russian v Ukrainian wars versus just about any other conclict, including the awful shit we did in the ME. As put by others: I'm sure this lumps me into some lazy 'both sides' replies, and a few negs. Which often makes me wonder if I fit in here at all. Oh well, I'll go back to laughing along with whatever happens to the orange faced gibbon. But I find the participation in that thread by some pretty damn awful.
  11. I recently read a book of essays by the late Barry Lopez. In one of the essays he pointed out that while there is a Holocaust museum in DC, there is no national museum dealing with Native American genocide. I don't think I knew 1/32nd of the amount of horrors we inflicted. Outside of some random college courses, it really isn't taught or acknowledged.
  12. video showing same thing.
  13. https://old.reddit.com/r/Jazz/comments/wrhml3/spotify_is_making_fake_jazz_artists/ https://www.musicbusinessworldwide.com/remember-spotify-fake-artist-theyre-still-going-strong-and-still-attracting-scandal/ This is apparently pretty old news that happens to be new to me. Fake artists all over those 'mood' playlists. So they don't have to pay out to real artists.
  14. This was one of those "duh, of course" things I can't help but think about now every time I read it. In front of my face all along, but with all the other bullshit I guess I didn't notice. Desantis story brought to my attention again. They have not been hiding who they are for some time now. We should not accept this behavior. Thank you for pointing it out.
  15. "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.
  16. She should not have put air quotes on "old."
  17. I always called Dylan Moore spy's boy.
  18. 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.
  19. whoa. seems out of nowhere. RIP. Edit: Didn't know about her son. Sorry for what she was going through.
  20. 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.
  21. Everytime I read the thread title, I hear "songs of freedom" in my head.
  22. fatty laughing at drowning migrants and their children confirms my reasons for putting on ignore. pretty vile.
