  1. Within the US I'm very happy with where I am after having left Texas. Love it. But, not being Surly elite, there is always the possibly of lose everything my wife and I have with some kind of long term medical issue as we age. That's the reason I would leave--Universal Healthcare. I'd gladly give up a decent amount of tax money for it as well. And I don't think it is ever happening here. The distinct possibility of being destitute as an elderly citizen due to medical costs scares me. However, I'm an older person with younger children. I know I'm here at least through their high school years. So after that, I'm much close to retirement age than go to a foreign country and work age. So most likely going down with the ship and working like hell to stay as healthy as possible.

  3. Also, front page of the Onion right now is in its own way impactful. Multiple columns and locations with their "No way to Prevent this" meme.
  4. Don't really know this dude, but I like his thoughts on the matter. https://www.thedailybeast.com/ruben-gallego-rips-nra-and-gop-after-school-slaughter-fuck-you-ted-cruz-and-fuck-your-prayers?ref=home
  5. Actually, they would say "Pick up your damn clothes" and "HAVE YOU DONE YOUR HOMEWORK YET"
  6. Very tangentially related, but I've been going down a youtube rabbit hole of skateboarding videos lately. Soundtracks tend to be hip hop, punk/metal, and it seems lately a lot of just alternative type stuff. This is a part from a much longer video. Found it interesting they chose Sun Ra
  7. I don’t have this version but this album gets played every Sunday. My kids know it as “Dad’s pancake making music.”
  8. about 1/2 way through Kendrick's new one. not grabbing me yet but as I've mentioned before it may take me a while to 'get it.' But it seemed "DAMN" just hit me immediately. This one might be in the 'grower' category for me.
  9. Interesting read here on it: https://theatlantaobjective.substack.com/p/ysl-faces-the-music?s=r Musically, I am somewhat familiar with Young Thug and Gunna. Had no Idea about their gang stuff because I don’t keep up with that kind of thing.
  10. Grabbed some Blue Note classics recently. They're both good, but in terms of which one I'm spinning more, its the Bud Powell. The trio is in pretty great form.
  11. Oh I get it. I guess I'm just grateful. It took me nearly 4 years to make it happen. Sorry if it came across as arrogant. Also, as much as I love it here, I'm afraid with the eventual nationwide ban that staying within the US isn't moving far enough.
  12. I wish those of you 'left behind' the best, but I'm afraid we're just a tad bit beyond that point in the horror movie where you are yelling at the screen for the dummies to just get out of the house.
  13. A thread on reddit brought this one to my attention. I had no idea this happened last year. Criminalizing a woman for suffering a miscarriage seems unfathomable and even barbaric. But that is exactly what happened earlier this month in a Lawton, Okla., courtroom.

  15. Also, "pro life" indeed....
  16. Newsweek story on it. https://www.newsweek.com/death-penalty-abortions-becomes-pivotal-issue-gop-runoff-texas-1692240 Just fucking wow. I am so glad I left that State and my daughter will grow up away from all that shit.
  17. I disagree with the title, as I think America has been 'torn apart' for some time. That said, I do think we're very close to a legal Civil War of sorts. https://www.nytimes.com/2022/05/06/opinion/roe-abortion-culture-war.html
  18. Sorry if it wasn't clear enough. Here's more context. https://www.commondreams.org/news/2022/05/05/sanders-blasts-senates-strange-priorities-it-advances-corporate-welfare

  20. 1. TIL the word "bedlamite" 2. Eat the rich. 3. There's nobody to root for here.
  21. May I say that last sentence was truly great and I fully intend to steal it.
  22. Fair enough, I wasn't sure on it, so hesitated to possibly be promoting something false. Felt the idea of the tweet overall was worth it.
  23. Yeah, I hate that I'm going to visit friends and family in Texas this summer and contribute at all economically to that State. But that being said, when they go after this on a Federal level in a few years things will sure get interesting.
