  1. Some yada yada’s just mean more. Example: this type of non-venomous snake eats pests.
  2. Counselor Dude. When Jerry’s in red, there’s trouble ahead. Perhaps you can spend your Garcia thought time meditating on Dylan’s takes on Garcia. ”There’s no way to measure his greatness or magnitude as a person or as a player. I don’t think eulogizing will do him justice. He was that great – much more than a superb musician with an uncanny ear and dexterity. He is the very spirit personified of whatever is muddy river country at its core and screams up into the spheres. He really had no equal. To me he wasn’t only a musician and friend, he was more like a big brother who taught and showed me more than he’ll ever know. There are a lot of spaces and advances between the Carter family, Buddy Holly and, say, Ornette Coleman, a lot of universes, but he filled them all without being a member of any school. His playing was moody, awesome, sophisticated, hypnotic and subtle. THERE’S NO WAY to convey the loss. It just digs down really deep.” So, enough with invoking a blushing Garcia.
  3. (Please move this to the appropriate thread; I apologize, I couldn’t fucking find it). Austin Pride Parade news today: Austin Pride president Micah Andress told KXAN that Palestinian flagsare “absolutely allowed” at the events and that the organization is “dedicated to fostering a space of love and unity where everyone is welcome.” “Our mission has always been to create a safe and inclusive environment for celebration,” Andress said. So ironic, wouldn’t you say? Given Palestinian antipathy for gay and queer and trans folk, do you get me? Austin’s pride parade will absolutely allow this flag which seeks to exterminate the LGBTQ+ kind. Palestinian fuckoids get their meeting, and still shit all over the furniture. Fuck them. Let them vote R. Let them strike another self immolation match.
  4. Sad news out of Utah, with thirteen books being officially banned from their school system. Apparently, this is the first state with a state-wide ban. Here is the list of censored titles: "A Court of Thorns and Roses" by Sarah J. Maas "A Court of Frost and Starlight" by Sarah J. Maas "A Court of Mist and Fury" by Sarah J. Maas "A Court of Silver Flames" by Sarah J. Maas "A Court of Wings and Ruin" by Sarah J. Maas "Empire of Storms" by Sarah J. Maas "What Girls are Made of" by Elana K. Arnold "Milk and Honey" by Rupi Kaur "Forever" by Judy Blume "Tilt" by Ellen Hopkins "Fallout (Crank, Book 3)" by Ellen Hopkins "Oryx and Crake" by Margaret Atwood "Blankets" by Craig Thompson Milk and Honey is a book of poetry. All those who vote, or support, this censorship should go home and throw out all their literature, all their music, and all their films. They have no right to art of any kind. Fuck them. And cornhole that bitch in Westlake. (Note. Tried to c/p two different links, but no luck).
  5. “Keep passing the open windows.”
  6. While I value your perspective, the current members of SCOTUS are in the bag for bozo. That does worry me.
  7. Dude hitting that WR pole vault was bad ass.
  8. This far out, the polls mean nothing, and you have your voting suppression and whispers about refusing to certify elections to keep your mind busy. Stay on task, soldier.
  9. Okay, I am a fan of her, too.
  10. I love Simone Biles and am surprised to learn other folks don’t. I don’t get @Bevo’s beef. I remember Olga and Nadia, et al. Biles is in another universe.
  11. Brother lives in South Bend. On the golf course today, he had a conversation that makes him think Mayor Pete will be the pick. I guess we will see.
  12. Fasted for a blood draw, and afterwards thought I’d splurge and try a Sonic ssmashburger. Was told mine was the first that particular Sonic had sold. Three patties, melted cheese, jalapeños. It was good, but not Short Stop good, much less Dan’s good.
  13. I don’t follpw your logic. Reclassifying weed to whatever catagory ketamine is in isn’t the same thing as legalizing it. Lots of talk about GOTV among younger citizens. Legalization would do that.
  14. Page 420, and still wondering why the Democrats aren’t promising to legalize weed.
  15. Not that post. This one: Again, try using your words to explain why you think what you do. Edit: Check out the Zappa interview. Lofton made similar claims anout Zappa’s understanding of events and their meaning amd the future consequences. He was as wrong as you were, when you clamed new Texas laws would not put women with problem pregnancies at risk.
  16. Rex, you are entitled to your opinion. This isn’t meant to call you out. I linked the interview because Lofton relied on insults to counter Zappa’s argument, while Zappa laid out his belief the US was heading towards theocratic autocracy, while supporting his belief with facts. At the very least, Zappa saw that US citizens would lose (by SCOTUS fiat(!)) the right to privacy and to control their lives through family planning. (And, if you’re truly listening, I suggest you learn more about Peter Thiels’ goals, as he is underwriting Vances’ VP nomination as heir apparent. https://www.vanityfair.com/news/2022/04/inside-the-new-right-where-peter-thiel-is-placing-his-biggest-bets ) While Lofton looks like a tool in hindsight, he had every opportunity to explain why he thought Zappa was nuts. Not doing so relegates his counter argument to history’s shitter. Sure, I’ve labeled @Anastasis a narcissist, and @fattyflattie a psycho, hut I made sure to tell them why, (with receipts.) Just as you claim, Rex, I hope for a discussion. If you, (as well as Ana, Flatty, et al) are posting what you believe and feel, without explanation, then you really have no room to belittle other folks beliefs. Especially @Brisketexan, who does explain why he thinks as he does.
  17. Still not caught up on this thread, SIAP, but @Rex Kramer and @Anastasis take on @Brisketexan posts reminded me of a 1986 Crossfire show when Frank Zappa and John Lofton discissed censorship. Rax and Ana are as ostrich as Lofton. https://archive.org/details/FrankZappaOnCrossfire
  18. The maga hat on the twitter poster might be a clue.
  19. Fentanyl laced water? Seems fucky. First return on a search is the debunked claim roadside workers, while on the job, are being handed drugged water by passersby in various parts of the country. So, this is a disinfo thing. https://apnews.com/article/fact-check-roadside-workers-fentanyl-water-death-hospital-055756958902
  20. Without argument, I was referring to azbadlands.
