    True all around. I was back by the soundboard as I wasn’t interested in getting there early to get a front view. The fact it wasn’t sold out, while not so great for the band, was great for me because sometimes they cram people in like sardines. Not my favorite venue. Stage set and lights were cool, but I was getting a very “Stonehenge” vibe from her getting in and out of the giant scallop shell.

    I don’t know anything about this band but I like to think the clam shell was inspired by this.

    Saw L.A. Witch with Daiistar last night at Mississippi Studios in PDX.

    This was my third time to see L.A. Witch and will probably be my last.  It seems like every performance has less energy than the previous one.  The difference in bands was stark.  Daiistar brought it and had everybody bouncing.  Really fun band.  I'm sure y'all there in ATX are familiar with them but it was my first time to see them.  Reminded me of a 90's Manchester band.

    Does doctoring not involve reading, understanding, and interpreting medical opinions and studies, and being able to discern a good study from a poor one from propaganda?

    I’ve met several doctors that are incomprehensibly incompetent at technology.

    I’m certain my previous endocrinologist retired because of the introduction of software in the evaluation, recording and treatment process.

    My wife got her executive MBA, and one of her classmates, a surgeon, didn’t know how to check email. He was not an old.

    So my wife and I had our long-awaited sit-down with my parents this weekend. It went... not bad? 

    My mother actually apologized for her vote. My dad admitted he should have at least left president blank if nothing else, and has finally realized Dan Patrick and Ken Paxton are clowns who he has vowed not to support.

    There was some defensiveness from my dad about immigration that remains pretty nonsensical, but they agreed with things like deportation being out of control, January 6th and pardons being a really bad thing (still don't see how they overlooked this in November), healtchare and education gutting being scary, foreign policy being absurd. It doesn't absolve them of their votes, but I have hope that they have been nursing the kool-aid slow enough that they may be salvagable.

    Somehow we didnt even really touch on the economy, which would usually be a place they'd want to direct the conversation, so I'm guessing they're none too thrilled about that.

    How much of this was them capitulating so they can see their grandkids more? Perhaps a little. But they didn't roll over entirely or immediately, and my mother is not able to mask or manipulate her emotions, so I think there was real sincerity with much of what they said.

    The only contrition that satisfies me is attending a minimum of five protests carrying a sign that says “I voted for Trump. I was wrong.”

    A public display of contrition is the only path to forgiveness.

    Get your ass on the street, Dad. Document it. Because I want to show you that video when you fall for the bullshit fake crisis that gets manufactured every Oct in even numbered years.

    My dad has meekly said “I should’ve paid more attention”. He’s at the end of the road and in failing health. Otherwise, I’d make him do this. He’s leaving his family with a shitshow.

    I see reports Sec Def Pete having confidential/classified discussion on signal in a group that included his family. 

    I think I need to get on signal, and maybe I can get the early word & some inside skinny.

    I saw that too. I wonder how this was leaked because I think it was just his family on the chat. On second thought, his family probably hates him too so they probably leaked it.

  7. I grew up in norman, and one of my neighbors was killed in the bombing. I was in the 9th grade, and our neighborhood was pretty close knit. Many evenings he, his wife, their kids, other parents and other neighborhood kids would just hang around outside on the street chatting, riding bikes, playing hoops.

    I haven’t been to the memorial or museum. I need to do that soon. I’ve been to the 9/11 museum, and it was very powerful.
