Not even to find out that when your warranty expires you may be responsible for the cost of repairs?

The politicians there are a whole 'nother level of scary.
I'll take rampaging drunks in racist body paint any day.

Unprepared piano. I’m picturing him sneaking up on it and playing before it’s ready. Seems a little unethical, really.

Useless. Worse, actually. It gets your hopes up.

Got me thinking about squirrel soup via John McPhee’s Travels in Georgia from Pieces of the frame.
Amazing how fast the mind can jump through connections.
If I recall, the essay mentions roadkill, and the first time I had squirrel, my friend had hit one with his car & made soup in the dorm.

Is that the same Spin Magazine that said Scraping Teeth were the worst band in America?

Didn't they halt Medicaid and Medicare payments for telehealth, then private insurance followed?

I'll go along with that since The Minutemen's Ain't Talkin Bout Love is the better one.

I always got him confused with Bobby Sheehan. Sure, Blues Traveller was at their best when he was alive and he was pretty good, but I never saw why people got all worked up about him.

The one not on Dick's Picks is short and not very interesting. I'd've wanted it out too.

I saw him a while back. A woman in the second row yelled "play something we know!" loud enough for me to hear up in the balcony. The next song was about the only one not on Rough and Rowdy Ways - a Puttin on the Ritz-ed version of When I Paint my Masterpiece.

Just as I was thinking that humans couldn’t get any stupider, someone has come up with a way to automate increasing the stupidity.

He was appalled by the examination system, when it was explained to him, he could not imagine a greater deterrent to the natural wish to learn than this pattern of cramming in information and disgorging it on demand.

It's always easier not to think for oneself. Find a nice safe hierarchy and settle in. Don't make changes, don't risk disapproval, don't upset your syndics. It's always easiest to let yourself be governed.

A Massive Climate Resilience Project Escapes Florida’s DOGE Purge - Truthdig Ron DeSantis is slashing government spending, but the Sunshine State can’t afford to abandon its climate adaptation fund.

When it comes to government spending, Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis is taking a cue from the Trump administration.
