@mrbadger42 Oh no! Anyway…

@TheBreadmonkey It’s not actually a Kirk mask. It’s from a movie called The Devil’s Rain, I believe. Now excuse me while I push my glasses up the bridge of my nose in the nerdiest way possible.

@dgar I’m not sure that Rome made the conscious decision to end itself, but I could be wrong.

@gaijinmommy.bsky.social Buy that hero a cape.

@icastico @BluesHarp @Strandjunker Yeah, I see that now. I was spoutin’ off!

@tendstofortytwo tush.

@BluesHarp @Strandjunker Yeah. Seems a lot like me telling Harvard they can go ahead and ignore him. As I understand it, his proclamation and mine carry the same legal power.

Trump’s decision to ban Harvard University from enrolling international students as punishment for opposing him is like the behavior of an abusive husband toward his wife: he is systematically destroying her connection with the outside world.

He’s gone to the bathroom three times this hour. It’s been all I could do not to factory reset his whole setup.

@rbreich And let’s not forget the end of contempt of court…

Also, he’s taking up three seating areas to do it. One area is nothing but meds and eye drops on the counter. WTH, man? You’re giving old white men a bad name.

To the old man watching right-wing news clips on his computer at the coffee shop: Nobody likes you, dude.

@Swede1952 May I ask where you are? I ask because they are making appearances in far northern Minnesota for, as far as the old fellas around here know, a first.

@jvw @benda Oh, and you’re asking about my music too? While it isn’t tenor-centric, my new album is all over the place on every music streamer there is. If you wanted to give it a spin, you could listen either on Spotify (I know, but I need all the audience I can muster) or BandCamp has the album info more front and center. Just search my name or the album title Leaving Can’t Be Wrong.

My website adammoemusic.com has some solo stuff, so the tenor is right out front.

@jvw @benda The original tenors were actually banjo necks attached to small guitar bodies as I understand it. So they are WAY too narrow for me, but mostly because of my terrible mechanics. I’m pretty heavy on my left hand, and continually pulled the E off the edge of the board. So I had my guy base the width off my bari uke and it works like a charm.

As for tuning, I use d g b e - just a guitar sans two bass strings. Works for me.

@MissConstrue @arbres @Ask_aubry I know it’s not the same, but there were quite a lot of legal things last time I was in Austin - Delta 9 and the like. But I hear you on the pain meds. It’s why my wife made the change. She was afraid that rather than weening off (of a very small daily dose) someone would force her to go cold turkey. Every doctor visit became an inquisition, not because of her behavior but because of others. It was a stupid situation.

Best of luck, though!

@MissConstrue @arbres @Ask_aubry Have you tried medicinal marijuana? My wife stopped opioids and replaced them with weed, and it seems to be at least comparable.

Five. He’s signed five bills. The rest is noise. #uspol #fight #fascism

@benda Hey! Not sure there are a lot of "go-to" tenor recordings. The cats in the 50s used them a lot -- guys like Scatman Crothers and the like. Mostly I just play one because it's what I can do. I am a fiddle player, and when I ended my former music project during the 2020 shutdown, I needed to find a way to play so I could sing. Having learned strumming instruments by playing the uke, my muscle memory was such that I worried about those other two strings getting in the way. So I had a special tenor with a wider neck built for me and started woodshedding until I could confidently play out. Been doing it for four years now, and I'm not going back.

@lauren So this is the end, right? Seems like journalism should be checking on stuff before printing it?
