R.E.M. led me to believe I would feel better about this.

Imagine if you, your cronies, and your benefactors all had lots of money to play games in the stock market, and had the ability to manipulate the market into bust and boom swings, that would be wild, wouldn't it?

Watch HR 9495
“Under the bill, the Treasury secretary would issue notice to a group of intent to designate it as a “terrorist supporting organization.” Once notified, an organization would have the right to appeal within 90 days, after which it would be stripped of its 501(c)(3) status...
The law would not require officials to explain the reason for designating a group, nor does it require the Treasury Department to provide evidence."
Weaponized tax law, already looming.

This image is absolutely terrifying. Be safe y'all. GTFO if you are in the path.

Your circuit's dead, there's something wrong
Can you hear me, Dementia Don?
Can you hear me, Dementia Don?
Can you hear me, Dementia Don?"

I am again traveling the back roads of the rural deep south.
I am again reminded of my go-to saying for most towns I pass through.
"Well, sure, this town ain’t what it used to be, but then again, neither are you, buttercup."

Dear medical practices: Fuck you and your shitty online check ins. Teaching people to answer THOSE kind of questions at a random website from a link in a text message from a random phone number? FuuuUUUuuuck YooooUuuUu.

When I was a kid I figured out that if I wanted to know how the magician did a trick I shouldn't look where they pointed. Then I figured out that this didn't just apply to magicians, but to politicians, media, clergy, and more.
A whole bunch of folks have not figured this out.

Did a meat thing. Flank steak, marinated for several days in tawny port, then slow cooked in the smoker.
Was delightful, moist, sweet, and tender.

Stop anthropomorphizing billionaires.

OK, was it Microsoft or Audacity who fucked over the sound setup I had dialed in and working well for the last few years. I've ruled out Shure software and the mics.
I think we all know who shall be blamed, because Microsoft is in some kind of quality freefall.
