Wow wow wow wow wow. Just wow.

Look at this gem someone captured in 1994. Steve Howe playing with the Les Paul trio at his club, and then jamming some blues with Les himself.

Just killer.

So many people that I follow are saying things like "now it's time to rebuild," "now we just have to move forward and work harder."

I can't. I won't. I'm too old. For my whole life it's been one step forward, 10 steps back the next election.

I just don't have the energy anymore.

@fmhilton There is no solution. The enemy is too well funded and too well organized.

Frankly, at this point, it just needs to collapse.

Been following people looking deeper at the voter demographic data, and we now have a very good idea on why the Dems lost.

@joeo10 @wallacewords Cool.

A friend traveling through Budapest Hungary sent me this cool postcard of the tail of a Zeppelin. No it's not that famous one that crashed in New Jersey, but they do say which one it is on the back and I'll post that info when I have it.

@botvolution That doesn't narrow it down much. 🙂

@joeo10 Like which ones?

@joeo10 Verizon is crippling that app so it won't work after November 14th or something.

When I got my first smart phone it used some app for texting. I forget the name. Then Verizon forced me to change to Message+. This ended up being fine because the first app was a little unstable.

Last night I got a message from Message+ that I needed to move over to Google Messages.

Criminy. Pick an app and use it for cryin out loud.

At least the transition to Google Messages was fairly instantaneous and smooth.

@joeo10 His What Sucks About Linux videos (and What's Great About Linux videos) that he would do yearly were really funny.

But he seems to have succumbed to that thing that Dennis Miller did after 9/11, and that Bill Maher seems to be succumbing to now. They start by believing one right wing talking point, and next thing you know they're down a rabbit hole.

@joeo10 I used to like Bryan, then I learned he was a nutcase.

OH NO! Actor James Darren passed away. If you were a DS9 fan you know him as Vic Fontaine, one of the great characters on the show.

RIP

@joeo10 @ParadeGrotesque Yes. Great reasons to avoid. Thanks!

I'm looking for a decent CHEAP Android tablet. Are the Amazon Fire tablets decent? I know that Fire OS is a fork of Android, but is it just full of Amazon ads and stuff?

Basically I'd like ot find a 10 inch tablet with somewhere around HD resolution for around $100.

Any suggestions?

@joeo10 Truth.

I just saw a Cyberfuck... I mean truck.

@joeo10 One o fmy favorite shows, Northern Exposure, had ALL of the music taken out (radio type music) and replaced with canned CRAP for the DVD release. I just don't enjoy watching them.

So I just went onto Peacock and called up SNL, and the episode (2/9/1985) where Bryan Adams played the clam in the middle of RUN TO YOU is there, but the musical performances aren't there. Just the sketch comedy.

I suspect the musical artist can keep you from showing their music on shows like SNL if they want to. But I'd be curious to know why it isn't there, in case it's a reason different than the one I am suspecting.

@joeo10 @jacobrealo That's the big for-profit one? My friend Matt and I were going to go (his dime) but we never did. People post the panels though and I watch them.
