Bad actors are likely so far up our governments vast rectum that the full extent would give us all the heebie-Jeebies.
Definitely we should fire all the folks responsible for government security. Imagine the savings!
Well, let's be fair on that- rockets are notorious for blowing up a fair amount until they finally get everything to work dependably.
How many times did Werner von Braun’s Saturn V blow up prior to being approved for manned flight?

Springsteen , Dave Grohl and Zac Brown covering a classic.
Note: that they are not "booing" Springsteen at the beginning, they are chanting "Bruce".
And boy, does he shred!

An amazing studio video story of the complexity of this song. The things we don't know about music, and the studio side of life.

ENJOY !!!
Cool story.
The chance that he meets "ambitious financial and operational goals" is probably about nil.
Between the ketamine, weed and whatever else he imbibes, to control the depression and ADHD, I have doubts that he even lasts ten years.
Or he goes the w…
Half the time I cannot remember what I actually posted, or what I just thought about posting.

TBUX is still working for me. But, it carries some risk I-bonds are not too bad, but limited in the total amount annually.
I had a CD in the early 1980s that was paying 16%. Sad when that matured! lol

But, can't we blame the media for trump's utter lack of a filter. For his hateful steam of consciousness? For doing their job, and reporting what pulls the eyes to their content?
That is some great stuff! Thanks. "Reed performed alongside members of the Plastic People of the Universe at a 1999 state dinner for Havel at the White House."

Another great "story" from Robert Earl Keen. At the very end he says "Late April
'95". Which made me quite curious. It turns out that it refers to the Murrah Federal Building bombing. A true story of some young fellows who managed to pull off a sma…
"Sweet Jane" has been covered by several artists since it was released on Velvet Underground's "Loaded" album in 1970. One of my favorite versions is the one by the Cowboy Junkies.

Nice!
I can't sign-in to YouTube lately. Owned by Google. If I go to google to sign-in, a blank page appears. I must have blocked it. But you can never block them completely. Big Brother wants all of your shit. Every bit. Malwarebytes, CCleaner, Avira ant…

I have had to sign in regularly for a long time. I run a lot of cleaning apps, like CCleaner and Spybot, so my cookies and temp files are being wiped constantly.
if you cleaned cookies that might have done it. A password reset on Google would have…
For many years, I thought Willie Nelson wrote Pancho and Lefty. Until I coaxed a singer/songwriter in a Cocoa Beach bar to play it one night with a table full of empty beer bottles in front of me, and he set me straight. He is also the one who intro…
And I love Lou Reed! The Rock N' Roll Animal album is phenomenal.
Great live performance of Sweet Jane, it is going into my playlist.
Neil Gaiman's American Gods series had an excellent homage to Lou Reed. I highly recommend American Gods, if you…
IRT Foo Fighters, that was the plan.
I never listened to them until about 5 years ago. Now, both the wife and I are huge fans.
You start with Learning to Fly, then Times Like These and soon you are digging deeper! lol

if that has any meaning to a shameless gop.

We know that it will never make unsuccessful people "bett…
Not to be contrary, but I am certain that it was never that well considered, re: embarrassment. I feel that the opposite will occur. trump will see that the case gets no traction, unlike his prosecutions, and it will be an embarrassment to him and h…
Speaking of Steve Earle, this is getting more relevant daily:
Fun fact: Steve played the substance abuse counselor in The Wire. And his music was featured prominently.

Awesome "Not Fade Away Cover" - saving that one.

Great link. I knew that the situation was a bit dire, for TSLA. But, it may be worse than I thought.
The notion that TSLA shareholders should be excited about robotaxis and Optimus robots is comical. Look at all the exaggeration, delays and …
I have to wonder what, if anything, he really contributes to SpaceX. His contribution may be simply staying out of the way of actual experts.
I read that he insisted on a "pointy" Starship, as a juvenile nod to "The Dictator". Which is not desirab…
As the saying goes "Democracy is the worst form of government...except all the others".
It is full of quirks and warts and undesirable outcomes - MAGA being first and foremost!
I have not payed a great deal of attention to that race. And do not know much about Mamdani. I do assume that this is a deep rebuke of trump. He should be getting very nervous, as he appears to be driving the bus off of a cliff.
