Except bone spurs...
"Blind man wavin’ by the side of the road I’m in a flat bed Ford carrying a heavy load With a sweet thing sippin’ on a blueberry wine On a flat black highway down in Carolina Black bird slippin’ in a sky of blue All I’m thinkin’ about is you, baby..."
To be honest we have to ask the question - was he really qualified to be Superman, or was he just a DEI hire? (Am I doing this right, Dean?)
We saw the trailer, and my daughter said, "Is this the live action remake of Cars?"
I'm sure Jake Tapper is preparing a book on how it reflects badly on Biden.
A teenage diplomat? (With a madman drummer and an Indian in the summer...)
Thank you 🙂 I'm just finishing reading it, and it is definitely a good book.
So you're saying she used dynamic pricing in 2019, 2020, 2021 and 2022?
Just looking at global box office for that year (which Google says wasn't a great year). It was 89th highest grossing film, ahead of Rounders, He Got Game, Hard Rain, Little Voice, Replacement Killers...
Why isn't Vance pointing out that under Trump and himself WW2 wouldn't have happened? According to them the response to Pearl Harbour should have been to cede some territory to the Japanese.
Montgomery's reply when the Germans asked to negotiate: "Firstly, you must surrender to me unconditionally...If you do not agree to Point 1, the surrender, then I will go on with the war and I will be delighted to do so. All your soldiers and civilians may be killed."
100%. I absolutely love this song.
Has anyone checked in with the NRA? They said they needed weapons in case the government deployed the military against the population. They must be about to respond any second now...?
This should never be forgotten: liveforlivemusic.com/news/atlanti...
Or is it that, as you are a decent person, the song is just articulating where you would have got to anyway?
Yes - we've grown up knowing, "You're gonna need a lot of information to know what it is you're gonna wanna do." 🙂
In my experience the full on MAGAs tend to shout about I'm on Fire and Bruce supposedly being a 'Commie'. I had a hilarious 'debate' with a guy who said he was morally opposed to Bruce as he is a 'draft dodger'. Of course, the guy's header image was Trump. Cognitive Dissonance much?
Is the 50% figure just an assumption, based on the idea that people tend to lean more right as they get older? I remember a terrifying stat that the biggest demographic voting for Dubya in 2004 was the Woodstock generation.
If you delve into the comments section of a video on Facebook or YouTube, there is a subset of people saying they go to see him despite his politics. It never seems to be more than 10% or so. Although people might be keeping quiet because they are outnumbered.
I’m sorry to say but the claim that the US under Trump is going to provide Ukraine with militarily enforced security guarantees, is simply the newest version of the Trump will hit Russia hard with sanctions delusion. Neither will ever happen, but if it makes you feel better….
That's alright then. Because the Constitution saying he has no power to impose tariffs on foreign nations or deprive people of liberty without trial has definitely stopped him doing those things.
@explodingheads.bsky.social We were laughing last night in the pub during the Leeds-Everton game, when the commentator said that David Moyes knows the club. Laughed even more when one of the regulars said, but they've got a new ground and different players...
Countin' on a Miracle: "I’m runnin’ through the forest With this wolf at my heels My king is lost at midnight When the tower bells peal."
Congratulations, Skye.
This.
He also has no power to impose tariffs or to have people picked up off the street and detained without charge l. Yet those things are happening. Who is actually going to stop him doing this?
The guy who claims he has a 90% approval rating fired the government statistician who keeps employment numbers because he doesn’t agree that her numbers are honest.
By 1945 Hitler only travelled around Germany at night so he didn't see the destruction across the country, and could pretend it wasn't happening.
The Incredible Hulk instead of Ian Ogilvy for us in Yorkshire. I'll take that. Then a break for milk and Sport biscuits for Elvis Costello and Ian Dury.
If there was ever a time for this meme
Hitler Jugrok?
That happened years ago - after he talked about walking into the Miss Teen USA dressing rooms so he could see the contestants naked.
@jaketapper.bsky.social I guess you are going to be all over this, any minute know right?
The earliest known Bob Dylan lyric.
So that's what go woke, go broke means.
It gets funnier. She then tried to deny there was a vote about releasing the files. And got community noted for it.
@trekkiesoph.bsky.social just wanted to say hello and see how you are doing today.
True, Bruce tends to go from bleakness to hope (or at least a Reason to Believe), rather than the other way round.
Totally off topic, but I've never been sure if Seeds says: kids (plural) Or kid's (singular) If singular, is the family in Seeds the same family who thought about headin' south in My Hometown?
I am a big fan of your content, but why are legitimising this by pretending it is something worthy of discussion?
The Constitution also grants no power to send people to foreign prisons without trial, or for the President to impose tariffs. Yet here we are.
And another leader said Break their hearts and break some heads.
The Constitution says Trump has exactly zero authority to apply these tariffs. Yet everyone is just going along with it as if he has.
Or at least until after Ukrainian generals - big, strong men, with tears in their eyes - say, sir, thank you for restarting the weapons deliveries...
As well as the fascism, Grok is also following the AI trend of being utterly, utterly wrong. As every historian knows, the Nazi regime was a bloated bureaucracy with poor supply lines and Hitler was often paralysed by self-doubt.
We are days from a, "nobody knew Putin was a bad guy." aren't we?
Little gun down town in front of Woolworths?
Outside my hotel in Barking yesterday evening #FoxOfTheDay.
Johnny and Betty? "At sixteen she quit high school To make a fortune in the promised land She got a job behind the counter In an all-night hamburger stand She wrote faithfully home to Mama Now Mama don't you worry none From small things Mama, big things one day come."
Those leopards are guaranteed at least 77 million faces, if they get started now.
And Edward Woodward on the boys team.

@jaketapper.bsky.social
Brian Blessed and Kate O'Mara on Call My Bluff must have been something.
It's good to see that the deputy leader of Durham County Council is focusing on local issues.
The guy from Shut Out the Light? The runway rushed up at him, and he felt the wheels touchdown. He stood out on the blacktop, and took a taxi into town...
It's meant to be a recreation of one of his shows at the Meadowlands Arena in July 1981. Born to Run was one of the encores 🤷♂️
I've got a joke about redecorating, but I don't like it.
My only concern is, that if the packaging keeps getting exponentially bigger, will Tracks 3 fit through my door?
I'll give that a listen shortly.
Bread Man Walking?
Royal Mail injected some drama by sending an email saying it would arrive today, then one saying tomorrow, and another one saying today. But....
On the Tracks 2 mini-doc #Springsteen says that during COVID he finished everything in his archive. Yet in the Rolling Stone interview the other day he discovered that Electric Nebraska was in the archive, after saying it wasn't. So clearly not finished everything 🤔
Exactly, people might go for no reason, but they aren't going to sit there for 8.5 hours for no reason.
... adverts for the event anywhere? The lady said she'd Googled it. However, she'd just looked at the AI summary at the top of the page, so an AI said an AI was correct 🤷♂️
Actually, the worry is people not thinking things through. There was a big argument on a FB page this morning. A lady was adamant it was real. People were asking why no newspaper had covered it, why it wasn't on Springsteen or Baez's website or socials, why no clips on YouTube, why are there no..
True. It's worrying what AI will be able to generate in a couple of years time.
I know it is, because I know some people who were watching him in Prague on that date 🙂. But, if you look closely, there's a few giveaways. How is Bruce's guitar hanging without a strap? Guitar strings don't do that. Plus, AI isn't good with text - look at the name on the guitar headstock.
I wouldn't worry about it, those AI generated images of an event that didn't happen. Springsteen was performing in Prague when those images supposedly happened.
It seems to be some weird masochistic thing from the right leaning pages. They post a fake story, and lots of MAGAs get really angry about the thing that didn't happen 🤷♂️
Exactly, if it's a real event - why are there no photos?
It's hard to tell what the correct date is, though. Mainly because the official website for the Lincoln Memorial says there hasn't been an event like this. www.nps.gov/search/?quer...
Compare this to the AI generated images at the Lincoln Memorial 🤷♂️
This is what Springsteen was actually doing on June 15th. youtu.be/Qk0TwWvmeWw?...
According to the internet that was at the Lincoln Memorial on June 15th.
They're just pointing out that event with Springsteen and Joan Baez that is going round social media didn't actually happen. Springsteen was doing a concert in Prague at the time.
The old man in The New Timer? "He rode the rails since the great depression Fifty years out on the skids He said you don't cross nobody You'll be all right out here kid"
OK, starting to get a tad excited... #Springsteen
To be fair, there might have been some stocks those Republicans needed to unload first.
There was a comment earlier that the main reason Trump doesn't like wars, is that they are really hard work and require intensive knowledge and understanding. Can you imagine a guy who struggles to stay awake trying to take on Churchill or FDRs workload? And when would he golf?
As Dufort (2017) put it, "Clausewitz focused his attention on German society and achieving military victory through liberal institutional transformations (e.g. doctrinal and social reforms)."
He was humiliated last weekend. This weekend he bombed someone. My guess is there is a relationship between those two events.
The mind boggles. We'd probably end up with a Cyberwoman in a metal bikini. Oh, hang on...
Jealous of the Sapphire and Steel Badges. Also, does this mean you are working on 'Tomb of the Cybermen in Colour' for Christmas?
As the Master once said, "A cosmos without the Doctor scarcely bears thinking about."
According to Brucespringsteen.it the track listing for Fire on the fingertips is as below. Those versions of Santa Ana, Bishop Danced, Seaside Bar Song and Zero and Blind Terry are on disk 1 of Tracks. Thundercrack is on Tracks, but it is studio version. E Ticket, I don't think so.
youtu.be/q7gT7kRSH4c?...
At least whoever came up with this has put a bit more effort in them that badly photoshopped Springsteen/Taylor Swift 'duet'.
😆
Why won't they be charged? If it has been found out, it's illegal. So why aren't the Republicans prosecuting these people?
Didn't happen, unfortunately. Springsteen was in Prague on that day.
