This will be a disaster.

Evil is the only word that comes to mind.
Ron (@ronp26.bsky.social) reply parent
Thank you.
Ron (@ronp26.bsky.social) reply parent
Is there even a flawed study that shows any correlation or was this a complete fantasy by the brain worm?
Ron (@ronp26.bsky.social) reply parent
There is no question. 80 different vaccines?
Ron (@ronp26.bsky.social) reply parent
Wow, a lot of nothing but Bondi had to do “something”.
Ron (@ronp26.bsky.social) reply parent
I wasn’t sure. Trump may not know the difference.
Ron (@ronp26.bsky.social) reply parent
Plus it is a lie. They are not going after the worst. They are going after the easiest so they can keep trying to hit their quota.
Ron (@ronp26.bsky.social) reply parent
I think there is a misplaced comma. I think it is supposed to be 22 787 Dreamliners. They are buying 22 planes. I wonder if Trump really thinks they are buying over 22,000 planes?
Ron (@ronp26.bsky.social) reply parent
I doubt it. If he does that then he knows he is gone and they will have something obvious to point at. I'd rather he keep doing what he has been doing and keep grinding away at Trump and his cabal.

A cutoff of 24 hours is good otherwise my favorites list could go on forever.
Ron (@ronp26.bsky.social) reply parent
Glad I didn't watch. I'd be even more depressed by the country than I already am. I've managed to avoid most of the coverage of it yesterday and today.

First president in my life (since Eisenhower) that I know hates me.

I never heard this version before. I saw your description of a "folk/soft-rock harmony trio" and I expected it to be bad. It was as bad as expected. I might have made 15 seconds of the song.

So they are making jokes about killing random people who were in the wrong place at the wrong time. The humor escapes me.

The deification of a podcaster just blows my mind. I don’t remember this sort of adulation when Limbaugh died and he was much more instrumental in the rise of MAGA. He wasn’t killed but I don’t see that as a reason for this worship. I can only imagine what will happen when Trump dies.

Plus the Supreme Court has ruled they can be detained especially if they are brown and speak with a foreign accent.

Yes, I thought he had done pretty well considering he is RW. This statement however is pretty bad. In other words “I was hoping it was a brown immigrant from California.”

Logical would have been last week. Who knows if Ballesteros or Caissie would have made any difference but it wasn't handled well at all.

Good for Murphy. Someone needs to stand up to Trump since Schumer won’t.
Ron (@ronp26.bsky.social) reply parent
So what is the new coverup story? Maybe Trump had an imposter for 30 years so he wasn’t really Epstein’s best friend.

Leave it to Neil. Not his best but it is catchy. "Got big crime in DC at the White House". #Musicsky www.youtube.com/watch?v=8B9A...

I’m in that older group too but I think it is much worse for those in their 20’s and 30’s. They have decades assuming we don’t get a pandemic that is ignored. The next 3 years or more will take decades to repair if it even can be.
Ron (@ronp26.bsky.social) reply parent
So sorry, for me it is dementia. I don’t have it but I have seen too much of it in my life. We need cures not the destruction of NIH and medical research.

"coerced" is a better word. She had two choices, stay locked up or leave.

It is 100% racism. Miller, Homan and the rest want a white US and are doing whatever they can to get it.

Same with me. I’m from Chicago so they were part of my early listening days but by the late 70’s in college I grew to dislike them along with other similar groups like REO Speedwagon. My dislike never went away.

Racism for some, abortion for others.

So I went 30 years without knowing there is a song named this. I don’t want to hear it, just knowing it exists is bad enough.

I enjoyed going back through your feed. I’m sure you have lots more but here are a few favorites that get me that I didn’t see: Hello in There - J Prine Elephant - J Isbell Not Pretty Enough - K Chambers My Only True Friend - G Allman Keep Me In Your Heart - W Zevon Love Has No Pride - B Raitt

The one that grew the most on me since I listened to it last was "Oh Mercy". I boosted it up on my Dylan album rankings. The one that might have fallen the most was "Tempest". It could have just been the day I was listening to them. On a different day, they might get different rankings. #musicsky
Ron (@ronp26.bsky.social)
Finally made it thru the letter "D" as I continue to listen to all my CD's. It took a long time to get through all the Bob Dylan studio albums (minus the recent songbook albums) plus various bootlegs and other CD's. It was fun though to overdose on Dylan for several weeks. #musicsky

The answer is no. The moral rot in this country will not be repaired in the lifetime of anyone currently living if it ever is repaired. We have at least three more years of this rot festering and becoming much worse.

Sure it would still be a problem but maybe not as bad if broadcasts didn’t shove betting in your face all the time and ballparks didn’t have attached betting parlors.
Ron (@ronp26.bsky.social) reply parent
They pushed it into overdrive by showing odds all the time in pre-game shows and during the game. You also have ballparks such as Wrigley with betting parlors on site.
