That would be Dinsdale. Now don't transgress the unwritten law.
Much like a "death of expertise" on their part, if you will... ๐ค
Andie picked the wrong guy.
Just curious: Jerry did the national broadcast but they would periodically cut back to a local broadcast studio while Jerry took a break. In the NYC metro area, the local host for many years was Tony Orlando. Who was the host of the local broadcast where you guys lived? ๐ค
It was always around 6:30pm or so in NYC when he'd end the show with this. I still give to MDA. youtu.be/UqYkxAKcmyw?...
Yeah, no. I'm not MAGA nor a Trumper in any way, shape, or form, but if you believe setting up a "rules for me, rules for thee" scenario didn't play right into their hands, you're kidding yourself.
This disparity helped give MAGA a position on the moral highground.
That article was written less than 3 months after the initial shutdowns began in the U.S.
Compliments on the article. And regards to Professor Dunsel, staff writer at @theatlantic.com. Wesley out.
I've been working with personal computers for over 40 years and I've built a bunch of them over those years, but, even now, I dread having to work on setting up new wireless equipment and connections. It's always "something"... ๐ซค
I forgot all about her. Ethel Mertz from "I Love Lucy". ๐ I did remember Cora, the other Maxwell House coffee lady, played by the Wicked Witch from "The Wizard of Oz". youtu.be/s6ZGro6c7p4?...
They lie because they know that many of their supporters will believe anything.
"It's Palmolive!" ๐
Lt. Uhura in the gold tunic is always interesting to see.
Watching it too. I always think Kirk is uncharacteristically patient while Bailey is freaking out on the bridge. ๐ค
Congratulations!
Indeed! ๐
Looks like you both had a great time! ๐๏ธโโ๏ธ
August 1970. Casey is only a couple of months into this new #AT40 radio countdown gig. I wonder if he ever imagined that, 55+ years later, it would still be going strong or that people would also be listening to the reruns of the older episodes? ๐ค Take us away, Jezz!
Did you and the other @theatlantic.com Daily writers haze him and make him sing "The Schaefer Jingle"? ๐ค youtu.be/CMQHDg6fTZc?...
If I have one minor complaint about SNW, it's that the ratio of fun vs. more-serious episodes is high, even compared to TOS, which wasn't afraid to be silly *every now and then*.
"In time you will come to regard me not only with respect and awe, but with love."
Classes start again shortly. Many of Tom's petulant complainers will soon be distracted.
It was the way he spoke that reminded me of Sheldon, almost to the point that I thought he may have been imitating him a bit.
I liked it too, though probably not as much as you. I did enjoy Anson Mount's Vulcan interpretation. It struck me as being very much like the Sheldon Cooper character in "The Big Bang Theory", especially considering how Sheldon always looked at himself as being like Mr. Spock.
Thanks for explaining that. I also had no idea who they meant by "predatory groomer".
J.D. waiting...juuuuuust waiting...
"Centrists".

You're a charter member of the RFT Bluesky Fam, M-E! ๐
LOL! Thanks Stan! ๐
That's just crazy talk.
Just checked the lyrics online - I think that's "Emerald Eyes" you're thinking of.
Do you mean "Emerald Eyes"? I didn't really start listening to Fleetwood Mac until their "Fleetwood Mac" album.
They appear to have a relationship where neither would claim to be "in charge", but the fact is that she's the one who's the billionaire.
Pretty sure I saw Cherry Picking Simpletons during their U.S. tour when I worked as a bar-back in a Manhattan nightclub back in college. ๐ค
I've been a Dem for 40+ years and I'd much rather have Never-Trumper former Republicans like yourself in my party than the groups who do nothing but complain, b*tch, and moan, and then stay home on election day because their one particular, parochial issue isn't the key plank in the party platform.
Fairly certain ๐ข๐ฏ๐บ potential Democratic candidates would be infinitely better than Trump + every other Republican. If that alone isn't enough to make people show up to vote, then we all better buckle up and get ready for Trump Part 3.
Yeah, I screenshot it years ago off Facebook, so I'm pretty sure you're correct. ๐
You mean he wasn't about kicking butts and taking names? ๐
Bernie liking socialism? Shocked.
While she continues to demand that Democratic candidates pass her purity tests, Trump and his Republican henchmen are actively working to entirely erase her kids and their rights from the national discourse.
One of the great underrated songs of the '70s. #AT40
Stupid or not, it's been successful for them and has given them total control of all three branches of the federal government.
Good segment. The caller from Houston, TX made a good point about his MAGA neighbors that I've also seen here in NJ - they will never vote for a Democrat and they will always vote Republican even if that means someone like Trump. Right now, Dems need to start voting like that too.
Warren Oates would've been an interesting Clark Kent. ๐ค
You akshully want us to read all that?!?! Do you ๐ด๐ฆ๐ฆ how many words that piece has? I don't have time for all that - I've got important death-scrolling to do. I'll just ask Grok or ChatGPTUVWXYZ or Siri to cut that down into a pithy little paragraph.
Back in the early '90s, I had this cartoon taped to the inside of my company's Quality Improvement Process manual.
Interestingly, there are Democrats out there actively hoping for a "Seven Days in May" scenario to come true.
New guy is going to go through some things next Easter.
I've been voting Dem for 40+ years. I voted for Mondale against Reagan and watched him get destroyed by a party that, just ten years earlier, had been humiliated by Watergate. My dad, a union guy, veteran, and lifelong Dem, used to say that "Democrats could f*ck up a wet dream." He wasn't wrong. ๐คจ
Instead of them trying to change your mind - a guy who voted ๐ง๐ฐ๐ณ Clinton, Biden, and Harris - maybe it would make more sense to try to change the minds of the 200K voters in four swing states who gave the 2024 election to Trump, as well as the millions of 2020 Biden voters who simply stayed home. ๐ค
OK, we'll put this on the back burner for now and huddle up again later.
I look forward to us wrapping our heads around this and leveraging the enhanced synergy to increase our bandwidth.
Tom, let's take this discussion offline and circle back to it later.
Exactly. He was an 80 year-old guy who was still able to be out riding a bike, while this guy can't even walk in a straight line.
Or they'd be saying that Biden seemed unsteady while out riding his bike, while this guy maintains a death grip on the railing as he walks down ramps and stairs. ๐คจ
Ha-ha! Nah, it was just a cheap compilation of different components (stereo receiver, turntable, 8-track deck, cassette tape player/recorder, and two speakers), all made by different manufacturers. ๐ซค
Buckwheat did a great cover. ๐ As always, thanks Jezz! #AT40
I was in high school and couldn't afford a car. I did have an 8-track player on my component stereo in my house. ๐
This song was from the album "Some Girls". I remember that summer winning the 8-track of the album on the boardwalk in Seaside Heights, NJ. #AT40 ๐
My personal pick as one of the quintessential Yacht Rock tunes. โต #AT40
"This is like the Soviet Union in the 1950s." @radiofreetom.bsky.social
August 1978. Nearing the end of the summer when John Travolta had two movie soundtracks - "Saturday Night Fever" and "Grease" - dancing through the #AT40 countdown at the same time. Take it away, Jezz!
But-but-but that's #AT40 countdown time! ๐ฌ
I've been added to a bunch of block lists, which is fine. I just reciprocate by blocking back and moving on.
Generally, they instruct the internet service companies in their state to block the particular website. Users can usually use a VPN to get around the block.
Anytime you respond to one of my comments here, a horde of people immediately block me, which I consider an absolute benefit as they take the initiative to show themselves the door. ๐
It's driving him nuts that this story just won't go away, even with a core group of his MAGA followers. Good.
"To establish an authoritarian gov't, you need to capture the Justice Dept, the intelligence community, and the Defense Dept, and this is why loyalists were put in as the heads of all of these...institutions so that they will do the things like we're seeing right now." @radiofreetom.bsky.social
Just finished it. Agreed - this concept worked.
You've really got them all coming out of the woodwork tonight.
Will be watching it shortly. *No Spoilers RFT Bluesky Fam!*
Argument is an intellectual process. Contradiction is just the automatic gainsaying of any statement the other person makes.
The temperature was in the 80s last week and that mook was wearing a trench coat like a flasher.
