I like this.
... and I thought "Murder Hornet" was a good moniker.
The Declaration of Independence is a list of redresses by the Founding Fathers defining tyranny to the tyrant. My new game is to find things on the list in which the current administration is not engaging. www.archives.gov/founding-doc...
This is beauty!
Happy 86th Lily.
#morningmusic 🇺🇸 Jesse Welles was born in Ozark, AR and started playing guitar at 11. He sold his songs on burned CDs as a teen. Among his influences he cites the wordsmithiness of Walt Whitman, Herman Melville, Cormac McCarthy and Mark Twain. Happy September, all. www.youtube.com/watch?v=PL0o...
Happy Rabbit Day! #rabbitrabbit #September1st
With a brain like that I bet he has boxes full of “can’t throw those out… never know what you could use ‘em for” stuff. Thx
I'm impressed.

#nightmusic While you’re listening to this, read the wiki article en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Great_S... re: the 3½ acre underground organ in VA whose pipes are honed stalactites. It showed up in my feed after hearing @sisyphus43.bsky.social's water pipe link. Weird, eh? www.youtube.com/watch?v=HsKU...
Wait, Rudy Giuliani has a spine? 🤔
Sounds kind of like if Herbie Hancock was a sea god. You know my tastes.
Dude, for real?
Do share.
a little fog this morning #IdahoEscape #sunrise
I wonder how far this guy's going? He's only 36. @jamestalarico.bsky.social
OK. Queueing up.

#morningmusic 🇯🇲 Later recorded by Taj Mahal, UB40, &c, The Slickers wrote and recorded this years before their first album. It was chosen for The Harder They Come because Johnny's character mirrored Jimmy Cliff's in the movie. Sunday, and there's still more weekend. www.youtube.com/watch?v=3PzP...
You ever see the documentary The Bridge (2006)? There's one person that's highlighted who has almost these exact thoughts. Kind of voyeuristic. Worth a watch - it'll stay with you.
Don’t choke yet. You don’t want to miss that glorious day.
#nightmusic 🇿🇦 6 days after Nelson Mandela was first elected, construction began on the Ndlovu Medical Centre to address a healthcare vacuum. Its initial building now houses their Ndlovu Youth Choir. Here they interpret Freddie Mercury’s classic, released Thu. Later. www.youtube.com/watch?v=gblj...
Tried an overhead panorama shot. I think the black gaps at the edges are because my spine isn't hinged so it swiveled out of centered alignment. But I do think this has potential. #photo
Oh these are going to be fun to watch develop over the next few years.

I've only listened to Uncle John so far. So far. This is good. Thx @marajreynolds.bsky.social
This guy's *good*. Sounds both old and new at the same time. How have I never heard of him before?
"late night pickleballers" Best oxymoron this morning.

RIP Irish poet Seamus Heaney, died this day 2013. "History says, don't hope On this side of the grave. But then, once in a lifetime The longed-for tidal wave Of justice can rise up, And hope and history rhyme."
#morningmusic This song drips Stevie Wonder. He offered to *give* another song to Chaka but she didn't like it. So he riffed this intro instead based on her being an Aries. She bit. They co-wrote it tho she didn't take title credit. From Soul Train 9.7.74 Peace. www.youtube.com/watch?v=tcQt...

My son, who is only four minutes old, is so adorable with the way he wiggles his little pink toes and in a clear and resonant voice says, " Release the Epstein files."
#nightmusic #jazz It's Charlie Parker Jr.'s hundred fifth birthday. This version of Billie's Bounce, the original with His Reboppers, was inducted into the Grammy Hall of Fame in 2002. Have a pleasant Friday evening. www.youtube.com/watch?v=maLk...
I had a high schooler who found “Unwritten Rules of Social Relationships” helpful. There used to be a copy in the SpEd office resource library.
Aw crud big time.
Had a surprise rumbler roll through, too. Minimal rain but things are nicely cool now.
Which book? She’s an excellent resource.
#geology #rocks #maps #USGS This is flippin' cool. A new, zoomable USGS map of what's under our feet & up that hill. The link to the online version is in paragraph 3 & also here: ngmdb.usgs.gov/nationalgeol...

#morningmusic Walker Hayes has 8 older step sibs. Imagine that. Of "Fancy Like" he says “We tried our best to put it all in a Twanger. And this is what we got. I hope it makes y'all talk about stuff that matters.” Keep talking, people. This is how we figure it out. www.youtube.com/watch?v=E08p...
Yes, and a shake-up in party leadership. They’re stale.
A LOT of feeling. And I didn't read your post as being pro-Newsom. I read it (maybe mis-read it?) as pointing out that choosing to not vote in the general election last November - as a protest - got us the White House we have now. 👉 "Keep talking, people. This is how we figure it out." 👈
Indeed.
#nightmusic Born in a town of less than 100 (Foley, MO) and singing live shows at 9, Ruby Leigh got national attention on The Voice. Here she’s grabbed this Robin Gibb song and made it her own. Hell, she might even be the 5th Bee Gee. Sun's down. Air's cool. Night. www.youtube.com/watch?v=4SBq...

Thx. Seems early, but then again, we're stepping into September in a couple days...

#morningmusic #jazz Kojato & The Afro Latin Cougaritas have been together since 2010, though their sound feels decades older. Ebenezer Kojo Samuels on vocals, André Neundorf on keyboards, and Oliver Belz producing, all out of Monrovia, Liberia 🇱🇷 Enjoy your Thursday. www.youtube.com/watch?v=T43d...
Making your way through the Ken Burns Jazz documentary is an excellent way to spend time. 🎷
remember folks, we cant have gun restrictions because if we do the federal government will occupy our streets, imprison people without due process, ship dissidents to foreign gulags and things of that nature
Feels like Meadows Valley.
This line has been coming to mind all year whenever I hear Dem leadership talk: Your old road is rapidly agin' Please get out of the new one If you can't lend your hand For the times they are a-changin' ~ Bob Dylan
Asking them to read back what they'll share is excellent. I'm putting that one in my tool box.
Aren't there any power lines in that neighborhood? ⚡️
Single issue voting & abstaining from voting will squash the chance of putting sanity - even *flawed* sanity - back in the White House.

#nightmusic Ólafur Arnalds 🇮🇸 & Talos 🇮🇪 collaborated on this last year shortly before Talos died in his sleep (cancer, 36). “This is music to keep us afloat in dark waters, guiding us towards a glimmer of light on the horizon.” Hug your kids tonight. Call your mom. ♥️ www.youtube.com/watch?v=nEBb...
I don't know. It just doesn't seem like gun registration is too big of an ask. "My friend Victor like saved me, though, because he laid on top of me, but he got hit." www.youtube.com/shorts/msleF... #guns
On r/IndianCountry they point out that Greenland still takes kids from families hours after being born via “parenting competency” tests. The test is described in the 2nd section. The psych quoted notes he too failed the test & calls it culturally specific. www.theguardian.com/lifeandstyle... #ndn
It felt like such a weird non sequitur to throw that paragraph into a story about US-Greenland relations.
This is so predictable it hurts. We - schools - drill kids (want to cry? watch your entire student body learn to walk in single file with hands on their heads) & have metal detectors & SROs & prep for what ifs. And this still happens. Mental health? Sure. Guns? Pols can't even talk about them.

#morningmusic These guys began as a hometown band playing Thursdays at Le Bon Temps Roule in NoLa. They didn’t have an official name until they opened for Cyril Neville once at Tipitina’s, where he said "Y'all sound like some rebels of this music". It's Wednesday. www.youtube.com/watch?v=s4_3...
buried at the end of the story: "In a separate move, Denmark’s Prime Minister Mette Frederiksen on Wednesday apologised to the thousands of Greenlandic women who over decades were forcibly fitted with contraceptive coils."
Thx.
Kind of puts a stain on their motto "Always Ready, Always There!"

This <5min bit from @maddow.msnbc.com raises a BIG red flag: "He is deprofessionalizing the US military & federal law enforcement & federal emergency response while he is turning those forces against the American people on American soil. And why would you do that?" www.youtube.com/watch?v=_1QF...

#morningmusic Aldous Harding, Cardiff, Wales 🏴, was discovered busking in NZ trying to raise enough to see Anika Moa’s show. Moa saw her on the street, liked her stuff, asked her to open her show & then gave her free studio time. School starts here today. Waahoooo! www.youtube.com/watch?v=gMA1...
