This won't be for everyone. Hell, most of the time I'm not a fan of his.

But there were moments that I laughed.

If Michael Cohen can do time for his part in the EXACT SAME CRIMES then so can Trump.

@ordenauta I saw him pitch a no hitter when I was a kid. I also saw him hit a home run.

This man, Rory Kinnear, is going to portray Tom Bombadil Best known as playing M's right hand in a number of Bond movies, and many many police inspectors. Thsi picture on the left is from his charactor interrigating Benedict Cumberbatch's Alan Turin in "The Imitation Game".

Hell of an actor. That's also him in full makeup for Rings of Power.

Trump's conviction doesn't change the fact that their agenda is .

But it's a nice opening swing.

I felt a great disturbance in the Force -- as if millions of voices cried out all at once, DRINKS ARE ON ME!!!

On another note:.

"You lose the right to vote in Florida if you are convicted of a felony until you finish your
sentence, including prison, parole and/or probation, and pay the money you were ordered
to pay by a court when you were convicted. "

That's from the Florida Secretary of State's office website. I copied it verbatim. He can appeal, but until/unless it's overturned he a convicted felon.

He can't vote in the election.

oooohhhhh...

Judges have always been SO responsive to defendants who have been found guilty who show no remorse.

New Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds. "Frogs"

Required listening.

One of the most imaginative bass lines I've heard in a while.

And to me it sounds like a song that would be the closing track on an album. Knowing Nick Cave, it of course won't be.

Seems to me that we should be worried about even if the Democrats keep the White House. It's not going to go away.

I would wonder, and start planning for, the attempted implementation of this monstrous plan even if the GQP doesn't take the White House.

We still need to prevent it, even if it isn't attempted in 2025.

@scottyorange I tried to find out ut I don't know. part of the problem is that he has the same name as a right wing commentator who shows up from time to time (Jim Heath). I do know that he refused to cancell shows during the Pandemic and that got him followers from the right, but he strikes me more as an anarchist based on things he said at the time.

He's worked with some very PRO LGBTQ artists, but I don't get the impression that he cares too such one way or the other.

I could be wrong ...

@SuperDuke Here's an even better story:

All of the ships on that first album originally had city names on them. The Boston one was put out front. The band didn't even have a name when they were signed - they took it from the artwork. The Band was originally called Mother's Milk.

The removed the other city names from the artwork later.

It's a story I heard once.

As promised, here is the blog version of Radio Free California Episode 2422. There are notes about this week's programming on the Radio Station, plus a small essay (no cheap shots this week) and a video to a live performance of one of this week's new tracks.

Enjoy!

As promised, here is the blog version of Radio Free California Episode 2422. No cheap shots this week - I really didn't want to surf the internet on my day off. I do have a few thoughts about a strange milestone I've hit though.

Also, notes about the various shows coming in the next week on the radio station.

"Geometry hates Tesla, and physics hates Starlink. Reality has a leftist bias. The future is fiber, and public transit. These are both vastly preferable, more efficient, safer, more reliable and more plausible than satellite and private vehicles. Their only disadvantage is that they fail to give an easily gulled, thin-skinned compulsive liar more power over billions of people. That's a disadvantage I can live with."
