Got asked today "you're still on Counter Social huh"?

"Yes - aside from the obvious stuff, there are people on there whose intelligence humbles me to the point where I feel like a dummy, and I want to not be a dummy...why would I be on a SM platform where I think I am as smart or smarter than almost everybody else?"

Thanks COSO - for making me feel like a dummy!

I had NEVER watched Dr Who until the new season. I watched the first ep where they introduced Ruby and I immediately stopped myself from going further (okay I watched the Abbey Road episode!) - and went back to the 2005 re-launch. I am absolutely hooked on that show now. I am just about to start season 4.

Quick note - the recording is from a reference mix as the master tape was lost. So this is far from an audiophile recording. Some of the instruments are buried to the point of non-existence (Sanders fife in "Africa"), and there is an anomaly in the tape reel that causes regular dropouts for the first half of "Shika-Lova". But you get past that stuff, it's an awesome experience.

🎧 Alice Coltrane, "The Carnegie Hall Concert". Recorded in 1971 fresh off the release of her landmark "Journey...." LP, Coltrane brought a double trio including Archie Shepp and Pharoah Sanders for a free jazz/skronk master class. Four extended workouts, two of them written by her late husband, ebb and flow and explode. Sanders might have invented some new notes at this show. Just released on Impulse after 50 years on the shelf. A must.

It’s not just a seasoning, it’s also my new catch phrase.

@Helical_Code
This was a no brainer. A unanimous decision because the folks who brought the case had no business bringing it. So now, the anti-women gang will regroup and send someone to the SCOTUS who DOES have "standing" and challenge it again. This isn't over, sadly.

🚨 BREAKING NEWS 🚨
SCOTUS tosses challenge to mifepristone on standing. For now, the drug remains available (63% of abortions are managed using this drug).

The big beaver in the sky.

“…and how thats bad for Biden” is the new “thats what she said..”. Try and discuss.

Is it at all possible that you have “mark all media as sensitive content” checked in your preferences?
I’ve never heard of this platform marking posted content as sensitive.

I’ve been reading along with some online reference material as i work my way through the series’ and i saw that Blink and its predecessor “family of blood” are considered two of the best ever. Its amazing to see these shows for the first time. I already cant wait to start all over.

Whoa. The “Blink” episode of #DoctorWho has certainly earned its reputation. A great hour of television, even if the doctor only gets a few minutes of screen time. #cosotv

Happy Sunday(?) to all! Still on vacation with the greatest family ever to walk the earth. Beaching. Pooling. Go-Karting. Shelling. The pic of me and daughter is just before we got harnessed up for one of those swings that drops you from 110 feet. A total rush!

Cereal is breakfast soup. Discuss.

At one of the better restaurants in town there is a dude doing an acoustic cover of “Gold Dust Woman” that most people would consider a hate crime.

This level of relaxation should be mandatory.

Avast!!!
