Great Zep song from a great album.
"Traversed the planet, when heaven sent me
I saw the kings who rule them all
Still by the firelight and purple moonlight I hear the rested rivers call
And the wind is crying, from a love that won't grow cold
My lover, she is lying, on the dark side of the globe"

@northernbassist Someone sold me a Michael Kelly electric like that for $150. I adjusted the neck & the bridge, changed the strings, and sold it for $400.

I saw that trending on Twi -X earlier, and decided not to bite.

"To the dismay of Pentagon officials, Musk volunteered that he had spoken with Putin personally. Another individual told me that Musk had made the same assertion in the weeks before he tweeted his pro-Russia peace plan, and had said that his consultations with the Kremlin were regular. (Musk later denied having spoken with Putin about Ukraine.)... ‘Well, I had this great conversation with Putin,’ ” the senior defense official told me. “And we were, like, ‘Oh, dear, this is not good.’

@DJNoneYa It surely is hot here. It was 94 earlier and is supposed to be 100 thursday.

“We need Elon now.” “How now?” he replied. “Like fucking now,” the official said. “People are dying.” Another Ukrainian involved told me that he was “awoken by a dozen calls saying they’d lost connectivity and had to retreat.”

Elon Musk’s Shadow Rule
