@Pungent I dig his album covers (Tool) and pretty sure I've seen him at least a few times on magazine covers (Wired? or maybe further back in the continuum... Omni?)

@peterquirk Yep, agreed. My PiHole catches a lot of them, but I have to disable it for a few minutes every week or certain providers simply stop working (I'm lookin' at you, Paramount Plus)

@tgraph52 You have introduced me to so many new things in this thread. Thank you!

. Your favorites, those that move you etc. Any reason. Post with art example if you like.

OK, yet another brief disclaimer: I am not endorsing everything this man has ever said, but I admit to having a deep affection for his warped yet keen mind. If you've ever seen the documentary by Zwigoff, you'll probably know what I mean.

So if this choice offends any here, that is not my intent. This is, after all, art that moves ME. 🙂

Day 8: Robert Crumb


I am now (1-3pm MT) presenting my weekly jazz program.

To continue my most recent post, here is another portion of Bonhoeffer's "Letters and Papers from Prison" that rings true.

"Never again will we try to persuade the stupid person with reasons, for it is senseless and dangerous."

From the writings of a personal hero.

I have to go back and read his "Letters and Papers from Prison" (among other writings) every now and then to remain properly tuned.

This portion helped me this morning. Maybe it will help someone else make sense of what we've been experiencing.

@lisaannlm Agreed, look at the porch in the background. 😉

This is what it looked like in my neighborhood sometime around the summer of '73 .

This photo would have been taken just before we all got bored and decided to play lawn-dart dare, girls vs. boys edition.

For my friends who dig music, trivia and especially musical-trivia:

Here is another selection from Chamæleon Church, called "Spring This Year"

@MakerWerks This is a very odd coincidence. Holy Crap is one of MY favorite djent bands. 🤣

@nopuppet_007
I've not seen this discussed elsewhere, it is only my opinion, formed by all of the moving pieces I am seeing.

I remembered reading that only one provision of the constitution can be suspended, and that is only in times of invasion or public safety:

"The privilege of the writ of habeas corpus shall not be suspended, unless when in Cases of Rebellion or Invasion the public Safety may require it."

IANAL nor a constitutional expert, so please feel free to tell me if I'm akilter..

<opinion>

By framing immigration as an invasion, and repeatedly lying about cities in the USA now being run by gangs and illegal immigrants, TNG is setting the stage for suspension of the writ of habeas corpus, as specified in Article I, section 9 of the constitution. This would effectively allow him (or those directed by him) to imprison people indefinitely without any judicial check.

</opinion>

What fresh hell, indeed.
