@Lulz4l1f3 Shocked! Shocked, I say!

@99reasons4truth Still an amazing site. My grandfather worked on the construction (and always referred to it as Boulder Dam. Wouldn't mention Hoover).

@northernbassist Choices, choices - good (????) thing I'm broke...
Larris have been my go-to acoustics (6 & 12) for a while (partly because I could never afford a Lowden!) - comb. of sound, neck, price, a family business, and that they're just a little different.
Of course, if anyone wants to gift me the Martin OM28 on the wall at the shop right now...
As for Alembics, always a dream....my old Ibanez MC924 will have to fill that slot.

@Xponent_Rob For Dallas proper, true, but Collin Co. has been red for a while, for our little Southeast Corner at least partly thanks to gerrymandering. Among the bonuses that brings is the lovely and talented Angela Paxton 🤢 as State Senator...

@northernbassist I was getting ready to say you need a Larrivee, but the Lowden will more than do...gorgeous, and I know the sound matches!

@Xponent_Rob East Side of Plano - N. Dallas Metro, Collin Co.

10 Republican Judges and County Sheriff running unopposed on my ballot. WTF TX Democratic Party??

@CanisPundit @Keysalagain @John_Ripley @Lulz4l1f3 Zager started out putting his setup on and rebranding Sigma guitars. His setup system, while not everyone's cup of tea, is the selling point (tone, as you note, nothing special...) so it's disappointing it needed tweaking.

Call 911...

@danialexis That's why it's easy for her to say - she'll never have to prove she means it. She can keep taking money for making a stir with no strings. Just like half the wingnuts in the House who put up crazy bills as a performance, knowing they'll never even get out of committee.

Dallas Morning News chickened out on today's Doonesbury.
Too real for the comics page?

@mcfate None of it makes any sense, but Vance is the front for the money men, and it's money that moves the whole mess. Tucker, Hannity & co. will follow the $$ - they have no loyalty beyond that, and the crowd will follow with a whispered prayer of thanks and a tear for Trumppo as he's put out to pasture and the new figurehead takes his place. The King is Dead, Long Live the King, etc.

As usual, V hits it on the head - how is someone who records literally from the floor more reliable than the legacy media?

Egad!! Credit - Amanda Marcotte, not HCR! Big oops!

Heather Cox Richardson:
"For folks outside of the MAGA cult, Baier came across as an asshole, while Harris seemed sharp and more than capable of holding her own. For MAGA, however, well, Baier still came across as an asshole. But they like that. They wish they, too, could yell at professional Black women and get paid to do it."

@feloneouscat Brett's doing a lot of reframing and blame-throwing.

Which just draws more attention to the ass-handing and the fact his producer cut it to bail him out.
