A couple of things about me.

Music:

Most major influence is a DJ: I've followed Radio One's Benji B for ~20 years now. https://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/b00v4tv3

Politics:

Best resource EVER is electoral-vote.com. It's been my go to daily blog for about as long as I've listened to Benji B.

Hey all, it's been a while.

How are things round these parts?

BREAKING: Google have announced it will no longer provide search results linking to other websites. "The era of free publicity for our internet rivals, ends today", a spokesman said.

J/k of course, but that's how stupid Musk's latest move sounds.

Twitter has a persistent stink to it these days. You might call it eee long musk. #DadJoke

A little restrictive for my party tastes.

Boosting this because "hate-filled monsters" is 100% correct.

This is nucking futs. Aaron Rupar was the epitome of a good journalist on Twitter. Things are getting a little fascist over there.

I was too late to visit the shroom house, which is not too far down the road from me.

I hadn't heard the term "wrap-around snow/precipitation" before. It's the moisture that does not get dumped at storms front but circles back around for a generally lighter flurry towards the rear.

Twitter moves to a "pay for prominence" model. What could possibly go wrong? 🙄

Go Oregon! It's healthcare people need not insurance.

I recently rediscovered Bandcamp.com as an awesome site to find and purchase up & coming, underground music acts.

I ended up there after beatport.com had virtually nothing listed for an amazingly esoteric UK act I stumbled across: "SAULT" who produced FIVE albums this year. and each is as awesome as the next.

Here's a link to one of their recent releases. #CosoMusic

I discovered this British group SAULT only recently. They have so much awesome music out there and this is just a taste - "Champions". #CosoMusic

These gritter truck names reminded me of being on a bus in Edinburgh, stuck in traffic. I happened to notice the WiFi SSIDs from tenament flats we were stopped beside. One was named "Shout PENIS for password!!". 🤣

I happened to swing by ER tonight (just visiting) and couldn't help noticing the very large letters on the #MorgueLog at check in. KEEP IT NEAR AT ALL TIMES PEOPLE.

NOBODY wanted #HerschelWalker in the #USSenate. But a great number of selfish bastards voted to stain our #democracy with an atrociously unqualified candidate to further their authoritarian agenda. Thank f*ck they failed. #Georgia

MSNBC calls it for #Warnock!
