Red


One of the great disappointments of living in Denver was discovering that trees did not do this there. Yellow, yes. Orange, yes. But no red.

Good Question

And yet we must remain ever vigilant. The next time something wicked this way comes, it may not be as totally, fundamentally incompetent as the Trump regime.

Quote of the Day

Believe me, I know the original Nazis. I was born in Austria in 1947, shortly after the Second World War, and growing up I was surrounded by broken men; men who came home from the war filled with shrapnel and guilt, men who were misled into a losing ideology. And I can tell you that these ghosts that you idolize spent the rest of their lives living in shame. And right now, they're resting in hell." ~ Arnold Schwarzenegger

Finding My Bliss and Following My Joy

My second order from HHV arrived today, and the quality of these disks is just as amazing as the first.

Absolutely silent background, and a mastering job that is letting me hear things I've never heard before—and that's saying something considering the hundreds of times I've listened to these records over the years.

While I have it ripped from a borrowed CD in MP3 format, I never owned Tour De France on vinyl—at least not the full album and certainly not when it was initially released.










There's been an  (unobtainable) bootleg pressing of Computer World on yellow vinyl for years, but apparently it's so hinky not even Discogs will allow it to be sold through the website. That's one of the reasons I jumped on this:








Yes, I already own a copy of the original Man Machine from 1978 on red vinyl; one of my "holy grails." But it this is 180g vinyl and well, totally free of pops, clicks, and background noise. So it's justified…

Let Me Get This Straight…

From Hopes & Fears:

Hunter Biden lives in LOS ANGELES.

So Rudy wants us to believe he decided to fly 3000 miles to drop off 3 laptops with some sketcy af half blind dude because he only charges $85 to fix MAC laptops…after they say he earned millions of dollars from Burisma…pretty sure there are still Apple Stores in LA.

So you're trying to tell me that he flies 3000 miles, signs a contract to fix his laptops with a half blind dude and just…ghosts? Nah.

So you're trying to tell me that this guy who just happens to be a conspiracy theorist crazed supporter of Trump who says Hunter Biden signed a contract with him but didn't leave a manner of contacting him? Nah.

So you're trying to tell me that this sketchy af half blind guy who happens to be a Trump supporter goes through all these email looking for contact information instead of just wiping the drives and reselling the laptops like any other computer repair guy would do? Nah.

So now you're trying to tell me that this guy who is a total conspiracy theory nutjob that is so waaaaay down the Qanon rabbit hole he believes that the FBI are the government's hit men that he suddenly decides to call in the FBI? Nah.

And if this guy was soooo concerned about the information he had but couldn't find the contract information for Hunter but that he had the contact information for Rudy Giuliani? Nah.

And Rudy, who the FBI and CIA have warned Donny Boy's administration that he's being used as a stooge for the Russian mafia and Putin, thinks we're all just going to believe it?

NAH!

A 5 year old would say this doesn't check out.

Good thing the President of the United States thinks it's totally true.

All this coming from Rudy Giuliani. Yes, that Rudy Giuliani. The crazy-uncle-you-keep-locked-in-the-attic Rudy Giuliani. Yeah, totally believable. ?
