You're just really polite about death sentences, right?

Eight year old: Who is the pope?

Me: Begins to explain…

Eight year old, interrupting: “It turns out I don’t care about that.”

@evertonfc.com - why on the live commentary does Darren always have his mic level set much lower than either Snods or Diamond? The difference in volume level is really difficult to cope with, like one of those movies where the dialogue is too feint and the music too loud.

But I’m concerned, having never seen her before, is she experiencing hand pain? The way she pulls her hand away from the fretboard and stretches it instantly makes me think that.

I like that clip. Seems a lot of popular blues these days has descended into “flash” guitar playing.

I can appreciate the skill in playing fast, but it doesn’t move me at all. A well timed, well executed string bend, a biting tone and a singing vibrato hit so much better.

First Time I Met The Blues
YouTube video by Buddy Guy - Topic First Time I Met The Blues

Dammit Shriram! Why have we not discussed this before?

Core musical memory for me: Being a teenager and hearing Buddy Guy’s “The first time I met the blues” for the first time, in a tiny record shop in Hythe (Kent, England).

my new theory is that once you have a certain amount of money and wealth you start to go crazy and detach from reality. that number is different for everyone. for me it's $20

Find a cool product on Amazon?
That company exists OFF Amazon, too.
1) Google company name.
2) Order from their site.
2a) Can usually find a 10% code!
3) Still get product in 2-8 days.
4) Company avoids losing 25% margin share to Amazon.
5) You avoid giving money to Bezos.

Stateside, I'm surprised by how I was sent home after two surgeries with a bottle full of Oxy and *no instructions*. No warnings, nothing. I decided that I would set as a personal goal to not finish all the pills I was given, and use the remaining # to wean off of it. Really wish RI did better.

A lot of wealth comes from central banks just creating money and handing 80% of it to the people who are already wealthy.

In a world where VW exists, it takes a special kind of genius to make Tesla the car brand most associated with abhorrent fascists.

In a hotel bar in Berlin once again, once again watching repeats of sports. Or not, because I’ve no desire to watch the shite beating Southampton. Can’t stand either of them.
