From the archives: 6 years ago, then-President Trump referred to Haiti as 'a shithole country.' He said the US should only take in Nordic immigrants, not from African or Hispanic countries. He's only read one book without pictures, and that's Mein Kampf. washingtonpost.com/news/postevery…

Congrats to the GBR sailing team for reaching the America's Cup match for the first time in sixty years! IMO, Ben Ainslie now has Britain's best shot at winning the Auld Mug since T.O.M.Sopwith in 1934. Bring on the Kiwis, and let's end 173 years of hurt amp.theguardian.com/sport/2024/oct…

Nearly 50% of eligible voters don't turn out for presidential elections. If the outcome is not to your liking, do you really want that on your conscience? VOTE! There's no such thing as a wasted one. A high turnout could be the difference between a tight race and a landslide.

Ppl assume that if Trump is elected, the pending lawsuits against him (subversion, assault, fraud, documents) will get swept under the rug. Just to pull off that stunt he will be fully occupied for the next 4 years and able to devote ZERO attention to 'MAGA'. Let sense prevail.

For a conspiracy to exist, people have to talk. Phone calls, emails, video from F2F meetings. All traceable. Problem for theorists in 2020: no trace, no fingerprints. This time, expect 'traces' to emerge--but will they be real, or AI-generated?

Decadent video from the PowerPop days--Bruce Woolley's US tour in 1980 with occasional rather camera-shy shots of me vimeo.com/1030016575

Every DT executive order so far is designed to benefit rich white males at the expense of the rest of humanity. Retribution is well underway as security is revoked for Fauci, Pompeo etc inviting them to be used for target practice. It's clear what the G in MAGA will actually mean

When alone in a room that begins to fill with smoke, 75% raise the alarm within minutes. Yet, surrounded by others who remain passive, only 10% take action. This is the "bystander effect." A silent, unresponsive crowd stifles our instincts – even when our own lives are at stake.

Amazing album of classic ringtone remixes! Several Beatnik toons in there--apologies to any of our guys that did not get mentioned. Brian Salter is justly credited for his sterling work for Nokia and others. Might spot a few of mine too. Highly recommended youtube.com/watch?v=btOffQ…

Sad to hear of the death of Simon House, violinist on 'She Blinded Me With Science' who also played with Hawkwind, Bowie and Bruce Woolley. ultimateclassicrock.com/simon-house-ha…
