I’m still on the hunt searching every tv appearance by Moby Grape. (Pre-Zep, they were Robert Plant’s fave band, that’s what he wanted to do. “Going to Califormia,” etc) Skip Spence is super-wired on this take.

@Tim said in What are you listening to, right now................:

The Democrats are impeaching the President of the United States ... and CNN’s ratings have hit a three-year low. It’s the Boy crying wolf and a three year incessant whine. The American people have tuned out.

@Crucial said in Jeffrey Epstein:

I get all that, just don't get why he is being judged as if he has committed a criminal act when (on the face of it) he may have had sex with a young woman of legal age. Can't claim adultery as good reason either (it is hardly uncommon).

So, Her Royal Majesty is overreacting, is she?

@Crucial said in Jeffrey Epstein:

Apart from being a sleaze and probably lying about it what has Prince Andrew actually done that was illegal?

In most of the news and commentaries, criminality is barely mentioned, if at all. I suspect Liz didn’t shitcan her boy from Buckingham Palace because she was worried he did anything “illegal,” but mostly that he consorted with a convicted sex offender who trafficked girls as sex slaves, which is dragging her royal family’s name through the mud. Fairly straightforward.

Good question!

Heads-up: I see that a reliable source has uploaded a pair of recordings by The La De Da’s (NZ 60s R&B) to TPB this week. Bunch o’ seeders, too. I’m downloading as I type, and will give a number of listens the next few weeks and see how it goes...

Fascinating long read. Here’s the headline, intro & link:

The Surprisingly Solid Mathematical Case of the Tin Foil Hat Gun Prepper
Or, “Who Needs an AR-15 Anyway?”

As gun policy discussions unfold in the wake of mass shooter incidents, they routinely end in three buckets. There’s the “tyranny can never happen here” bucket, which the left has mostly abdicated in the wake of Trump winning after they called (and still call) him a tyrant. There’s the “you can’t fight the army with small arms” bucket, which is increasingly unsound given our ongoing decade-and-a-half war with Afghani tribal goat herders. And there’s the “what the hell do you need an AR-15 for anyway?” bucket, which, by its very language, eschews a fundamental lack of understanding of what those people are thinking. I am not a prepper. But I know a few. Some of the ones I do know are smart. They may not be doing as deep an analysis as I present here, on a mathematical level, but the smart ones are definitely doing it at a subconscious level. If you want to understand the perspectives of others, as everyone in my opinion should strive to do, then you would do well to read to the end of this article. To get where we’re going, we will need to discuss the general framework of disaster mathematics. [...]

Greta wrote an op-ed this past weekend. At least she’s not even pretending her activism is just about the environment any more. She’s got biggger fish to fry.

Why We Strike Again

[...]

That action must be powerful and wide-ranging. After all, the climate crisis is not just about the environment. It is a crisis of human rights, of justice, and of political will. Colonial, racist, and patriarchal systems of oppression have created and fueled it. We need to dismantle them all. Our political leaders can no longer shirk their responsibilities.

The claptrap about colonialism, racism, patriarchy and oppression are straight out of globalist Marxist training manuals.
