Hey friends. Are you watching the debate tonight?
I try not to, mostly because Trump enrages me with his ridiculous appearance, his Gish galloping lie-fest and overall inability to speak like a normal person.
But also because I'll be watching WNBA games 😃
I just keep tabs on the socials to get a sense of what's going on. Maybe turn on MSNBC afterwards to get their take.
I also figure there will be so many clips posted the following day I won't actually miss anything.

@npub12ze…hunm I wish he did even more. That moving man line about getting a dollar is a great example of how comedy is all about delivery 😆

The #alttext link in the web interface doesn't work for me so I've been trying other free services. Although it takes way too much time for what I'm posting (album covers and discs), I think I'll just keep doing it myself.
This is typical of what I'm finding 👇

@npub1kvx…2yu8 That's the Undercliff Walk area? Looks beautiful. I can definitely see the allure to the birds. Great place to glide around and feed.

@npub1ema…z20p I'm listening to FTR #206 rn and I just heard a squeaky toy in the background 😂
I assume that's one of your dogs.

I see the ocean, aka "Earth's Garbage Dump", is now taking in trash from space. Lovely 😒

Good news! Your only purpose is to mate. Everyone else does all the work.
Bad news is, you die soon after your first hookup.

The Minutemen - “I Felt Like A Gringo” (1983)
“Got a ton of white boy guilt, that's my problem,
Obstacle of joy, one reason to use some drugs” 🎶
Story of my life 😁 Also one of my favorite tracks. So tight!

@npub12ze…hunm It's got a very awards show quality to it. Like a house band just forcing their way through it 😂

@npub12ze…hunm Yikes. Good call though. I tend to automatically follow back and then mute or block if needed, so this is not uncommon, sadly

@npub1ecp…59pq Maybe it's ok to do here in CA? It's a lot drier so I assume less of a threat of fungal disease.

@npub12ze…hunm Yeah, I think I'm just gonna buy the whole album. This is rad. Great find, Jake! 👊

Sylvia - “I Confess” (1980 / 2021)
Industrial Records (Throbbing Gristle) first released this pop gem in October 1980 and it was possibly the straightest yet weirdest release the label ever did.
Dorothy was described as a 19 year old with no prior releases, but was actually Max the drummer from Rema Rema with help in the song writing department from Alex Ferguson from Alternative TV and Genesis P-Orridge.
I Confess is a perfect super cute pop ditty with lyrics that sound like a catholic confession.

@npub12ze…hunm Thanks! I use SC mostly to post songs I can't find anywhere else.
BTW, this reminds me of another category of songs I have mixed feelings about. Songs about rock and roll.
Rock and Roll All Night
I Love Rock and Roll
There's a million. And I love many of them. But it is an admittedly rather lame subject for a rock band 😂

@npub12ze…hunm This is a relatively recent favorite. The so called "King of Nerd Rock". Saw him play with Deke Dickerson and his guitar skills are insane. Plus this tune is just a fun little ditty about his love for guitar. 🎸
Hopefully the link works. SC takes things down even if I can't find it anywhere else online

@npub12ze…hunm I can think of a few songs about guitars that I like. What's an example of what you're referring to?

@npub1t95…0kzy @npub1zvj…wvea Yes! Insurance alone would do a ton of good.
Here's my top 4 most important reforms:
1. Mandatory liability insurance
2. Red Flag laws
3. Universal background checks
4. Ban high-capacity magazines and semi-automatic assault weapons
