I love the coda on this song. Beautiful reharmonization.

re: #8 b.d.

OK..flame war commence…

The Grateful Dead were country.

Little Feat and The Band would top the Country charts if they released their stuff today.

Kudos for people trying to dissolve that barrier.

But none of those bands were “country western.” CW is a very specific type of cheap sentimental music, by the likes of Merle Haggard, Lee Greenwood, etc., often with a right wing slant. The kind of music they featured on “Hee Haw.”

That’s why I say Americana is not the same as “country western.”

I dont know anything about a software program named Redis, but it was a program that was developed as open source. It must be important, because it was included in RedHat and Ubuntu. Well, the company decided that they need to make more money, because they are changing licenses on newer versions the be very restrictive. I read an article where a developer was annoyed by this with good reason because the company benefited from non-company development and testing.

Well, the CEO is now annoyed that the Linux community is planning on doing further development on a fork. And while Microsoft has negotiated an agreement with the company, Amazon and RedHat have decided to back the fork.

Redis is used primarily as a caching system. AWS Elasticache is basically Redis under the hood. You can use it to store things like configurations and share them across multiple applications running in the same environment.

As long as you have a vacuum with a hose you can use these. Or the included hand pump. Look at the reviews. Glowing. And 8 for just 16 bucks, free shipping and returns with Prime.
Sale price.
If you don’t have prime, maybe a friend does.

Amazon

Is there an electric pump? Whipping out the vacuum or using a hand pump is hard for me because my hands are messed up. I have to involve the spouse, which is why I liked the ones that had an electric pump. I just couldn’t tell if they were standardized across the board.

Also, how hard is it to suck all the air out and put the lid or seal or whatever on it? I might need the spouse anyway?

Okie from Muskogee, released in 1969, clearly expressed both the bigotry and reflexive defensiveness weaponized by the right wing today.

I’m proud to be an Okie from Muskogee,
A place where even squares can have a ball
We still wave Old Glory down at the courthouse,
And white lightnin’s still the biggest thrill of all
Leather boots are still in style for manly footwear
Beads and Roman sandals won’t be seen
Football’s still the roughest thing on campus
And the kids here still respect the college dean

Don’t use Lee Greenwood in the same sentence as Merle Haggard. They’re entirely different artists. Might as well equate Kid Rock with Neil Young.

Again, there is the Nashville commercial AM Top 40 Country mass-produced to a fixed formula and served up to a ready audience, but even there the Bakersfield Sound and Rebel Country managed to work its way around the fringes, WIllie and Waylon and the Boys et al.

Remember how Kenny Rodgers was once a psychedelic-tinged pop singer until he went full country? And Dwight Yoakam came out of the punkabilly scene.

And you have guys like Samuel Saint, who’s doing satirical Country Western. He’s like the Weird Al of the country scene, but his satire is pretty razor-sharp. He has a good voice, too.

In the 90’s, country was turning into a multi-billion-dollar industry and the Gatekeepers wanted it to represent American Values; Patriotism, God, Family, Small Towns, Picket Fences, nickel cokes, and Hard-Working White People Who Don’t Got Much But What They Got They Earned With The Sweat of Their Brow, etc.

And Beer and Whiskey Galore but no “drug” drugs.

I had tolaugh out at Lone Star’s 90’s country cover of Dave Dudley’s Six Days on the Road when they felt compelled to change “I’m takin’ little white pills and my eyes are open wide” (which nobody complained about back then) to “I’m passin’ little white lines and my eyes are open wide” (which really ain’t much of an improvement)

TL;DR: This idiot bought an “ape” (one of the oldest forms of NFT, a picture of a bored ape), and treated it like a prized possession. Then a platform called Blur came along, which is a trading post for NFTs. This apparently dropped the price of these items, and now this guy is big mad because he spent a whole bunch of fake money for a stupid-looking picture and a receipt that claims he owns it (but can’t do anything with that ownership except sell it).

You’re pretty close to accurate on that. There’s actually a fairly decent use case for blockchain as a receipt tracking mechanism for things like artwork, probably the only thing I could see it being useful for. But instead, techbros thought they could just shoehorn it into literally every aspect of digital life and make mountain of cash out of their Ponzi schemes.

It’s a bit terrifying that this guy, in charge of companies that make cars and man-rated rockets, is apparently unconcerned about the effects of metal fatigue when rebuilding a bridge. And even if he was talking about just reusing the parts that weren’t damaged, there are 1) probably far less of those than he thinks, due to the progressive nature of the collapse, and 2) even the ones that escaped fatigue damage might not be in a fit state for use after falling into the river.

The author carried it as a form of conspicuous consumption and the projection of a relationship presented in the rhetoric of the first paragraph is so contextualized by the monetary value that either the emotionality is bad faith or a good faith that simply views all things as transaction.

It would be just as feasible to carry around the ape and “share” experiences with it at it’s lower value if it’s significance was anything other than it’s worth if this was about art or personal expression or parasocial connection…but it’s not: the thing is just a representation of value.

This is a really great translation from Crypto Bro to English.

Back at the dawn of the NFT era, a guy I knew asked if I was looking into creating cartoons to sell as NFTs. I spent about five minutes researching it and thought that just on ethics alone, I couldn’t do it. That’s in addition to the “WTF actual goods and/or services are being sold here?” aspect.

I ain’t the smartest chip on the motherboard, but the whole NFT thing seemed like a shitshow wrapped in a scam from the outset.

I’m in Texas to see the future

I agree in many ways with Bill. Right where my parents used to live in Houston is now the Energy Corridor, housing a huge number of novel green and hi tech energy companies. West Texas ranchers are making money off of Wind Turbines rather than oil leases. The fact that they can move oil workers over to these businesses makes the transition easier. Cheap land near major universities also attract businesses. This is one reason I am thinking Texas will move left over the next few years. Because these companies attract the same sort of youngsters as Silicon Valley hitech. Houston added over 100,000 people last year and over 100,000 the year before. Dallas added even more. Austin and San Antonio each added over 100,000. Three quarters came from outside the state. They do not want to live in anti-abortion, LGBTQ places.

Hope I am right.

Some genius on FR thought Trump should be put in charge of the rebuilding because as long as there wasn’t bureaucratic intervention (like inspections, I suppose) it could be done in a few months. It would also be relatively cheap because the people building the bridge would be good, hardworking, salt-of-the-earth Americans who would work overtime for Trump without demanding overtime pay.

And Merle grew out of that mindset as he got older, later not looking so fondly on his 1969 self that wrote and recorded that song:

Haggard told The Boot that he wrote the song after he became disheartened watching Vietnam War protests and incorporated that emotion and viewpoint into song. Haggard says, “When I was in prison, I knew what it was like to have freedom taken away. Freedom is everything. During Vietnam, there were all kinds of protests. Here were these [servicemen] going over there and dying for a cause—we don’t even know what it was really all about. And here are these young kids, that were free, bitching about it. There’s something wrong with that and with [disparaging] those poor guys.” He states that he wrote the song to support the troops. “We were in a wonderful time in America, and music was in a wonderful place. America was at its peak, and what the hell did these kids have to complain about? These soldiers were giving up their freedom and lives to make sure others could stay free. I wrote the song to support those soldiers.”[1]

In a 2010 interview with American Songwriter, Haggard called the song a “character study,” his 1969 self being the character: “It was the photograph that I took of the way things looked through the eyes of a fool… and most of America was under the same assumptions I was. As it’s stayed around now for 40 years, I sing the song now with a different attitude onstage… I’ve become educated… I play it now with a different projection. It’s a different song now. I’m different now.”[2]

‘Trump in 2028’: GOP-aligned organization calls for abolition of presidential term limits

One of the coalition members of the far-right Heritage Foundation’s “Project 2025” presidential transition plan is proposing to overhaul the US Constitution to keep former President Donald Trump in power beyond the eight-year limit.

The American Conservative — one of the 100 advisory groups to Project 2025 — recently published a call to repeal the 22nd Amendment as a means of allowing Trump to seek a “second consecutive term” in the White House if he wins in November. That amendment has been in place since 1951, and stipulates that presidents can’t spend more than eight years in office, whether in two back-to-back terms or staggered between other administrations.

“If, by 2028, voters feel Trump has done a poor job, they can pick another candidate; but if they feel he has delivered on his promises, why should they be denied the freedom to choose him once more?” writer Peter Tonguette proposed. “As with Prohibition, it is simply a matter of finding the will to get rid of a bad idea that needlessly limits Americans’ freedom.”

“Trump in 2028!” he added.

The call to repeal the 22nd Amendment is merely the latest extreme proposal to come from a Project 2025 ally. Politico previously reported that Russell Vought of the Center for Renewing America (CRA) — another one of the initiative’s coalition partners — is aiming to implement numerous Christian nationalist policies should Trump win in November.

But none of those bands were “country western.” CW is a very specific type of cheap sentimental music, by the likes of Merle Haggard, Lee Greenwood, etc., often with a right wing slant. The kind of music they featured on “Hee Haw.”

That’s why I say Americana is not the same as “country western.”

yeah, i find myself listening to the Bakersfield Beat on Sirius, and it’s surprising the full range of what country really was back in the 60’s, for instance. I’d listen to it more but for some reason they decided every goddamned third song needs to be Dwight Yoakum. He’s fine, but I don’t need him every third song.

Instead of the pointless sell-by date:

About three dozen members of Congress have sponsored legislation, known as the Food Date Labeling Act of 2023, that would require manufacturers to use only “best if used by” and “use by.” The bill also has support from at least 20 retailers and brands, including Whole Foods, Amazon, Kroger, Walmart, and Nestlé — the companies signed a letter to lawmakers in February encouraging them to pass the bill.

I’m in Texas to see the future

I agree in many ways with Bill. Right where my parents used to live in Houston is now the Energy Corridor, housing a huge number of novel green and hi tech energy companies. West Texas ranchers are making money off of Wind Turbines rather than oil leases. The fact that they can move oil workers over to these businesses makes the transition easier. Cheap land near major universities also attract businesses. This is one reason I am thinking Texas will move left over the next few years. Because these companies attract the same sort of youngsters as Silicon Valley hitech. Houston added over 100,000 people last year and over 100,000 the year before. Dallas added even more. Austin and San Antonio each added over 100,000. Three quarters came from outside the state. They do not want to live in anti-abortion, LGBTQ places.

Hope I am right.

Every election we see signs and people chiding those moving here not to bring their California values.

‘That’s insane’: Trump slammed for ‘comparing his plight to that of Jesus’ before Easter

Donald Trump just shared an article comparing himself to Jesus, one day before Easter celebrations.

Trump, who has long been accused of narcissism that equates to blasphemy for some Christians, on Saturday posted an article to his Truth Social platform that makes the religious comparison. Truth Social is the ex-president’s social media company, which recently went public but is expected by some experts to tank.

The article that Trump shared is titled, “The Crucifixion of Donald Trump.”

I remain open to the idea that we test the theory by nailing him to a cross for three days and seeing what happens./

rehab for Mom was a good call…it gave my sister a break at night (she spent most of the days there so Mom wouldn’t feel abandoned) and gave Mom a chance to recover from the hernia surgery. She wasn’t able to keep down solid food (or her meds) for about a week after the surgery. But now she’s able to walk down the hall to the nurse’s station, get to the bathroom, even visit with my brother who is in a room on the same floor (sadly, he will never be going home).
