More than 50 years after it was recorded, this remains one of the most incredible, horizon-shattering pieces of piano music I’ve ever heard, from Keith Jarrett’s first solo album for ECM,“Facing You.”
I know I’ve almost certainly posted this before, but in regards to Moby Grape, this was three songs off the Monterey concert set. If you want a real taste of the San Francisco sound, the second cut here has Jefferson Airplane elements all through the guitars, only Moby Grape was a tighter stage group than Airplane (they could sing tight harmonies while working their asses off playing):

Missing Mom so much today. Been more than 5 years since she passed. An amazing lady who grew up in North Dakota and went from recovery room nurse to hospital operations manager. I remember taking her to the Mamma Mia movie. As we left, I mentioned it was really enjoyable, but Pierce Brosnan couldn’t sing. She said, “I know, but he looked SO good!” That was Mom.
You’ve no doubt heard that the Great Library of Alexandria was destroyed in a fire and with it, centuries of knowledge, learning & prose.
But that’s not the ACTUAL story.
The TRUE story of the destruction of the Great Library of Alexandria has more to teach us than the myth.

‘He asserts that he does this to help “clean up the street.”’

Secondly, considering inflation, does anyone even check a 5-dollar bill anymore? … he might be just victimizing the businesses … you know, the businesses conservatives allegedly support

I’m racking my brain trying to understand the mindset that would drive a person to, effective or not, attempt to send a destitute human being, who is starving on the streets, to prison on a trumped up charge of counterfeiting.

re: #5 Charles Johnson
We had a meeting with our senior manager last week. This guy is new to our group (our former senior manager got bumped down a level in the reshuffle) but I’ve worked with him for years. Which is to say that some people are more privileged than others. He’s working at home right now, because his wife had surgery and his mother in law needs someone “around.” I was rather ticked off when I heard that, because I was told last year that I couldn’t work at home to be closer to my mother. Yeah, I’m still angry about that.
I also miss my mother terribly. When I was in the grocery store last week, I saw all the stuff for Mother’s Day and very nearly started crying in the deli section. I did my thing and got out of there as soon as possible.

I had to deal with his evil mother.
I am really restraining myself when I call her evil. She was the ultimate Ayn Randian anti-Semitic nightmare to work for. She gladly would lie, cheat, steal and backstab to get her way. She repeatedly tried to fire me because she hated Jews. And of course since she have lots of GOP connections she could pull the right strings to be absolved of any offenses. Of course she got promoted as a result.
Prior to being hired by Social Security she ran the Bakers Square restaurant chain and she succeeded in borrowing so much money from creditors that she drove the company into insolvency…and of course like any other Republican CEO she got a nice big fat golden parachute while franchise owners got the shaft…and the workers…well Little Ms Golden Parachute gave them a Golden Shower. looting the pension and health care funds.

I object to this, because the atheists I know are far more likely to follow the actual teachings of Jesus even if we don’t think he was actually a deity (or maybe didn’t exist as a singular person). Atheists who believe in humanism do feed the hungry and clothe the naked, just not for religious reasons.

Incarcerating someone costs the taxpayers approximately $30,000 per year, each. None of these people would be destitute if we just gave them some of that money instead.

If there is one film that Roger Corman should be remember for it’s this one—William Shatner in THE INTRUDER.

Who just shows up to cause trouble. The film is way ahead of its time when you consider the strife we are encountering in 2020. Watch it!

Many such stories have been shared the past couple of years.
As I have preached (!?) here for many years, the worldview collapse is ongoing, for the religious in this country.
That so many have glommed onto a kind of ethno-nationalism and uber-macho rhetoric tells us that the unraveling is going along as expected.
As I also keep noting, many in the Russian Orthodox hierarchy appear to be happy with Putin’s strong-man approach to Russian nationalism.

…a Holy Boner???
A Catholic priest in England was reported by his parishioners after he allegedly told them Jesus died with an erection. The Times of London reports that the diocese of Hexham & Newcastle investigated the complaint against Father Thomas McHale—an American assigned to Our Blessed Lady Immaculate in Blackhill for a decade—and it was “upheld.” While McHale was reprimanded, he has not lost his position as a result of the Good Friday sermon that some of his flock deemed vulgar. McHale is said to have told those in the pews that when Jesus was crucified, blood would have rushed to his lower body. “He told people Jesus died with an erection,” one church-goer told the Times. “The church was shocked. There were young families there.” McHale is hardly the first to discuss the possibility that Jesus’ asphyxiation could have caused an erection, and the possibility has even been suggested in art through the years.
Went for a drive with my wife Mary to celebrate Mother’s Day. We relished the time alone in the car and talked and talked until we arrived at a saddle where the paved road ended. I had some luck finding flowers at this location a year ago, so it made sense to stop and have a look around. Mary went one way and I went the other. A few moments later we were both found these beautiful plants at the same time. She took a picture with her iphone to show me and then came over to see what I was working on. A nice way to enjoy the day!

You can’t shame evangelicals by pointing out the pain and suffering that they’re inflicting on women by banning abortion because they think the pain and suffering is the point of the whole exercise. They’ll end up either blaming the woman, blaming “woke,” or just blame “God” by saying that it’s part of some “plan” only he’s privy to and expect you to accept it and move on.

The big church in Rockwall:
[Embedded content]
On Sunday’s the traffic out of the church requires police on Ralph Hall to keep it flowing somewhat reasonably. And you don’t want to be caught on the frontage road when people are trying to get to church or trying to leave. But still.
This is absolutely NO surprise to me. The “pastor” of Lakepointe is Josh Howerton, who most recently got chewed out online for a tasteless joke he told during a sermon.
In a February 2024 sermon, the megachurch pastor shared what he described as a “gold nugget of advice” from the church’s recent “Marriage Night” event. He first told the men in the audience that women have been planning their entire lives for their wedding days.
“So here’s what you need to do, man,” he said. “When it comes to that day, just stand where she tells you to stand, wear what she tells you to wear and do what she tells you to do. You’ll make her the happiest woman in the world.”
He then reversed the advice for women on their wedding nights.
“Now, ladies, when it comes to his wedding night, he has been planning this day his whole life,” he said, “so just stand where he tells you to stand, wear what he tells you to wear and do what he tells you to do, and you’re going to make him the happiest man in the world.”
Sheila Gregoire, an author who has written several books for Christian women about sexuality, shared a clip of Howerton’s comments toward women in a tweet last week that has been viewed over a million times. “If you think this is funny, you may want to ask the women in your life if they find you safe and kind,” Gregoire wrote in the thread.
Why is anyone wondering why so many women would rather run into a bear than a man in the woods? Because with a bear, you know how they’re going to be. You have no idea what it’s going to be like. You could end up with a nice guy, or you could end up with a Josh Howerton, who basically thinks newlywed women should just give it up for sexual assault.

Bear in mind that you don’t have to try to spend counterfeit currency to be arrested and charged with a federal crime, all a federal prosecutor needs to put you away for up to 20 years is proof that you intended to pass off the bills as real.

Nah, it’s the “cleaning the streets” horseshit that says that “woke” government won’t take steps to get the homeless off the streets and out of eyesight because being homeless is not a crime, so they’re deliberately getting the homeless in trouble with the law to “clean up the streets.”

There in lies the rub, as while a well-represented defendant can probably fight such charges by showing they had no idea that the bill was fake, the odds that many of the homeless will receive such representation in a federal court is slim. Most will likely just get a public defender who advises them to take whatever deal the prosecutor is offering and “do their time.”

One in the pair was trapped for seven hours, according to the department.

Comedian meets woman from a cult at her show and everyone is saying the same thing
A TikTok of a comedian’s stand-up routine has gone viral after one of the audience members shared they were in a “cult”, and everyone’s saying the same thing.Comedian Gabby Bryan asked two audience members how they knew each other, and in an unexpected turn of events one shared, “I was in the same cult as her fiancé.”
The woman described the cult, which was active in Silicon Valley, Oxford and Boston, as, “just people trying to make the world a better place […] using math and stuff” and also claimed that there were ‘orgies’ towards the end of the cult’s existence.
The clip has racked up over 1.8 million views, but if you open the comments, you’ll notice they’re all saying the same thing: the woman’s description of the “cult” sounds like effective altruism.

It would be too salacious for McDougal to testify since she’s not testifying to the paperwork involved in the case, but rather the affair she had.

Michael Cohen is on his way to take to the stand in Donald Trump’s criminal trial over his alleged hush-money payments to Stormy Daniels.As Trump’s former attorney and “fixer,” Cohen is considered to be the star witness in the case, and an indication that the “hush money” trial is entering its final stages.
Well now we know which Federalist Society Stooge judge in Texas killed Biden’s Credit Card Fee cap!
A Trump-appointed judge on Friday delivered a win for big banks when he granted the U.S. Chamber of Commerce a temporary injunction halting a Biden administration rule that would cap credit card fees at $8.
The Consumer Financial Protection Bureau (CFPB) rule, which would have gone into effect May 14, could save U.S. consumers more than $10 billion each year. The decision to pause its implementation, issued by U.S. District of the Northern District of Texas Judge Mark Pittman, will cost ordinary Americans around $27 million each day it is in effect.
“In their latest in a stack of lawsuits designed to pad record corporate profits at the expense of everyone else, the U.S. Chamber got its way for now—ensuring families get price-gouged a little longer with credit card late fees as high as $41,” Liz Zelnick, the director of the Economic Security and Corporate Power Program at accountable.us, said in a statement.

A bank in neighboring Virginia that has served the Justice family for decades has begun the process of collecting on more than $300 million in defaulted loans.
Some of the family business’s prized assets, chief among them the 246-year-old Greenbrier resort, are in the bank’s sights, and collections on the governor’s personal bank accounts and even his house are now a possibility. In West Virginia, the tax authorities have placed liens on Greenbrier properties for millions in unpaid taxes, only months after auctioning off tax-delinquent properties owned by the governor elsewhere in the state.

Even if I owned a gun, it would be there for rattlesnakes on the trail or intruders in the night, not for settling disputes at a social gathering.
I carry a .44 Mag Ruger Redhawk when I’m out in the weeds here on the conspiracy farm. I have shotshells for rattlesnakes (though I would hate like hell to shoot one and would avoid it if possible). I have regular 240 grain FMJ for feral hogs. I am less squeamish about shooting the hogs. I still don’t enjoy it, though, and I understand less and less all the time why people do enjoy it.
I’m gonna go out on a limb and say that prosecutors are going to rest their case after Cohen finishes on cross/redirect. They’ve made their case, and have introduced corroborating testimony, audio, and paper receipts of the sham transactions to cover up payments - the falsifying business records.
Trump’s still kvetching about how his base can’t bother to show up, and making excuses that it’s due to security around the courthouse, while ignoring that the entire reason there needs to be security is that Trump has repeatedly threatened witnesses, jurors, and the courthouse staff.
He is in trouble, and is starting to realize that all of his legal chicanery isn’t going to work in NY.

The real base of the Republican Party, the yokel gentry, are doomed.
Having a virtual convention would be the best idea.
President Joe Biden’s top advisers are all too aware the ghosts of 1968 may haunt their convention here, but they’re grappling with a pair of more urgent and thoroughly modern-day challenges as summer nears: How far can they go in reprising their virtual 2020 convention to mitigate the threat of disruption inside the arena, and how will they navigate a rookie mayor who unabashedly sympathizes with protesters?
Trumpeting the success of their Covid-era convention four years ago, some in Biden’s orbit are aggressively pushing to make the 2024 conclave a hybrid production. That would mean in-person speeches from the president, party luminaries and rising stars to draw television attention alongside a mix of pre-recorded testimonials and videos from other parts of the country.
The goal: drive maximum viewership on television and the internet while minimizing live programming and openings for protest in Chicago’s United Center. This would mean moving party business, such as rules and platform votes, off the floor and denying would-be demonstrators a chance to seize on contentious debates.

Of all the bingo cards, in all of the bingo-carded universes, none of them had Lawrence Taylor showing up at a campaign rally for Donald Trump.This isn’t the weirdest thing to happen involving Trump. That list is long. It would stretch across oceans. This was, however, up there. A Hall of Fame linebacker, who is a registered sex offender stumping for Trump, who was found civilly liable last year for sexual abuse. It is impossible to make this up but it’s also America in 2024.
“I just wanted to say I grew up a Democrat and I’ve always been a Democrat until I met this man right here,” Taylor said, speaking of Trump. “He will not have to worry nobody in my family ever voting for a Democrat again.”

re: #209 Dr Lizardo

They are under no obligation to call anyone. They can simply state that prosecutors failed to provide evidence beyond a reasonable doubt that Trump committed these crimes, and leave it at that.
They will probably call no one to the stand, as they’ve been able to cross prosecution witnesses, with astounding results (Daniels thoroughly demolished Trump’s defense lawyer with a few well timed quips).

Eric Trump breaks judge’s rules by attacking witness Michael Cohen from courtroom
Eric Trump was seen using his cell phone in a Manhattan courtroom after New York Justice Juan Merchan forbade using mobile devices.

Hold a hearing, see if there was any coordination, and then fine both Trumps. Prosecutors will likely hear about this during lunch, and will have discussions ahead of testimony resuming.

As per the gag order ruling - if Trump directed someone to engage in the bad conduct, Trump will be directly held accountable as violating the order.

Also to avoid any possible future litigation over Biden not being a valid candidate in those states which have deadlines before the Dem convention.
Conventions have long been nothing but a way to spend a lot of money by attendees to have a vacation.
And for TV media to get something for which to sell advertisement.
All the nomination and voting can be done remotely, safely, and reliably.
If then Biden wants a rally in Chicago then fine. Have big rallies. Trump knows how useful they are.

Hope that is true but only one MAGAt on the jury will be enough for him to avoid conviction. After years of his avoiding serious consequences for his lifetime of crime, aided by the courts this year (Cannon and the sleazy 6), I am dispirited about the possibility of his finally facing justice.

re: #243 Eclectic Cyborg
Intended for display with gym excuse.
I’ve spent thousands (yes, thousands) of hours working on genealogy using DNA the past 9 years, and the DNA testing has been vital to my discoveries and affirming various known relationships.
But the profound realization that I hope everybody gets to share is that our past is not what we presume it to be.
Some of the diehard genealogists of old, from the UK as well as a few other European countries with deep records, have built family trees that can go back 10 generations or more.
And I can do that to, for most of my ancestral lines.
But the reality is this: what is on paper is not what is in the DNA.
NPE rates have been estimated all over the place, but seem to be between 1% and 3% historically.
What that means is that your 10-generation pedigree (back to your 8th great grandparents) is not reality.
Of those 1024 (assuming no pedigree collapse) 8th great grandparents, with even just a 1% NPE rate, the average person will have a few hundred of those 8GGPs which are not who they thought they were.
If we could do a real sampling we’d find the extremes: someone for whom all 10 generations are accurate, and those for whom the entire pedigree is in error (a secret adoption case.)
Most of us will be in-between.
Application outside of family history: All of history as written is full of errors.
Pacifica woman swam to the Farallon Islands yesterday - first attempt to swim from the mainland to the islands (note - Farallons are breeding ground for Great Whites)
Amy Appelhans Gubser of Pacifica, California became just the sixth solo swimmer to cross the notorious Gulf of the Farallones, off the coast of San Francisco - and the FIRST to swim in the outbound direction.
The Farallon swim has a reasonable claim to be the toughest marathon swim in the world - with typically cold, rough water, ripping winds, swirling currents, and “interesting” marine life.
Immersing under the Golden Gate Bridge at 3:25am local time, Amy rode a ripping ebb tide about 1/3 of the way to the island in just 4 hours; she then gutted out the remaining distance in 13 hours to finish at Fisherman Bay, SE Farallon Island in the waning daylight. Total straight-line distance of 29.7 miles (47.8km) in a bit over 17 hours (specifics to be posted when available).
Amy’s swim was supported by John Chapman, Abby Fairman, Kirk McKinney, Ken Mignosa, Sarah Roberts, and John Sims, and piloted by Capt. Chad Dahlberg on the Pacific Rival. Amy encountered water temps ranging from 43F (6.1C) to 57F (13.8C).
re: #245 Love-Child of Cassandra and Sisyphus
Heinlein used to say that anyone who thought he knew his family tree three generations back was backing a losing bet (or something to that effect). There was a memoir by an obstetrician a while ago, in which he said that he knew (from incompatible blood types) that the parentage of 10% of the babies he delivered was not what was on the birth certificate… which means significantly more than that were actually incorrect.

The problem with Cohen, is while I could 100% believe all of the things he has said about Trump, I could also 100% believe he would make up anything he had to to put Trump away. If I were a juror I would probably have to disregard anything he said that wasn’t directly backed by physical evidence like documents or recordings.

Prosecutors pretty much said as much too - and Cohen also noted that he lied, repeatedly for Trump. They are having him identify the transactions from the paper records he and the Trump org created around these criminal acts. That’s strong and persuasive, but it’s also interesting that the defense isn’t making too many objections here.

“Be prepared. There’s going to be a lot of women coming forward,” Trump told his then-lawyer, according to Cohen’s testimony at Trump’s Manhattan criminal trial.
Cohen said Trump told him to prepare for a barrage of negative press about Trump’s past. He corroborated witness David Pecker’s testimony that Trump entered into an agreement with the publisher of The National Enquirer to quash some of those stories.
