Submitted by Cassiodorus on Mon, 01/08/2024 - 8:02amOkay so there have been a lot of commentaries upon this Biden speech. Here I'm going to post Glenn Greenwald's speech. Greenwald gets to the heart of Biden's adornment of a simple argument: Trump bad, me good.

There are times when a structure is so damaged or rotten, it just isn't worth trying to repair. That's the way I currently view western governments...they promote the globalists agenda, corporate interests, and deep state directives not the needs of their own citizens. These western governments are, to my mind, irreparable. Changing the direction of the ship of state racing to crash on the shore is simply a task fighting too much inertia. Time to jump ship. My approach is to step outside the system and build for yourself, your family and community.

In this world of digital connectivity, thought I would share some snark with you.

This is not 'real' humor, just a glancing attempt at levity. Share what you have.

Snark: an attitude or expression of mocking irreverence and sarcasm.

Album of the Week 1-6-24
Submitted by joe shikspack on Sat, 01/06/2024 - 3:00pmAfternoon folks!
This week, we've got some great Chicago blues from a compilation album that features mandolinist Johnny Young, guitarist Johnny Shines and harmonica player Big Walter Horton. Following that there's some late 60's blues from Aretha Franklin. Moving on to the blues-rock category, there's a John Mayall double album on which he's joined by Eric Clapton, Mick Taylor and Harvey Mandel. Then there's The Pretty Things self-titled first 1965 album and a Lee Michaels album. After that is a Japanese bootleg of a Bob Marley concert in London (originally broadcast on the BBC) and we finish up with a studio album from Dr. John.
Enjoy and have a great weekend!
