Earthling2 and I go to the grocery store once every four to six weeks at a local co-op called Winco.
It's an employee owned operation, or so they claim, but they have the cheapest prices around.
interesting content but requires subscription
they offer a free weekly email for those interested
By now we should know about the Bernie Sanders/ Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez "Fighting Oligarchy" rallies. People are clearly desperate, and the notion of two members of the political class, Congress, claiming to "fight oligarchy" would seem to be an indicator of that desperation. Note that I am not saying that there is anything wrong with members of Congress holding rallies. It's probably better on balance than unrestrained rule of the public mind by the mainstream media.

My most eccentric opinion is my firm belief that the politicians we see through mass media are all mere actors projecting a fictional “government” that supposedly can be turned out in the next election if enough voters so desire. But I believe that the actual management of the government is conducted without cameras being present by personalities whose names are none of our business.
I can’t prove this assertion because the real action takes place out of sight.
Last week I made a comment that began, "I ain't a Trumpeteer but I also don't have TDS." Unfortunately it was read as if I finished the sentence with "like you". That is not what I said nor intended to imply. However I can understand their sensitivity since others have called them Trump deranged. Words in a blog are often misunderstood, however that's not really what I want to address. Down thread it was stated that accusations of TDS are intellectually lazy. I'm sure there are Trumpeteers that use TDS to defend him for all his craziness, but not to see the massive extent of an engineered psyop of "Orange man bad" is also naive. Let me explain below the fold...
So much attention has been given to obviously unqualified Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth's Signal messages, that the media has mostly overlooked what the leaked war plans were about.
Afternoon folks!
This week we start out with a couple of albums from blues harmonica players, Snooky Pryor and Sam Myers, followed by some serious acoustic country blues from John Jackson. After that there's Gil Scott-Heron's double album of jazz and blues from the bicentennial era. Then it's on to blues-rock with two albums featuring guitarist Peter Green, the first at his peak from his tenure in John Mayall's Bluesbreakers and then a late career album from him. Finishing us up is an album of prog rock from Gentle Giant.
Enjoy the tunes and have a great weekend!
