Covid Chernobyl
Submitted by gjohnsit on Wed, 02/22/2023 - 1:40amI was watching Chernobyl for like the 4th time (it is such a great show) and it occurred to me how similar the original reaction to the disaster was to COVID.
"It's just a cold."
= "It's just like a chest xray."
"It's only dangerous to old people and people with pre-existing conditions."
= "Everything is under control. There's no reason to evict people living around nuclear reactor."

The news of Jimmy Carter going home for hospice care is tragic, but expected.

More Lies, Distractions, and Omissions
What's new?
After being away from the news for 3+ weeks, I've been slowly re-immersing into the cycle. To my mind the big news of the week is Sy Hersh's piece on the US and Norway (plus others) blowing up the Nord Stream pipelines...an act of terror. Though the MSM is ignoring the story, and the white house in full blown denial, Sy has been getting some alternative press coverage. He was interviewed on Democracy Now, Consortium News, and on AcTVism (which I found the best of the three). Though it was obvious to most of us the US was behind the explosion, it is nice to have the details. The other story which has been largely ignored in the MSM is the environmental catastrophe train wreck in Ohio. This story is finally getting a little coverage. Another poorly covered story is the Peace Rally today in DC, Rage Against the War Machine. Sadly TPTB have used identity politics to cause several speakers to drop out.

Album of the Week - 2-18-23
Submitted by joe shikspack on Sat, 02/18/2023 - 3:00pmAfternoon folks!
It's another good haul this week. I've uploaded a late 60's album from James Cotton and a compilation of harmonica player Junior Parker's tunes. The harmonica goodness doesn't stop there though, there's some early 70's blues rock with the J. Geils Band, the Climax Blues Band and Blues Image's second album (the one with their big hit "Ride Captain Ride" on it). Following that there's a live Emmylou Harris album on which she sings a few tunes that she did early on in her career with Gram Parsons. Finishing up is a double album of Vassar Clements, notably with David Bromberg as a sideman.
Enjoy!
