My McAfee anti viral software subscription is up in November and I want to shop around to see what's out there to replace it.

Trump in the China Shop
Trump isn't making peace, he's breaking it across the globe, and instilling ill will for the US around the world. He's on the brink of an illegal invasion of Venezuela, possibly Iran, and escalating the Ukraine proxy war with Russia. As a finale for the political circus ring master, there are tariffs and sanctions here, tariffs and sanctions there, tariffs and sanctions everywhere...all bound to boomerang right back to the US. Looks like the Don's goal is to hasten the end of the US/NATO empire...that certainly appears to be the inevitable outcome to me.
Album of the Week 10-25-25
Submitted by joe shikspack on Sat, 10/25/2025 - 3:00pmAfternoon folks!
There's some great blues for you all to listen to this week. Starting off, there's an album of mostly live recordings from the American Folk Blues Festival in Europe from 1962 with a great lineup of talent including Memphis Slim, Muddy Waters, Otis Spann, Matt Guitar Murphy and Sonny Boy Williamson. Following that are albums from Eddy Clearwater and west coast harmonica player William Clarke. After that it's on to the rock department with a band you've likely heard of, Los Lobos recorded live and we finish up in the diversity department with a 1980's album from Canadian folk-rock guitarist and songwriter Bruce Cockburn.
Enjoy the tunes and have a great weekend!

Hey, good people!
Monday in el's ot, I bitched about a judge being insulting to me, my client, and the attorney aligned with my client's child.
On Wednesday, the ruling was sent out to the parties, and it was in favor of my client.

Open Thread - 10-24-2025 - A bit of Economics and Medical Care
Submitted by studentofearth on Fri, 10/24/2025 - 4:09amIn the midst of season change. Last of the hay was stacked in the barn this week. Cattle and donkeys are complaining about the quality of the grass in the field. Maybe if they were let into another field it would taste better. Active imagination and dissatisfaction with the status quo is not limited to humans.
