Yeah, still Mother Jones has been pretty good about reporting on the situation in Gaza. MJ and Zeteo are the only things I still subscribe to.

The GOP SCOTUS certainly put another piece in place today.

True, this. Trump paid for at least a few abortions, but now he brags about getting Roe overturned. Trump is just the trained monkey for the real powers behind the throne.

Hard to believe that a new poll in swing states says that Donald Trump will better protect our democracy than Joe Biden. It just goes to prove how stupid the average American is.

In 1970, Willie Dixon came out with I Am The Blues.
It was a collection of songs he had written for other people.

Skip James had an amazing voice. And was a damn good guitar player.

If I had to pick the most hauntingly beautiful blues song ever, it wouldn't be by Robert Johnson or Leadbelly (sorry, Kurt Cobain). Or even Led Zeppelin or the Stones.
It would be Skip James - Hard Time Killing Floor

You may have heard a famous rock band covering this song.

But here is the original. Real Mississippi blues.
It doesn't get more authentic than this.
You Gotta Move

That one starts at 2:50 and has another section from towards the end. Know it well.

Not exactly a Breonna Taylor case, where they broke in in the middle of the night while they were sleeping. That guy saw who he was shooting at.

Small island nations like Vanuatu face a series of unique challenges when it comes to plastic pollution. Many rely on imported goods to sustain their populations, and receive tons of plastic packaging every day as a result.

It's a shame they didn't talk about the Wagner Group in Africa.
Or all of the farmland that Bill Gates has bought in the USA.
More than anyone else. At least 269,000 acres.
Gates knows a good investment when he sees it.

MSNBC did a segment tonight on The 11th Hour about the new documentary The Grab.
If you get a chance to see the repeat, please do it. And please see The Grab. It's important!

Day 18 - Son

Well father said, "Eldest son, kill the fatted calf,
Call the family round
Kill that calf and call the family round
My son was lost but now he is found
Cause that's the way for us to get along"

For Joan, who loved the Grateful Dead in all their incarnations and would have been there at the Sphere, but a fungus she caught in Arizona called Valley Fever took her back in February.
Really miss you Joan. You were the best of us.

Whatever you do, don't lose any more weight. You're getting too skinny.

It's starting to feel like it might be another long one. 🙄

And the dawn comes sneaking up
When it thinks I'm not looking;
I am starting to grieve, man,
But I'm sorry I woke you,
I mean I've got the no sleep blues.

When are you starting the new ones? Should I check later to see if you're still breathing? Or are you waiting until you finish that?

I think you posted that one once on that other social media site that will go unnamed. Good song. I think most of us could relate to that one.

And went straight to bed & sleep. I see a lot of people didn't know where that song came from. (I only knew it existed because you made me listen to it)
