#Prediction: #Montana’s Senator #JonTester will lose this fall, and Republicans will take the Senate.

In each of his previous wins, the margin of victory was razor thin - he can’t afford to lose ANY votes... and yet, in a jaw-dropping and unforced error, there he is on the top ten list of politicians taking money from #AIPAC.

50 years ago today, the #GratefulDead bring the wall of sound to #montana. spring ’74, show #2, now “dave’s picks 9”: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=D_RiiRe2sns&t=6s [1/6]

5/14/74 missoula: without the washoe zephyr blowing, a much tighter show. potent LOSER, “sweet susie” returns. 2nd SCARLET BEGONIAS finds a little flight with cool wah-wah rhodes & donna vocalizing over jam, though very much (to my ears) about having a fun new weir-involved rhythmic/harmonic conversation; all working together to click it to fresh space, before landing in IT MUST HAVE BEEN THE ROSES. casually brilliant k. godchaux throughout, especially 21-minute PLAYING IN THE BAND. [2/6]

centerpiece of the show is 48-minute WEATHER REPORT SUITE > DARK STAR > CHINA DOLL, elegant ’74 dead. LET IT GROW widens & dissolves into restless pre-verse DARK STAR jamming, nearly dissolving into ’69-ish arpeggio diamonds. post-verse noise blossoms, opening from garcia’s thick fuzztone into free freakout that opens to 5+ minutes of kreutzmann-led jazz dancing. the wild fuzz returns for CHINA DOLL via a psychedelic split guitar signal, the clean tone running in parallel. [3/6]

"This July, I will turn 100 years old. I was born in 1924 in one of the last encampments and raised in Blacktail. When we were young girls, my sister, who was 10 at the time, and I, just 8 years old, attended a mission school for a year and a half."

Hi there, I’m #RyanBusse and I’m running to be the next Governor of Montana. I’m a father, a husband, a hunter, and a proud Montanan who wants our great state to be a place where all of our freedoms are protected.
Even Aldo's.

@makkhorn Why do they call themselves hunters? They use a gun. They shoot. They’re shooters.

I'm taking Shylo for a check-up on Monday. Fasting for 4 to 6 hours? I better eat a big breakfast by 8AM, then. I'm going to get pretty hungry by the afternoon. Shylo watching from her warm Sunday sunbeam as a neighbor dog gets escorted to its outdoor litterbox...

A real study here on Safe Parking and homelessness:

"As vehicular homelessness increases in the United States, safe parking programs have proliferated.... JFS SPP has a 40% positive exit rate, with younger clients, women, veterans, and families more likely to exit into housing. Second, JFS SPP is preferred over shelters by persons who have used both services. This preference is especially important for older clients and clients with disabilities for whom safe parking is a safety net. Finally, increasing access to lots and services would benefit all clients, including families, seniors, and individuals with nontraditional schedules." https://www.tandfonline.com/doi/full/10.1080/10511482.2024.2313511

ai6yr,

"We have identified three key findings from the research described here: (a) safe parking programs bolster upward cycles for those with the capacity to work, draw on social ties, or access housing assistance; (b) safe parking programs prevent downward spirals for those with fewer resources by acting as safety net, are preferred as a safety net by clients who have used both safe parking programs and emergency shelters over the latter, and provide greater access to resources than is possible through street outreach efforts; and (c) expanded access to lots, case management, and showers would benefit all clients of safe parking programs."
