Oh, the shark babe has such teeth dear
And it shows them pearly white
Just a jackknife has old MacHeath babe
And he keeps it ah out of sight

Just out on Beth Gibbons' new track Sand River. Setting a nice chill mood on the edge of melancholy. It could fit in an old low stakes casino full of mid-day elderly gamblers just passing the time. Have some Matua Sauvignon Blanc and Italo Cescon Pinot Grigio chilling in the fridge.
Having to depend on my mobile phone for all my Internet actually put things in perspective.
It means no Netflix. No Alexa. No downloading 80GB video games off Steam.
I get it, first world problem. But also, itโs made me realize how important it is that I have books, CDs, DVDs, and cartridges. Or just data stored locally on my hard drive.
I donโt want to live in a world where everything is streamed and we own nothing.

I went through the long process of encoding all my CDs, DVDs, and Blu-ray onto a NAS. So I still have my owned copies of everything, but still with the convenience of streaming.

As a Major League Rugby who is also a hockey fan, the PWHL is off to a great start with the broadcast quality and accessibility. And the attendance in the games I've watched has been fantastic for a league in its first month of play!
You want to know why Trump will never be charged for any of his crimes?
Because that will establish a pattern of holding rich people responsible for their criminal behavior. And the powers that be cannot abide something like that.
But you liberals just keep on insisting it's finally his "fuck around and find out" moment.

Trump was not only charged with real estate fraud in NY, but he's already been found guilty in that case, and the judge is determining the penalty. The DA is seeking $370M and a lifetime ban on doing business in New York. @CosmicTrigger
