@tonymasiello@mrcompletely@Copperdomebodhi I got to see SRV at Deer Creek the same summer he died-he was great! You know, he (w/his band Double Trouble) opened for Clapton that night and Clapton could have easily been on the same helicopter-there were four helicopters taking everyone out of Alpine. Clapton’s agent died in the crash too. Clapton had to go identify their bodies at the morgue. Just awful.
When my sister sold her home, she had her white realtor come to show the appraiser around. She LEFT HER OWN HOME during the process. Right now, my college friend is removing all signs of Blackness from her home before she puts it on the market. All art, photos, statues are being packed. All books are being turned spine in. THIS IS WHAT RACISM DOES.
@StillIRise1963@lovelylovely That’s crazy and sad. We just moved (within the same “purple” SLC area) and as much as I want to fill the yard and porch w/UT Dem candidates & Biden/Harris 2024 signs, a BLM sign, a pride flag and hang our mezuzahs in the doorways, I’m hesitant until I get a better feel for things. I’m encouraged by what I see and who we meet on our neighborhood walks w/pup, but don’t want invite hate and/or vandalism either-big bummer to feel that way.
Palm Royale on Apple: watch it! Incredible cast-too many greats to list. Kristen Wiig is lead, many other famous actors and several you will recognize, look up on IMDB and go, “Yes, that is____!” Example: Hurley’s mom from Lost. Campy, funny, great set design and costumes (very Mad Men era), feminist tropes that resonate loudly today, but entertaining w/o going that deep if you don’t want to.
@SarahSingsank Love it! So refreshing for tv & movies in terms of creativity! I will say, it caught our eye in part because that same era of Palm Beach’s socialite scene is depicted in Fued: Capote and The Swans-it’s a drama and I also recommend it!
@mrcompletely@SarahSingsank@chopaganda We started Shrinking and didn’t make past 2nd episode but maybe we should give it another go. Anything for f*cking Roy Kent!
@SarahSingsank@Nolasox@chopaganda@mrcompletely Lasso was yet another that my husband watched and requested I give a go because he wanted to rewatch (see also, Schitt’s Creek, GoT…). Oh how I love it-and have watched all the way through again w/him. Someday I will trust his review from the start!
@mrcompletely Got it, sorry I didn’t look first. Lucky to see WOMAD at my hometown venue Deer Creek way back in the day. Lenny Kravitz and Peter Gabriel were top notch! Seems like a lifetime ago…
@mrcompletely@spreaditround So last night was a fake out with that listing of astrology time?! Thanks for heads up, we are tuned in and ready to tune up!! As
I'm gonna say this once and anyone in my TL who cares can just remember it later this year
I'm a hyperpolitical radical leftist fully engaged with electoral politics on every level down to the most local. I just don't talk about it here much. I'm going to keep not talking about it here, and I'm going to mute/filter a lot of political/election related terms. This is not a sign of disengagement. I simply think all social media platforms, including this one I'm quite fond of, suck at politics.
@mrcompletely Fair enough friend! I appreciate where you are coming from and your radical left position. That’s absolutely horrifying what happened to your family friends. Hopefully I don’t annoy you too much on here, it is like screaming into the void. Funny, I go to IG to escape, the dog pictures and videos give me a nice break. Have a nice weekend!
Why aren’t the pharmaceutical corporations that make these products lobbying against this? Do the corporations that make IUDs want to shut down? Maybe they should DO SOMETHING.
@maggiejk@KrissyKat They are definitely coming for IUDs-they can track who has an IUD because they require a prescription. Prescriptions are easily traced-I posted weeks ago about major pharmacies admitting to just handing over Rx records to cops w/o warrants. IUDs go thru Dr’s offices/hospitals/clinics-they’ll get that next, HIPPA be damned. IUDs are easily traced to prescribing doctor and then the patients. Roe->IUDs->Plan B->birth control pills->?!?!
@AkaSci@GottaLaff@skykiss@lolgop I don’t need a lot of sentences (although I have many): I am an American citizen who is also a woman. I want my basic human right of bodily autonomy back. A Biden presidency and a continued democracy after him is every woman’s best path back to having full and equal human rights again. And I will never vote for a rapist. #BetOnBiden
Just watched President Bidens press conference. The press kn the country is a total embarrassment. What a bunch of big-mouthed, petulant assholes. If I were Biden, I would have told yhrm to shut the fuckbup and act dignified....
@nomadnewyork@lednabwm And ok, let’s assume for argument’s sake both too old & have memory loss. I’m going w/old memory loss guy vs. that plus: habitual sexual predator and rapist, 91 pending crim charges, 2x impeached, treasonous, drug addled, con artist w/no qualifications to be a gov leader at any level & who did best to destroy our country when he stole an election w/help from Russians. And this time around? Christofascists are more prepared to end US democracy.
Just took a look at the Goose prices. Putting aside my normal rants about the music industry eating itself, this is just plain weird.
It’s their first real “big boy” Summer tour, and they are playing many venues way too large for them. You would think the goal is growth — price low and attract more fans. But instead they’ve gone straight to Phish/Dead&Co late-stage hamband prices to extract as much as possible each show.
@chris@boelder@chopaganda Wow. And I thought $60 to see them at amazing, smaller venue last September was pricey. What’s going on w/Goose? Do they have new management/agent?
So far no one I personally know is in on the psy op talk. But I’m being diligent in trying to weed them out. I first heard about the grand Swift/Kelce conspiracy from @houseinhabit on Instagram. Led to an unfollow. I hear she’s still at it tho. This was literally the first week TS was spotted at a Chief’s game. So this psychosis isn’t exactly new. Just growing into a tv news topic. An intelligent woman that supports a candidate thats not a rapist, traitor and con man? Make it make sense. #potus
@Stoneycase@mrcompletely I read a few credible sources report that Taylor has brought in not only record new viewership but $300+million to NFL, just by going to her boyfriend’s games and being on camera ~45 seconds total. Of course that just kills thin-skinned Mango Mussolini and his MAGAt cult-he’s going to lose that much money in court tomorrow and probably be barred from doing biz in NY state. Here for it! 🍿🤣
@mrcompletely@Stoneycase 🎯Love how these idiots just dig their crazy hole deeper while she gains fans, generates big $ whilst giving out huge bonuses ($50 million last year) to her employees. (Frankly, I’m shocked the MAGAts aren’t calling her a dirty socialist for those bonuses but it happened pre-Travis and I doubt they read or cared about her before a man they knew of entered the picture.) Shirts I’ve seen are great! Hope she & Bobby do a big photo op at the game.
