@bluesenthused The Cold Stares are great! I bought my custom shop strat from Chris a few years back that he used on one of their earlier releases (it's a great strat too!)
The NYC hospital my wife has worked for 20 years serving a needed population in Lower Manhattan as a cardiologist is now closing. Another sad loss for NYC and a huge adjustment for my family as she now has to find a new job.
The hospital property will be turned into luxury condos in short order.

As Mount Sinai Beth Israel Hospital Faces Closure, Patient Care Suffers - The New York Times
Contrary to the propaganda I was sold in elementary school, the #cops are NOT our friends and do NOT exist to "protect and serve" anything other than the status quo of white power and privilege (and/or their own violent sociopathy).
@corbin_lambeth The ties of the Israeli Zionist state and the US run deep into the security/police state - it's not just lobbying influence on the Federal level. The IDF trains US urban police forces and you can see the outcome of that alliance here. It's deeply problematic as an American to watch our citizens suffer repression because they disagree with the brutal policy of another foreign state. It's fucking untenable.
@samvarma Those USA Schecter Nick Johnson's are nice..had one and sold it. Every time I want a Music Man and then I play it and it's like "It's great but why is the neck a toothpick?"
@samvarma I have the same issue with the Ibanez Josh Smith I picked up …slightly bigger than a Music Man but not much. The strings are all squished together
It’s always been obvious. Trump’s been a Russian operative–or a useful idiot for them–from the get-go. Remember 2016, when he openly requested that Putin interfere with our elections. Since then, it’s been a lovefest.
There's a reason adjudicated fraud, sexual abuser, defamer, and 88 felonies charged Trump cozies up to Putin. Putin helped Trump win his first term, and now Trump owes him. It was never about 'America First', it's always been about satisfying the dictator he's indebted to.
It all started in 1987 when the KGB paid for his trip to Moscow. In 2008 when Dmitry Rybolovlev bought his palm beach property for twice what trump had just paid for it…(and I have no doubt there are even earlier data points for when putin began grooming trump)…imagine how easy it must have been for a KGB agent to dupe him.
@skykiss Somehow he wiggled himself into a small space between the Russian mobs and the FBI, and is a useful tool to both - probably in helping to eliminate the Mafia in NYC. Made some FBI careers, eliminated competition for the Russian Mob. (And yes I know the Russian Mob and the KGB/FSB is the same thing)
