Remember when we had congressional hearings relative to THESE EXACT FIRMS ripping people off? Wasn't so long ago and definitely nothing has changed, just gotten worse!
Singer Olivia Dean slammed Ticketmaster, Live Nation and AEG Presents in an Instagram post Friday after tickets for her upcoming tour were instantly resold at hundreds of dollars more than face value, prompting the ticketing giant to cap resale prices for Dean’s tickets.
Olivia Dean Calls Ticketmaster ‘Disgusting’ Over High Ticket Resale Prices
Ticketmaster, in response, said it would cap the resale ticket prices at their original price.

Indian river fruit spray was go-to back in the day. It had the “purple smell”. Much like Master Of Reality smells when you first open the vinyl LP. They say Money House Indian Fruit is similar. Yet it too can be hard to find. So Nag Champa it is! Frankincense & myrrh works too if ya got right setup

Be nice to watch the news and all of it, or by far most, wouldn’t be political blather over and over. More of almost anything else would be an improvement.

Illuminating new research offers chemists a simple and mild method for making arynes—a challenging type of strained molecule. Using a new precursor activated by blue light, researchers were able to access elusive aryne intermediates. cen.acs.org/synthesis/re... #chemsky 🧪
Let there be light-activated arynes
Making these strained intermediates just got easier, thanks to new precursors that react in the presence of blue light

Major tragedy
Why? NASA is a crown jewel of US science and an international inspiration. Its logo adorns hoodies worn by young and old. The most famous telescopes could not have existed without Goddard and shutting down parts of it, even temporarily, cuts off the life blood for future missions. Why kill NASA?!?
