I love good weird music, from all recorded time & from all over the joint. Also good ale, good & bad movies, hockey. My best friend is a big big dog. I'm left-handed & left of center. PA to Denver, Denver to Alaska, sadly back in PA. Help.

If you look at the things this one posts, it becomes quickly obvious that he's very confused. Half the stuff appears anti-trump, half is full-on stupid. "Russia hoax" was enough justification for me to block him.

When I finally escaped this town I first moved to Williamsport PA & went to college. I still have friends there, that I haven't seen for 35 years & never talk to. The local paper there used to be very conservative, so it surprised me a lot when I saw this.
Williamsport Sun-Gazette liked my comment on their story about a warship being sent to Latin America. "That's a really expensive distraction from the Epstein files."

It occurs to me that AI could lead to a huge decrease in charitable donations. How do you know who to trust? Same as it ever was, but worse. Comment from a Guardian post about aid groups using fake AI "photos" to get donations.
Post from someone who wonders if charities can be trusted. "...Who knows if the images much less the charities behind them are legit" [sic]

I heard someone say that there were "close to 265" attendees at the No Kings rally in this sad little town. There were young people this time! There were even 4 or 5 persons of color! People passing by yelled & honked their horns, many in support, but some simply displaying how oblivious they are.
There were more dogs than this, but these 3 were having their own party. One is a "tripod." The good people, with signs. It was actually more crowded than this photo indicates. More good people, some sitting, but all standing up for democracy.

Center for Biological Diversity now offers the option to share their stuff on "Blueky." Little things like this amuse me greatly.
"Follow Us" section from the bottom of an email showing various social media logos. I hovered the cursor over it & the word "Blueky" popped up.

After 2 periods, the Buffalo Sabres are 150% on the power play. Wow!

Whoever's posting this thing must be using trump math.
Game stats for first 2 periods of NHL Ottawa/Buffalo game, indicating that the Sabres are "3/2" on power plays, 150%. Which is impossible, of course.

People will hate me for not wearing yellow. I just know it.

I spent so much time in that Presbyterian church when I was a kid. Sunday school, youth group, "services." My mother was a big shot there. I'm glad they're on the right side. I like the official Presbyterian stance on Israel too.

This ugly graffiti first appeared in the mid-1960s. I disagree. Clapton's music bores me, & he's a creep. If I was good at graffiti I'd start this up again, replacing "Clapton" with "Claypool." Les never bores, & he's a good person (as far as I know). Born 9/29/63.

Pennsylvania finally processed my request (made in June) to register as a Democrat instead of Independent. Now I can vote for whoever challenges Fetterman in the primary. I'm looking forward to that.

Ken Kesey, born 90 years ago today.
Quote: The answer is never the answer. What's really interesting is the mystery. If you seek the mystery instead of the answer, you'll always be seeking. I've never seen anybody really find the answer. They think they have, so they stop thinking. But the job is to seek mystery, evoke mystery, plant a garden in which strange plants grow and mysteries bloom. The need for mystery is greater than the need for an answer.

What's this saying about my mutta? You betta leave my mutta out of this!

Of course I know that people in other cultures routinely know multiple languages, but it's still surprising for me to see a caption in another language applied to something I typed. I feel so international right now.
One of my posts reposted, with an added caption in a cool-looking language with which I am quite unfamiliar.

I don't know, is that a total copout or what? Because it sounds like a total copout to me.

Official website. Would it be too difficult to format Hunter's hilarious lyrics properly? Such a lack of respect. Anyway, this song contains one of my favorite lyrics:
"Hey, now, baby, what did I do?
I shot my dog 'cause he growled at you
Valerie, won't you be good to me?"
Screengrab from Jerry Garcia official website, with information about the song "Valerie" from the album Run For The Roses. Lyrics are pasted in like a paragraph of text, not a poem. There are lots of question marks, & some commas, but I don't think there are any periods. The song was played live 102 times between 1981 & 1986, & that was the end of "Valerie." I wonder why he dropped it. Great funny words, such a pathetic character. Holy guacamole, do I really have room to paste the lyrics? & will they retain the formatting from the website? Hey, Valerie, baby, what's the matter with you? I did all of the things that you wanted me to I went downtown with my pocketknife Cut your other man but I spared his life Valerie, won't you be good to me? Valerie, baby, what's the matter with you? Come on, come on, baby, and tell me true Hey, now, baby, what did I do? I shot my dog 'cause he growled at you Valerie, won't you be good to me? Valerie, what's the matter with me? I never, never done you no wrong I sing the blues nearly all night long Valerie, what's the matter with me? You know I'd do anything you say I can't understand why you tell me "Please go away" I ain't afraid of the cold, cruel world outside No Chicken Little running from a falling sky The only thing troubles me is you If you leave me, what can I do? Valerie, won't you be true to me? You got me down on the knees of my shakin' feet Can't play the blues, 'cause of you I drop the beat Valerie, what's your complaint? I try to be everything I ain't Valerie, won't you be good to me? Valerie, won't you be good to me? Ice Nine Publishing
