My grandparents' record cabinet had a small stack of their albums because the three kids, my mother, aunt, and/or my uncle had bought them and left them at home when they went to college. I suspect it was my uncle. It wasn't my mother and she didn't go to college, actually. Anyway, they were still in the record cabinet when I moved back to my grandparents' house to go to HS the summer before 9th grade. I say back to the house because my mother and father divorced when she was pregnant and 19 and it was my first home. My mother was a Dylan fan and she kept her Dylan albums for the rest of her life. I listened to a few of the albums. They weren't for me. I can't put my finger on why. I just didn't enjoy them. I met a group of students in middle school who were huge fans when my other uncle who was a history teacher took me with a group of his students to London. I made friends with a group of students from another school and we spent out time together stating on the flight from NY. It ended when we got home with him having a talk with me asking me in a kind plaintive way why I chose to not to hang out with his kids and giving me an inevitable talk because I had been caught smoking cigarettes. He didn't find out we were leaving the London hotel at night and going to clubs. His kids had a list of places they wanted to go and things they wanted to related to the band. It was everything them. I couldn't relate.

@ShiroKuro There is a video of the segment, along with extra video they call Overtime.

I don't like it. Quelle surprise. Not a huge fan of MCM. If it's done well, I don't mind looking at it, but it's not something I could live with.

@jon-nyc said: Maybe you could try that? You already have Dewey and Mik within a two hour drive and me and Ax who often get on airplanes for piano parties… That would be amazing! Although I’m not sure I can throw a good enough party to merit people traveling for it! (It might trigger a whole new kind of stage fright!

I love the various types of paprika - Hungarian, sweet, hot, Spanish, smoked.... great stuff.

@Rontuner I just finished practicing it. It’s super easy. You should try it! It’s quite melancholy though. @chas you could whip up a recording and submit before you go on vacay?

@ShiroKuro Thank you

What a great article! Lots of great ideas and lots of things to try. And so many links! Thanks!

@DougG Great song! (The beer not so much)

4/10. AI is terrifying.

@wtg said: So Faulkner was right. https://connectedeventsmatter.com/litera/literature/literature-and-meaning/my-mother-is-a-fish-modern-reflection Now I want to read the novel. I'll put it on my bucket list.

It's one way of drawing a line of some sort after Hamas murdered 3 Brits and 11 Americans along with another 1300. We can't punish everyone who participated, but the leaders of such a massacre ought not escape. What now? I can't imagine anything good happening soon.

@Bernard Yes, I guess they would be. I doubt that Comey is actually going to apply. I think he's just pointing out the unintended consequences and needling Trump about the lawfare he is exercising against Comey Cohen falls in the camp with the rioters, at least theoretically. Lawfare by the Biden administration against him. And I'm guessing he's more desperate for money, which I doubt Comey is. I've never thought of him as someone acting on principle. I would be totally surprised if Powell applied for compensation. as a matter of fact, I doubt he would ever even make any comments about the compensation fund, and certainly not while he's still a Fed governor.

I beg to differ. The law per se legitimately regulates contracts. If you start with the assumption one party is following the law in a contract and the other party isn't you're really not describing justice. I don't care that a 3 day eviction notice happens to be convenient for landlords. You could make the notice 0 days in theory.
