@mark You might enjoy this song. I listen to it again and again. Madonna's confessions on a Dance Floor is generally considered to be the best album in Madonna's discography. Let It WIll Be is one the best songs on the album imho. It didn't get a video. I think that's too bad. It should have is the consensus. https://music. Link to video The best song on the album (and the best video) is Hung Up imho. Madonna bought the IP from ABBA for it. She "made it her own" as they say on talent shows. Lol. Link to video Hung Up has a "B-side". Sorry- Link to video Some videos apparently cost such a large amount of money that they produce a 2nd song and video using the same cast and film and set. I've noticed this pattern with her work. Other artiste do the same thing. Her most recent album- Confessions II is her 15th studio album. I'd like to listen to it but it's low on my low priority list. Nothing compares to Madame X, her 14th studio album along with her 1st- 13th studio albums imho. Well, that's life. Nobody can stay at the top of their game forever. I think she's doing fine. I totally disagree with people who say she's too old and should retire. These are the same people who never understood her career, who never stopped hating her for being being a woman who expresses her sexuality in public, who aren't comfortable with sex as a theme in art (I'm rolling my eyes), and who aren't comfortable with the fact that women age. Basta! Enjoy!

Oh man, the AP story is even worse. Ramaswamy, swimming with the scum. High-profile Republicans who back Ramaswamy — including Donald Trump Jr. and influencer Laura Loomer — elevated the video in online posts. https://apnews.com/article/election-2026-ohio-governor-acton-mother-ramaswamy-dc59bd5f0c47f9e06f37022e2ba2cce5

@steve-miller Great minds think alike. See: https://wtf.coffee-room.com/topic/4177/chicago-toy-town

Putin and his GOP and AfD bitches want peace in Ukraine like Ben Gvir and Smotrich want peace in Gaza. They really do want peace, but on terms that would be devastating to the locals.

@Mark said: @Daniel These look amazing. I bet they sound great. https://tmraudio.com/products/cary-audio-design-cad-211fe-monoblock-tube-power-amplifiers 10k off 20k retail?! Wow. I might have paid $1,200 for mine.

Link to video This is so stupid. Assertion- They survived the plane crash. Argumentum ad nauseam Maybe these random pieces of shoe leather and whatever else have nothing to do with the crash. Maybe (and there is no evidence of it) they are part of the debris field. Argumentum ad nauseam everywhere you look. Then you get to their imagined survival. This is a mystery. I'd like to know the answer- assuming for the sake of argument they survived the crash- How many days or even hours did they survive on a remote atoll, exposed to the elements, with no food, and no drinking water? Yes, they were heros. Yes, they should be honored. Stop making money off the tragedy, and let them RIP.

just yesterday I signed up for a voucher program that our local transportation agency offers to seniors/geezers. if you are over 65 you can get a $60 monthly credit for any Uber rides starting and ending in our city. OK, not totally life-changing money, but it makes my monthly round-trip to the airport free and that’s kind of fun.

Yeah, good on Leslie Stahl. And Bari Weiss? Urgh.

Yes, they were aristocrats, weren't they?

Thank you all for your concern! I’ll get the knee taken care of as soon as I can.
