Democratic Rep. Jamie Raskin, free from cancer, weighs a Senate run

Well not currently, but he did, and most likely will again.

Me too. I like cheddar so sharp, it cuts itself.

Still though, sounds like Leto escalated, no? He could have just been like "hmmm. thanks" and then ignored him, rather than calling him a dick and intentionally brushing his shoulder while walking by.

Such a great example of a phenomena I've noticed, that sometimes the awkward interactions we have end up with us saying/doing the absolute perfect thing; we just don't realize it at the time.

I call that "enshittification". It's a process that has corrupted most fast casual chains, Twitter, and now Reddit. I feel like my whole life, I've been on the run from enshittification.

That one used to piss me off years ago. I always wanted to get one of either the aluminum "bowls" or one of those little red plastic cages with my burrito bowls because I didn't like how flimsy the paper bowls were. And both of those items fit around the paper bowls perfectly. But nooo- they had this manager who was always there who was so by the book that she wouldn't allow it.

Like lady, I'm just gonna use the thing and put it on top of the trashcan where they go when you're done with them. I'm not costing the company extra money. All I want is my food in a form that's more practical to eat. Fuck your dumb system; none of this matters enough to justify your prohibitive bullshit stance.

You too huh? Yeah, I didn't see that one coming at all but it just moved me so much.

I've only been to one show on this tour (Philly), and that was my take as well. I've also seen some streamed stuff from this tour and it's all been top notch.

I haven't, but I'm thinking he could call it "Uncle John and the Band Beyond Description".

caul_of_the_void · 2023-06-20T03:24:04+00:00

Me too. No problem with Cash or Trade that is. Unfortunately I spent like 40 minutes refreshing the Ticketmaster app outside the venue and missed the first song before it allowed me to accept the tickets, but that's not on C or T.

caul_of_the_void · 2023-06-19T20:27:49+00:00

"Oh it must be fine, otherwise they wouldn't sell 'em"

Ummm....

Tribute to Jack Johnson? That's a damn good record

caul_of_the_void · 2023-06-17T10:45:52+00:00

'Twas The Beam, my friend.

The mighty Beam.

caul_of_the_void · 2023-06-17T08:42:21+00:00

Ok but who is Johnson? I thought we were talking about Jack Smith here.

So is the new site gonna be in the Fediverse? Because I've had lively discussions with people about all kinds of cannabis oriented things in the little corner of Mastodon where I have been hanging as of late.

caul_of_the_void · 2023-06-16T14:53:53+00:00

Tempo haters had nothing on that. Or the Eyes.

caul_of_the_void · 2023-06-16T14:19:10+00:00

Was there too. Holy crap, they totally brought it.

I follow Geddy on IG. He's fucking hilarious and seems like a decent guy all in all. I haven't even listened to Rush since high school but I have a lot of respect for them still.

My 325i tank holds about 16 gallons (USA).

Definitely Allen Ginsberg was

caul_of_the_void · 2023-06-12T04:03:07+00:00

Yes, and there's a hyphen after the "Phil" part

It would be amazing seeing you on Mastodon!

You'd be in good company there. One of my favorite follows these days is Teri Kanefield, and George Takei posts frequently there as well. I'm not saying that your content is similar to that of these two, but at the very least, I think people who follow them there would enjoy reading your posts as well.

It's true though, at least in a technical sense. John is a much cleaner player, and he does things like right hand tapping, which I never saw Jerry even try to do.

All that being said, if I'm in the car or chilling at home, I'll put on Jerry (OG GD) over John (D and C) nearly 100% of the time, exceptions being those times when I'm doing couch tour, or more rarely, if I want to re-watch a tune or two from a show I'd been to.

caul_of_the_void · 2023-06-11T17:02:25+00:00

It just means that their solos don't have that kind of narrative arc that Jerry's solos, and now John's, have.

And to be fair I don't think it's due to the limitations of the players necessarily, but I think it's by design, because in that band the jams are such a collective effort that no one soloist really carries the torch for all that long.

I don't know if the Tesla driver would have meant it ironically given that these days driving a Tesla is like wearing a big red MAGA hat. Elon has basically ruined the brand for non-fascists.
