Roadmaster, Vintage Vinyl Addict

Alex Pretti's mother speaks for me. She should be speaking for every American - heck, for EVERY PERSON ON THE PLANET. May the Pretti family - and the Good family and all the other families of those murdered by ICE - to see overdue justice get done. SOON.

I fully agree with the message, the anger, and the resolve of this post. A special needs kid? SEETHE. ICE needs to not just be dissolved - every action of every one of these steroid addicts needs to be reviewed - and if ANY civil rights violations are raised, CHARGE AND PROSECUTE. NO PLEA DEALS.

This pastor speaks for me. Stop ICE now. Prosecute and convict the guilty.

If there's one word - one act - that I would like to see return to our society, it is this: Mercy. Mercy for the poor. For the addicted. For the elderly. For the infirm. For those with sudden family issues. With sudden loss. Both governments and individuals need to show mercy. Let's get started.

I haven't made a FB post in months. I never signed up with Instagram. Or X/Twitter. Glad to still have Yahoo e-mail and BlueSky for staying aware. "NO KINGS" also means NO OLIGARCHY. VIGILANCE AND DETERMINATION, EVERYONE.

Oh, how I want to see the whole performance. Exquisite turnarounds by Lonnie Johnson. Great Spivey vocals. And Aleck Miller does OK, too :)

There must be severe and wide-sweeping legal repercussions once Democrats return to power. SERIOUS TIME BEHIND BARS. No "bygones." No "look forward, not backward." LAWS NEED TO APPLY TO EVERYONE.

As disgustingly twisted the planned public execution of Nidal Hasan is shaping up, I'm surprised Hegseth hasn't gone beyond firing squad to opt for a giant magnifying glass held up to sunlight - just like he most assuredly did with ants back in grade school.

COMPLETELY non-political question here: Has anyone else noticed aluminum beverage cans are getting weaker? Twice in the last month, I've had cans spring pinhole leaks from just a little bit of banging around. Not from the top - from the sides. Hive mind, am I losing it? Or are can manufacturers?

So I was digging through unheard 45s this weekend from my stacks. And, as you can imagine...This one made me take notice from the first few seconds. Enjoy this uncommon B-side cut from 1963 by the Radiants. www.youtube.com/watch?v=efSP...

Hmmm. Altman said WE (not him!!) "should accept some bad things happening for the benefits of this technology..." What bad things is HE willing to accept as one of the few people positioned to amass the majority of said benefits? Independent regulation? Nationalization? A kill switch? Tell us!

This 16-minute piece is one of the most remarkable things I've seen lately - showcasing the culture, artistic talent, and perseverence of a craftsperson in the twilight of his years. Alfie Jacques, master of building wooden lacrosse sticks. You need to watch this. www.facebook.com/watch/?v=108...

Go forth and multiply, little turtles!

The GOP has instilled venomous hatred for "the other," following playbooks of other totalitarian regimes to the letter. The kindly people who in a split second will turn on you, ready to kill you for questioning the sacred status of their leader. These cutltists need to be marginalized - or we die.

Yeah...Ummm... "Existential risks [PLURAL!!!] to humanity" And here most of us freak out over medicines that may cause explosive diarrhea. Seems that AI, SI, or AYY YIII YIII is NOT what we need a this point in civilization.

I hereby submit that I will gladly be party to any class action lawsuit against this administration, or individuals therein, should I be eligible to qualify as a member of said class.

The new photo of Don and Mel - the one where their dark angry souls are on full display - I knew I'd seen that look in the eyes before. A look directed at someone who was very unwelcome and within seconds of physical violence. Then I remembered this nearly 50-year-old photo. Buddy Guy, center.

I'm sharing this in the hope that some architect, municipal zoning person, or just a business owner with a public toilet will see this and think, "hey, I can get a sign like this made and make the world easier and less embarassing for someone." This SO. MAKES. SENSE.

ICEtapo is getting more violent and reckless as they are ordered to bring in more brown people. This sick brigade of mercenaries needs to be disbanded and members charged for everything from civil rights violations to accessories to murder. No amnesty. No "bygones." Prosecute, convict, sentence.

I just wrote to my Republican senator and basically said that their party does not want to witness the backlash of defying BOTH a COURT ORDER AND THE WILL OF THE PEOPLE. If you can write to your Congresscritter - ESPECIALLY THE GOP ONES - share YOUR MIND AND HEART. While we still can.

To even CONTEMPLATE that the current US regime has at least one person (or SEVERAL PEOPLE) who look to Josef Mengele to guide their research --- Again, I'm out of expletives. We need prosecutions, convictions, and lifetime sentences to remove these monsters from the rest of humanity.

Stating the obvious (again) - but PEOPLE IN ICE AND DHS NEED TO BE CHARGED, CONVICTED, AND IMPRISONED FOR LONG SENTENCES AS PUNISHMENT FOR ABETTING THESE ATROCITIES.

Folks - especially those in the US Midwest - keep your eyes on this project. It's been restarted after an unexplained shut-down order...Even as juvenile carp were detected just a few miles away. It's essential to keep carp out of the Great Lakes ecosystem. greatlakes.org/2026/09/work...

I am looking for the day when a Congressional Truth Commission gets some white hat code jockeys to do some database matching of phone records, hotel records, paychecks, and other documents to identify all the ICE agents involved in every murder coverup - and then charge them as accessories to crime.

Eugenics and snuff films. The moral depravity of this regime has few equals over the past century.

This should disturb ALL AMERICANS. Whenever government targets groups of its citizens, it can go after EVERY CITIZEN FOR ANY REASON IT CREATES. And we've seen that over and over with this regime. They're not quitting. They're becoming mre vicious.

I've never been to Maine. Right now, I'm sure glad I don't live there.

So it's 9:30 pm Eastern and that man is going on at / just after 11 pm Eastern to deliver his speech. Given the recent content of his late-night rants on the Internets, I think this could be one for the ages. And the butterfly nets.

This is one of those things that has me totally floored. And happy for my friend of 35 years, who now has landed a very interesting gig. ultimateclassicrock.com/bob-dylan-gu...

Sharing because we must never lose sight - or sound - of the beauty that humans can create...Even as we acknowledge the destruction that (some) humans are gleefully causing. Thank you for posting, Global Museum.

Maybe it's always been this way - and maybe these times have made me more attentive to this - But does it feel like more and more "regular people" are celebrating being selfish? Things line "I have a landmark old building but I'm gonna tear it down because FU" (and similar things with properties).

I just had the most upsetting thought... Bari Weiss could be ready to bring Lara Logan back to 60 Minutes as the "Lead Correspondent."

Serious question: what kind of monsters do they have in Missouri to find themselves hating reading, children, AND DOLLY PARTON?!?!

Stephen Colbert will not be denied his video pantheon. He has returned to Monroe, Michigan after 11 years to guest host the local community access talk show. You really need to watch this. www.youtube.com/channel/UCGt...

So, follow me on this... The a-hole J6ers who get their bribe money? ALL OF US should harass the fq out of them. Dare them to take us on and throw a punch. They swing fists? We sue them for every cent they have. Clean 'em out and send 'em back to poverty.

Goal for the next 24 hours: get at least a few varieties of those seeds I purchased into soil and get them started. I'll check back and let you know if I lived up to my aspirations.

Mr. Occam, what do you think happened? "I wasn't there, but you have an FBI that fired many domestic monitors, an administration that lavishes itself in opulence while condemning others to poverty, and a regime that tries to unite religion with killing. Surprising there weren't more shooters."
