If I were in charge of the diarrhea response, I'd protect the vulnerable from infection and let it rip through healthy people to build herd immunity to Cyclospora. Can I run the FDA now?

This is another one of those records where promos are as common as shelf copies. I think that means the label thought they had something, but public didnt agree. This is nice horn heavy dance soul. Kinda similar to Baby Huey w/less singing. Sonny Sharrock on most tracks.

But wait, I remember hearing that children didnt spread COVID? This was always my pushback on the let it rip crowd - that opening schools would have led to this type of spread at a time our systems couldnt handle it. I suppose I won't get my apology.

My irrationally angry hill to die on is people exploiting disability law to bring their fecking dogs into the grocery store. My daughter is wheelchair height and they get up in her face and it scares her. Monsters.

Two thoughts: - I dont wanna dunk on a dude for being sick, but this is a problem with branding yourself as a fake health expert - my news feed juxtaposed this with Joey Chestnut, hotdog champ. Who will live longer? Not a given, we dont control these things as much as we think.

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/David_Ho @stevengoldman.bsky.social here's a good "name a scientist" who invented something important

It was such a pleasant surprise to see that they were back on the road. I saw them right after Fe came out - one of the first Rough Trade US LPs.

Always hits different when you have a person with severe disability in your life that we care more about the pets

Where's all the modern classical heads at on bluesky? Ive been trying to find the Deutsche Grammaphon Avant Garde series albums, and want some tips on the heavy titles. Anyone?

Going deep on 1985 this cloudy morning. Man, the art dept must have really hated Nick Lowe.

www.dni.gov/index.php/ne... Wild accusations from people not acting in good faith. I can't wait for government by conspiracy theory to end.

My local HS has a mascot logo that looks like it was copied from the Trapper Keeper of a metal hesher circa 1985.

This is a really funky soul jazz record on a great label. Like the Grant Green LPs of the time, but a little more fuzz and rock beats. Should be a three figure LP, but it gets by for way less. Grab one.

Get tix, dont make me tell you twice.

This is going to create all sorts of burdens on primary care. I have probably 500 medicaid recipients on my panel. Every variety of employed, unemployed, and between. Now, I gotta be the arbiter of who gets to keep care and who doesn't? Based on what?

There was really a US brand called Heil in the post-war years? Seems kinda problematic

The cost of living in west seattle is bonkers, except for 1st press Sonics LPs.

jazzguitartoday.com/2026/05/guit... I missed that another jazz great passed this week. Ron was my teacher's teacher. A fine player, and a generous teacher.

A great day in Harlem. My people are the ones who can name at least ten.

There are people in my neighborhood so far down the rabbit hole of altnutrition that they buy jars of bacon fat from health food stores.

Holy hell, these guys are all making a face like they are **** or ****** or whatever. Except Billy, who looks cool.

Found this rarity today. Harris is from the Contortions, Quinn from the top tier of everything. Drums are all programmed, which works really well in context. Way more studio tricks than other Quine stuff I've heard.

Now do this with life coaches

Chick's playing was better with a head full of thetans.

This is a record I picked up on a trip for 10 pesos. I expected to be indifferent, but I like it. Like Fleetwood Mac, they approach the blues with a light touch to make it something new. Playing is just wrong enough to have a weird vibe throughout. The rest of their catalog is meh.

futurism.com/science-ener... Yesterday, I was trying to explain to a person how weird it is that a healthcare monopoly can deny treatment to all people on Medicaid, and my example was "imagine the power company denying service to whole neighborhoods." Took one day.

Thanks to Sam Charters et al for the Everyman series to introduce rubes and roughnecks like me to classical music. I'm a big fan of semi-insulting marketing

I dont remember who reminded me of him, but I'm going in on Paul Horn, the quintessential travel budget buster of 60s jazz

The number three cause of death is the FDA commissioner (This is a deep cut joke for the old heads)

In my state, to get approval through Medicaid for hepC drugs, you need about 10 labs, and paperwork sent via a direct to state process (vs the PA we do for other high$ meds). It can take months for approval and a few hours of our time.

This record is such a miracle. Everything about it screams PBS fundraiser - CTI label, Bob James, Gerry's haircut - but it is really beautiful. You can hear how ruined Chet's lips are, and he kinda warms into each tune.

Confirmed. Im seeing people using Zyn or similar based on podcasts that promote it for ADHD/increased productivity

Yessir.

My local record store just got a weird obsessive VU collection. 30ish copies of the banana album, multiple copies of dozens of boots. Third and fourth LPs dont seem to have hit the floor yet. A reminder that this band was beloved by a certain sort of weirdo.

m.youtube.com/watch?v=Gf_1... What if we copied U2, but with Jim Morrison on vox? Geffen made a big investment in this - you'll find the 12" and the LP in a bargain bin near you, esp in flyover country.

This is a budget label barrel scraper released right after Lee died. Probably outtakes from the Lighthouse live LP. Hotter than a match head. Still so sad how many greats left the stage in early 70s. Monk, Blakey, Ayler, Mobley, Mr PC. Some died, some just went away.

Your half baked insults like douchenozzle and orange turd and shitler etc etc never were funny, and they need to retire. Except buttsmoke and dickslap, which are useful.

The only thing that gives me any solace about this is that we are inevitably going to see RFK jr go the way of every other dunce who tries to suck up to the throne, and when he does, he will be back to third string Air America fill in host.

One of the few heavy psych LPs that lived up to the hype and beyond. Absolutely mighty.

Did anyone in seattle just see a ton of planes leaving from near Bremerton? Like 15-20?

Dietary calcium is simply not very important a predictor of bone integrity. May be important during development, but come adulthood, nope.

That little smiley face on the cover is a vibe killer.

A Fleetwood Mac LP in all but name and style. I think there is an u named subgenre of absolutely deranged albums from 69/70 that mock 50s styles and float into incoherent jams. Syd Barrett, Peter Green, Bruce Palmer, Mayo Thompson. What else am I missing?

Do I have any fans of solo Tom Verlaine in the network? Which ones are good? Ive got the first two, all the rest is a mystery to me. Thanks

It is amazing to me that major league baseball can't have a streaming app that works well on a web supported TV. Not only is their app not available on my TV, it won't work from the web browser. Bonkers

I put 5 jazz tunes on the lobby music at my clinic, and the PSRs skip them. Haters. Maiden Voyage was just getting good....

Seconded. Ive seen this band twice. Rare to see anyone having that level of fun on a stage

Fare thee well, old homestead. Thanks for the last decade.
