I didn’t realize that @fcstpauli.com’s Daniel Sinani was a Luxembourg international, but he was one of the better, more dangerous looking players against Germany, today. #LUXGER #UEFAWorldCupQualifiers #Bundesliga

I am often reminded of this David Graeber quote:
“The ultimate, hidden truth of this world is that it is something that we make, and could just as easily make differently.”

I’ve never seen auroras this red! It’s more vivid on camera, but still really vibrant to the naked eye.

Wasn’t a bad way to end my day, to be honest.
Might I suggest an eight minute cover of “The Wreck of the Edmund Fitzgerald” to start your day? tinyurl.com/46uhjztz

The Replacements briefly covered "The Wreck of the Edmund Fitzgerald" on Oct 15, 1985, the first gig of a 5-night homestand at the 7th Street Entry, opening with a song off their new album "Tim"—"Lay It Down, Clown"—and this was next. Video image is the Entry + the Fitz

American politics makes a lot more sense when you realize that the GOP is afraid of pissing off the GOP base, and the Dems are afraid of pissing off the GOP base, but neither party is afraid of pissing off the Dem base.

The problem with the Democratic Party/leadership, as I see it: the party has sold out to corporations and wealthy elites and now (and really for 20-30 years) either identify primarily with those constituencies or are too afraid to do anything that might endanger funding from those constituencies.

On this eve of fifty Novembers
the winds still howl
the bell still tolls.
My breath turns heavy
as we drift into the long cold night.
The Fitzgerald stirs beneath.
I harbor their echoes
and cradle her steel.
My waves bear the sorrow
of all I have taken.
the winds still howl
the bell still tolls.
My breath turns heavy
as we drift into the long cold night.
The Fitzgerald stirs beneath.
I harbor their echoes
and cradle her steel.
My waves bear the sorrow
of all I have taken.

Might as well rename the Democratic Party the Spelunking Party at this point.
