I was trying to listen to depressing Country and Americana. Youtube told me to listen to some South Coast and I couldn't resist. I'm obligated as a North Texans to hate Houston, but the music is top notch.

The estate of Woody Guthrie selecting Billy Bragg and Wilco to get handed his songwriting notes that never got recorded was brilliant. Billy Bragg including Natalie Merchant on this one was musical gold.

A few photos I managed to get today. You set this lever according to the guide to determine how many pounds per acre of seed you planted with this piece of equipment. I rode on the back of this thing as a kid and was tasked with yelling when the seed hopper was running out of oat seeds.

Posting a lot of family drama and deep nostalgia for the ranch I grew up running. On a lighter note, we spent the day figuring out what this plant on a fence was. Luffa gourds!

But I had a macro lens on my camera and the bees posed for me.

Went back to the family ranch today for a family get together. Grandparents are dead and we only meet because 2 aunts are blocking will probate. Took some pictures, but the one that resonates and had a darker meaning when I viewed them after coming home...

Didn't mean to blow up my notifications with a quote tweet of a slavery apologist when I was planning on posting about farmland tonight. 2 of my aunts are blocking the sale of my grandparents ranch as the will dictated, so we had Thanksgiving today. Took the backroad shortcut on the way home...

Gotta love self-titled historians. "Jefferson kept his slaves to protect them" is wild. Oh yeah, they were like his kids. He didn't exploit them. He didn't fuck the little girls he OWNED. It was for their protection against the system of chattel slavery!

Lost Cause on steroids.
Let's not rewrite history here (amateur historian here.)

Jefferson was not "obscenely" rich. He was wealthy yes, but John Hancock was the wealthiest Founder.

Jefferson kept his slaves to protect them. While married in the U.S, in Paris his slave Sally Hemmings was "the madam of the house."

As someone that was eternally grateful to have a fireplace and big generator during the Texas 2021 storm so my kids didn't freeze to death, this report is uncomfortable to read.

But it's not data centers that should worry you that you lose power in winter storms.

As someone that came out of gun show culture of the 1990s with all its "jackboot government thugs" conspiracy theories, and didn't come to my senses until after the Tea Party and Obama-era militia movement, this cannot be understated. Everything we worried about for 40 years is happening...
Conspiracy theorists have never been more validated than in the last few months, but none of them are around to celebrate it because they all just became Trump partisans.

Read the comment this replies too. Tesla sent a model they've been making for 10 years to a car magazine to test, and the lug nuts came loose. The tech to perfectly tighten those critical nuts has been known since Ford's MODEL A in the 1920s. OVER 100 YEARS. Tesla is 100 years behind on mechanics.
Auto factory worker here...

LOOSE LUG NUTS AT 500 MILES ON THE ODOMETER?

EVERY major company uses very expensive "torque control" tools with fancy electric motors controlled by computers to tighten lugnuts so they DON'T come loose. OMFG.

Currently stranded in a clinical situation and I could get called to a birth any time between now and tomorrow morning.

A $150 quick goal on my ko-fi would resolve this. If you can please help.
My in-bio site is functional in a static business card kind of way. I know newsletters are what all the cool authors have, the way my neurology is set up newsletters are hell. But Ko-fi is a great place to catch up with me, and if we're accustomed to interacting my DMs can get you my Signal.

You can move a carrier group somewhere and it just be a show of force or a threat of force. But the FAA telling ATC and pilots in a big chuck of the Caribbean to use extreme caution for the next few months? These lunatics are about to start a war.
The U.S. Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) has just issued a new temporary flight advisory for the San Juan Flight Information Region (TJZS), which encompasses all of Puerto Rico and a large section of the Southern Caribbean. The advisory states that, “OPERATORS ARE ADVISED TO EXERCISE EXTREME 🧵

Why do I pay for multiple streaming services when every movie I want to watch, even one made 85 years ago is only available to rent or buy?

I don't want to go back to torrents and giving my computer AIDS all the time, but this is getting dumb.
I’m almost finished rereading The Grapes of Wrath and I’m feeling as militant now as I did when I first read it as a teenager.

Bodegas are cool and all, but ever hit up the local truck stop out in the country for beer and ask to buy 2 potatoes and an onion from the short order deli they run and get then for $1.00?

Sunday roast is on without driving to town!!!

$780/2000 ❤️❤️❤️ gonna keep this going until the end of the month!
Being innocent is expensive as hell. We need to raise about $2000 to order court transcripts for my upcoming trial and are giving away some stuff to help meet that need. Please share!

Sorry officer! I was having a late night drunken meeting to strategize how to handle the PR of being caught in the Epstein files. The taxi was late and I had to go! Surely this isn't indecent exposure as I whip my willy out in public!
This man is a member of a Party that wants to ban trans people from toilets.

This newspaper wants to do the same…
Damn, it really is hard to miss it when someone has been cast out of the Circle of Trust, isn’t it

MTG sees earlier than most that MAGA won't survive. She's ahead of the curve in the GOP and positioning to survive that ship sinking. And she's making smart moves. But I don't think it's still a MAGAfied GOP she sees. She's firmly in the Fuentes style America First vision.
She wants to run for president. In her mind, she’s not exploding her own career, she’s setting it up for a post-trump but still Trumpist / MAGAfied gop
*Marjorie Taylor Greene* being so sincerely anti-child sex abuse that she's willing to douse both her own political career and the president's in gasoline before tackling him into an open fire was actually not one I saw coming at all ngl

#Photography #Film

I haven't shot film since I stashed my enlarger in my parents shed in 2002, so I'm way out of touch. A friend was given a mechanical Yashica camera and wants to learn to use it. Anyone know where to buy film and who still processes B/W or color 35mm?

As a "gun guy" for most of my life and understanding the industry, the lobbyists, and intimate familiarity with Gun Culture™ in the US, this quote is 100% accurate and a bit of a gut punch once I thought about it through the insider lens I see that most don't have. Might be a long thread on this...
"In retrospect, Sandy Hook marked the end of the U.S. gun control debate,” British columnist Dan Hodges wrote in 2015. “Once America decided killing children was bearable, it was over.”

Hank The Cowdog has decided that he wants to be the "clever girl" from Jurassic Park and constantly push through or shove over the backyard fence to escape so I have to keep the dog door closed. What do clever fence testers get when I get tired of it?
