And! Your public library most likely offers access to the major newspapers. You can just login & check out the day's stories (or past ones) for free.

"Low Budget" by the #Kinks is a fabulous effort with the Davies brothers picking up some of the punk scene vibe of the late 70s! Features "Attitude" and "(Wish I Could Fly Like) Superman".

This gold record is my first, #Sunn O))) This is a really amazing doom metal band with extremely custom equipment. They just hit long riffs, but the gear they use is all custom tube equipment. I didn't much like this at first but it's almost a meditation thing I can lose myself easily in this music.

#NuclearBlast records has just terrible policies, they have a no question asked return policy, but if you order an item and then they discount it the next day you can't get the discount, they force you to return the item for the discount.

It is wild to me that the largest company on the stock market, one with such incredible prestige and a huge PR team got dog-walked here. Why would you EVER give this ANY oxygen? Now everybody is asking whether NVIDIA is like Enron! This didn't help at all!
Nvidia refuted accounting questions in a memo to analysts, saying "Unlike Enron, NVIDIA does not use Special Purpose Entities to hide debt and inflate revenue" (Tae Kim/Barron's Online)

Vinyl is 30 bucks a pop now? WTF did the black Friday sales just hide a huge price increase in vinyl overall?
I don't see any good deals, everything is literally more expensive than 3 months ago! And shipping is insane. I'm going to check a few local stores but I am not buying anything online.

It's a neurotype! Not a disease! Most of the diagnostic criteria are actually manifestations of PTSD as they commonly present in Autistic boys!

It makes the disability aspect of autism worse so much fucking worse. It’s sadistic to exclude people from the continual process of forming societal standards, and then expecting said people who are neurologically distinct to follow them “perfectly”.

#funk Taking a turn from what I normally listen to, I saw Bonny M. recently and was reminded that this band is actually legit. As long as you like funk anyway.
Famously the lead singer was lip syncing while being a total prima donna. classic music industry nonsense.

Someone on the Minneapolis subreddit caught Waymos being delivered. We need the City Council need to ban the use of driverless cars. The technology isn't there. Our city cannot be a testing ground for 1.5 ton autonomous projectiles.
