One thing we talked about with the Lads is I'm surprised there's no "Outback Drillers" show in Australia, like ice road truckers or deadly catch. Aussies would LOVE IT. But drilling is actually FUCKING DANGEROUS and no mining client would sign off on it. It would have to be private land operation.

It was very subversive. Everyone was paranoid the government was listening on you after Watergate. It made the CB the rebels tool, drug runners and other contraband, people going off grid, truckers, hippies, ect. Smokey and the Bandit was a great example of that.
Even mainstream, like BJ & the bear

Meanwhile, on the health file, the 🇨🇦Conservatives have Pierre Polievre as the leader who hates expertise, incited the anti-vaxx KuKluxKonvoy truckers and promises to ban all vaccine mandates so your kids can get polio, whooping cough, measles, mumps, COVID etc etc.

The Dekotora Densetsu games look so fucking cool, I still need to actually play one of them someday.

Fitting cuz just recently I was reminded of how Big Mutha Truckers' JP version was released as a spinoff of those (complete with enka station)

Similarly, a mention of DYNAMITE ENKA from the JP version of Big Mutha Truckers, and its announcer/host CONVOY YAMAGUCHI (sadly the credits don't say who it actually is)

Holy fuck, I've seen better passes from drunken, one eyed truckers on the 401

New Listen: Booker T. - Potato Hole (8/10)

booker t with the drive-by truckers and neil young sounds like a match made in my own personal heaven, and it's great! characteristically incredible bluesy guitar jams from everyone involved elevated by booker's legendary organ. can't wait to revisit.

Agreed. I first heard of them when they were opening for MJ Lenderman several years ago. I was impressed that they, like Wednesday had covered Drive-By Truckers (Cooley songs at that) even if I wasn’t especially taken with the cover. It was The Holey Bible that hooked me.

Here's my quite short list. Pretty 90s. I will try to add a few things I see the rest of you mention that I was a bit less enthusiastic on.

I think I saw it on KTVQ 2 news the other day and the folks there seemed pretty upset about his arrest. He even turned himself in, so it appears to me (as an outsider) that he wasn't hiding.
He kept a lot of those truckers employed.
Wishing for him and his family the best outcome ❤️

No doubt. It’s still used as a performance enhancer. Found a lit review/analysis about stimulant use among truckers (TLDR about 1 in 5 using amphetamines, but also cocaine, bennies, opioids, OTC stimulants, weed, etc). Be careful on those roads. pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC...
Psychoactive drug consumption among truck-drivers: a systematic review of the literature with meta-analysis and meta-regression
Few studies have assessed the extent of psychoactive drug consumption in the occupational setting. The trucking sector, in particular, is an important cause for concern, since psychoactive substance use has a relevant impact on the drivers’ health ...

So long as the Conservatives keep this dud, I think Canada is safe. Well done Reform, err I mean Conservative party.

FWIW . . .

A prolonged strike would crush many, many small businesses and put their employees out of work.

This means our neighborhood shops, restaurants, boutique businesses, plumbers, truckers . . .

Targeted boycotts would do less damage to our side while focusing on mega-bad guys.
A prolonged targeted economic strike would really fuck up Trump’s billionaire bribers. What does the Bluesky community think about this?
A one-day slowdown is irritating. A one-month slump is terrifying.

With support for abolishing ICE growing and a bipartisan backlash prompting Trump to at least feign a more conciliatory approach in Minnesota, this is the moment to exert pressure. bit.ly/4aoo0an

Today I’ve learned that truckers are ordering Walmart deliveries and they’re the ones cleaning out the energy drinks at my store.

Flashbacks to this Hitlerite I used to be friend with who thought he was an expert on Canada because his ex lived in Manitoba who got deeply enraged at me for suggesting most Canadians in fact do not support “the truckers” and “the left” is not in the fact sick of Trudeau
