@tlariv @PeterLG @freediverx @blogdiva I'm thinking Schumer's gonna (quietly) vote for Cuomo rather than his party's nominee. Just saw Cuomo on TV say "MaNdami" four times in less than a minute. I lived in NYC in the 80s & keep recalling the whispering campaign - "Vote for Cuomo not the Homo", thinking like father like son. Meanwhile, David Hogg got drummed out of DNC for supporting a particular Democratic candidate in a Democratic primary.

@HamonWry Mastodon has polls?

@jalefkowit I inherited an old Jeep from my late father. I used to say it kept his memory alive by giving me a lot of trouble

@BramMeehan I got lazy and did not call them. Since then, however, I have noticed twice the station was broadcasting only a hum sound on Sundays. Maybe they don't have an engineer available to work on Sundays? I suppose I should call; keep getting distracted by so many other things...

@megatronicthronbanks @AE4WX Not obvious to me, either. They're foregoing a whole day, at least, of advertising revenue. Even though the song title is "If You Ever Have Forever in Mind", it's going to have to stop some time.

@AE4WX I don't think so. Rural company owns a dozen or so small stations, various formats. There isn't another country station in the area, so I doubt it. I think I'll call them tomorrow.

Anybody out there knowledgeable about #radio #tech ? We have a local station, 99.9 fm KKTC True Country, Angel Fire, NM. They've been playing the same song, over & over, at least since 6am MDT, 10 hours ago. No ads, even. We've been wondering how that happens? Anybody know? #broadcast #localradio

@Nonilex Trump has already meddled with water distribution in California. Colorado water goes to 7 states, some red some blue. Rio Grande, 2 blue plus Texas. Whiskey’s for drinking & water’s for fighting. Easy to find things to worry about these days.

@kunev @w7voa I have a friend who was born at Manzanar. For one example.

@TheDialecticalCommunist There’s a large and growing disaster response industry sector running in part on government contracts. I Also grifting and predatory in too many cases.

@realTuckFrumper C-SPAN has split screen as I write. Andrew Young @ funeral & House voting to sanction the International Criminal Court. Some Dems are voting for sanction, likely over indicting Bibi. 7 so far but voting only just started. Presumably, a fair # of Dems will miss the vote due to being at the funeral.

@realTuckFrumper According to IMDB Ratner's last directing gig was 2015, and only 1 producer cred after 2017's rape & harassment accusations, which seem to have taken a bite out of his career. Thoughts & prayers.

I suppose Bezos is putting up the money. Ass kisser.

Also from Daily Kos. #uspol #uspolitics #TrumpIsUnfitForOffice

@realTuckFrumper Not sure why Newsweek thinks Post Malone & Shaboozey are "country icons" - kind of drains meaning from the word "icon."

Latest comic. A British consumer rights group examined unnecessary data harvesting by “smart” devices, including air fryers connected to phone apps. While these devices may not pose the greatest privacy risk in our everyday lives, they are part of a growing Internet of Things capable of collecting data when and where we least expect it.

@realTuckFrumper Kyle Rittenhouse must be feeling left out about now.

@ayoub Some things I read about initial response to Helene in NC mountains had some similar elements.

@happykhan When I was little we all lined up in the school lunchroom for our polio shots. I liked it better when they got it so they put a drop on a sugar cube to eat. Everybody knew what polio was, and nobody objected to the vaccines. I suppose those elders who had it long ago will need to make public testimonials, like the women with problem pregnancies with near death experiences & loved ones of those who died.

@mattsheffield @chrislehmann Back in 2016 Presidential, I was saying I'd like to see candidates not yet eligible for MediCare. Nobody much cares what I think, of course, but I think I was right, even then.
