Blumenthal: "What world is he living in? It is not only contrary to the facts and the truth but utterly despicable. A disgusting betrayal of a country that has bled and fought and died for freedom ... the president's surrender is pathetic and weak."

My absolute pleasure - thank you!
Anyone remember this song? Definitely Old School.

I was honoured to see you followed me - I have admired your work greatly for a long time. Thank you!
RUSSIAN CRISIS
π₯π₯π₯ For the month, all sectors of Russiaβs stock market are in the red:
Gazprom -16.7%
Retailer Ozon -23.7%
Search engine Yandex -12.3%
Largest construction company Samolet -37.91%
Shipping company Sovcomflot -19.7%
π₯ Russiaβs economy is melting down.
I think 5% is being generous :)
The most disturbing part of this weird time is the fact that a whole swathe of society embraces mendacity and immorality.
It's a stance that defies reason and beligerently clings to ignorance.
Bluesky seems like the right kind of approach: embrace decency and shun the deplorables.
I'm an English teacher. Can't help myself. Thank you!
Hope the CAD kicks into high gear before inauguration day.
Biden will become the first President in American history to register job growth in every single month during his Presidency.
I do agree. He does need resisting. But heβs such a pathological attention-seeking narcissist that I find it satisfying to deny him attention. Just like youβd deal with a toddler throwing endless tantrums. Your point is well made though.
If there was an app that filtered out all images of Trump and his aderol-addled voice from showing up on my computer I'd install that thing in a second.
That deranged, corrupt old turd doesn't deserve a micro-second of our attention.
His apologists can fuck off too.
Agreed. At least on Bluesky we're creating a slightly more sane corner of reality I guess.
That's wonderful thanks - googling them now!
I thought you were sharing your life story :)
I can't seem to follow your link, btw.
Such a great concept, opposite of dumbing-down. I loved the two main presenters. Can't remember if they were teachers or CSIRO scientists, or both. I love you can see they've built everything themselves out of coathangers and bits of stationary, and still blew our minds every time with science.
Fact: This is indisputably the most mind-bending video on the internet. Fair chance you've seen this already, but if not: you're welcome. I grew up watching this show. I hope your day will be better for having seen this. Prepare to be astonished. youtu.be/DkVOIJAaWO0?...

Very cool!
Cab Calloway seems to be at the height of his powers as well. I first encountered him in the Blues Brothers movie :)
That's really interesting, thanks. I assumed it was multiple takes - they hardly seem out of breath at the end!
Incredible skill and athleticism to be able to pull that off in one take.
My absolute pleasure. Glad you liked it :)
That's wild. Nice SG too.
This guy, Toby Lee, is almost 20 now I think, but he's been guesting with absolute blues legends since he was 10. He has a seemingly endless pool of tasteful improv. Really worth searching him up on YouTube.

I watched a version of Jake playing that today - incredible!
