Lafayette LRC-60T stereo with turntable.
My first real stereo was a Lafayette handed down from my uncle in the late 70s. I'd almost forgotten the brand! It was brushed steel in the front with wooden side panels. It had a mechanical VU meter.
Oh, I found the exact same one online ... but only one pic!
I doubt that's coincidence. They want us to have less connectivity, access to information, and awareness of what tech is capable of.
That's why they went after media, social media, and I'd even say air traffic controllers. To keep us from connecting to others. Isolated, we're easier to control.
The most recent President to gain my full support. Biden was good, but he wasn't inspiring. We need youth and intelligence (and yes, in presidential terms 50-ish counts as youth). Obama had both, Biden had one, and Trump has neither.
I don't like daylight savings time. THERE. I said it.
Mine was a bit smaller and TEAC brand.
This current regime is doing just fine running Doom(sday) with just a few brain cells.
It was the worst of times.
It was the "oh my God, when I wrote that I didn't think it could get any worse" of times.
I'll censor my immediate response to this:
<Expletive> this dumb <expletive> mother <expletive>!
Comer thinks borderline yelling in a condescending tone will bully Walz into admitting he was wrong when Comer knows he wasn't.

Screen shot of my WLIR Faves playlist with "Broken English" by Marianne Faithful shown added on Jan 17, 2026.
The timing on this is funny. That song got stuck in my head a few weeks ago after not hearing it for little decades, and I finally added it to my "WLIR Faves" playlist.
If you want to listen to the playlist, here it is:

Morning after blues
From my head down to my shoes
I'm utterly perplexed at lima bean hate. They're one of my absolute favorite veggies! I think it's because Americans say lie-muh instead of lee-muh. I could see it being hard to accept a veggie with a 4-letter name that we can't even pronounce right. It's probably shame.
I just watched the film "Companion". It does not bode well for anyone trying to control you.
An a-rest-ing melody.
Americans watched as federal agents killed two Minnesotans.
Now their families have to watch Kristi Noem continue to lie about it.

And if it works, they'll kill him because he's woke, not white enough for their taste, and from another nation.
It looks genuinely surreal. It's a gorgeous shot!
I apologize if any of this sounds like virtue signaling. I just feel that if men won't listen to women, and men seeking enlightenment (believe me, I know I've not achieved it!) do not speak, then how does the message get across?
If all you do is experience that little zap from "hey, that's my demographic", you're letting your ego drive you. I'll take it a step further: I don't believe in God, so men DID create the Bible and use it as a tool of oppression. Saying it came from an infallible deity was top tier gaslighting.

As a 59-year-old man, I will admit, I get a little sting from these videos. Remnants from a time I didn't know better. I think other men need to acknowledge that knee-jerk defensive tendency. I think it's natural. But then they need to put it aside and look at this logically. It is ALL true.

MTG is still a perp and enabler
She literally caused this
She’s no leader, no hero, not a voice worth listening to then or now
Others will read the same script soon, claim they were duped, and they won’t be either
Still think that person in the J5 pipe "device" videos looks and moves exactly like her. The physical shape, the gate of her walk, and swing of her arms all resemble that shown in routine videos of MTG.
Ok, hear me out ... a Sith themed boy band called:
"The Palpa-Teens"
Clearly the time has come.
Heard they're taking senior pics today
(oh Lord, I'm on par with John Oliver 😂)
Yeah. You should probably have at least a modicum of honor first.
McConnell could have fixed this, but he chose to make it worse instead.
I hate the voters more than their cult leader. One man like Trump can only do so much damage (and we know he has), but to do as much as he's done, millions had to hand him this power.
With a moral voter body, he'd have been shut down and likely locked up for the crimes revealed during his campaign.
