    This is a live performance, so warts and all, but if you like this type of music… This song strikes a special chord for me. It randomly came on the radio when I was driving with my brothers about 15 years ago, and we were jamming to it in the car, never hearing it before, but it is so incredibly infectious….cant help but move your leg to the beat.

    “The free speech is at its freest when it’s hate speech against the Jews”. I sorta get the point. Now do Islam, blacks, etc.

    @Mik said in The Rise of the Never Bidens: Cabinet level people ARE close. Sam Brinton was "deputy assistant secretary of Spent Fuel and Waste Disposition in the Office of Nuclear Energy," many levels removed from Biden along the chain of command; I don't think this counts as "close" to Biden. Rachel Levine is the United States "assistant secretary for health" since and an admiral in the United States Public Health Service Commissioned Corps, one level removed from Biden after the "secretary of health and human services." Even if I grant you that this counts as "close" to Biden, you still have to show that Levine is somehow "bad company."

    @Axtremus said in MIT ends compulsory political statements: @Jolly said in MIT ends compulsory political statements: Never underestimate a group of pissed men with guns. The yielding of power, even violent force, is a function of technology. A 105 lb. woman with a pistol (a more advanced technology) can kill a 250 lb. man swinging a big axe (a more rudimentary technology). If the girls/women control the technology, they too will control the power, the violent force. Yeah. Sure. How many Mexican cartels are controlled by women? Is the Russian mafia staffed and controlled by women? They've got access to the same weapons and technology as the guys.

    @Doctor-Phibes said in The King's Portrait: pass it on to one of his children. Or maybe his wife.

    The U.S. Supreme Court on Monday denied an appeal from California corrections officials who sought immunity from lawsuits claiming they acted with deliberate indifference when they caused a deadly COVID-19 outbreak California Corrections knowingly sent COVID + prisoners into a prison that was COVID free, causing multiple deaths.

    Maybe he should also put them into police drug squads, too, for similar reasons.

    Which plane caused the event? It’s hard to tell from the angle…I think maybe the far left plane as it looks like its wing hits the tail of the plane below it and also the nose hits the tail of the plane in front of it?

    Quite an interesting article. I have hear of her before, and the thing I read about her before was saying that she probably was innocent, but I dont remember the details.

    @George-K said in Air China: "Be careful in London": @Doctor-Phibes said in Air China: "Be careful in London": Comparing London to Chicago, Detroit and St. Louis is a bit much. London has a homicide rate of about 1.27 per 100,000. Chicago is 29.66, Detroit is 41, St. Louis is 87. Yeah, that's sort of my point. I wonder if China Air made similar warnings about these cities. Not so much any more, but there was (and maybe still a bit) of ignorance about western culture and locations in Asian countries. A lot of it is not intentional, but just because of lack of exposure. I think it is becoming better just because it is easier to get information today on other places. TV and movies were big ways people learned about the US. Growing up, the best selling toothpaste in Taiwan was a brand called "Darkie" and it had a drawing of a black person on it with smiling white teeth. I had no idea it was rascist. It was just a brand. Just ignorant. It is not unusual for Chinese tourists to be pretty culturally insensitive.

    If MIT can make DEI go away, the political parties should be able to make Biden and Trump go away.
