Bradbury just complained that people were gonna stop buying his books. He gripes in multiple books that people dont read anymore since that's how he made money.

The 90's were the best football seasons Cleveland ever had
Damn, here i thought my beetle had a button that would allow me to find out what my passenger was thinking
Maybe people decided that choosing between staying a broken course and going down a worse one wasn't worth it. Democrats can't keep offering people nothing and being surprised that people don't vote for them.
Sorta. They have one nostril on the back of their head, and the other is inside the skull so that they can make sounds.
A big fan of getting high af, putting on a kick ass album, and drinking a shower beer.
Under no circumstances should you puncture the container. It's still a pressure vessel with flammable gas in it and will explode if you try.
It's just another excuse to do layoffs without spooking investors
Does Lemmy have less personal stories than Reddit because users are more wary of doxxing themselves?
Liar. All Ohio zip codes start with 4
Because i lost my job last year and was living on $300 a week weeknight bartending. I can pay for rent and groceries or i can pay for my student loans and credit card debt.
I hope you never find yourself in a position where you jave to choose, because it's a living hell

Here is the inside before i spread the ganache over it
The recipe i used is available here. My favorite single mom in town asked me to make her a ho-ho cake for her birthday party tonight,and here is my final result! Where possible i have used vegan ingredients, although it does contain butter, buttermilk, and eggs. I live in a small rural town and finding vegan substitutes on a budget is very difficult. I made a test run for my friends this weekend and it fell apart in transit, but this time it survived the trip! The cream filling really needs a few hours in the fridge to stiffen up and not let the cake slide off.
A friend got a basket full of vinyls from a friend of a friend getting rid of her dad's old stuff. Nothing too cool in the basket, just some reprints and mid level albums from the 80's, but free music is free music! I'm fine with Southern Rock for the most part, amd Hatchet is certainly entertaining enough. It's something you would put on while working in the garage.
Gather ye bairns, a couple tabs, and a pour yeself a pint o Brown, time for some canny tunes from the Toon!
As you can tell, i am a Midwestern Millennial, but Lindisfarne is one if my favorite bands. My mom is a Geordie, born and raised on the Tyne so i have spent more time in NW England than a lot of Southern Brits. I think Lindisfarne perfectly captures the spirit of Northumbira. Alan Hull wrote about 200 songs while working as a night nurse at a mental hospital in Newcastle, which is where Lady Eleanor was written. Geordies and Mackems might be tough blokes, but they are also very well read and educated compared to their Southern peers, and the lyrics of Lady Eleanor were inspired by Edgar Alan Poe's Eleonora and The Fall of the House of Usher. What i really like about Lindisfarne is the accessibility of the music compared to their contemporaries like Fairport Convention, Steeleye Span, and Pentangle.
As for the vinyl, for reasons i haven't been able to find, the American versions, with Nicely Out of Tune taking a radically different design. It isn't a traditional sleeve, but a pocket with a carboard instert to protect the vinyl (forgive Boudica's intrusion, she just loves the record player).
Typically i just go to my discogs and select a random item from a my collection to keep my posts here a little varied. Today the algorithm gave me Graceland, and it seemed a perfect album to finish off 2024. Simon reminiscing about the past while looking ahead is perfect for today. The titualar song was about a road trip Simon took to Graceland with his son after his divorce to Carrie Fisher. It's a song about new beginnings and forgetting the troubles of your past, which is an approach i am happy to apply to the miserable year in which i came to understand what that girl in New York City means.
This is an original from 86 and is absolutely beautiful to listen to. The drum beats Simon would become famous for shine through as crisp as if they were in the room with you without smother the beautiful vocals and guitar work.
The top row came from my old neighbors in town, while the bottom row i pick up at Half Priced Books at my parents's place in Houston. Not big on Tyler, The Creator, but i listened to the Igor album with them and it was excellent! I'm super stoked about On Time though. GFR is one of my all tome favorite bands and this was the last of their original albums i was missing. I've been on a massive Prog and folk rock binge this past year, so i am alwo excited to add some more ELP to the collection as well. All in all, i added a lot of great records to my collection this year, and i am hoping for a bunch more in the next year!
I'm traveling to see my parents tomorrow, so I'm doing my Sunday Spin a day early. Today is a classic album, Business As Usual. Undeniably Men At Work's best album, it's a defining album of the 1980's. Who Can It Be Now and Down Under still take massive airtime on modern airwaves while secondary bangers like Be Good Johnny and People Just Love To Play With Words keep the album entertaining and fresh the whole way through in a away many bands fail at. The great thing about the album is it's super easy to get your hands on a great copy for cheap. Honestly it's probably the best value record you can have in a collection based on price (i paid $7 for this original American pressing), sound quality, and ease of finding since there are literally millions of them from the 80's alone floating around.
She's my little warrior queen. She's thougher than a bix of nails always trying to get her way.
Niniane is unhappy and has been hiding under the bed and hissing ever since we got home. She's curled up on the heating pad at the foot of the bed and she seems content woth that for now. She keeps hissong at Bou though. Definitely does not want to deal with her right now.
One of my favorites in my collection. It's a 71 Terra Haute pressing and the sound is absolutely beautiful on it the sleeve has seen its share of abuse, but i dont care when the record sounds that good. Obviously the album needs no introduction, and ever song on it is absolutely amazing. Busted this out while i was making Christmas cookies, because Iron Man is ky spirit animal while dealing with Christmas mayhem.
