Seen REK a number of times. Gringo Honeymoon Have seen REK a couple of times. Absolutely love the Gringo Honeymoon album.

It really is an interesting inflection point, as the term "curry favor" is a term I consider neutral in relation to ethnic groups. But, if the neutral term is used in relation to an ethnic group where some part of the word group has connotations AND the receiver of said words interprets that...

I hear other people's opinion, and I suspect I'll be on the losing end of this whole argument, but I'd say I read this as a dad joke, where it was easy to use the correct idiomatic phrase (looked it up) "curry favor" and have it attached to a unique identifying personal characteristic. Are we...

My wife and I have recently started wearing nighttime mouth guards for our teeth grinding, the result of which is much merriment at our lispy proclamations of love. The word pithy would probably be pronounced clearly regardless.

Chris Knight singing a Robert Earl Keen song. Brutally beautiful. Chris has written some damn good songs himself.

I just want to see UNC games live and that's pretty much it. How can I single that out is my question. Right now I pay for YTTV, but only use it for a little sports on Saturday and Sunday.

I will not, if at all possible, become a financial burden on my wife or my stepson. If I have learned anything, it is to prepare accordingly and even...have significant direction over end of life choices (including when end of life occurs).

And let me just say, the Ukraine and Poland and the Baltic states...well they just got "bitch slapped" in the years leading up to WWII and then during the war.

Just finished Bloodlands. Astonishing and...just astonishing. The afterword of the newest version of the book is so insightful and connected to today. I just can't recommend enough. History must inform the present and the future. And I'm now off to read his little, but popular book aptly named...

Fantastic, painful book I just listened to. Brutal. https://www.npr.org/2025/03/17/nx-s1-5330583/buffalo-hunter-hunter-review-stephen-graham-jones-horror

White, middle-aged, upper middle class (lucky and privileged) planning to attend in Winston-Salem. Is that your normal Antifa profile?

My Bladen County "double-wide living" upbringing accent seems to be going strong, but no one else around me has the accent "thickness" that I have.
