There's a professor from NYU, I believe (can't remember his name), that CNN sometimes has on. Expertise is technology and social media. He says that, basically, around 10 companies run the stock market (implying how the bottom will inevitably fall out although he doesn't say that). He says...

Don't know where I'm going to go with this post. Mostly just ranting. The day it happened, my retired mom texts me about how mad she is. With Iryna being killed (she lives near Charlotte) and Charlie Kirk being killed. She knows my politics and was asking why the left does so much of this. She...

So, I caught up with my musician co-worker. Actual musician. Has a Spotify page. He agrees: Alice in Chains best band of the 90s. He described to me how they use dissociative chords. I don't understand much of that but made sense. Said that, among other elements, made them very unique. As for...

It's insane how "hard rock" can lead you to sleep, like "Jar of Flies." I've experienced the same. Thank you for sharing! I hadn't even thought about Rage or Tool. But all so good. What a wonderful decade of music!

Oh, my god! Oasis! How could I forget! Probably not the technical difficulty of some of the others mentioned here but certainly sounded as good as anyone. Love Oasis!

Regarding Alice in Chains, just sort of a personal aside here. I remember riding around in the car as a boy with my mom at the time. She would let me listen to 106.5 The End, out of Charlotte. Whenever "Rooster" came on, she would turn it off. It's admittedly a very uncomfortable song. But her...

"Mellon Collie and the Infinite Sadness" certainly one of the best albums of the 90s. Hadn't thought about it before now but may well be the best. Maybe even better than "Jar of Flies," which I posited earlier. As you bring up here with REM and the Pixies (and as others have done with Beastie...

Those are good contenders, no doubt. I could listen to "Karma Police" for hours on replay. Could be wrong but I think Radiohead's oeuvre spans into the early 00s, however. So, I think we need to limit ourselves to what was produced exclusively in the 90s. And regarding Soundgarden, while I...

Generally speaking, Nirvana seems often considered the best band of the 90s. Or at least the most iconic. There are two reasons for this: 1. Nirvana was, objectively, a great band. 2. The cult of Cobain For my part, however, I offer Alice in Chains as the best band of the 90s, despite almost...

You may well be right. Certainly, Trump is not a strategist. More of a "winger." But whether or not he conflates tactics with strategy (or whatever goes on in that tiny brain of his), everything he does is to serve only one goal: what's good for Trump. There's a reason why we could reasonably...

Well, they vote against their own interests but they just don't realize it.

You're a very dumb person.

And remember, I called the last three elections correctly.

I will leave this here and won't comment much, as I often just post then flee. Because I don't really feel like talking. But here's what's going to happen: Assuming this guy lives, due to his age and health, he's going to declare at some point that he was robbed for 2020 and that he's due...

My god, Cat. What in the world? I'm so sorry to hear that. Where was this?
