A Day in History on "swill milk" and how markets do not internally self-regulate.

Not the entire post in alt texts of photo. Left out some stuff on the NYT publishibng investigations.
Appears to be a white uniformed person testing metal containers of milk. Thousands of babies died mysteriously in 1850s New York. Doctors couldn't explain it. Then a journalist discovered the truth: the milk wasn't just spoiled-it was poisoned on purpose. ----- From the post A Day in History Something was killing New York's children. Thousands of infants died each year throughout the 1850s, wasting away from uncontrollable diarrhea and mysterious ailments that doctors couldn't explain. They gave names to the epidemic—cholera infantum, marasmus—but names without answers don't save lives. Parents watched helplessly as healthy babies withered and died within weeks of weaning. The medical establishment floated theories, debated causes, searched for patterns. Nothing made sense. What they didn't know: the answer was in every bottle, every cup, every spoonful of milk they fed their children. And it wasn't an accident. It was profit. In the mid-1800s, New York City exploded in population. Manhattan grew from sixty thousand residents in 1800 to over half a million by 1850. Immigrants flooded in. Factories rose. The city devoured surrounding farmland, pushing dairy operations farther into the countryside. Getting fresh milk to urban customers became increasingly difficult and expensive. Without refrigeration, milk transported from rural farms in hot weather often spoiled before reaching customers. Fresh country milk became a luxury only the wealthy could afford. The working poor needed cheap milk. Their mothers couldn't always breastfeed—they had to return to factory work, or their health prevented it, or societal pressures pushed them toward early weaning. Babies needed sustenance. Enter the entrepreneurs.

Terrifying!
Only two 911 operators taking 2 calls a minute couldn’t help these poor desperate people in Texas.

Nearly 600 calls were released this week from the catastrophic July 4 flash flooding that swamped Kerr County, TX, killing more than 130 people and turning a national holiday into a tragedy.

Callers were terrified and desperate, and some did not survive.

Artists: there’s no ethical way where you get every song ever made for $15.

Fans: you need to fix that.

Artists: we did, cancel Spotify and buy albums directly from us.

Fans: oh no no, we meant fix it in a way where we still pay $15 a month and get infinite music ethically.

You see the problem?

According to a new study, members of Congressional leadership perform 47% better in stock market trades than their rank-and-file peers, thanks to access to nonpublic information.

Today would be a great day to ban ALL elected officials from trading stock, don't you think?

As told by Aristotle, when a demagogue—wielding rhetorical tricks and inflammatory speech—begins to convince a populace in a democratic state to override its own laws and constitutional institutions in favor of unreasoned whims and trends, then that state is in danger of losing its democracy.

A very New Wave style track, lots of guitar, some wormy synth thrown in here and there, spazzy drums. I like the background vocals, "It's a sunbeam!". Hope you enjoy!

Spotify treats their low audience artists like slaves and the high audience aren't much better. Their podcast content is also full of Nazis and other rightwing trash and misinformation. Why are you all still posting there? Do what you feel you gotta do but as for me ... #BoycottSpotify

A little bit of instrumental rock I meant to put vocals to but never did. I think it stands on its own pretty well. The mighty Memorymoog is doing some sweet pads along with various other things, all played by hand per the usual.

AI based job interview today. Apparently, I'm ready to bow down to AI overlords as I said thank you several times reflexively. Was weird in a number of ways but perhaps chiefly in how not-weird it was, uncanny valley notwithstanding. That may say more about corporate culture than AI efficacy though.

The one year anniversary of Yoon's failed martial law takeover just passed and lots of untold stories came out proving that THE ONLY REASON KOREA IS STILL A FREE COUNTRY IS BECAUSE PEOPLE DISOBEYED ILLEGAL ORDERS.

The coup was over in hours because people said no.

842,000 Americans died from overdoses in the last 25 years, 500,000 from opioids. If we’re hunting narco-terrorists we can probably stop blowing up fishing boats and start blowing up boardrooms.

DANELECTRO DC59 Limited Edition ("3021") - 2pu black solidbody reissue China 2010. For Sale.

A prized gift for Led Zep fans, modern-day replica of Page's 3021. NOS but factory aged for When The Levee Breaks!

This is a DC59 Limited Edition/3021 reissue, six string electric guitar made by Danelectro in China 2010 in a black finish. The “seal” pickguard is white and has an aged finish. It is a double cutaway, masonite top and bottom with a plywood frame. This DC59 Limited Edition/3021 reissue is basically new-old-stock (NOS). You even get to remove the plastic on the cavity cover! The matt black finish is a sharp looking with white tolex binding. Overall, Danelectro issued this model with an aged finish that’s apparent in the body color, pick guard, pickups, and tuners. The pickups and electronics are simplified to one tone, one volume control with a three-way toggle switch to choose between neck, bridge or both pickups. This model was a limited run and has unique pickups and tone. They’re strong and bright single coils with a matt finish. And, these single-coils are considerably more clean sounding than most. The modern bridge is fully adjustable for height and intonation similar to some later models. It comes with a good quality gig bag. Description from VintageSilvertones.com
