Old man, loves Milwaukee and cats and Baroque music, pining for a more just and equitable and kind future
I'd be thrilled if they chose one of these for one of the Organ Voluntaries at the #9LC, which I see is only 28 days, 21 hours, and 20 minutes away!

Found it! www.youtube.com/watch?v=w4JR...

And BWV 1179 and an interview with Koopman are on the same channel.

I love J.S. in look-what's-possible mode, such self-confidence

I used to listen to Life Line when I was very young, broadcast by a small "c" clear channel AM radio station out of Iowa. One of my older brothers had to deprogram me.

I remember it as standard Bircher stuff interspersed with ads for Hunt's ladies' cosmetics side hustle

When they sent me West of The Cities, not only did being surrounded by nothing but other white people seem really wrong, but those same white people made some of the worst Mexican-ish food I've ever eaten.

And the coffee was weak and horrible

it's also weird, the degree to which platonic friendships are so misunderstood or misconstrued by most people

Guiteau's pen had a big ... empty space above the split part, unlike what I'm used to seeing in photographs, and I'm kind of curious what's up with that
November 23, 2025 at 6:16 PM
It's pretty good, especially with props and costumes. I'm pretty sure that the lobster dinner was an anachronism for 1880, so I wouldn't be too surprised if the pen's slightly incorrect

So I was at a friend's house watching the "Death by Lightning" last night, and there were a dozen closeup scenes of writing with pens, mostly by Charles Guiteau and a few of James Garfield and a few others. Have you seen it? I'm curious how well they did with the pen choices.

Bathtub cake is problematic. See Geisel, T.S., D.Phil. (hon.), "The Cat in the Hat Comes Back", 1958.

I hope you've learned your lesson about eating cake in the bathtub

We need more than one. And, @benwikler.bsky.social would be amazing at this.

how could such a thing *not* be ultra-processed?
November 22, 2025 at 4:10 PM
I dunno, but who the hell is "Mr. Siead", why does he think he's important, and how do you pronounce 'Siead'?

People like her tormentors are the reason I increasingly *hate* the Fark politics tab, instead of just finding it tiresome

You're right, but at least it gives me something to tease my grandson about after he's moved on to something else

50 years ago I thought to myself "who is that raspy old lady" and now I'm thinking damn she's fine
