The Swamp

Don’t take offense, and maybe I’m misunderstanding you here, but are you living under a rock? I mean, unless you’re in complete denial about the virus and its potency, how is it even possible to deny things aren’t emotionally different than how things would otherwise be? What emotional toll were yo...

How can you say that? Again, i'm virtually positive those numbers listed are just covid cases and not car crashes or heart attacks or what have you. 2,500 extra deaths a day. Given that on a normal day (quick search turned up a cdc report) is 6,000 or so, i'd say that nearly 50% additional deaths (...

I think there are reasons that go beyond an acceptable body count you’re referring to. 1) It’s a pandemic. The people who are cognizant of the virus and how it spreads are not going to take to the streets. 2) We are fighting a war on multiple fronts, including one over data integrity and also misinf...

https://twitter.com/sundae_gurl/status/1336467842481479681?s=21 Those numbers are a little odd to me. The average death rate in the US the past couple years has been about 7800 per day. So even without Covid a normal day would be twice as deadly as Antietam. Well I do think it was limited to COVID ...

A friend reasonably asked why a lame duck coaching staff would have any interest in aiding a tank. There's just no incentive for literally anyone involved to tank. Players are playing for their jobs -- either with the Jets or for a future gig. You can say it was an unusual decision to send the hous...

So I finally figured out that if I switch our cellular plan from VZW to Xfinity I'll save $80 a month. What the hell, they're using Verizon's infrastructure (and we're in a pandemic) anyway, so I splurged the other day for Disney+. The Mandalorian is easily the best thing from the Star Wars franchis...

Looks like the G-Men withstood that 3rd and 4 where McCoy went deep down the sideline, saving the Seahawks from burning one of their timeouts. I remember watching the Bucs eek out a win vs the Giants several weeks ago thinking they were the best 1-6 team I'd ever seen. But then how'd you know anyway?

Seinfeld didn't move the needle much for me. I mean the comedian himself sucked and it wasn't until they built out a supporting cast of far superior talent did anything really get accomplished. IMO, the breath of fresh air occurred when the Simpsons got their own show/broke away from Tracy Ullman, o...

Nels Cline Singers' Share the Wealth dropped last week. It's real good. https://youtu.be/-dZpVsPniB8 It is. Never heard of these guys before. That whole album is amazing, although try as I may, I can’t find much pleasure in the disjointed nature of track 4. Nels Cline is an avant-garde guitarist wh...

I hate that you are having to deal with that and that she is going through it as well. I know you're not looking for advice, but I'd offer up a small tidbit that having a kid almost never makes things better unless your situation is "everything is perfect in our lives and this is the absolute ...

Seems like a good time to mention that cantaloupe is a solid choice for a breakfast side. So I was at Sprouts mid-last week, and frankly this probably belongs in the T-Day menu thread but whatever. I picked up a no sugar-added, double-crust blueberry pie, cuz well, I love blueberries. When we sat do...

Yes I suppose that is the case. Apologies.
Not to draw this out any more, but where do you go after a song called “No More Lockdowns”?

Probably form a caravan and take off into the mystic and not be back for astral weeks.

That I don’t know. And don’t know that it matters. I do think that what we know about an artist can affect our enjoyment of their work. But no one hears Tears In Heaven and thinks it’s an anti-unlocked windows song, much less racist. The takeaway here is that Van Morrison has now recruited Eric Cla...

I’m not saying it won’t turn out that way but what evidence is there that the single is “anti-lockdown?” Had Stereogum or Variety actually heard the song or is the assumption based on the source? Because he has already released multiple anti-lockdown, anti-science songs during the pandemic? Right. ...
