Prophetic. They predict the internet and society today way back in 1985….and they predict the attempted Coup d’Etat that is occurring now.
Hüsker Dü is one of my top 3 bands.
My favorite quote about them: Nirvana bassist Krist Novoselic said that Nirvana’s musical style was “nothing new; Hüsker Dü did it before us.”
‘Divide And Conquer”
-Hüsker Dü – 1985Well they divided up all the land
And we’ve got states and cities
Cities have their neighborhoods
And more subdivisionsThere’s countries divided by walls
Oceans and latitudes
And longitude, longing to find out
Just what they’re missing, whoaThey’re lots of area codes
And nine digit zip codes
Secret decoder ring codes
Arteries, shopping nodesWe’ll invent some new computers
Link up the global village
And get AP, UPI, and Reuters
To tell everybody, news newsWe’ll be one happy neighborhood
Spread out across the world
Who’s going to stop that burglar
From breaking in my house
If he lives that far away, whaWe’ll be just like old friends
No means to your ends
The police state is to busy
The neighborhood’s getting out of handBig Brother on every wall
Muzak plays in all the halls
Empires see the rise and fall
They divide, conquerIt’s not about my politics
Something happened way too quick
A bunch of men who played it sick
They divide, conquerIt’s all here before your eyes
Safety is a big disguise
That hides among the other lies
They divide, conquer, what oh oh, oh ohWell I expect I won’t be heard
‘Cause my silence is assured
Never a discouraging word
They divide and conquerThey divide and conquer
Divide and conquer
They divide and conquer
Divide and conquer, listenNa na na na na na na
Na na na na na na na
Na na na na, whoaDivide and conquer
Divide and conquer
And conquer
Divide and conquer
And conquer
Divide and conquer
And conquer, listenLa la la la la la la
La la la la la la la
La la la, whoa, yeh

You know I liked (not loved) Nirvana, but wasn’t a big Dave Grohl fan for a while.
The Foo Fighters grew on me.
@ Deplorable Bumr50:

each time was a ‘HOLY-SHIT’ moment
@ coldwarrior:

Hawaii update from our man on the crater rim! Well 3 miles away from it actually.
🙂
May 20 – ALPHA UPDATE: Lava is in the ocean!
– Puna District:
* Flow front # 3 has split into 2 flows and as of 06:00 (6:00 a.m.) 5/20, both are entering the ocean near Mac Kenzie Beach Park on Hwy 137.
* Flow front # 1 crossed Hwy 137 near the 13 mile marker (also near Mac Kenzie Beach Park) at approximately 23:00 (11:00 p.m.) 5/19 last night and is also entering the ocean.
* The following roads are closed and all are asked to stay out of the area.
– Highway 137 is closed between Kamaili Road and Pohoiki Road.
– Kamaili Road is closed to all through traffic.
* Due to the lava entering the ocean off Highway 137 in the vicinity of McKenzie Park, the following policies and health warnings are in effect:
– Sulfur Dioxide emissions have greatly increased.
– Be aware of the laze (Lava haze) hazard and stay away from any ocean plume. Laze is formed when hot lava hits the ocean sending hydrochloric acid and steam with fine glass particles into the air. Health hazards of laze include lung damage, and eye and skin irritation. Be aware that the laze plume travels with the wind and can change direction without warning.
BOTTOM LINE: This means residents east of Mac Kenzie Beach Park (toward Isaac Hale Beach Park and Kapoho) can only exit via the east end of Hwy 137 and Hwy 132.
Residents west of Mac Kenzie Beach Park (toward Kahena and Kaimu) can only exit via the west end of Hwy 137 and Hwy 130.
– Halema`uma`u/Kilauea:
* For now, Pelehonumea remains busy in Puna so we are pretty quiet as of this morning in Volcano/Halema`uma`u area.
A shout out to all the members of our Armed Forces! Hope you all had a great Armed Forces Day yesterday,

Trump demand for DOJ investigation is dangerous/democracy threatening. DOJ response is disappointing.There is no basis/no predicate for an http://inquiry.It ’s time to stand for time honored DOJ independence.That separation from White House is a critical part of our system.

Just stopping by for a quick hello. We’re watching ‘Bladerunner 2049’.
It sucks. At least it is 2 and a half hours long. /
@ yenta-fada:
Yenta!!!
*waves*

Definitely wasn’t the best movie of the year.
Deadpool 2 is pretty good, though.
@ lobo91:
Any fave series lately?
@ lobo91:
Bladerunner is looong, boring, depressing, and it has snow. Definitely partly Canadian. The director is from Quebec.
@ yenta-fada:
the girl is getting into Vikings on netflix
@ yenta-fada:
Hmm…The Expanse is good. Although SyFy just announced that it won’t be back for a 4th season. Hopefully some other network will pick it up.
Altered Carbon was interesting.
Season 7 of Homeland wasn’t bad.
Legion is interesting, if you can follow it.

Dead Pool 2 is a hoot. The baby legs scene is blizzare.

Sounds interesting. I refuse to get Netflix. Would never see hubby again.
@ RIX:
I loved the after-credits scene where he goes back in time and shoots Ryan Reynolds as he finishes the script for Green Lantern
@ lobo91:
We watched the first season of ‘The Expanse’ Liked the hard=bitten romantic detective, and the plot was twisty enough to stay interesting. Also liked the first season of ‘American Gods’.
@ yenta-fada:
Sherlock

I liked some of them. My TV life is full of detectives. Probably a larger pattern of trying to make logical sense of the insanity all
around me. 🙂
lobo91 wrote:
It is an entertaining movie. The writers including Ryan Reynolds have great senses of humor.
I do like how the guy pokes fun at himself ove Green Lantern. Dead Pool 2 won’t win any Oscars , but a great view.
@ RIX:
As much as Green Lantern sucked, he probably wouldn’t want to go back in time and not do it, since it’s where he met his wife.
lobo91 wrote:
Blake Lively! He did good.
@ RIX:
And before her, he was married to Scarlett Johannson.
I’m surprised someone hasn’t started a cult worshiping him or something
lobo91 wrote:
Wow, he’s got it goin on.
@ Calo:
It’d be nice if a season of Sherlock was more than 4 episodes every 2-3 years.
yenta-fada wrote:
Yep, and it’s a good thing **I** didn’t move there!
@ lobo91:
I hear rumblings that Amazon Prime might pick it up!

I just got molested at the liqueur store… Some crazy 20 something Mexican girl grabbed my butt while I was standing at the counter. She and her girlfriend thought it was funny as hell.

You could not have received timely medical care here. Money cannot buy healthcare here. You just get in line. IF you are an Elite member, they would probably send you to the US for treatment. They have been doing this for years. It is much worse now.

How was your interview? I know it is hard to evaluate, but it would be interesting to know how you felt about it.

You won’t get any disagreement from me. BTW, it was six months ago today that I was diagnosed. 10 rounds down, 2 to go. It’s been a bitch. Hope you are doing as well as can be expected.

@ Deplorable Macker:
Wow. You are certainly tough. Great that you have completed so much of your therapy. The Tard Trudeau is what you get when you think a 40 something guy who has never held a job would make a fine Prime Minister. It’s like Obummer. Seal the health & academic records, lose proof of citizenship, and vote for the guy who is biracial. Oops, I mean black.
@ yenta-fada:
It went well, as I received a contingent offer!
I will tell you about it later, gotta go to work.
My first “panel” interview.
@ Deplorable Bumr50:
Excellent!
OK ladies and germs, this one is long and brutal, if you are easily disturbed by big words or difficult intellectual concepts, or if long detailed explanations quickly bore or frighten you, you should probably pass on it.

This is an interesting article. It shows how Snopes and the media work together to push a narrative.
