	♥ 9:10am Crownless Gander: Good morning! Love that Hilma af Klint; my ex-roommate put up a poster of this one years ago and then she suddenly started popping up everywhere. Hilma, not my roommate. This piece seems a perfect soundtrack to the painting. Good morning!
	♥ 9:10am Handy Haversack: ↳ Trouble @9:04 A caller from Montana wanted Clay to pass along a hug -- he had taken a class with you once.
	♥ 9:11am Crownless Gander: ↳ Dan near StL @9:10 Sounds about right.

	♥ 9:17am tom tom the pipers son: ↳ Franco Twinkie @9:15 i think i told you once before so this might sound familar.,..someone other than jeff magnun from neutral milk hotel in a place next to echo lake
	♥ 9:17am Dan S: I mean the bird sounds, of course.
	9:17am Dan near StL: Eno!
	♥ 9:18am tom tom the pipers son: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @9:17 mangum
	♥ 9:18am Acid Cazh: Good morning Trouble & The Troubled, today I want to disassemble capitalism and the Work Industrial Complex, allowing the spirit of humanity to crawl from the withered cocoon of the forty-hour-week, stretch and dry its colorful wings and float aloft and free forever.
	♥ 9:18am Webhamster Henry: Hi Birdlisteners! I hears some nice variety yesterday biking near the Hudson River on the Sojourner Truth Park trail . Don't forget to check out former WFMU Drummer Stream DJ Mayuko's WGXC program Beakuency. wavefarm.org...
	♥ 9:18am ∫ydniuß: ↳ Dan near StL @9:16 ooh those are nice
	♥ 9:18am gauche knee: ↳ Song: "Like Dust that Covers the Mirror" by "anton batagov" New to this & love album name! “Prostrations to the Thirty-Five Confession Buddhas is one of the most powerful methods available to purify harmful actions we have done in the past. By doing this practice mindfully, we can prevent unwanted sufferings from occurring in the future” 🕊️
	9:19am unpopularfred: Lovely start this morning. The birds outside the window are joining in.
	9:19am Dan near StL: Acid, good luck with that. Kids now spend the summer pacing back and forth staring down at phone.
	♥ 9:19am Webhamster Henry: ↳ Acid Cazh @9:18 "Workists" are a plague on the Earth. Workless of the world, unite!
	♥ 9:20am Dan S: ↳ Acid Cazh @9:18 And what will you do after lunch?
	♥ 9:20am Handy Haversack: ↳ gauche knee @9:18 A guy I knew when I was in grad school did 100,000 prostrations on a loooong retreat in I want to say Tibet? Maybe it was India with Tibetans, though.
	♥ 9:20am Acid Cazh: ↳ Dan S @9:20 Have a glass of rosé by the pool.
	♥ 9:21am Dan S: ↳ Acid Cazh @9:20 Good plan.
	9:21am Dan near StL: Eno for President.
	♥ 9:22am bixa (𝘣𝘦𝘦-𝘩𝘢): good morning! lovelovelove the hilma piece here. obsessed with her. great pick as usual
	♥ 9:22am Irene Trudel: Lovely start to my day, Trouble! The birds are being enhanced by the birds outside my car window, as I wait for alternate side parking to end.
	♥ 9:22am newton: I have to go do some work. At least it is my own work, no one is making anything off my labor
	♥ 9:22am Franco Twinkie: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @9:17 Oh, okay. Either The Echo or The Echoplex. One is upstairs on Sunset Blvd. the other one is downstairs with street access. Neutral Milk Hotel person - good choice.
	9:22am Dan near StL: Flavor Budd Living
	♥ 9:23am Crosby in KC: ↳ Dan near StL @9:21 I have a feeling he would pass on that
	9:23am Dan near StL: You’re probably right
	♥ 9:24am Acid Cazh: ↳ Song: "Like Dust that Covers the Mirror" by "anton batagov" Trying to find this album anywhere, it apparently was only released on CD and there are no copies for sale on Discogs, no one has even put up a low-res version on YouTube or anything. Makes me want it even more.
	♥ 9:25am Handy Haversack: ↳ Irene Trudel @9:22 On Sunday as my friends were showing up here for games out in the back, I hit the "listen" button on the intercom and could hear the sparrows in the back yard as well as the ones out front, coming through the speaker, and there was a moment there where I was at risk of just standing like that for quite some time!
	♥ 9:26am Trouble: @ acid: it's on bandcamp
	9:26am Dan near StL: “Open the door…let ‘em in.”
	♥ 9:26am Karl: This year's sparrows have claimed the birdhouse outside our front window, and it looks like they're expecting. The robins and mourning doves are everywhere. Occasional cardinals, crows, Cooper's hawks, osprey. Haven't seen the warblers yet.
	♥ 9:27am HyperDose: ↳ Franco Twinkie @9:12 Chill place, chill people, never a rush to do anything. The boy's alright, Franco
	9:27am Dan near StL: I love the tufted titmouse haircut.
	♥ 9:27am Karl: We have eight honeysuckle plants in our yard now, so I'm hoping to see some hummingbirds this year.
	♥ 9:27am Acid Cazh: ↳ Trouble @9:26 ORLY?!?
	♥ 9:28am Franco Twinkie: ↳ HyperDose @9:27 Coolio!
	♥ 9:28am tom tom the pipers son: ↳ Franco Twinkie @9:22 my ex and i met this native angelino at the dan graham opening who was really nice, except he seemed a bit bullied by his girlfriendm, we went over his place which was tiny and in this little mews with other units, faux olde spanish style, we alaso went to the bakery where his g.f. worked in eagle rock on some busy road...dug eagle rock vibe tho' not sur if i'd live there
	9:28am Dan near StL: Many, many hummingbirds and praying mantis here.
	♥ 9:28am Karl: Oh, and starlings, loads of them. On the slipstream.
	♥ 9:28am Acid Cazh: ↳ Trouble @9:26 No search results for Anton Batagov ☹️
	♥ 9:29am tom tom the pipers son: ↳ HyperDose @9:27 sounds ideal...congrats...!
	♥ 9:29am Charles in Chicago: ↳ Song: "cross bay" by "meg baird" ah Meg Baird, perfect
	♥ 9:29am Phillippe: good morning
	♥ 9:29am Handy Haversack: ↳ Karl @9:26 Lots of hangry baby sparrows out back! Robins and doves aplenty. A grackle has been hanging around, too! There was a baby starling on the patio next door the other day that could have made a WFMU hit!
	♥ 9:29am northguineahills: ↳ Song: "cross bay" by "meg baird" nice, meg!
	♥ 9:30am Acid Cazh: ↳ Trouble @9:26 Also no bandcamp results for "Music for the 35 Buddhas" anywhere
	♥ 9:30am Charles in Chicago: ↳ Acid Cazh @9:24 I see one copy on Discogs for $40 www.discogs.com...
	♥ 9:31am tom tom the pipers son: ↳ Dan near StL @9:28 where are the praying mantis' seems we don't get them in NE anymore
	♥ 9:31am Chris in Kensington Bklyn: ↳ Handy Haversack @9:29 The neighbor chickens are out on our block, doin' their thang.
	♥ 9:32am Charles in Chicago: ↳ Song: "cross bay" by "meg baird" I like this record but the lyrics are really hard to make out, even for Meg Baird
	♥ 9:32am Franco Twinkie: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @9:28 He lived in a bungalow court. They're all over the older parts of L.A. I lived in one in Pasadena for almost twenty eight years. As I said to a friend once - it's like been in an aquarium full of really interesting fish.
	♥ 9:32am Acid Cazh: ↳ Charles in Chicago @9:30 I followed the link you posted and it tells me "No items available in the Marketplace"
	♥ 9:33am tom tom the pipers son: ↳ Franco Twinkie @9:32 ha! i can see that ...a micro community
	♥ 9:33am melinda: Morning Trouble and friends!
	♥ 9:34am Charles in Chicago: ↳ Acid Cazh @9:32 Weird. I see a link that says "1 copy for sale" but when I click it nothing is there. A chimera.
	♥ 9:35am TDK60: Is anyone good with computers, internet? I can't open other beside WFMU. At least it opens.
	♥ 9:35am Charles in Chicago: Here it is on Batagov's site but it doesn't seem to be for sale www.batagov.com...
	9:35am SheWolf: The weather has arrived here so you should get it soon. It's just a good old fashioned thunderstorm.
	♥ 9:35am Charles in Chicago: ↳ TDK60 @9:35 I work with computers. But I don't see what your problem is!
	♥ 9:36am TDK60: ↳ TDK60 @9:35 ..other sites. I already restarted computer
	♥ 9:36am Phillippe: ↳ Karl @9:28 the winter birds have cleared out here and the aquatics are showing up. Blue herons, green herons, great and garden variety egrets, cormorants, osprey, the occasional eagle, fish crows, red wing blackbirds, mallards
	9:36am Chief Guy: Wait it’s Thursday already. I was actually expecting Matt Warwicks voice!
	♥ 9:36am Charles in Chicago: ↳ Charles in Chicago @9:35 tdk: do you get some kind of error message, or just a spinner, or what?
	♥ 9:36am Karl: ↳ Charles in Chicago @9:35 The problem is coming from inside the computers. Also, the computers are in everything. So... the problem is everywhere.
	♥ 9:36am melinda: ↳ Franco Twinkie @9:32 I've always been fascinated by those.
	♥ 9:36am Franco Twinkie: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @9:33 Good and bad. I had a tenancy to look no further than the walkway in front of my place for, um, company?
	♥ 9:36am Acid Cazh: ↳ Charles in Chicago @9:34 Illusory and impossible to grasp, like all phenomena that cross the threshold of consciousness, according to the Buddha.
	9:37am Colin: “I’m here no matter what.” You said that with such confidence and strength. Love ya trouble, you’re an inspiration to us all.
	♥ 9:37am HyperDose: ↳ TDK60 @9:36 That should fix it. Fresh cache
	9:37am Dan near StL: Tttps, one hour East of StL. Just amazing, they let you pet them.
	♥ 9:37am TDK60: ↳ Charles in Chicago @9:35 Morning Charles. Hee! No problem having WFMU open, yes! When I try to search for other sites, I just get a blank window.
	♥ 9:38am tom tom the pipers son: cool breeze coming in window ahead of "stormcloud'24... the winding and wetting"
	♥ 9:38am Franco Twinkie: ↳ melinda @9:36 I know you've turned over a few rocks in L.A.
	♥ 9:38am Karl: ↳ Phillippe @9:36 A great blue heron was spotted here the other day, and correctly identified by my family.
	♥ 9:38am Gregosaurus: The dust always wins.
	♥ 9:38am tom tom the pipers son: ↳ Dan near StL @9:37 shakes head* they're amazing creatures
	♥ 9:39am Charles in Chicago: ↳ TDK60 @9:37 Truly bizarre. What OS, browser, etc?
	♥ 9:40am tom tom the pipers son: ↳ Franco Twinkie @9:36 ah right...maybe not "familiarity breeding contempt" but something like that...
	♥ 9:41am TDK60: ↳ Charles in Chicago @9:39 Chi-town Charles: It's Windows in Lenovo desktop. Bing search.
	9:41am Dan near StL: Hummingbirds can be preyed upon by praying mantis. Nytimes ran a horrific image.
	♥ 9:42am TDK60: ↳ TDK60 @9:41 Bing is Microsoft right? (not a computer guy)
	♥ 9:42am Handy Haversack: ↳ TDK60 @9:41 Bing's API is down, and so Bing, DuckDuckGo, ChatGPT search, and some others are as well. If you need search in the meantime, try: search.disroot.org...
	9:42am Tara: mornin! 🐦🐦🐦 a month or two ago i swear i saw a post for marshall allen birthday arkestra show that would be happening and you could buy a ticket to livestream it. but then i lost it (the link, the memory..) anyone know about it?
	♥ 9:42am Martin Van Nostrand: Good Morning...should anyone be interested, my blog post from yesterday celebrating the life of Sun Ra. It's a truncated appraisal. It would be a blog unto itself to tell his entire story. But here it is, with a playlist as well: somethingishappeningdotblog.com...
	♥ 9:43am tom tom the pipers son: ↳ Dan near StL @9:41 oh....why can't we all just get along.... i think times into that sort of darwinianism
	♥ 9:43am chresti: Yesterday I watched a red-headed woodpecker pecking at the holes in the metal post of the staff parking sign.
	♥ 9:43am Phillippe: ↳ Karl @9:38 they are lovely, graceful birds with the worst call ever for sure. We live on a little cove and there's a small point that juts out where the herons and egrets rotate through, I guess because the fishing is good. Kinda cool because in the spring and summer, I'd say something is hanging out there about 25% of the time.
	9:43am Dan near StL: I need a must own Sun Ra list.
	♥ 9:43am Franco Twinkie: When I saw SunRa, Marshall Allen flew over the audience on a wire like Tinkerbell in a spacesuit. That's in the past, but at lease he did it.
	♥ 9:43am Charles in Chicago: ↳ Handy Haversack @9:42 TDK - so it's just search that's not working? you should be able to go to websites directly if you type in www.whatever.com
	9:44am still b/p: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @9:31 Last praying mantis I saw was a couple summers ago in an unlikely moment and spot -- perched very close to me on the very top of a ladder's side rail while I was up on the ladder. Came to help, I guess. If not with hands-on labor, then at least with prayer.
	♥ 9:44am tom tom the pipers son: ↳ chresti @9:43 woodpecker 2.0
	♥ 9:44am Charles in Chicago: just use a different search engine, like google or the one handy suggested
	♥ 9:44am Handy Haversack: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @9:44 Metal is the new wood!
	♥ 9:45am jmr3: ↳ chresti @9:43 Used to have one in my neighborhood that would hammer on the metal streetlight - sometimes they just to that to tell the world "I am here!"
	♥ 9:45am tom tom the pipers son: ↳ still b/p @9:44 ha! nice....
	♥ 9:45am D Rok: ↳ Song: "beautiful is black" by "brandee younger" Good morning Trouble, all. Just getting our first thunderstorm of the year here in Brooklyn, and this is the perfect soundtrack.
	♥ 9:45am Zinn The Mood: Hey folks. Sitting on a park bench under a canopy of trees as the deep grey sky begins to release its bloated contents. Is that distant thunder, or the construction on the waterfront where machines are bulking up the shoreline? Reading “We Are Cuba,” by Helen Jaffe. An amazing, stirring account of how they not only, time after time, endured brutal American sanctions (which are really amount to an act of war) but thrived. Dynamic collective spirit and engagement at every level. Highly recommended to push back against the horrendous propaganda here. Listened a lot to the WKCR Sun Ra birthday broadcast yesterday. Didn’t realize how diverse he was. Great stuff! Just got really dark here, and the rain is staring to come down…headed inside. Massive lightning now!
	♥ 9:46am Phillippe: ↳ chresti @9:43 ha, yes, it's that time of year. Guy across the street had one banging on his aluminum downspouts. I read that when they are doing that loud pecking they are trying to attract a mate.
	♥ 9:46am Handy Haversack: ↳ still b/p @9:44 I'm glad you made it down. They aren't there to pray but to prey! Preying mantises have no time for gods!
	♥ 9:46am tom tom the pipers son: ↳ Handy Haversack @9:44 i guess don't tell that to MLB...is that coming...?
	9:47am Dan near StL: Liter soda bottle, empty, with tiny amount of beverage in bottom. Flies go in. Praying mantis hovers at opening, catches each fly as it emerges. Discovered by accident.
	♥ 9:48am TDK60: ↳ Handy Haversack @9:42 Gracias HH, CiC. Ah just down now. will try later. Actually have to sign off for a while anyway!
	♥ 9:48am chresti: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @9:44 Right!
	♥ 9:49am Charles in Chicago: ↳ TDK60 @9:48 l8r teeds
	♥ 9:50am Franco Twinkie: ↳ Phillippe @9:46 The phone pole in front of our house was a meeting hall for wood peckers when we first moved here. The phone company eventualy replaced it, because it had become structualy unsound. Too many holes!
	9:51am Dan near StL: Nowtheyknowhowmanyholesittakestofillthepole
	♥ 9:52am tom tom the pipers son: ↳ Dan near StL @9:47 i've related this story in the past ...but as kids while waiting for schoolbus, some of the older kids like 10yrs old had a praying mantis and captured crickets and fed the mantis the crickets. we watched the mantis pull apart the cricket gracefully limb by limb, but the whole spectacle wasn't sadistic, we were learning some sort of lesson
	♥ 9:52am chresti: I see a praying mantis on the grate of the window at work once in awhile..
	9:53am still b/p: Nahawa Doumbia: "A lot of women sing love songs, but I'm a fighter. I fight for children's education and for marriage--particularly for monogamy. Good relationships are very important. You have to work in order to succeed."
	♥ 9:53am Charles in Chicago: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @9:52 when I was a kid we all thought we'd go to jail if we messed with a mantis
	♥ 9:53am Phillippe: ↳ Franco Twinkie @9:50 jeez, that's a lot of pecking! You probably still have a bunch of creosote-addicted woodpeckers wandering around the neighborhood looking for a new fix
	9:54am Dan near StL: If you’ve ever witnessed a hatching of the 1000’s of manti, you’d never forget it.
	♥ 9:54am tom tom the pipers son: ↳ Charles in Chicago @9:53 yes that was a folkway
	♥ 9:54am Franco Twinkie: ↳ Phillippe @9:53 Ha! Most likely.
	♥ 9:54am Gregosaurus: Well, the apocalyptic rain has arrived in Englewood.
	♥ 9:54am chresti: ↳ chresti @9:52 Meanwhile there are baby birds in the nest above with their beaks wide open..
	9:54am Dan near StL: Cousins of crickets, roaches.
	♥ 9:54am Thin Slice: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @9:31 I've seen an increase of them in our yard over the last few summers, including some egg sacs in our bushes. Here's a picture I took of one wfmu.org...
	♥ 9:55am Charles in Chicago: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @9:54 apparently they have never been under legal protection in the USA
	♥ 9:55am tom tom the pipers son: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @9:54 but a good one if it taught respect
	♥ 9:55am Charles in Chicago: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @9:55 agreed!
	9:55am Dan near StL: Their camo is flawless
	♥ 9:55am Charles in Chicago: ↳ Thin Slice @9:54 Excellent shot, Thin Slice!
	♥ 9:56am Franco Twinkie: ↳ Thin Slice @9:54 That is beautiful AND scary!
	♥ 9:56am tom tom the pipers son: ↳ Thin Slice @9:54 amazing image... are you in ny metro area
	♥ 9:56am Trouble: @ still b/p: sounds weird to hear her advocate for monogamy but in most of africa polygamy is legal and of course women don't fare well in that system. worldpopulationreview.com...
	9:57am Dan near StL: Mantis, cicada match up? No contest
	♥ 9:57am Chris in Kensington Bklyn: Our sensitive little Bombay kitty does NOT like thunderstorms. She's all in tizzy right now, trying to reassure her...
	♥ 9:57am Thin Slice: Thankee! Yeah. Another Fanwoodian in NJ
	♥ 9:57am Phillippe: ↳ Thin Slice @9:54 damn, that's a great shot! I'm just getting more into wildlife photography. What lens did you use?
	9:57am LiXiviated Life: hello all
	♥ 9:58am Franco Twinkie: ↳ Thin Slice @9:54 Comment board superstar!
	9:59am Dan near StL: That color is wild! Never seen any other than green, tinge of brown.
	10:00am Madison: First time listening to Modern World. Spectacular show! Thank you!
	♥ 10:00am Thin Slice: ↳ Phillippe @9:57 I'm not enough of a photographer to remember. I'd have to go back and find the metadata. It was with a micro four thirds camera on a macro setting, though
	♥ 10:00am tom tom the pipers son: scott williams used to have a shot of an attacking mantis as his avatar.... don't know how he got it
	10:00am Dan near StL: Bad rap for what they do after…
	♥ 10:01am Chris in Kensington Bklyn: ↳ Trouble @9:56 I'm reading the Color Purple right now, the last chapter was all about this.
	10:01am Dan near StL: Wonderful book, Beloved as well.
	♥ 10:01am Handy Haversack: ↳ Chris in Kensington Bklyn @9:57 Radio is snoring through his first thunderstorm.
	10:02am Dan near StL: Turning this one up T.
	♥ 10:03am gauche knee: ↳ Handy Haversack @9:20 What a dream! A friend of mine also practices. He credits the process of Prostrations, it’s accompanying personal excavation & good acts as crucial for changing his mindset & helping him not re-enter the carceral system.
	♥ 10:03am Phillippe: ↳ Thin Slice @10:00 Ah, thanks! I'm just now progressing from a point and shoot, just wondering what people use to get depth of field, stuff like that.
	♥ 10:03am Handy Haversack: ↳ Handy Haversack @10:01 OK, that one woke him up. Now he's looking out the window.
	♥ 10:04am HyperDose: ↳ Martin Van Nostrand @9:42 "I would speak [through music], and the world would listen. That’s what they told me" the Saturnians were right!
	♥ 10:04am Zinn The Mood: ↳ Trouble @9:56 We’re friends with a fairly well-known Malian singer whose European husband has complained lightheartedly to me that with the success she’s had she feels responsible to oblige any request for money or things from anyone in her very large extended family. She’s monogamous, though from a polygamous family.
	♥ 10:04am Charles in Chicago: ↳ Phillippe @10:03 OLYMPUS M.14-42mm F3.5-5.6 EZ (its in the file if you know how to look)
	♥ 10:05am Handy Haversack: For those who search, DuckDuckGo is back up.
	♥ 10:05am Charles in Chicago: 1/80s exposure at f/5.6
	10:05am still b/p: ↳ Handy Haversack @10:03 "Call DogDoorDash and get me a Thunder Shirt here PDQ!"
	♥ 10:06am Phillippe: ↳ Handy Haversack @10:01 oh man, snoring from others kicks of my misophonia in a big way. I'd seriously have to explore trading that pup in.
	♥ 10:06am Phillippe: ↳ Charles in Chicago @10:04 ah, thanks! I will have to learn how to find that!
	♥ 10:06am tom tom the pipers son: ↳ Zinn The Mood @10:04 ny times has had a couple of stories about non mormon polygamy pretty recently
	♥ 10:06am Chris in Kensington Bklyn: ↳ Handy Haversack @10:03 Aw, Radio!
	♥ 10:07am Charles in Chicago: ↳ Phillippe @10:06 the keyword is "exif"
	♥ 10:07am Phillippe: ↳ Charles in Chicago @10:07 thanks!
	♥ 10:08am RevErie: for bird lovers: www.instagram.com...
	♥ 10:08am Thin Slice: ↳ Charles in Chicago @10:04 Thanks, Charles. That information is right. I just found it in my photo roll. It's the lens that came with the camera. Pretty basic zoom lens.
	10:09am Zydeco Phil: Saw Nahawa Doumbia live in Mali 2010! Incredible
	♥ 10:09am Charles in Chicago: I saw guitarist Shane Parish recently and he somehow played Alice Coltrane's "Journey in Satchidananda" on acoustic guitar (no looper). It was dazzling.
	♥ 10:09am HyperDose: aggressive monogamy or bust

	♥ 10:13am Planet Ø Tyler: Women now attend college and earn more (all together) than men. This is what the GOP wants to stop - women's independence and their growing ability to not have to put up with men's shit

He opened for the Bill Orcutt Guitar Quartet (of which he's a member) but he kind of blew away the headliner IMO

When our lab had cancer and was on his way to the great tennis ball in the sky, he started snoring and I had to sleep in another room. Otherwise I'd lie there absolutely raging internally over something that was no one's fault.
	10:18am GiB: Project 2025 is brazenly authoritarian crap. It's a literal christofascist wishlist of all the horrible ways a loud minority would punish difference, because variety is a sin in their eyes for some reason?To quote Baby Herman, "The whole thing stinks like yesterday's diapers"

	♥ 10:24am Ken From Hyde Park: ↳ Franco Twinkie @9:50 I saw a picture on the internet where the utility people replaced a pole with holes. The nice part was that they attached part of the old one up there so the birds could still use what they had started working on.

	10:27am Random Control: this piece. wow! so groovy
	10:27am Christy D: Marc Ribot = Supremo!!
	♥ 10:29am Zinn The Mood: ↳ Acid Cazh @9:18 Nice, comrade! Those dreams fill my days… Was wondering just this morning about the “school week,” which is really an extension of the work week. Was late getting the kids to school when they told me that now, anyone arriving before 8:20 would not be marked late (which is 5 or 10 minutes later than previously). This led to a larger conversation, the kind I love to have with the little ones. I reminded them that when the public, or in this case school parents, no longer can abide by what is felt to be an unnecessary or unjust rule or law it’s actions like these (i. e. simply arriving later, more and more people, consistently) that actually lead to the changes we desire. It’s another tactic, like non-compliance, strikes, work stoppages or slowdowns, refusal to pay, etc. Have spoken to my partner about taking the kids out of school every few weeks or a month simply for mental health days; out of the classroom and into the woods, or to the art gallery, to hear some music, or simply to stay at home to hone their individual and collective imaginations and creativity. The same can be done about the 5 day work week. We’ve allowed our lives to be so ground down by the ever churning and merciless grinder of capitalism. That we can’t even process the millions of ways in which we’ve become serfs in a feudal system, of course with all the apps, gadgets, entertainment and fear mongering corporate media to keep us distracted from what we all feel and know on a deeper level.

	♥ 10:51am TDK60: ↳ Handy Haversack @10:49 Yeah.
	♥ 10:52am Zinn The Mood: ↳ Charles in Chicago @10:33 That’s exactly the point! And those histories, of which sadly not enough of us know, are the stories of courageous and committed people uniting in collective solidarity to improve their conditions. The huge problem is that individualism has been equated with Americanism and we’ve been brainwave out of thinking in the ways that would have so naturally came to our grandparents and great grandparents, who were probably more likely to discuss openly the issues of the day at the dinner table and with their neighbors. But yeah, these stories are either not a significant part of the school curriculum or not told in a way that really reflects the true heroism of those who made things like the 40 hour work week possible. It’s waaaay past time for some broad and fundamental change in this country and the world. As always it’ll be us, we the people, the 99%, that will make it happen or not. The time is so ripe for serious pushback. Today it’s those brave students at the universities, I think, have really opened the door to start connecting it all: the school “portfolios” and investments in war, the obscene tuition while management makes bank, our reliance on unsustainable food and power systems, imperialism, etc etc. As Freddie Doug said about power, it concedes nothing without a fight. Get yer gloves on folks; we’ll need every last one of ya!

	♥ 11:04am Zinn The Mood: ↳ Handy Haversack @10:34 I feel like we may be closer than in a long time toward a majority of people finally realizing that great Ursula Le Guin quote about capitalism (which incidentally is on a magnet on our refrigerator, a gift from PM Press!) That the whole impenetrable behemoth, the deity we’ve been conditioned to think of about the free market, progress, capitalism is crumbling to reveal a ramshackle clearinghouse for the wealthy to pickpocket us in thousands of ways, leaving us in dangerous precarity and isolated from one another. Sort of like lifting the curtain to reveal the all-powerful/knowing Wizard of Oz is just another shmuck keeping us enthralled to a bogus system.

	♥ 11:12am Phillippe: ↳ still b/p @10:30 There was a dude across the way that had a pair of osprey that kept trying to build a nest on top of his boat cover. He'd go out every couple days and clear it off and they would come back and start all over again. He finally put in one of those nesting platforms about 20 feet from his pier and the osprey totally cleared out from his shoreline and pier for the rest of the season and the next year as well. He got rid of the boat over the winter and now the osprey are using the platform. weird.

One of them started reciting Sun Ra lyrics, translated. Nice, odd bunch of people. They invited us to their last gig of the season, which was just amazing. The band was Astro Can Caravan, a group deeply inspired by the Arkestra in their way of living and playing and being part of greater forces.

First heard it from a writer I really dig Greg Tate, who sadly passed during the pandemic. Incidentally was recently in a really cool black-owned bookstore in Philly and picked up a book named “Everything Man: The form and function of Paul Robeson.” Sort of ties together his incredible life with an Afrofuturist interpretation.

	♥ 9:10am Handy Haversack: ↳ Trouble @9:04 A caller from Montana wanted Clay to pass along a hug -- he had taken a class with you once.

	♥ 9:17am tom tom the pipers son: ↳ Franco Twinkie @9:15 i think i told you once before so this might sound familar.,..someone other than jeff magnun from neutral milk hotel in a place next to echo lake
	♥ 9:17am Dan S: I mean the bird sounds, of course.
	9:17am Dan near StL: Eno!
	♥ 9:18am tom tom the pipers son: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @9:17 mangum
	♥ 9:18am Acid Cazh: Good morning Trouble & The Troubled, today I want to disassemble capitalism and the Work Industrial Complex, allowing the spirit of humanity to crawl from the withered cocoon of the forty-hour-week, stretch and dry its colorful wings and float aloft and free forever.
	♥ 9:18am Webhamster Henry: Hi Birdlisteners! I hears some nice variety yesterday biking near the Hudson River on the Sojourner Truth Park trail . Don't forget to check out former WFMU Drummer Stream DJ Mayuko's WGXC program Beakuency. wavefarm.org...
	♥ 9:18am ∫ydniuß: ↳ Dan near StL @9:16 ooh those are nice
	♥ 9:18am gauche knee: ↳ Song: "Like Dust that Covers the Mirror" by "anton batagov" New to this & love album name! “Prostrations to the Thirty-Five Confession Buddhas is one of the most powerful methods available to purify harmful actions we have done in the past. By doing this practice mindfully, we can prevent unwanted sufferings from occurring in the future” 🕊️
	9:19am unpopularfred: Lovely start this morning. The birds outside the window are joining in.
	9:19am Dan near StL: Acid, good luck with that. Kids now spend the summer pacing back and forth staring down at phone.
	♥ 9:19am Webhamster Henry: ↳ Acid Cazh @9:18 "Workists" are a plague on the Earth. Workless of the world, unite!
	♥ 9:20am Dan S: ↳ Acid Cazh @9:18 And what will you do after lunch?
	♥ 9:20am Handy Haversack: ↳ gauche knee @9:18 A guy I knew when I was in grad school did 100,000 prostrations on a loooong retreat in I want to say Tibet? Maybe it was India with Tibetans, though.
	♥ 9:20am Acid Cazh: ↳ Dan S @9:20 Have a glass of rosé by the pool.
	♥ 9:21am Dan S: ↳ Acid Cazh @9:20 Good plan.
	9:21am Dan near StL: Eno for President.

	♥ 9:22am Irene Trudel: Lovely start to my day, Trouble! The birds are being enhanced by the birds outside my car window, as I wait for alternate side parking to end.
	♥ 9:22am newton: I have to go do some work. At least it is my own work, no one is making anything off my labor
	♥ 9:22am Franco Twinkie: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @9:17 Oh, okay. Either The Echo or The Echoplex. One is upstairs on Sunset Blvd. the other one is downstairs with street access. Neutral Milk Hotel person - good choice.
	9:22am Dan near StL: Flavor Budd Living
	♥ 9:23am Crosby in KC: ↳ Dan near StL @9:21 I have a feeling he would pass on that
	9:23am Dan near StL: You’re probably right
	♥ 9:24am Acid Cazh: ↳ Song: "Like Dust that Covers the Mirror" by "anton batagov" Trying to find this album anywhere, it apparently was only released on CD and there are no copies for sale on Discogs, no one has even put up a low-res version on YouTube or anything. Makes me want it even more.
	♥ 9:25am Handy Haversack: ↳ Irene Trudel @9:22 On Sunday as my friends were showing up here for games out in the back, I hit the "listen" button on the intercom and could hear the sparrows in the back yard as well as the ones out front, coming through the speaker, and there was a moment there where I was at risk of just standing like that for quite some time!
	♥ 9:26am Trouble: @ acid: it's on bandcamp
	9:26am Dan near StL: “Open the door…let ‘em in.”
	♥ 9:26am Karl: This year's sparrows have claimed the birdhouse outside our front window, and it looks like they're expecting. The robins and mourning doves are everywhere. Occasional cardinals, crows, Cooper's hawks, osprey. Haven't seen the warblers yet.
	♥ 9:27am HyperDose: ↳ Franco Twinkie @9:12 Chill place, chill people, never a rush to do anything. The boy's alright, Franco
	9:27am Dan near StL: I love the tufted titmouse haircut.
	♥ 9:27am Karl: We have eight honeysuckle plants in our yard now, so I'm hoping to see some hummingbirds this year.
	♥ 9:27am Acid Cazh: ↳ Trouble @9:26 ORLY?!?
	♥ 9:28am Franco Twinkie: ↳ HyperDose @9:27 Coolio!
	♥ 9:28am tom tom the pipers son: ↳ Franco Twinkie @9:22 my ex and i met this native angelino at the dan graham opening who was really nice, except he seemed a bit bullied by his girlfriendm, we went over his place which was tiny and in this little mews with other units, faux olde spanish style, we alaso went to the bakery where his g.f. worked in eagle rock on some busy road...dug eagle rock vibe tho' not sur if i'd live there
	9:28am Dan near StL: Many, many hummingbirds and praying mantis here.
	♥ 9:28am Karl: Oh, and starlings, loads of them. On the slipstream.
	♥ 9:28am Acid Cazh: ↳ Trouble @9:26 No search results for Anton Batagov ☹️
	♥ 9:29am tom tom the pipers son: ↳ HyperDose @9:27 sounds ideal...congrats...!
	♥ 9:29am Charles in Chicago: ↳ Song: "cross bay" by "meg baird" ah Meg Baird, perfect
	♥ 9:29am Phillippe: good morning
	♥ 9:29am Handy Haversack: ↳ Karl @9:26 Lots of hangry baby sparrows out back! Robins and doves aplenty. A grackle has been hanging around, too! There was a baby starling on the patio next door the other day that could have made a WFMU hit!
	♥ 9:29am northguineahills: ↳ Song: "cross bay" by "meg baird" nice, meg!
	♥ 9:30am Acid Cazh: ↳ Trouble @9:26 Also no bandcamp results for "Music for the 35 Buddhas" anywhere
	♥ 9:30am Charles in Chicago: ↳ Acid Cazh @9:24 I see one copy on Discogs for $40 www.discogs.com...
	♥ 9:31am tom tom the pipers son: ↳ Dan near StL @9:28 where are the praying mantis' seems we don't get them in NE anymore
	♥ 9:31am Chris in Kensington Bklyn: ↳ Handy Haversack @9:29 The neighbor chickens are out on our block, doin' their thang.
	♥ 9:32am Charles in Chicago: ↳ Song: "cross bay" by "meg baird" I like this record but the lyrics are really hard to make out, even for Meg Baird
	♥ 9:32am Franco Twinkie: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @9:28 He lived in a bungalow court. They're all over the older parts of L.A. I lived in one in Pasadena for almost twenty eight years. As I said to a friend once - it's like been in an aquarium full of really interesting fish.
	♥ 9:32am Acid Cazh: ↳ Charles in Chicago @9:30 I followed the link you posted and it tells me "No items available in the Marketplace"
	♥ 9:33am tom tom the pipers son: ↳ Franco Twinkie @9:32 ha! i can see that ...a micro community
	♥ 9:33am melinda: Morning Trouble and friends!
	♥ 9:34am Charles in Chicago: ↳ Acid Cazh @9:32 Weird. I see a link that says "1 copy for sale" but when I click it nothing is there. A chimera.
	♥ 9:35am TDK60: Is anyone good with computers, internet? I can't open other beside WFMU. At least it opens.
	♥ 9:35am Charles in Chicago: Here it is on Batagov's site but it doesn't seem to be for sale www.batagov.com...
	9:35am SheWolf: The weather has arrived here so you should get it soon. It's just a good old fashioned thunderstorm.
	♥ 9:35am Charles in Chicago: ↳ TDK60 @9:35 I work with computers. But I don't see what your problem is!
	♥ 9:36am TDK60: ↳ TDK60 @9:35 ..other sites. I already restarted computer
	♥ 9:36am Phillippe: ↳ Karl @9:28 the winter birds have cleared out here and the aquatics are showing up. Blue herons, green herons, great and garden variety egrets, cormorants, osprey, the occasional eagle, fish crows, red wing blackbirds, mallards
	9:36am Chief Guy: Wait it’s Thursday already. I was actually expecting Matt Warwicks voice!
	♥ 9:36am Charles in Chicago: ↳ Charles in Chicago @9:35 tdk: do you get some kind of error message, or just a spinner, or what?
	♥ 9:36am Karl: ↳ Charles in Chicago @9:35 The problem is coming from inside the computers. Also, the computers are in everything. So... the problem is everywhere.
	♥ 9:36am melinda: ↳ Franco Twinkie @9:32 I've always been fascinated by those.
	♥ 9:36am Franco Twinkie: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @9:33 Good and bad. I had a tenancy to look no further than the walkway in front of my place for, um, company?
	♥ 9:36am Acid Cazh: ↳ Charles in Chicago @9:34 Illusory and impossible to grasp, like all phenomena that cross the threshold of consciousness, according to the Buddha.
	9:37am Colin: “I’m here no matter what.” You said that with such confidence and strength. Love ya trouble, you’re an inspiration to us all.
	♥ 9:37am HyperDose: ↳ TDK60 @9:36 That should fix it. Fresh cache
	9:37am Dan near StL: Tttps, one hour East of StL. Just amazing, they let you pet them.
	♥ 9:37am TDK60: ↳ Charles in Chicago @9:35 Morning Charles. Hee! No problem having WFMU open, yes! When I try to search for other sites, I just get a blank window.
	♥ 9:38am tom tom the pipers son: cool breeze coming in window ahead of "stormcloud'24... the winding and wetting"
	♥ 9:38am Franco Twinkie: ↳ melinda @9:36 I know you've turned over a few rocks in L.A.
	♥ 9:38am Karl: ↳ Phillippe @9:36 A great blue heron was spotted here the other day, and correctly identified by my family.
	♥ 9:38am Gregosaurus: The dust always wins.
	♥ 9:38am tom tom the pipers son: ↳ Dan near StL @9:37 shakes head* they're amazing creatures
	♥ 9:39am Charles in Chicago: ↳ TDK60 @9:37 Truly bizarre. What OS, browser, etc?
	♥ 9:40am tom tom the pipers son: ↳ Franco Twinkie @9:36 ah right...maybe not "familiarity breeding contempt" but something like that...
	♥ 9:41am TDK60: ↳ Charles in Chicago @9:39 Chi-town Charles: It's Windows in Lenovo desktop. Bing search.
	9:41am Dan near StL: Hummingbirds can be preyed upon by praying mantis. Nytimes ran a horrific image.
	♥ 9:42am TDK60: ↳ TDK60 @9:41 Bing is Microsoft right? (not a computer guy)
	♥ 9:42am Handy Haversack: ↳ TDK60 @9:41 Bing's API is down, and so Bing, DuckDuckGo, ChatGPT search, and some others are as well. If you need search in the meantime, try: search.disroot.org...
	9:42am Tara: mornin! 🐦🐦🐦 a month or two ago i swear i saw a post for marshall allen birthday arkestra show that would be happening and you could buy a ticket to livestream it. but then i lost it (the link, the memory..) anyone know about it?
	♥ 9:42am Martin Van Nostrand: Good Morning...should anyone be interested, my blog post from yesterday celebrating the life of Sun Ra. It's a truncated appraisal. It would be a blog unto itself to tell his entire story. But here it is, with a playlist as well: somethingishappeningdotblog.com...
	♥ 9:43am tom tom the pipers son: ↳ Dan near StL @9:41 oh....why can't we all just get along.... i think times into that sort of darwinianism
	♥ 9:43am chresti: Yesterday I watched a red-headed woodpecker pecking at the holes in the metal post of the staff parking sign.
	♥ 9:43am Phillippe: ↳ Karl @9:38 they are lovely, graceful birds with the worst call ever for sure. We live on a little cove and there's a small point that juts out where the herons and egrets rotate through, I guess because the fishing is good. Kinda cool because in the spring and summer, I'd say something is hanging out there about 25% of the time.
	9:43am Dan near StL: I need a must own Sun Ra list.
	♥ 9:43am Franco Twinkie: When I saw SunRa, Marshall Allen flew over the audience on a wire like Tinkerbell in a spacesuit. That's in the past, but at lease he did it.
	♥ 9:43am Charles in Chicago: ↳ Handy Haversack @9:42 TDK - so it's just search that's not working? you should be able to go to websites directly if you type in www.whatever.com
	9:44am still b/p: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @9:31 Last praying mantis I saw was a couple summers ago in an unlikely moment and spot -- perched very close to me on the very top of a ladder's side rail while I was up on the ladder. Came to help, I guess. If not with hands-on labor, then at least with prayer.
	♥ 9:44am tom tom the pipers son: ↳ chresti @9:43 woodpecker 2.0
	♥ 9:44am Charles in Chicago: just use a different search engine, like google or the one handy suggested
	♥ 9:44am Handy Haversack: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @9:44 Metal is the new wood!
	♥ 9:45am jmr3: ↳ chresti @9:43 Used to have one in my neighborhood that would hammer on the metal streetlight - sometimes they just to that to tell the world "I am here!"
	♥ 9:45am tom tom the pipers son: ↳ still b/p @9:44 ha! nice....
	♥ 9:45am D Rok: ↳ Song: "beautiful is black" by "brandee younger" Good morning Trouble, all. Just getting our first thunderstorm of the year here in Brooklyn, and this is the perfect soundtrack.
	♥ 9:45am Zinn The Mood: Hey folks. Sitting on a park bench under a canopy of trees as the deep grey sky begins to release its bloated contents. Is that distant thunder, or the construction on the waterfront where machines are bulking up the shoreline? Reading “We Are Cuba,” by Helen Jaffe. An amazing, stirring account of how they not only, time after time, endured brutal American sanctions (which are really amount to an act of war) but thrived. Dynamic collective spirit and engagement at every level. Highly recommended to push back against the horrendous propaganda here. Listened a lot to the WKCR Sun Ra birthday broadcast yesterday. Didn’t realize how diverse he was. Great stuff! Just got really dark here, and the rain is staring to come down…headed inside. Massive lightning now!
	♥ 9:46am Phillippe: ↳ chresti @9:43 ha, yes, it's that time of year. Guy across the street had one banging on his aluminum downspouts. I read that when they are doing that loud pecking they are trying to attract a mate.
	♥ 9:46am Handy Haversack: ↳ still b/p @9:44 I'm glad you made it down. They aren't there to pray but to prey! Preying mantises have no time for gods!
	♥ 9:46am tom tom the pipers son: ↳ Handy Haversack @9:44 i guess don't tell that to MLB...is that coming...?
	9:47am Dan near StL: Liter soda bottle, empty, with tiny amount of beverage in bottom. Flies go in. Praying mantis hovers at opening, catches each fly as it emerges. Discovered by accident.
	♥ 9:48am TDK60: ↳ Handy Haversack @9:42 Gracias HH, CiC. Ah just down now. will try later. Actually have to sign off for a while anyway!
	♥ 9:48am chresti: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @9:44 Right!
	♥ 9:49am Charles in Chicago: ↳ TDK60 @9:48 l8r teeds
	♥ 9:50am Franco Twinkie: ↳ Phillippe @9:46 The phone pole in front of our house was a meeting hall for wood peckers when we first moved here. The phone company eventualy replaced it, because it had become structualy unsound. Too many holes!
	9:51am Dan near StL: Nowtheyknowhowmanyholesittakestofillthepole
	♥ 9:52am tom tom the pipers son: ↳ Dan near StL @9:47 i've related this story in the past ...but as kids while waiting for schoolbus, some of the older kids like 10yrs old had a praying mantis and captured crickets and fed the mantis the crickets. we watched the mantis pull apart the cricket gracefully limb by limb, but the whole spectacle wasn't sadistic, we were learning some sort of lesson
	♥ 9:52am chresti: I see a praying mantis on the grate of the window at work once in awhile..
	9:53am still b/p: Nahawa Doumbia: "A lot of women sing love songs, but I'm a fighter. I fight for children's education and for marriage--particularly for monogamy. Good relationships are very important. You have to work in order to succeed."
	♥ 9:53am Charles in Chicago: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @9:52 when I was a kid we all thought we'd go to jail if we messed with a mantis
	♥ 9:53am Phillippe: ↳ Franco Twinkie @9:50 jeez, that's a lot of pecking! You probably still have a bunch of creosote-addicted woodpeckers wandering around the neighborhood looking for a new fix
	9:54am Dan near StL: If you’ve ever witnessed a hatching of the 1000’s of manti, you’d never forget it.
	♥ 9:54am tom tom the pipers son: ↳ Charles in Chicago @9:53 yes that was a folkway
	♥ 9:54am Franco Twinkie: ↳ Phillippe @9:53 Ha! Most likely.
	♥ 9:54am Gregosaurus: Well, the apocalyptic rain has arrived in Englewood.
	♥ 9:54am chresti: ↳ chresti @9:52 Meanwhile there are baby birds in the nest above with their beaks wide open..
	9:54am Dan near StL: Cousins of crickets, roaches.
	♥ 9:54am Thin Slice: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @9:31 I've seen an increase of them in our yard over the last few summers, including some egg sacs in our bushes. Here's a picture I took of one wfmu.org...
	♥ 9:55am Charles in Chicago: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @9:54 apparently they have never been under legal protection in the USA
	♥ 9:55am tom tom the pipers son: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @9:54 but a good one if it taught respect
	♥ 9:55am Charles in Chicago: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @9:55 agreed!
	9:55am Dan near StL: Their camo is flawless
	♥ 9:55am Charles in Chicago: ↳ Thin Slice @9:54 Excellent shot, Thin Slice!
	♥ 9:56am Franco Twinkie: ↳ Thin Slice @9:54 That is beautiful AND scary!
	♥ 9:56am tom tom the pipers son: ↳ Thin Slice @9:54 amazing image... are you in ny metro area
	♥ 9:56am Trouble: @ still b/p: sounds weird to hear her advocate for monogamy but in most of africa polygamy is legal and of course women don't fare well in that system. worldpopulationreview.com...
	9:57am Dan near StL: Mantis, cicada match up? No contest
	♥ 9:57am Chris in Kensington Bklyn: Our sensitive little Bombay kitty does NOT like thunderstorms. She's all in tizzy right now, trying to reassure her...
	♥ 9:57am Thin Slice: Thankee! Yeah. Another Fanwoodian in NJ
	♥ 9:57am Phillippe: ↳ Thin Slice @9:54 damn, that's a great shot! I'm just getting more into wildlife photography. What lens did you use?
	9:57am LiXiviated Life: hello all
	♥ 9:58am Franco Twinkie: ↳ Thin Slice @9:54 Comment board superstar!
	9:59am Dan near StL: That color is wild! Never seen any other than green, tinge of brown.
	10:00am Madison: First time listening to Modern World. Spectacular show! Thank you!

	♥ 10:29am Zinn The Mood: ↳ Acid Cazh @9:18 Nice, comrade! Those dreams fill my days… Was wondering just this morning about the “school week,” which is really an extension of the work week. Was late getting the kids to school when they told me that now, anyone arriving before 8:20 would not be marked late (which is 5 or 10 minutes later than previously). This led to a larger conversation, the kind I love to have with the little ones. I reminded them that when the public, or in this case school parents, no longer can abide by what is felt to be an unnecessary or unjust rule or law it’s actions like these (i. e. simply arriving later, more and more people, consistently) that actually lead to the changes we desire. It’s another tactic, like non-compliance, strikes, work stoppages or slowdowns, refusal to pay, etc. Have spoken to my partner about taking the kids out of school every few weeks or a month simply for mental health days; out of the classroom and into the woods, or to the art gallery, to hear some music, or simply to stay at home to hone their individual and collective imaginations and creativity. The same can be done about the 5 day work week. We’ve allowed our lives to be so ground down by the ever churning and merciless grinder of capitalism. That we can’t even process the millions of ways in which we’ve become serfs in a feudal system, of course with all the apps, gadgets, entertainment and fear mongering corporate media to keep us distracted from what we all feel and know on a deeper level.

	♥ 10:52am Zinn The Mood: ↳ Charles in Chicago @10:33 That’s exactly the point! And those histories, of which sadly not enough of us know, are the stories of courageous and committed people uniting in collective solidarity to improve their conditions. The huge problem is that individualism has been equated with Americanism and we’ve been brainwave out of thinking in the ways that would have so naturally came to our grandparents and great grandparents, who were probably more likely to discuss openly the issues of the day at the dinner table and with their neighbors. But yeah, these stories are either not a significant part of the school curriculum or not told in a way that really reflects the true heroism of those who made things like the 40 hour work week possible. It’s waaaay past time for some broad and fundamental change in this country and the world. As always it’ll be us, we the people, the 99%, that will make it happen or not. The time is so ripe for serious pushback. Today it’s those brave students at the universities, I think, have really opened the door to start connecting it all: the school “portfolios” and investments in war, the obscene tuition while management makes bank, our reliance on unsustainable food and power systems, imperialism, etc etc. As Freddie Doug said about power, it concedes nothing without a fight. Get yer gloves on folks; we’ll need every last one of ya!

That the whole impenetrable behemoth, the deity we’ve been conditioned to think of about the free market, progress, capitalism is crumbling to reveal a ramshackle clearinghouse for the wealthy to pickpocket us in thousands of ways, leaving us in dangerous precarity and isolated from one another. Sort of like lifting the curtain to reveal the all-powerful/knowing Wizard of Oz is just another shmuck keeping us enthralled to a bogus system.

He'd go out every couple days and clear it off and they would come back and start all over again. He finally put in one of those nesting platforms about 20 feet from his pier and the osprey totally cleared out from his shoreline and pier for the rest of the season and the next year as well. He got rid of the boat over the winter and now the osprey are using the platform. weird.
