Somewhere. please. Let’s have a party already. So much cool stuff is happening! (But we’re not supposed to talk about it…)
Anyway.
I will just quickly post again that I am doing my very best to NOT TOUCH this current psyop. It seems exceedingly apparent that they want to push the chaos as far as they possibly can. The world over.
Hence, Phil’s really strange and (IMO intentionally) frustrating livestream last night. (You can watch it here.)
Personally, I am relying on Mike King right now, because he is quick and to the point (i.e., his latest: Fake Bibi Denies Fake Murder of Ch*rlie K**k). And Mike King doesn’t seem to be invested in this seeming mandate to push the chaos instead (although he does indeed acknowledge it.).
But on a slightly different note — I found this next bit extremely exciting.
FakeNews7 reposted it from Derek Johnson yesterday. It is really long so I’m only copying the part I liked best (since, obviously, I have basically invested my entire career in protecting the 1st Amendment):
“…But the importance is this is an Emergency Power by the President.
Restricting Telecommunications.
Title 47: Telecommunications.
PDJT has posted twice the Appeals Court upheld the Ban on Associated Press from being at White House and MAR.
Schiff confirms this.
A confirmation is more than the confirmation of the AP.
That’s confirmation of the Wartime Order in place.
47 United States Code §606 is titled: WAR POWERS of the President.
If they’re upholding a ban in 2025… it means the ban was put into place long before.
PDJT has HAMMERED ABC, NBC, CNN, PBS, NPR, and now they’re working on MSNBC.
The only way employees can be fired via a Freedom of Speech / Press is under a WARTIME ORDER.…”

Okay. Onward.
Well, I’m a little bit frustrated because my new blue-light-blocking reader glasses already broke! The right side arm thingie snapped in two last night. And it turned out it was not easy to fix and now they are extremely uncomfortable to wear.
I’ve already ordered another pair — different company. Although I did read a lot of comments that these types of glasses, in general, break really easily.
I’m not going to get too upset about it, though. Because the main thing is that these blue-light-blocking readers have a made a HUGE difference in my eyes. And so quickly. And I’m just so glad to have them at all — even the broken ones. (And they are not expensive.)

I’ve been wanting to post about this for a few days, but kept getting overwhelmed by my actual life. (As a caregiver, that is.)
Anyway.
It is a free online book event, one-hour. It will be recorded if you can’t attend the whole thing.
It is being offered by Internet Archives. It is FREE, 1 hr. Thursday, Sept. 25 at 1PM Eastern time.
Book Talk: After Disruption: A Future For Cultural Memory
“The digital age is burning out our most precious resources and the future of the past is at stake. In After Disruption: A Future for Cultural Memory, Trevor Owens warns that our institutions of cultural memory—libraries, archives, museums, humanities departments, research institutes, and more—have been “disrupted,” and largely not for the better. He calls for memory workers and memory institutions to take back control of envisioning the future of memory from management consultants and tech sector evangelists…” (more at link below)

This photo alone made my entire evening!
An update from Wayne’s outing with his brothers yesterday:
Honestly, I cannot believe these guys are all officially in their 70s now. When Wayne and I first got married, they were all in their late 30s…

And here’s this!

Keith, in Berlin in 1973:
And second–
I kept forgetting to post this, too:
The Rolling Stones Have 13 New Songs Ready — A Mysterious Album Is “Nearly Finished” — (3 minutes)
“The Stones aren’t done yet. Insiders confirm that 13 brand-new tracks have already been recorded for their next album. Mick Jagger says they’re “three-quarters through,” while Marlon Richards insists it’s “nearly finished.” No title, no artwork, no release date — just the silence before the storm. When it drops, it won’t just be an album. It will be an event.”

And the good news on the caregiving front is that my favorite 95-year-old Japanese man’s family goes back home this morning.
So life gets back to normal today. (They’re coming back in October, but we’ll deal with that in October.)
I’m anticipating a quiet day with him today. We shall soon see.
The Agency asked me to pick up a new client on Monday, my day off, and since I need the money, I said okay. The drive there and back is on one of those really beautiful backroads here in Muskingum County, so that part will be nice, except that it’s supposed to rain on Monday. But we’ll see how it goes.

And I think that is it for now.
Enjoy your Saturday, wherever you are in the world.
Thanks for visiting.
I love you guys. See ya!

Driving to town music from yesterday!
Yes, I’m still playing the soundtrack to Pack Up the Planation LIVE 1985, by Tom Petty & the Heartbreakers.
They do a great live version of this song — written by John & Joan Sebastian, but the Everly Brothers had a hit with it in 1972.
“The Stories We Could Tell”. Live, by Tom Petty & the Heartbreakers, at the Hammersmith Odeon, London, 1985. Enjoy, gang!
“The Stories We Could Tell”
Talkin’ to myself again
Wondering if this travelin’ is good
Is there something better we’d be doing if we could
And oh the stories we could tell
And if this all blows up and goes to hell
I can still see us sittin on the bed in some motel
Listenin’ to the stories we could tell
Remember that guitar in a museum in Tennessee
And the nameplate on the glass brought back twenty melodies
And the scratches on the face
Told of all the times he fell
Singin’ every story he could tell
And oh the stories it could tell
And I bet you it still rings like a bell
And I wish we could sit back on the bed in some motel
And listen to the stories we could tell
So if you’re on the road tracking down here every night
And you’re singin’ for a livin’ ‘neath the brightly colored lights
And if you ever wonder why you ride this carousel
You did it for the stories you could tell
And oh the stories we could tell
And if this all blows up and goes to hell
I can still see us sittin on the bed in some motel
Listenin’ to the stories we could tell
I can still see us sittin on the bed in some motel
Listenin’ to the stories we could tell
c- 1972 – John and Joan Sebastian
