Throwing dollar bills to bums on LA’s skid row from the top of a $50k van is not a humanitarian gesture. Dude thinks he’s feeding animals.

Yeah, the days are getting longer, but at least it’s not the end of the decade.” Bunk Strutts 29 December 2019


From The Statistical Statistics Department:

The Federal Bureaus of Prisons: says 92.9% non-whites and 7.1% whites were incarcerated as of 21 December 2019, therefore it’s a racist system. Oh wait…

The “For Every 100 Girls/Women” chart is interesting. Links to stats backing it up are here [via].

Now about the minimum wage…

Saturday Matinee – Terry Miles’ Boogie Woogie, Wrap It Up, Can’t Wrap This, The Magical Piano & Christmas Of Love

Terry Miles finds odd pubs and unusual venues with under-used pianos, then heaves bricks of boogie woogie at the heads of the unsuspecting patrons. I love it.

Wrap It Up: Bonnie Raitt, Brittany Howard, Gary Clark Jr. and Jimmie Vaughan take on the Sam & Dave soul classic. Good gawdamighty.

[h/t Christmas Carolyn R.]

The only vid better than the Magical Piano is this:

Christmas Of Love (Little Isidore & The Inquisitors) is one of my favorite holiday songs, and that video makes it all the better.

Christmas is coming, and around here the presents always show up on time, so see you back here tomorrow.

A Prediction from 1968

By the turn of the century, chances are you won’t recognize the familiar telephone. Based on services already in use or on the drawing boards, you can expect some pretty far-out developments.

For example, Picturephone see-while-you-talk service, already in limited use, might well be offered in full color and three dimensions. With it, you could do the family grocery shopping, look at the new cars, or buy a new hat without leaving the house.

Electronic switching equipment now in trial use, will call you back when a busy line you have called is free, or transfer your calls to another phone while you’re away from home.
