Random Rants

Doesn't bother me. Our son turns 7 soon and I've already explained sex, sexual attraction, conception, and why my wife and I had IVF to conceive him. Neither of us was freaked out, he asked some really interesting questions, and now when other kids in his class want to play mummies and daddies in class, he says no thanks

Less a rant than defeated sorrow for the current and future state of affairs. When discussing the merits of a dry climate here, I present a pretty major downside. My wife is in Santa Fe and I plan on taking our daughter down there to join her for Mother's Day this weekend if there isn't too much PM2.5 in the atmosphere. Fire season has barely started by historical standards, but look at this:

Seems they're so frequent, they're getting casual with the names. "Smoke Stack Lightning."

and west to California and north to Washington and as you say it's early on

The best thing you can do with the R&R HoF is pretend it doesn't exist. It's like those ridiculous Rolling Stone "greatest ______ of all time" lists. We're better than they are so their opinions are moot.
To not have Sonic Youth, Little Feat, and many others in there shows you they don't know their elbows from their assholes when it comes to the subject at hand.

@Matt having a Hip Hop hall of fame seems like a disaster waiting to happen. How many rock and rollers (and their fans) have "beef" that gets settled in the streets. Let's have NBA Youngboy or Lil' Yachty get snubbed for best mumble rap of the year.
This is stereotyping at its finest, but I'll stick my neck out for this one.
BTW, I love great hip hop and think a lot of the rhyme schemes, delivery, and beats are genius.
