Snow's coming.
I'm in the middle of reading The Sleepwalkers - How Europe Went to War 1914, by Christopher Clark. The history podcast called "The Rest Is History" hosted by historians Tom Holland and Dominic Sandbrook, highly recommend it, although they disagree with the title. My American high school history class ended with the beginning of WWI, so this is all new to me. I find it utterly fascinating. WWI was entirely preventable, and the result was the most violent and deadly century we have ever known which resulted in WW II, Hitler, Stalin, Mao, and millions and millions of unnecessary deaths. What an unnecessary tragedy. It almost makes you want to cry.

#13 Jennifer Trynin - "Better Than Nothing" - Cockamamie - 1994
This is another one that showed up as a gift of the algorithm. I listened to a lot of '90s rock and alt-rock this year, and Amazon decided that I needed to hear this song.
There were two versions on YouTube of the official video for this song, and although the picture here is of poor quality (especially the round ending), this is still the better of the two. I debated just putting up the audio but watching this may make you nostalgic for the simpler days of the mid-1990s, so here you go.

Americans voted for government by tantrum, and they’re getting it early.

Once again, the absolutely stupidest possible way to run the most important economy on the planet. I must admit I got it wrong -- I didn't think the mayhem would start until next year but we've got it now for some pre Christmas excitement.
We've got 4 years of this, it's going to be so so much fun to watch in a schadenfreude kind of way.

How often do you have to wipe the spittle off your monitor in order to see what you're typing?

What power does Trump (or Musk, for that matter) have here? It's not like they currently hold office, right? Isn't J. Biden (D) the current president? What's he doing about this? Does it matter? Is that too many questions in a row?
BTW the market was due for a correction.
Clyde, love your music posts. Thank you.
