The Gobbler is not only back but has stolen all my women.
The Gobbler cannot be stopped.

Huggermugger
When I said that liberals were going to go full anti-hugging, anti-touch Demolition Man after the pandemic, I was not joking. It was inevitable.
These people will be lining up for the pods willingly.
No Locking
"More lockdowns are coming, but this time, we could prioritize children over bars, restaurants, working out, sports and socializing in our homes. Keep schools and daycares open — and shut almost everything else down." New @CNN.

No more fucking absurd lockdowns. Need to resist this hard.
Struck
What a cover. That shouldn’t work but it does, mainly because Sarah just kills on the vocals. Damn, that’s good. (They are syncing here their own studio performance. There is absolutely no way to get audio this clean in an environment like that. There’s no drum shield and no one is really properly miked up.)
Grab More
How many staffers did it take to curate this? And this is obviously phony, as most who love popular music are particulary taken by songs that appeared when they were 15-25 years of age. That would be 1976-1986 in your case. Not many from that period here https://t.co/65ejRB6f8R

Not everyone is stuck in the past. My top ten favorite songs would maybe only include one from when I was 15-25.
Most of my favorites would be from the past 10 years, many from the last five. Obama is worthy of much derision for his poor performance in office and his post-presidential money grab, but this is just moronic.
Not W
What Is Lens Flare, and Why Does It Make Photos Look Weird?
I think you spelled “awesome” wrong, dude.
Arijunk
Upper stage issue causes Arianespace launch failure, costing 2 satellites.
That rocket has always been a piece of junk. I see nothing has changed.
Infoxed
Profoundly accurate observation. https://t.co/tmpzIIKIAD

Not all of them, but enough of them. More than enough.
It was also AM radio and Rush Limbaugh, which of course led to Fox News. But hilarious and disheartening observation that is alas true.
Sail Fail
Sweden’s new car carrier is the world’s largest wind-powered vessel.
1) This doesn’t exist.
2) It will never exist.
Why write such a disingenuous headline? These efforts occur every few years, just as with airships, and never go anywhere. Flying cars, too.
It’d be far easier and cheaper to convert all the existing ships to electric than it would be to do this — and there is no reliability in these at all, since it’s wind-dependent.
Nothing like this will ever happen.
Play Harder
The first ten on today’s playlist:
Kaan
I did not know that Charlize Theron spoke Afrikaans. Huh. That is a cool language.
Gobblestones
The Gobbler is back.
Prunder
You call tell we’re still in the prude era because everyone covers the boring Red Hot Chili Peppers songs like “Under the Bridge” and “Californication” and no one covers the great ones like “Blood Sugar Sex Magik” or “Breaking the Girl.”
Suerte
Georgia Weber playing the stand-up bass is both really good and looks like she stepped out of a 1950s car ad. Good fucking work on the wardrobe. Nice cover.
Iconic
If you want to know how obsessed with icons I can be, I once compiled from source an application available in a package manager just because I didn’t like the icon.
It was the only way to change the icon (at that time). So it could be said I have a bit of a problem. And, similar to the cowbell conundrum, it’s a problem that only more icons can solve.
