music collection I found worthy

Bluegrass covers that gave me goose bumps:

My two other songs I love is:

I'm Ready

There's an amazing Star Trek: Strange New Worlds episode 9, season 2, called "Subspace Rhapsody"

She has gotten into the Vulcan science academy, and she's leaving the ship and that means Spock is losing a girlfriend, and he sings a pretty cool song, "I'm the ex".

But what I like about it is that I was working hard to understand upeksha meditation, equanimity, and I came across the idea that it's being ready, so to me the song has a different meaning than the show, it's about a meditative culmination of the brahma-viharas.

Corn Pudding from Schmigadoon

I put this one on for Ruby, and she pretends to be annoyed but she likes it when serious daddy gets silly with this song.

Bonus: Sweet Jane by Cowboy Junkies 5/4/89. Margo Timmins is amazing.

Wonder by Natalie Merchant.

Manet and Degas

Brilliant video explaining the exhibit. Go to the Met and see the exhibit! It's really quite special.

AOC

Dark Brandon meet Dark Alex. I see her advising the republicans to stick to their guns and never compromise. They don’t want to do anything, only obstruct. So they don’t actually need to be unified. Chaos isn’t organized. This is fine. Read all about it from Heather Cox Richardson , a historian who covers current events. "As their policies threatened to lose voters by concentrating wealth upward and hollowing out the middle class, Republicans increasingly warned that minority voters wanted socialism and were destroying the nation to get it. Trump rode that narrative to power, and now tearing down the current government is the idea that drives the Republican base." While we're at it, here's another funny photo from the Onion: And then: I listened to the Times podcast about George Santos . He basically lied about, I don't know, 80% of his resume, and has a mysterious $700k in his "corporation" which has no clients. So he's a Russian or Chinese plant, o...
