Tuesday Overnight Open Thread - June 3, 2025 [scampydog]Good evening busy brains, insomniacs, overthinkers, trivia champions, armchair experts, confidently confused, and those just trying to remember which day it is. Thank you for checking in on the Tuesday, ONT. Repeat of the wise words from AoS commenter, mikeski. Scrolling? Sure. Read the content? Just an appetizer. The commenting is the main course. Quickest way to the touch of a woman? Dude has a lifelong story.
Sound up for this one.
Here is a link to a letter from Steve Albini to the band. Albini produced the last Nirvana album, In Utero. Dough. I explained this to Kurt but I thought I'd better reiterate it here. I do not want and will not take a royalty on any record I record. No points. Period. I think paying a royalty to a producer or engineer is ethically indefensible. The band write the songs. The band play the music. It's the band's fans who buy the records. The band is responsible for whether it's a great record or a horrible record. Royalties belong to the band. *** In a 1994 interview with Rolling Stone, Mike Reno, of Loverboy had this to say about Nirvana: "As I once said on MTV, Nirvana killed our career."
NPR: What's Not to Love? Well, Plenty. Let's open with what we know: NPR's tone and delivery of viewpoints are condescending. There is no riffing - it is all curated browbeating and lacks ideological diversity. Insular perspective on both simple and complex issues. Out of touch with a large swath of the population-especially rural and conservative listeners. Identity politics, Identity politics, rah, rah, rah (let's do some old school cheer down thread). NPR claims to serve all but caters to a narrow, shrinking audience. They have a credibility problem - the larger group that no longer listens to them are tired of being sidelined and beaten on - and then handed a bill. It's reductive. And arrogant. How the NPR money flows. Gotta love a link that pulls the research together. NPR may receive little direct federal funding, but a good deal of its budget comprises federal funds that flow to it indirectly by federal law. Here's how it works: Under the terms of the 1967 Public Broadcasting Act, funds are allocated annually to a non-governmental agency, the Corporation for Public Broadcasting, overseen by a board of presidential appointees. That corporation, in turn, can choose to support original programming produced by public television or public radio - but, by law, must direct much of its $445 million funding (scheduled to top $500 million next fiscal year) to local public television and public radio stations across the country, via so-called "community service grants." By their own metrics (see links below), they are boutique broadcasting. Buh-bye, it's just a matter of time. Here is a link to Link to the NPR - 2011 numbers. NPR's own research shows that of its 26.8 million listeners 23 percent self-identify as 'middle of the road'. Roughly 37 percent identify as liberal or somewhat liberal, and 26 percent as conservative or somewhat conservative. This roughly tracks Rosenstiel's data that NPR's audience skews more independent (14 percent) and Democratic (14 percent) than Republican (6 percent.) Here is a link to Link to the NPR - 2023 numbers. And other info. By 2023, the picture was completely different: only 11 percent described themselves as very or somewhat conservative, 21 percent as middle of the road, and 67 percent of listeners said they were very or somewhat liberal. We weren't just losing conservatives; we were also losing moderates and traditional liberals.
Fastpitch softball. WCWS is down to two teams. Texas Tech and Texas. Games tomorrow night and Wednesday evening. Thursday if necessary. High energy postseason college event. Pace of play. If any ball is bobbled, the runner is safe (precision). Moves quickly, hustle is important. Here is the bracket for the WCWS. Anyone taken in the Oklahoma City event? Bucket list trip for scampydog. Flame away in the comments.
- NCAA softball leader in wins (1,674)
*** Dugout cheers - ehh.. not the best part of the softball experience. Preference for some crowd energy and old school cheers from the fans. Beer, beer, beer, makes you want to cheer. Gin, gin, gin, makes you want to win. Ice cold Duck, makes you want to... SCORE! Strawberry shortcake, banana split, we think your team plays like... shift to the left, shift to the right. Share some in the comments.
The hawk has learned that after a certain large family eats outdoors, the leftovers in their yard attract plenty of sparrows, pigeons, and other yummy birds. It then waits for a long line of cars to build at the traffic light situated on the street next to the family's home. Four-wheeled picture safari. Both images below sent along by an Eastern Washington Moron who wishes to remain anonymous.
OK, maybe I went looking for this one. Because:
