Taking jobs? Who, is giving them illegal jobs?

Why aren't people talking about this and doing something about it?

I can't resist - I've been trying to get an invite for awhile now. Thanks!

There was a 10 year or so build up prior to Nevermind where punk (and it's variants) were not being played on the radio (obviously, which was still relevant then). You didn't hear Black Flag, Minor Threat, Hüsker Dü et al. on the radio except perhaps a specialty show or on college radio. That pressure was building every year and so was the fan base. People were tired of hearing The Who all the time..."corporate rock".

MTV's 120 Minutes was essential stuff back in the day.

I grew up in Seattle - friends were telling me for years before Nevermind about Nirvana. They were building a reputation slowly across the US. Subpop was helping, they had a national network, but not fast enough. Once Nirvana had a major label marketing for them - things went crazy.

Nirvana was that magic mix of punk/hard rock and pop that broke the dam - and the audience was ready to go.

Why stop at four?

Very corrupt political and wealthy class for starters. If you want to do some research look into the Petrocaribe scandal and the recent assassination of the president. I lived there for five years (until 2019) and everything got a little more worse month after month. By the end, we were lucky if we had 10 hours of grid power in a typical week (when we arrived we had consistently 14 hours per day).

Add me to the list of NYT subscription failures. Sorry NYT, but I will never sign up again (and I think you are a good newspaper) unless you come clean about these lame practices.

Yes.

A friend visited recently, within three days with very little time outside, their throat was burning.

I recently moved to Kathmandu, Nepal (I'm a US citizen). The air quality is debilitating. All the gyms I've looked at (except the American Club which costs $100/month) have open windows, so you are more or less unable to exercise unless you have a gym at home and an air purifier. We have an AP but when the wind blows the right direction our sensor reports sometimes as high as 200 - it comes in under the door (we are searching for a solution). Let's hope it never gets this bad in the US.

Perhaps we should convince their group that berberechos are a new discovery?...haha. I'm in Kathmandu and today at my local market chain (Big Mart) I found frozen ostrich meat - an interesting surprise.
