   1. Well … TBF … the Brits embrace LGBTQueers far more enthusiastically than middle America. Hell their Parliament is full of Queers.

      As for remixes … well … to my ear they sound like “Hooked on Classics” overdubbing a bad disco beat on Beethoven. Nah … I’ll go with the ORIGINAL Quincy Jones Funk … such as with The Brothers Johnson. Yeah … just another massive hit from the greatest year ever for music … 1971 … giving the BeeGees a template for their later disco music.

      1. Shug’s … damn autocorrect
         1971 original

2. Although my ear is tuned more to psychedelic funk … what a time to go through high school! When popular music … and fringe music was flowing like a firehose. Every performer different and unique. I’d like to thank Sly (RIP) for opening this white suburban boy’s eyes and ears in 1973 to SOUL … with a funky psych. beat and arrangement as complex as anything Steely Dan ever dreamed of …

3. Meta built a data centre, then the neighbours water taps went dry.

   Amazing how much water the AI data centers need.

4. China’s richest businessman buys water supply of New Hampshire town.

   Apparently he paid $67 million for a property assessed at $15 million.

   Time to raise the assessment?

5. Leslie Nielsen and other Airplane! cast members reunite:

   Fart noises included.

6. If you noticed your iPhone is charging more slowly, it may be due to a new setting Apple added in OS 16.1 – Clean Energy Charging.

   Your iPhone is now equipped with clean energy charging. By default, it will charge your phone when more solar and wind power is available on your local grid.

7. Tulsi Gabbard continues to push to see justice delivered:

   2. Perhaps the TSA shouldn’t have put her on their “Quiet Skies” list for high scrutiny. Those 18 Intelligence Agencies shouldn’t have scorned THAT woman … Mahalo

8. Police arrest Kymani Wint, the 14-year-old perp who murdered an elderly woman carrying groceries:
   https://www.gangsterismout.com/?p=9523

   This is a neat, clever web page:
   https://www.gangsterismout.com/

   1. A footnote to the above post. The left-wing, pro-crime Globe and Mail published a story on the gifted Wint’s capture, and for some reason allowed comments to the article to appear. A long string of comments were made, nearly all of them angry. It was in these comments I picked up the “gangsterismout” links above. But going to the article now, one sees that all the angry comments have been scrubbed. The comments you see went against the paper’s on-high narrative.

    https://www.afr.com/companies/financial-services/another-week-another-moment-of-reckoning-for-private-credit-funds-20250719-p5mg5f

    …but Merrick Capital, a Houston-based private equity firm, is withholding investors’ withdrawals beyond the 30-day notice requirement. Has to do with liquidity or something.

14. BLM couple robs victim at a Toronto bar. She (Shania Richards) is arrested. He is on the lam:
