Particularly the line “Cuz Girls Your Age Know Better.” I think there’s a lot of ladies — particularly younger ones — who could stand to identify some of the red flags she rattles off. Only dates younger women, tells her all the exes just happen to be crazy, emotionally (and sometimes monetarily) draining, etc.
More about the artist here. Apparently she has made what she considers some bad dating decisions.
Trying to become more social again over here. A blogroll of sorts has appeared. Let me know if you think somebody is missing or would make a good addition.
This recently hit my radio station. Definitely a different sound
This recently hit the radio station I listen to in the morning. I was not expecting the video to be so beautiful.
So when I first heard this song, it sounded like The Weeknd (pronounced as if it were spelled Weekend, as opposed to Weakened) had gotten into his dad’s stash of 80s synths and drum machines. Didn’t realize at the time it was the video with an empty Fremont Street in Vegas — among other locations. Makes it eerily prescient.
Not sure why this song has been coming up in my life so much lately. Maybe one of the boys needs some cash and sold some rights? Fun fact, I used to be really into the Bay City Rollers — who are not from Bay City, MI. That was before I discovered Alan Parsons.
What do Dave Johnson and Donald Trump have in common?: Both agree that we have infrastructure that needs to be fixed. But I’m not hearing mainline Democrats or Republicans joining in. It’s not a brave political statement to say “Maybe we could put some people to work fixing some roads.”
Speaking of American Politics: I’m not the only one who noticed it’s crazy out there. Hillary has her share of foot-in-mouth disease. And Bernie is closer to the true center — the one that wants decent jobs and affordable healthcare — than anybody in the establishment wants to admit (which is why Trump is more welcoming to Sanders followers than Hillary; see the speech text above).
The Noose Gets Tighter: The Senate failed by ONE VOTE to pass a law allowing the FBI to look at your browser history for funzies. Remember come November. Meanwhile, US Customs wants to know the social media accounts of people entering the country. Because no terrorist is smart enough to say “no I don’t have Twitter” or give a username more generic than the one they use to keep up with the latest ISIS jihabi memes. Meanwhile, the TSA is still pushing their “get out of the security line free” card as a way to shorten lines at the airport. One user gave the ringing endorsement of “not so hard as signing up for Obamacare.”
Free Electronic Music: Moby wrote himself some yoga and meditation music. He decided to share. Very nice of him.
Not sure what to say about Brexit: So here’s one of the more intelligent things I’ve read on the issue.
Obligatory Economy Item: Wages have been stagnant for over 40 years when adjusted for inflation. Maybe some of these ideas could help. Oh, and don’t let anybody scare you about Social Security. Forbes is hardly a “liberal rag,” and they say that the latest scaremongering is way overblown.
When Willie Nelson covers your song, it becomes his. Sorry, Eddie. Paul Simon already knew.
In Closing: want; poor babies; history lesson; definitions; dumb questions; biometric database; maybe salt isn’t the devil; reasons; files; and just for fun, how many people have your name. There’s another Bridget Magnus in Canada, but I’m apparently unique in the US.
Over a million dollars of tax money later, the Feds found somebody to crack one iPhone. And what did they find? As predicted, nothing of value.
That isn’t stopping the Feds from trying to make you less secure (not that you are terribly secure now). After all, the location of a ticking time bomb might someday be in somebody’s phone! The bill on the table has been called “technically illiterate,” “unworkable,” and “a firing offense.” You might want to take a minute to remind your Senators and Representatives that you vote.
In other news, a meddling judge said that the FBI can’t get around the need for an actual warrant by just hacking suspected perps. Let’s hear it for meddling judges.
Just a reminder, folks: 
In Closing: a mighty suspicious coincidence; power shopping; the piano; and a double dose of Prince.
