	3:11am Scott67: G'day Brian & Currents Crew! I sense a theme mate? 🍻😎🤙🎶📻🌏🌻
	3:17am Brian D: Hey Scott! All!
	3:18am Scott67: JCC! 🍻😎🤙
	3:26am _Ike_: Meow meow purr purr.
	3:27am Paulo AD: The gym is ending my life!! Save me
	3:32am Scott67: Walk away Paulo!
	3:33am _Ike_: New local news site: www.hellgatenyc.com
	3:35am Paulo AD: No chance, in for a penny haha squats are over with thank jeebus
	3:38am Katy_bar_the_door: For what is worth, gun laws in Canada are very, very stringent. I have my name reached ever morning by the national police data base as a licensed holder. Getting the license involves a ton of verification (ex. names of ex conjugal partners over 10 years, etc). I know the tragedies recently in the US have been a difficult national discussion for you all, but up here, the current Canadian legislation/gun ban is being used as a as political wedge issue, and not based on the reality here.
	3:40am Scott67: A "ya right mate?" is my go too!
	3:40am Brian D: Hey Paulo! HellGate started by some old Village Voice folks @Ike.
	3:41am Brian D: @Katy, it's used as a political wedge issue here, too, unfortunately.
	3:41am _Ike_: Good to know @Brian D -- I wasn't aware who was behind it, just that it looks promising.
	3:41am Brian D: It does. Good people behind it. I may try to write for them.
	3:47am _Ike_: For me, the most interesting local story lately is one that affects me directly: getting redrawn into a new Congressional district, NY-10, along w/lower Manhattan. Heaps of different candidates running for this one, and I'm guessing two of the Manhattanites will have the edge over anybody from Brooklyn. (Or Westchester... WTF?)
	3:48am Brian D: Yeah, the redistricting in NY is a cluster----
	3:49am fred: Hello Brian and listeners
	3:50am Scott67: Very Depeche in its Mode!
	3:51am Scott67: G'day Fred!🍻😎🤙
	3:53am _Ike_: I give de Blasio less than 100:1 odds. Nobody wants you around anymore, you dork. Progressives don't like you, moderates don't like you -- go away.
	3:53am Brian D: Hello Fred!
	⚡ 3:54am Don in Tampere: Good morning Currents gang!
	3:54am Brian D: None of the options are ideal @Ike.
	3:58am _Ike_: Yuh-Line Niou seems OK to me. Everybody else so far has issues or is unproven. (E.g. who the hell is Dan Goldman?!?) IMHO Niou has a good NY Assembly record.
	3:59am fred: @Scott: Did Trash Cult reopen?
	4:00am Brian D: Hey Don! Don't know much about Niou. de Blasio has name recognition, which, unfortunately, is often enough.
	4:03am Scott67: It did Fred! & great Bands Friday night & Saturday arvo mate! 🍻😎🤙
	⚡ 4:03am Michael of Cologne: Good morning Brian & all.
	4:08am _Ike_: @Brian@4:00, in this district, I think that won't be enough. Or at least in Park Slope and increasingly in Sunset Park, we have a very dialed-in electorate that actually pays attention and shows up. And even though the Slope is largely white and affluent, its #1 and #2 choices for city council were progressives of color, Shahana Hanif and Brandon West. This is supposed to be de Blasio's core neighborhood but he's yesterday's news now, as long as Niou or maybe Rivera or Jones pound the pavement and knock on enough doors.
	4:09am _Ike_: That said, I have no idea what will happen in the Manhattan part of the district.
	4:13am fred: We have elections next week here. I might vote more to the center than usual, I think it's important to have a counter-power to Macron. I'm not optimistic though
	4:17am Brian D: @Ike, yeah I was more thinking how Manhattanites in that district will vote. Agree with you totally, though.
	4:17am Brian D: Belated hello Michael!
	4:18am fred: I saw a dream machine years ago. Didn't work on me at all, maybe the setting was wrong (art museum, but I went there early, and there were few people around)
	4:18am Brian D: A much better explanation of the Dreamachine: www.theguardian.com...
	4:22am LiXiviated Life: Hey all
	4:22am Brian D: Lix!
	4:23am fred: I guess I'm just too paranoid to be comfortable closing my eyes in a public space, so I wasn't open enough, if that makes sense
	4:24am Brian D: Totally Fred. I'd probably be the same way.
	4:25am _Ike_: Ugh, that clip about anti-choice "Democrat" Henry Cuellar, yuck. Sadly his challenger seems to have lost that primary by a few hundred votes. Gee thanks, Nancy Pelosi and Jim Clyburn. BUT, on a more positive note, a different conservative Democrat (and apparently a huge jerk), Kurt Schrader, was defeated in Oregon by a progressive, and other Blue Dog Democrats have been beaten. Plus, prospective new Blue Dogs were defeated in races for open districts. For way too much detail: primaries.substack.com
	4:27am _Ike_: (Also, that blog's rundowns of NY-10 and NY-12 are hilarious.)
	4:30am Brian D: Hell Gate's you mean? Yeah, Ike, I almost didn't do that Dem story because it depresses the sh*t out of me. But, I heard about Schrader, so good news there.
	4:31am fred: @Ike: Do you have a link to those rundowns? I don't live there, but it might give me ideas
	4:38am _Ike_: There's no direct link, you just have to go here and then Ctrl-F NY-10 or NY-12 or scroll way way way down to them: primaries.substack.com... This blog is a great resource because it also shows a lot of the MONEY RAISED by politicians across the country through FEC reports and the like, and reports on suspicious Super PAC money, etc.
	4:39am _Ike_: *politicians and candidates
	4:45am Brian D: Neil Leifer, for those interested: neilleifer.com
	4:48am fred: @Ike: thanks. I wish I had such a resource, though "congress" politics are more national in my district (middle-class Paris suburbs, people come and go)
	4:51am fred: @Ike: I use firefox, one thing I like is that '/' is a shortcut for "search". I'm an unrepentant vi user, so it helps
	4:51am Paulo AD: Gym done, shower done.. I need to eat
	4:52am fred: @Paulo: no golf today?
	4:53am Paulo AD: Not on a sunday Fred. Saturdays and thursday mostly
	4:54am Paulo AD: Had my best ever round yesterday, hoping that luck carries on to the wales game today. I am aware we are the baddies today
	4:56am Brian D: Anyone facing Ukraine is these days, @Paulo.
	4:57am Paulo AD: Indeed Bri
	4:59am fred: Is that about a football game? I'm so clueless about most sports
	5:04am HyperDose: This is a righteous tune
	⚡ 5:11am Don in Tampere: I'm pretty clueless about sports too. I didn't even know Finland had won the hockey world cup last Sunday until the next morning. Unlike my friend, who was kept awake by drunk partiers next door to her all night.
	5:13am Brian D: Belated yes, @Fred. Wales play Ukraine in World Cup qualifying, with the winner going to the finals in Qatar in November.
	5:13am Brian D: And, @Don, I watched that game, and was cheering for Finland. However, had I known their victory would have kept your friend awake...
	⚡ 5:14am Don in Tampere: The start of this track kind of reminded me of a slowed-down version of the black metal surf music tribute that's circling around the net.
	5:16am fred: @Don: That's why my only rooting interest is against France and Algeria. Fans smash things up in celebration if they win, in anger if they lose. Makes getting home from a show an ordeal. So I want them to lose, so there are fewer games
	5:28am Scott67: Bout fucken time too!!
	5:42am morphe': Just tuned in .....
	5:44am Brian D: Hey Morphe!
	5:47am fred: @morphe': are you in Spain or Ireland today?
	⚡ 5:49am Michael of Cologne: Thanks Brian, that Dreamachine thingy, individual or collective, would seem to promise a short cut to insight, a fast track to transcendence. Good luck with that. I prefer the slow train with the most elementary. Takes much longer, but sticks. Transcendence is much, much closer than commonly imagined.
	5:57am Brian D: Thank you all. Stay safe and well. "See" you next week!
	5:58am Scott67: These two might pop into TRASH CULT one day soonish? A good mate of theirs drinks there, she reckons she'll bring em in when they're back here.
	5:58am morphe': Fred -Ireland until 11 July ... Thanks Brian and all...
	5:59am Scott67: Thanks Brian!🍻😎🤙🌏🌻❤️
