	⚡ 6:12am Don in Tampere: Hi Brian and all, greetings from the dark time of year here. I'll head out before too long for a walk since it will get dark a little after 3, and walking is about the only exercise allowed for the first 2 weeks after the cataract surgery I had Thursday. Boy, things look brighter, even in the dark time of year!
	6:13am Brian D: ↳ fred @6:06 Enjoy, Fred. Always a pleasure.
	6:13am Brian D: ↳ Barbie @6:10 Safe travels, Barbie.
	6:13am fred: I think we need social media controls for other age ranges than teens I don't partake, so I don't know what I'm talking about, but social media seems to be a cesspool nobody needs The WFMU playlist excluded, of course
	6:14am Brian D: ↳ newton @6:11 And safe travels to you, sir. Flip Barbie the bird as you pass on the Taconic.
	⚡ 6:14am tom tom the pipers son: ↳ Brian D @6:11 its called tryptophan blowback, i think, sleep through day after, then up at six next day, think that's how it works...
	6:14am TDK60: ↳ Brian D @6:12 Brian: Oh, did you take the ferry rather than the underground train?
	6:14am Brian D: ↳ Brian in UK @6:12 Great to "see" you, Brian. All the best to your relatives.
	6:14am Angel DiMaria: Good morning everyone
	6:15am TDK60: Today is the 25 year mark of the "Battle of Seattle" -- 1999. Over four days, activists, environmentalists, labor unionists shut down the World Trade Organization summit. Also, it's the anniversary of birthdays for: writer Mark Twain, 1835; Yippie activist Abbie Hoffman, 1936; blues singer-guitarist Brownie McGhee, 1915; Punk rock singer Billy Idol, 1955. And deaths on this day: Irish playwright, gay pioneer Oscar Wilde, 1900; Hellraiser socialist labor leader Mother Jones, 1930.
	6:16am Brian D: ↳ Don in Tampere @6:12 That's in my future too, Don. The cataract surgery. Wishing you a speedy recovery. By the way, Dark Bottle is now officially with the WFMU music director. Sorry it got misplaced for a bit. My fault.
	⚡ 6:16am Brian in UK: ↳ fred @6:06 fred, that is impressive even by your standards.
	⚡ 6:17am tom tom the pipers son: ↳ Don in Tampere @6:12 smooth sailing with recovery don...
	6:18am Brian D: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @6:14 I just keep sleeping.
	6:19am Brian D: ↳ TDK60 @6:14 Nah. Too early for the ferry. But I always stop to look at the river before coming in.
	6:20am Brian D: ↳ Angel DiMaria @6:14 My first futbolista! Welcome, Angel.
	6:22am Brian D: ↳ TDK60 @6:15 Wow. Some day. Can't believe the "Battle in Seattle" was 25 years ago.
	⚡ 6:23am Hoboken Jack: Good morning Brian, Will, Spikey, all!
	⚡ 6:24am Brian in UK: Brian, thought you might like to peruse this list. It is rather despressing how many there are in power/media. www.theneweuropean.co.uk...
	⚡ 6:24am tom tom the pipers son: i think i saw these gods on vanderpump rules
	⚡ 6:25am Brian in UK: ↳ Angel DiMaria @6:14 Are tattoos compulsory on modern footballers bodies?
	6:26am Brian D: ↳ Brian in UK @6:24 Perusing now. Rogues gallery indeed.
	6:26am Brian D: ↳ Hoboken Jack @6:23 Good morning, sir.
	6:27am TDK60: ↳ Brian in UK @6:25 Ho there Brian in UK. Where have you been? In the wilds of Wales? Thanks for the list, I suppose. Hee.
	⚡ 6:27am tom tom the pipers son: ↳ Brian in UK @6:25 they are compulsory on vanderpump rules
	6:29am pgalub: Hey Brian, JAAAAACK, and everyone!
	⚡ 6:30am tom tom the pipers son: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @6:27 this happened on vanderpump rules...only it was a hibachi
	6:30am fred: Once of the dance shows I saw had a soundtrack made out of bites from the "duck season/rabbit season" classic cartoon. Not so fun as the choreographer explained it was a reference to her father shooting himself while she was watching cartoons in the next room
	6:31am Angel DiMaria: A canvas for the world to see , why not
	⚡ 6:31am tom tom the pipers son: ↳ fred @6:30 did she include "that's all folks"
	6:32am Fredericks: ↳ Don in Tampere @6:12 Like having the scales removed?
	⚡ 6:33am Brian in UK: ↳ TDK60 @6:27 Hello TDK60, my comment at 6.12 is the answer. Been lurking in & out of this station, hope all is well with you. I see that Fairports are still touring. Agree with fred's comment about social media.
	⚡ 6:34am Brian in UK: ↳ fred @6:30 Reality leaves a lot to the imagination.
	⚡ 6:36am Brian in UK: ↳ Song: "Somewhere Down The Crazy River" by "Robbie Robert... Robbie almost sings. 'Hang the rich'.
	6:36am fred: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @6:31 No, maybe she should have. She already included astronomy, pétanque, and ended with T.S. Eliot instead
	6:36am Brian D: ↳ pgalub @6:29 Mr. G!
	⚡ 6:39am tom tom the pipers son: ↳ fred @6:36 there's bound to be a bicyclist in one of these performances...
	⚡ 6:42am Spikey BXL: We kill the 🔥
	6:43am TDK60: ↳ Brian in UK @6:24 Hi again Brian. I'm blocked from seeing that list. Is there any way to see it otherwise?
	6:44am Mike Sin: The only positive of having to get up and drive to the airport on this holiday weekend and deal with maniacal New Jersey traffic is getting a chance to listen to a lot this excellent show.
	6:45am fred: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @6:39 Not this one, is was minimal and darker (nod to the Leonard Cohen track playing now). At first maybe, but it wouldn't have fit (the balls in pétanque echoed astronomy in ways a bicycle wouldn't) It was a tight show, despite the cartoon theme
	⚡ 6:45am Brian in UK: ↳ TDK60 @6:43 Not sure, if Brian D can see it not sure why.
	6:45am Brian D: ↳ Mike Sin @6:44 Thanks Mike! Great to have you. Drive safe.
	⚡ 6:46am Hoboken Jack: Hello PEEEEEEETE, Fredericks, Mike Sin!
	6:46am Brian D: ↳ Brian in UK @6:45 Somebody at FMU registered for the New European.
	6:46am Eric the Hat: My favorite Beck track
	6:47am Danny in Poughkeepsie: Good morning Brian
	6:48am Matthew: ↳ TDK60 @6:43 I'm sure we could easily make our own list.
	⚡ 6:48am Brian in UK: ↳ Brian D @6:46 TDK60, that may be why. It is the only newspaper I have ever subscribed to.
	6:49am Brian D: ↳ Danny in Poughkeepsie @6:47 Danny, good morning.
	6:51am TDK60: ↳ Matthew @6:48 Good morning Matthew. Yes, I can help start that. Let me sharpen my pencil. Now that I think about it, I may need more than one pencil.
	⚡ 6:52am Brian in UK: The bill has not passed into legislation yet. Think it was the second reading, but it passed that.
	6:53am Angel DiMaria: Dance me is the name of the performance
	⚡ 6:54am Spikey BXL: ↳ Danny in Poughkeepsie @6:47 Good morning, Danny! Sending you strength and love. Hello to the regular pals as well, and the new pals. About to go for a cold sunny hike with you in my ears.
	6:55am morphe': Attuned, but multitasking/listening to the early voting results for Ireland's Nat'l elections..
	⚡ 6:56am tom tom the pipers son: ↳ fred @6:45 the petanque referred matisse paintings for me... i mentioned the bicycle because i thought there was a news story in paris about a bicyclist getting killed and m,acron riding it so to speak
	6:56am Otto: Laswell rulez!
	6:57am Danny in Poughkeepsie: ↳ Spikey BXL @6:54 Thanks Spikey BXL. Be careful
	6:57am egould: Food and football are awesome.
	6:58am flman: "Curiosity killed the cat, but satisfaction brought it back" The full quote ;)
	6:58am Dave V: The Voice had a sports section?! Lol.
	7:00am Brian D: ↳ Dave V @6:58 Only seen by those scanning the 1-900 numbers.
	7:00am Brian D: ↳ flman @6:58 Well that makes me feel better.
	7:01am Brian D: ↳ morphe' @6:55 Greetings Morphe. Last I saw, FF and FG were once again in a dead heat.
	7:02am Brian D: ↳ Angel DiMaria @6:53 Yes. Thank you, Angel.
	7:02am Brian D: ↳ Brian in UK @6:52 Ah, thank you for the clarification and correction.
	7:07am fred: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @6:56 Cyclists kill or get killed often in Paris. They're reckless, I've seen one stop at a light and other cyclists beating her up for it (hipster types mind you, the kind with their dad in law cop on speed dial) Bad memories of Critical Mass, when cyclists would drive their SUVs from exurbia then take off the bikes and hunt pedestrians to beat them up for objecting to their parking space during the workweek
	7:08am morphe': ↳ Brian D @7:01 FG losing seats, SF doing better than expected[but % ahead may shift to FF when the % Transfer votes [choices 2,3,4 =>] kick in and Hutch is still in the running for the 4th seat in Dub North Inner City...
	7:10am Brian D: ↳ morphe' @7:08 Good news about SF. Guess they recovered from their "scandal" (in quotes, because it is tame compared with what passes here).
	⚡ 7:11am Peter from Saranac Lake NY: Good morning Brian and newsies.
	⚡ 7:12am Peter from Saranac Lake NY: ↳ fred @7:07 Whoa. I thought I had it bad in the US. One time, a motorist forced me off the road so he could ask directions. (He got a piece of my mind instead.)
	7:14am Fredericks: ↳ Hoboken Jack @6:46 Jack, is that you?
	7:15am Brian D: ↳ Peter from Saranac Lake NY @7:11 Greetings, Peter.
	⚡ 7:16am tom tom the pipers son: ↳ fred @7:07 a cycling recklessness is beginning to happen here with e-bikes that travel at the speed of cars but rarely pause much less stop for stoplights. you have to be more wary of them than the car drivers...also e-bikes on sidewalks, completely lawless....you describe a very particular twisted-ness
	7:16am rich in angleton: good morning Brian and everyone in radio land!
	7:17am Brian D: ↳ rich in angleton @7:16 Good morning, Rich.
	⚡ 7:18am Brian in UK: ↳ Brian D @7:10 This happened yesterday over here, a relatively small affair compared to the list of Conservative failures. For later. www.youtube.com...
	⚡ 7:19am tom tom the pipers son: @brian d.....i have a poem...
	7:21am Brian D: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @7:19 Do share.
	⚡ 7:22am tom tom the pipers son: ↳ fred @7:07 actually sounds like something out of de sade
	7:22am Otto: You’re on it this morning Brian, good stuff! Thank you!!!🙏
	⚡ 7:22am tom tom the pipers son: Not NYT Junk Poetry The Heirs of A Despised Opera Tradition Died In a Slick and Pleasing Spy Drama but Want Their Wright Brothers Plane Back In One of the Most Foreseeable Catastrophes in History As They Hate Each Other and Love Each Other In an Endless World of Second Chances That Slides Toward Authoritarianism With Wall-to-Wall Tiger Print Hunting and Feasting on the Largest Fossil On Earth
	7:32am Brian D: "Most Foreseeable / Catastrophes in History." I really hope the headline writers read these.
	7:36am Ken From Hyde Park: Good morning! Things that should be major news headlines but aren't: Orange juice containers have shrunk again and now down to 42 ounces.
	7:37am Ken From Hyde Park: ↳ Ken From Hyde Park @7:36 *46 ounces, but the point stands.
	⚡ 7:38am Spikey BXL: ↳ Song: "Clip: 7NEWS-Australia-Cop who used taser on 95yo ... Fornicate the constabulary
	7:40am morphe': ↳ Song: "Summer in Dublin" by "Bagatelle" "Pennsylvania6-5000" Glenn Miller song would not work as "7365000"
	⚡ 7:42am tom tom the pipers son: ↳ Brian D @7:32 well that line is a lift but about bird flu, but here it's about something else... think i said this during his first term....what's going on is a hostile business takeover where assets are liquidated and put offshore int c.e.o.'s accounts
	7:44am morphe': Some good news, but awkward for current head of the UK Conservative Party = Kemi Badenoch] "Kneecap: UK government acted illegally in withholding funding from Irish rap trio" The Department for Business and Trade said Kemi Badenoch’s decision to rescind funding had been ‘unlawful and procedurally unfair’" www.theguardian.com...
	⚡ 7:48am Brian in UK: ↳ morphe' @7:44 Have you seen the Kneecap film? I have not yet.
	7:50am Brian D: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @7:42 Bird flu... learn... history... doomed... repeat... etc.
	7:51am Brian D: ↳ Brian in UK @7:48 Fantastic movie, though not for the faint of heart.
	7:52am morphe': ↳ Brian in UK @7:48 Not yet either ...
	⚡ 7:55am Spikey BXL: ↳ Song: "Oh France" by "Mdou Moctar" This one stings a bit, as the MM concert for tonight was cancelled.
	7:55am Fredericks: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @6:24 uploads.disquscdn.com...
	⚡ 7:55am Peter from Saranac Lake NY: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @7:42 On a different note: article about Trump/Musk's disinformation campaign. foreignpolicy.com...
	⚡ 7:56am NotARealDoctor: Hey good morning Brian and surfers of the Currents. Slept late today but we're up at the dog park chasing the ball here in Norfolk VA
	7:56am TDK60: ↳ Song: "Oh France" by "Mdou Moctar" Well, I'm awake now.
	7:57am morphe': Re: KneeCap Grant = they are giving it 50/50 to 2 community groups split by a "Peace Wall" "The band said it would split the £14,250 equally between two youth organisations who work with Protestant and Catholic communities in Northern Ireland "to create a better future for our young people". www.bbc.com...
	⚡ 8:02am tom tom the pipers son: ↳ Peter from Saranac Lake NY @7:55 thanks will go through later ... misinformation entwined with propaganda
	⚡ 8:04am tom tom the pipers son: ↳ Fredericks @7:55 musk was described at a recent appearance as being dressed like a bouncer at a strip club
	8:08am Brian D: ↳ morphe' @7:57 Those Kneecap fellas put their money where their mouths are.
	⚡ 8:14am Will thee SG OCNY: ↳ Hoboken Jack @6:23 hi Hoboken Jack!
	⚡ 8:14am Peter from Saranac Lake NY: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @8:02 Disinformation blended with propaganda: agreed. It's a long article but worth it.
	⚡ 8:16am tom tom the pipers son: ↳ Peter from Saranac Lake NY @8:14 its propaganda, just structured differently
	8:18am Re6ecca: Good morning! Great song!!
	8:20am Brian D: ↳ Re6ecca @8:18 Hi Becky! Good morning.
	⚡ 8:21am NotARealDoctor: ↳ Song: "Clip: NBC-Australia bans social media for under 16s" Good but bad is a very good way to describe it. There are a very few good things that social media provides, such as a community for kids who feel isolated in a closed off local community (eg queer kids in a fundamentalist christian area) but the ills of social media addiction, online bullying, etc seem to outweigh what little good there is
	⚡ 8:24am Don in Tampere: Hi all, back from a pre-dusk walk along the lake. Brian, if your cataract surgery goes anything like mine, you will be pleased. It's only 2 days since the operation but I'm seeing already a lot better than before.
	8:26am Brian D: ↳ NotARealDoctor @8:21 I think this is one of those things where "unintended consequences" occur.
	8:26am Brian D: ↳ Don in Tampere @8:24 Good to hear, Don.
	⚡ 8:37am Spikey BXL: Super news, Don! Is the dark bottle still dark or is the name going to change?
	⚡ 8:38am NotARealDoctor: ↳ Brian D @8:26 I'm interested to find out what they decide reasonable measures will mean and how Australian teens will almost certainly circumvent them
	8:41am Nick K: Ukrainian Nazis will lose
	⚡ 8:41am Spikey BXL: ↳ Song: "Diktat" by "Rixe" tir groupé (pronounce like toupee) group shot is what it means also 🇺🇦Слава Україні! Героям слава!🇺🇦
	⚡ 8:42am Peter from Saranac Lake NY: ↳ Song: "Diktat" by "Rixe" The only upside to the incoming administration will be the bounty of songwriting prompts.
	8:43am Charles in Chicago: ↳ Spikey BXL @8:41 Путін—хуйло!
	⚡ 8:43am Spikey BXL: ↳ Charles in Chicago @8:43 very much so!!
	8:44am Nick K: Ukraine is a us money laundering scheme started in 2014
	8:44am TDK60: I went to a family dinner and had green beans and sweet potatoes in my mouth the whole time. I couldn't wax socio-politico. Oh well. Give thanks.

	8:45am London Calling Francky: ↳ Song: "Shout You Down" by "Galaxie 500" Wow Galaxie 500 & Gogol Bordello! Rocking end to the show Brian, thank you!
	8:45am newton: I made it to wooster st!
	8:45am Nick K: I’m a troll because u oppose my view
	⚡ 8:46am Spikey BXL: No you're a troll because you spew disinformation
	8:46am Nick K: Oh ok bye now do some research
	8:47am Charles in Chicago: ↳ Spikey BXL @8:46 I'm starting to think the WFMU boards should only allow comments from people who are logged in.
	8:47am Brian D: ↳ London Calling Francky @8:45 Truly my pleasure, LCF.
	⚡ 8:48am Peter from Saranac Lake NY: ↳ Spikey BXL @8:44 Agreed, Spikey.
	8:49am Danny in Poughkeepsie: Loved your show Brian. Thanks
	⚡ 8:50am Brian in UK: Thanks Brian.
	⚡ 8:53am tom tom the pipers son: thanks brian...
	⚡ 8:53am William Hellfire: Thanks Brian! See you all at Fools!!!
	8:54am Re6ecca: Devarrow, also new to me! Great song!
	⚡ 8:54am bradford: Thanks, Brian.
	⚡ 8:55am Peter from Saranac Lake NY: Great show, Brian. Thank you.

	⚡ 6:12am Don in Tampere: Hi Brian and all, greetings from the dark time of year here. I'll head out before too long for a walk since it will get dark a little after 3, and walking is about the only exercise allowed for the first 2 weeks after the cataract surgery I had Thursday. Boy, things look brighter, even in the dark time of year!
	6:13am Brian D: ↳ fred @6:06 Enjoy, Fred. Always a pleasure.
	6:13am Brian D: ↳ Barbie @6:10 Safe travels, Barbie.
	6:13am fred: I think we need social media controls for other age ranges than teens I don't partake, so I don't know what I'm talking about, but social media seems to be a cesspool nobody needs The WFMU playlist excluded, of course

	6:14am Brian D: ↳ Brian in UK @6:12 Great to "see" you, Brian. All the best to your relatives.
	6:14am Angel DiMaria: Good morning everyone
	6:15am TDK60: Today is the 25 year mark of the "Battle of Seattle" -- 1999. Over four days, activists, environmentalists, labor unionists shut down the World Trade Organization summit. Also, it's the anniversary of birthdays for: writer Mark Twain, 1835; Yippie activist Abbie Hoffman, 1936; blues singer-guitarist Brownie McGhee, 1915; Punk rock singer Billy Idol, 1955. And deaths on this day: Irish playwright, gay pioneer Oscar Wilde, 1900; Hellraiser socialist labor leader Mother Jones, 1930.
	6:16am Brian D: ↳ Don in Tampere @6:12 That's in my future too, Don. The cataract surgery. Wishing you a speedy recovery. By the way, Dark Bottle is now officially with the WFMU music director. Sorry it got misplaced for a bit. My fault.
	⚡ 6:16am Brian in UK: ↳ fred @6:06 fred, that is impressive even by your standards.
	⚡ 6:17am tom tom the pipers son: ↳ Don in Tampere @6:12 smooth sailing with recovery don...

	⚡ 6:23am Hoboken Jack: Good morning Brian, Will, Spikey, all!
	⚡ 6:24am Brian in UK: Brian, thought you might like to peruse this list. It is rather despressing how many there are in power/media. www.theneweuropean.co.uk...
	⚡ 6:24am tom tom the pipers son: i think i saw these gods on vanderpump rules
	⚡ 6:25am Brian in UK: ↳ Angel DiMaria @6:14 Are tattoos compulsory on modern footballers bodies?

	6:30am fred: Once of the dance shows I saw had a soundtrack made out of bites from the "duck season/rabbit season" classic cartoon. Not so fun as the choreographer explained it was a reference to her father shooting himself while she was watching cartoons in the next room
	6:31am Angel DiMaria: A canvas for the world to see , why not
	⚡ 6:31am tom tom the pipers son: ↳ fred @6:30 did she include "that's all folks"

	⚡ 6:33am Brian in UK: ↳ TDK60 @6:27 Hello TDK60, my comment at 6.12 is the answer. Been lurking in & out of this station, hope all is well with you. I see that Fairports are still touring. Agree with fred's comment about social media.
	⚡ 6:34am Brian in UK: ↳ fred @6:30 Reality leaves a lot to the imagination.
	⚡ 6:36am Brian in UK: ↳ Song: "Somewhere Down The Crazy River" by "Robbie Robert... Robbie almost sings. 'Hang the rich'.
	6:36am fred: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @6:31 No, maybe she should have. She already included astronomy, pétanque, and ended with T.S. Eliot instead
	6:36am Brian D: ↳ pgalub @6:29 Mr. G!
	⚡ 6:39am tom tom the pipers son: ↳ fred @6:36 there's bound to be a bicyclist in one of these performances...
	⚡ 6:42am Spikey BXL: We kill the 🔥
	6:43am TDK60: ↳ Brian in UK @6:24 Hi again Brian. I'm blocked from seeing that list. Is there any way to see it otherwise?
	6:44am Mike Sin: The only positive of having to get up and drive to the airport on this holiday weekend and deal with maniacal New Jersey traffic is getting a chance to listen to a lot this excellent show.
	6:45am fred: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @6:39 Not this one, is was minimal and darker (nod to the Leonard Cohen track playing now). At first maybe, but it wouldn't have fit (the balls in pétanque echoed astronomy in ways a bicycle wouldn't) It was a tight show, despite the cartoon theme
	⚡ 6:45am Brian in UK: ↳ TDK60 @6:43 Not sure, if Brian D can see it not sure why.
	6:45am Brian D: ↳ Mike Sin @6:44 Thanks Mike! Great to have you. Drive safe.

	6:48am Matthew: ↳ TDK60 @6:43 I'm sure we could easily make our own list.
	⚡ 6:48am Brian in UK: ↳ Brian D @6:46 TDK60, that may be why. It is the only newspaper I have ever subscribed to.
	6:49am Brian D: ↳ Danny in Poughkeepsie @6:47 Danny, good morning.
	6:51am TDK60: ↳ Matthew @6:48 Good morning Matthew. Yes, I can help start that. Let me sharpen my pencil. Now that I think about it, I may need more than one pencil.
	⚡ 6:52am Brian in UK: The bill has not passed into legislation yet. Think it was the second reading, but it passed that.
	6:53am Angel DiMaria: Dance me is the name of the performance
	⚡ 6:54am Spikey BXL: ↳ Danny in Poughkeepsie @6:47 Good morning, Danny! Sending you strength and love. Hello to the regular pals as well, and the new pals. About to go for a cold sunny hike with you in my ears.

	7:02am Brian D: ↳ Brian in UK @6:52 Ah, thank you for the clarification and correction.
	7:07am fred: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @6:56 Cyclists kill or get killed often in Paris. They're reckless, I've seen one stop at a light and other cyclists beating her up for it (hipster types mind you, the kind with their dad in law cop on speed dial) Bad memories of Critical Mass, when cyclists would drive their SUVs from exurbia then take off the bikes and hunt pedestrians to beat them up for objecting to their parking space during the workweek
	7:08am morphe': ↳ Brian D @7:01 FG losing seats, SF doing better than expected[but % ahead may shift to FF when the % Transfer votes [choices 2,3,4 =>] kick in and Hutch is still in the running for the 4th seat in Dub North Inner City...
	7:10am Brian D: ↳ morphe' @7:08 Good news about SF. Guess they recovered from their "scandal" (in quotes, because it is tame compared with what passes here).
	⚡ 7:11am Peter from Saranac Lake NY: Good morning Brian and newsies.
	⚡ 7:12am Peter from Saranac Lake NY: ↳ fred @7:07 Whoa. I thought I had it bad in the US. One time, a motorist forced me off the road so he could ask directions. (He got a piece of my mind instead.)
	7:14am Fredericks: ↳ Hoboken Jack @6:46 Jack, is that you?
	7:15am Brian D: ↳ Peter from Saranac Lake NY @7:11 Greetings, Peter.
	⚡ 7:16am tom tom the pipers son: ↳ fred @7:07 a cycling recklessness is beginning to happen here with e-bikes that travel at the speed of cars but rarely pause much less stop for stoplights. you have to be more wary of them than the car drivers...also e-bikes on sidewalks, completely lawless....you describe a very particular twisted-ness
	7:16am rich in angleton: good morning Brian and everyone in radio land!
	7:17am Brian D: ↳ rich in angleton @7:16 Good morning, Rich.
	⚡ 7:18am Brian in UK: ↳ Brian D @7:10 This happened yesterday over here, a relatively small affair compared to the list of Conservative failures. For later. www.youtube.com...

	8:20am Brian D: ↳ Re6ecca @8:18 Hi Becky! Good morning.
	⚡ 8:21am NotARealDoctor: ↳ Song: "Clip: NBC-Australia bans social media for under 16s" Good but bad is a very good way to describe it. There are a very few good things that social media provides, such as a community for kids who feel isolated in a closed off local community (eg queer kids in a fundamentalist christian area) but the ills of social media addiction, online bullying, etc seem to outweigh what little good there is
	⚡ 8:24am Don in Tampere: Hi all, back from a pre-dusk walk along the lake. Brian, if your cataract surgery goes anything like mine, you will be pleased. It's only 2 days since the operation but I'm seeing already a lot better than before.
	8:26am Brian D: ↳ NotARealDoctor @8:21 I think this is one of those things where "unintended consequences" occur.
