A Place To Bury Strangers, the noisietst band in NY

Strange days have found us
Strange days have tracked us down
They're going to destroy
Our casual joys
We shall go on playing
Or find a new town
Yeah!
Strange eyes fill strange rooms
Voices will signal their tired end
The hostess is grinning
Her guests sleep from sinning
Hear me talk of sin
And you know this is it

To me, the timing appears to indicate that Billstime has been replaced by Starr-Bills. If this is true that it is the same poster, I think both sides of the political spectrum on PPP should appreciate the step. Starr-Bills seems as much on the left side as Billstime, but his argumentation is definitively improved.
If you are Starr-Bills and did not previously post as Billstime, my apologies. I appreciate your contributions.

Sundown dazzling day
Gold through my eyes
But my eyes turned within
Only see
Starless and bible black
Ice blue silver sky
Fades into grey
To a grey hope that oh years to be
Starless and bible black -
Monday, nothing
Tuesday, nothing
Wednesday and Thursday nothing
Friday, for a change
a little more nothing
Saturday once more nothing
reading nothing
writing nothing
even arithmetic nothing
geography, philosophy, history, nothing
social anthropology a lot of nothing

OMG, not Shabbos Kestenbaum!
Not "Dr Nancy" (no last name or credential even mentioned in the story).
Who the hell are these people? Who cares?
This is not Dick Cheney, former Republican VP. Or even Tulsi Gabbard. These are ... nobodies.
"Dr Nancy" has a very moderate history on social media, especially "X" ("truthlovingdr"). I assume she is an MD, but her specialty is never mentioned (maybe retired). She is an anti-vaxxer and long-time supporter of RFK Jr. Thus, her switch to Trump is no surprise. If this is the best example of new Trump devotees, then there is not much the Democrats have to fear.

She came in through the bathroom window
Protected by a silver spoon
But now she sucks her thumb and wanders
By the banks of her own lagoon
Didn't anybody tell her?
Didn't anybody see?
Sunday's on the phone to Monday
Tuesday's on the phone to me -
Take the train from Casablanca going south
Blowing smoke rings from the corners of my my, my, my, my mouth
Colored cottons hang in air
Charming cobras in the square
Striped Djellebas we can wear at home, well let me hear you now
Don't you know we're riding on the Marrakesh Express

Woman is the ni**er of the world
Yes she is, think about it
Woman is the ni**er of the world
Think about it, do something about itWe make her paint her face and dance
If she won't be a slave, we say that she don't love us
If she's real, we say she's trying to be a man
While putting her down we pretend that she is above us
Woman is the ni**er of the world, yes she is
If you don't believe me take a look to the one you're with -
I went to shake hands with the president in Miami
I went to a rock show to see Mick Jagger
And you'd never believe it, surprise of my life
They had paint on their faces, just like my mommy's -
I may look like a city slicker
Shinin' up through his shoes
Underneath I'm just a cotton picker
Pickin' out a mess of blues
Show me where I start
Find a horse and cart
I'm just a country boy
Country boy at heart -
And then Lord Donald he took his wife
And he sat her on his knee
Saying, "Who do you like the best of us
Matty Groves or me?"And then up spoke his own dear wife
Never heard to speak so free
"I'd rather a kiss from dead Matty's lips
Than you or your finery" -

"White Rabbit" by The Great Society, Grace Slick's band pre-Jefferson Airplane. Despite the 6+ minutes of the track, the song itself sees to be played faster here than in the JA version. However, it comes with a 4+ min Arabic-sounding intro with Grace on oboe.

Now listen, Baby
And try to understand
That tying you is fine
And whipping you is grand
Now I just can't tell you
How much fun it's been
You make me feel twenty-five again
But I can't leave my wooden wife for you, sugar
I got a split level house with a wonderful view, sugar
A couple next door who do the things we do, sugar
And every Saturday we sit around the pool -
To illustrate my non-familiarity with nowadays' movies. Walking through the living room I had a cursory glance at a movie the kidsv were watching, and I thought: well, another Asian karate/action B movie. But I was immediately corrected: No, this is "Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings", the ninth-highest grossing movie of 2021. It was even nominated for an Oscar for Best Visual Effects.

My first thought when I saw this pic: Good that Valdes-Scantling has rather broad shoulders. Otherwise we would need two lines for his name.

In general, I share the OP's sentiment, with a few exceptions. As a fan of Science Fiction movies, I enjoyed "Blade Runner 2049" and "Annihilation". I am also looking forward to seeing the new Alien "interquel".
And there was an addition to my personal Best Western list, "News of the World".

Only Fanduel has the Jets ahead of the Bills in the table linked in the OP. Of the other six betting places, 4 have the Bills ahead and 2 have Bills and Jets tied.

The fat lady of Limbourg looked at the samples that we sent
And furrowed her brow
You would never believe that she'd tasted royalty and fame
If you saw her nowBut her sense of taste is such that she'll distinguish with her tongue
The subtleties a spectrograph would miss
And announce her decision while demanding her reward

Pry the depressing feeling that we're wasting the most physically talented QB to ever play the game of football's career.
I agree with your post, and I actually agree with most of your posts on this board. But could you please do me a favor and drop the word "pry" in his context? You are using it quite often, and it does not make any sense anywhere. The expression you are looking for could be "pray tell", which is rather archaic but at leasty makes sense, something like "please explain".

When I was a postdoc in Rochester in the 1990s, we went to visit NYC (by Amtrak, which was a very enjoyable experience compared to flying). Overall, I did not like NYC very much; due to the excessive number of panhandlers, I was constantly afraid of getting mugged. For me, the saving grace was the MoMA. I love modern art, and I spent a whole day at the MoMA (still not enough, by far. As a side note to Buffalo residents, if you are interested in arts or specifically modern arts, you are lucky to have the Albright Knox, which is superior to other arts museums even in much bigger cities.)
Back to the topic. On our last day in NYC, we visited Central Park. A group of rollerskaters passed me, and suddenly I heard my name called out. One of the skaters had been a fellow grad student back in Luebeck (Germany) where we got our PhDs. Considering the fact that the total number of grad students in the lab during that time was 5-6 per year, the probability to meet one of them by chance 5000 miles away from Germany was virtually nil. We had a drink and then we went our separate ways. He is now retiring from Columbia University in NYC; I am still doing research and teaching at Texas Tech.
