Time to ride


This is my favorite version of the song, but there's lots of covers and some of them are... interesting. Two funny things to note about this song, the original Allman Brothers version didn't chart, and this version falls into the other covers section of the Wikipedia page. Not sure which version I heard first, this or the Allman Bros, after all they're a staple of classic rock stations and often show up on rock stations, both of which I tend to listen to, but I think it really works as a country song especially when done by Hank Williams Jr.

Rivian R1T is proving it's more than just an everyday EV truck


There are two electric vehicle companies I'm bullish on, and Rivian is one of them, they are slowly and quietly growing especially in niches.

Some traveling music today


So, I don't have much to say about this song, heard this version, then tripped over the original by Old Crow Medicine show, which is great, but boy is there a lot to say about it. Seriously, just hit the Wikipedia page, this song had a wild gestation. Oh, and I didn't realize it was the band Lady Antebellum providing the backing vocals.

Is planting trees 'DEI'? Trump administration cuts nationwide tree-planting effort


text.npr.org/g-s1-55090

In a letter terminating the contract, the U.S. Forest Service stated the program "no longer aligns with agency priorities regarding diversity, equity and inclusion." The U.S. Department of Agriculture, which houses the Forest Service, said in an emailed statement that the agency was complying with President Trump's executive orders.

Not surprised that this is a cover


I mean Dwight Yoakam does like his covers, but this Elvis tune doesn't seem to get many covers, certainly nothing as big as this.

Reminder....
Diasp.org - "two weeks' notice".

Most who have been 'based' here have relocated, weeks/months ago, and it has been seamless.

For those hesitating, confused, or weighing some other platform entirely, it need not be any more difficult than picking/joining a new *pora instance/pod, copy/paste your bio if you like it, re-post your familiar avatar (if you want/makes it easy to be recognized), pick those interests / # tags, and re-add contacts, using all the info from "here" to easily find aspects, people, etc. Once set, that's it.
It will look exactly the same. Your new pod will send out a #newhere post which may bring some new contacts interested in your interests, plus remind ongoing contacts to re-add you at the new address. And done. Use this time to find/add those you've missed.

Thank you @David - for years & years of devotion, hassles, effort, etc. And generosity. Enjoy your new spaces!

Checks his crypto...


...down to $48, such a shame.

For those who don't know, I hold a little bit of crypto that comes with a bit of a story. A few years back, when the hype was high, I decided to invest $100 in crypto for shits 'n giggles. I mean I could afford to lose that money, so why not? Few months later it hit $225, so I cashed out my original investment, and left the interest to see what would happen. Since then it's been as low as $16, got up to I think around $73 or so, and now it's at $48.

Seeing as how it was the interest, ain't my money, and I don't really care what happens, I mean if'n it gets over $200 I'll cash out some maybe, but who knows, I never gamble what I can't afford to lose, so just like my stocks, small investments that don't matter, but who knows, maybe one day I'll wake up rich.
