“«Mi Religión» es una canción que habla sobre mi religión que es la música, el amor. Es una canción muy especial porque menciona uno de los primeros momentos en que me paré en un escenario”, compartió Lafourcade, quien grabó el clip en las icónicas calles de Guanajuato y San Miguel de Allende.

Un video que ante la situación de distancia social se lee como una carta de amor para la esperanza de pronto volver a dar vida a esos momentos de alegría que tanto representan a México y a su cultura. Algo que Natalia no ha dejado de compartir en la cuenta oficial de IG de @UnCantoPorMéxico, en la cual la compositora da a conocer detalles del disfrute que vivió en el proceso creativo, humano y de producción que requirió un lanzamiento de esta envergadura.

Letra de «Mi Religión»

Desde que vi tus ojos me enamoré
Me enamoré
Me enamoré

Desde que oí tu canto sabía que
No había manera
De abandonarte, mi amor

Porque toda la luz y colores
De un cielo azul haces brillar
Eres tú mi religión

A veces me pregunto por qué me alejo
De tu alegría, misterios e inspiración
Siento un dolor, un amargo arrepentimiento

Tú eres mi hogar
La religión en mi existir
Eres tú

Música, tú
Mi religión
Una vida no basta
Para entregarte mi amor

Música, tú
Mi perdición
Una vida no basta
Para entregarte mi amor

Desde que vi tus ojos me enamoré
Me enamoré
Me enamoré

En tu primer abrazo recuerdo que
Mi cuerpo vivo
Y temblorosa mi voz
Porque todo en este universo
Cobró razón

En mi existir
Eres tú mi religión

A veces me pregunto por qué me alejo
De tu alegría, misterios e inspiración
Siento un dolor, un amargo arrepentimiento

Tú eres mi hogar
La religión en mi existir
Eres tú

Música, tú
Mi religión
Una vida no basta
Para entregarte mi amor

Música, tú
Mi perdición
Una vida no basta
Para entregarte mi amor

Música, tú
Mi religión
Una vida no basta
Para entregarte mi amor

Música, tú
Mi perdición
Una vida no basta
Para entregarte mi amor

Ay, me enamoré
Ay, me enamoré
Una vida no basta, lo sé
Para darte todito mi amor

Ay, me enamoré
Una vida no basta, lo sé
Para darte todito mi amor

(¡Yija!)

They live in the hills to the east of us, all state or regional park land with no human settlements. I understand that they can be pretty aggressive up there, but they’re out of their normal range here. Also, that one (and his buddy, not pictured) are pretty young.

Years ago, some friends of ours had an attack turkey. He was a wild one, and I can’t remember all this time later whether he just adopted them, and joined their poultry, or whether he was injured and they helped him heal. At any rate, he tolerated their family, but any other vehicle pulling in the driveway, and he was on the windshield, banging at it and daring them to come out with their hands up. Some member of the family would hear the ruckus and come out to rescue their guests.

He roosted in their barn at night, which was quite a safe place for a turkey.

Belgium counts cases that are suspected but not confirmed — so it includes many deaths that are not counted as such elsewhere

Belgium has surged to the top of the grim leaderboard because authorities decided to be radically transparent, if perhaps a bit speculative, about the toll from the novel coronavirus. They include not only deaths that are confirmed to be virus-related, but even those suspected of being linked, whether the victim was tested or not.

As of Wednesday, Belgium, with a population of over 11.4 million, has counted a total 6,262 deaths from COVID-19 — roughly 540 per million citizens — and more than half of those deaths were in nursing homes. Of those 52%, just 4.5% were confirmed as having been infected, yet all are counted in the national tally.

Well we have an almost complete blank on reporting today. Perhaps little white kittens farting hymns have shut down our health services. In any case, we have very little new accurate information.

Sidebar:

Do I want the President to do die of the virus?

No. Do I want him to suffer from it?

Oh, yes, yes, I do. I want him intubated and desperate to think he might die. I want him to fucking suffer. He made decisions that absolutely fucked all of us, and I want the virus to fuck him right back, long and hard. I want him to know the fear of what the rest of us are feeling, but for fucking real. I want him unable to talk. I want his eyes as wide as fucking saucers, contemplating his own death.

Rant off.

Goodnight all, from beautiful South Austin, where we had a lovely day. Everything is in bloom (well, the Bluebonnets are pretty much spent and popping their seed pods, but the Larkspur is rocking).

Talk atcha tomorrow.

Oh, and Teleskiguy- nice pen. Good catch!

Harris is seemingly both the best choice for VP and for AG. That’s my only issue. I really want to see her leading a newly revitalized Justice Department, purged of the GOP criminals in their quest to put all these Trump Crime Family MFer’s in prison.

Sheriff’s deputy fired, faces charges after leading armed white mob to black teen’s home (New York Daily News)

A peaceful evening was shattered last week for a South Carolina woman and her high school son as they found themselves fending off an armed mob seeking a missing teenage girl who the two knew nothing about.

The group included a sheriff’s deputy who has now lost his job and will face charges, reported WECT-TV.

New Hanover County Sheriff’s deputy Deputy J.T. Kita will be charged with forcible trespass, breaking and entering, New Hanover County District Attorney Ben David said Friday. He will also be charged with willful failure to discharge duties related to his failure to uphold the responsibility of being a sworn officer, NBC News reported.

Kita has also been fired, David said.

Another group member, Austin Wood, will be charged with going armed to the terror of the community, reported WECT.

They were trying to find 15-year-old Lekayda Kempisty, who had gone missing but was later found safe, according to the Associated Press. They sought someone named Josiah.

Note especially the article does not quite clarify what went on with this armed terroristic mob who invaded the South Carolina woman’s home.

The sheriff’s deputy who led the charge is from New Hanover County, according to the article.

New Hanover County is in North Carolina. He was out of his jurisdiction operating under the colour of law.

TL;DR version: Police chased a man who was speeding in a Porsche was finally pulled over in rural Victoria state. While four police officers were out of their cars while the man was pulled over, a truck driver lost control of his truck and slammed into the crowd.

The police officers were killed, the drivers of the truck and the Porsche survived. The Porsche driver filmed and mocked the police officers while they lay dying.

He was arrested later and charged with reckless conduct and obstructing justice. The truck driver was charged with negligent driving.

What is it with douchecanoes and expensive cars?

A 19-year-old man has been charged with street racing after the Mercedes he was driving was clocked doing 308 km/h on an Ontario highway.

“This is the fastest speed that I’ve ever heard of,” said Sgt. Kerry Schmidt in a video posted to Twitter.

The veteran Ontario Provincial Police officer said he was “pretty much speechless” when he heard how fast the car was going before police managed to pull it over on the Queen Elizabeth Way (QEW) in Burlington, Ont., around 10 p.m. Saturday.

“This could have turned into the most devastating, fatal crash ever.”

And yet, I’m genuinely surprised that he faces any consequences at all. Accountability is not something I associate with members of law enforcement.

My guess is New Hanover County figured out that one of their uniformed deputies going into South Carolina could cause North Carolina to sue them for violating their state boundary (in addition to the suit they are likely to face from the family).

For the math nerds here:

Meet the statistician who cracked Tim Hortons’ digital Roll Up the Rim and won 67 free coffees (CBC Radio, text article)

Every year Tim Horton’s has a “roll up the rim” contest where you do that with one of their paper cups and a prize is revealed.

Since many of their restaurants are closed right now due to the pandemic, they released a cell phone app which allowed you to get “virtual rims.”

Because of the way Tim Horton’s structured their rules for the app, the statistician figured out the best way to get the most prizes (coffee or doughnuts).

He won sixty-seven coffees and twenty-seven doughnuts.

He wanted to donate his winnings to hospital employees, so he contacted Tim Horton’s to do that. Because of the way the app is structured, the winnings have to be claimed at a restaurant from his cell phone.

Instead, Tim Horton’s made a cash donation to a hospital in his area (much larger than the value of the coffee and doughnuts).

The article explains how he figured out how to maximise the number of prizes he could win. The challenge started simply as an academic publication asking him to explain the contest from the point of view of a statistician. Being bored at home, he dug into the way the contest was structured to figure out how to get more prizes than the odds would predict.

Biden op-ed in The Washington Post: “White House coronavirus response presents us with a false choice”

“Instead of unifying the country to accelerate our public health response and get economic relief to those who need it, President Trump is reverting to a familiar strategy of deflecting blame and dividing Americans. His goal is as obvious as it is craven: He hopes to split the country into dueling camps, casting Democrats as doomsayers hoping to keep America grounded and Republicans as freedom fighters trying to liberate the economy.
..
Why does the president insist on trying to turn this into yet another line of division, pitting strained, grieving Americans against one another across manufactured battle lines of “health” and “the economy”? Everybody knows that we can’t revive the latter unless we safeguard the former — and pretending otherwise is the most transparent of political ploys. Instead of once again seeking to divide us, Trump should be working to get Americans the same necessary protections he has gotten for himself.

It’s the right thing to do, and the only path to truly getting the economy back on track

Biden op-ed in The Washington Post: “White House coronavirus response presents us with a false choice”

And

It’s been more than two months since Trump claimed that “anybody that wants a test can get a test.” It was a baldfaced lie when he said it, and it still isn’t remotely true. If we’re going to have thriving workplaces, restaurants, stores and parks, we need widespread testing. Trump can’t seem to provide it — to say nothing of worker safety protocols, consistent health guidelines or clear federal leadership to coordinate a responsible reopening

lawhawk  May 11, 2020 • 5:58:41am

Fuck Trump, Fuck the GOP, and Fuck Trump’s enablers in the media.

He was unhinged the entire weekend tweeting up a fucking storm all while we learn that there are a number of covid19 confirmed cases in the WH and Trumpworld itself. None of this is surprising given that no one in the inner circle social distances, wears masks, or gives a shit about anything going on. They hold meetings with the Defense Department, and none of those guys were wearing masks or social distancing either.

Everyone’s doing what Trump wants done, which is the exact opposite of what the health experts say we should be doing. It’s value signaling to everyone else that this isn’t serious or that those measures shouldn’t be taken seriously.

We see this at the state and local level too, as know nothing asswipes are willing to watch a segment of their constituents die so that they get haircuts, or go to the beach, or the gym.

Whether it’s DeSantis in Florida or local representatives in NJ urging people to go out and rebel against the state’s stay-at-home orders, these fucknuts are endangering the welfare of all state residents.

Wearing a mask isn’t a restraint on your civil rights. Shutting down businesses because of a public health risk is also within the rights of the state and localities. The Supreme Court has swatted away a handful of these cases so far in the past week, upholding the state restrictions. But the problem is that Trump doesn’t care how many get sick and die so that the economy reopens, and people are following suit at the state and local level even as they’re reopening while cases are on the upswing outside of the NYC metro area.

It’s a recipe for disaster, and we aren’t doing nearly enough tests to make that feasible. South Korea started reopening for business, and is already closing things back up because of outbreaks associated with businesses that reopened.

You Should Run - Nebraska State Senator Megan Hunt (You Should Run Podcast, 2019)

In 2018, 32 year old Megan Hunt became the first woman to represent the 8th district in the Nebraska State Senate. In just a few months in office, Senator Hunt is changing the narrative in Nebraska politics, advocating for better wages and civil rights for all people in the state, and developing a following across the country.

In this podcast, Megan Hunt, the first openly LGBTQ person ever elected in Nebraska, talks about how the nonpartisan nature of Nebraska politics makes governing better in many ways and allows people to rally around issues that they may not focus on as much otherwise. She also talks about why we need more people to run for office in every district across the country and why everyone should take politics seriously in 2019 and beyond.

morning all

despite all the gop wishful thinking, the “economy” will not ‘open up’ until

- people have money to spend
- they feel safe spending it

businesses are closing left and right. most will not come back. nor will those jobs.

if remaining businesses are working at say 50% capacity, that also means 50% less workers needed.

most businesses cannot survive on a 50% or more capacity cut.

if enough people arent buying cars, flying, staying in hotels, then those supporting industries are going to shrink too. the ripples will be everywhere

Kamala Harris was born 1964.
Elizabeth Warren was born 1949.

Even if I totally ignored any and all other differences between them… that alone is enough for me to think Kamala’s a better choice than Elizabeth.

Biden’s choice has to be someone who can take up the torch in 2024.

No, it’s not. It’s because his ignorant, moron filled base would want his head on a pike if he wore a mask.

He only saw Covid as a threat to the economy and thus to his re-election.

He did not grasp that people would rally around a President in times of crisis, no matter what happened to the economy, if that President were showing true, resolute leadership.

Because he has no concept of what leadership means, nor does he have the people around him to delegate to.

Kamala Harris is *only* 15 years younger than Elizabeth Warren?
Weird: Harris seems to be so much “younger” - Of course, by the gerontocratic standards of the Senate, she’s still just a kid…

Something else that occurred to me: picking Harris as a VP nom is going to be a nice poke-in-the-eye to the Bernout fringe and lefty bitch-bots who spent most of the last primary campaign whining “..but Kamala’s a COP!!!” online, and trying to make her out to be some sort of fascist over her tenure as CA AG.

More than 70 people who tested positive for the coronavirus since an April 24 rally at the Wisconsin state Capitol indicated they had attended a large gathering, but the state Department of Health Services can’t say if they were at the rally because it is not tracking specific events.

Department spokeswoman Elizabeth Goodsitt said Friday that when someone tests positive for COVID-19 they are asked if they attended any large gatherings. But the department did not add the April 24 rally, which attracted about 1,500 people, to the list of specific questions.

if remaining businesses are working at say 50% capacity, that also means 50% less workers needed.

most businesses cannot survive on a 50% or more capacity cut.

If they all go 24-hour, maybe charge a premium for afternoon appointments, that will help.

it’s not only about social distancing - it’s about air flow in enclosed spaces

single asymptomatic carrier in a restaurant environment (see below). The infected person (A1) sat at a table and had dinner with 9 friends. Dinner took about 1 to 1.5 hours. During this meal, the asymptomatic carrier released low-levels of virus into the air from their breathing. Airflow (from the restaurant’s various airflow vents) was from right to left. Approximately 50% of the people at the infected person’s table became sick over the next 7 days. 75% of the people on the adjacent downwind table became infected. And even 2 of the 7 people on the upwind table were infected (believed to happen by turbulent airflow). No one at tables E or F became infected, they were out of the main airflow from the air conditioner on the right to the exhaust fan on the left of the room. (Ref)

there is just so much we dont know yet
so much that hasnt been considered

the risk is possibly / likely long term if not permanent lung, heart, etc damage
the risk is possible death

Military mindset currently is that at bases inside “open” states they still limit their personnel to not go into the towns.

(Getting this via other communities that include military personnel who are still under restrictions. They can go fishing now, but still need special permission to go beyond 35 miles from base, and can easily get themselves put into two-week quarantine.)

A lot of evidence suggests that formal re-opening policies are only loosely correlated with people’s behavior.

FiveThirtyEight had an article similar to this, saying that studies of mobility data showed that people started staying at home before, or even without, state stay-at-home orders:

Cuebiq, a private data company, assessed the movement of people via GPS-enabled mobile devices across the U.S.1 If you look at movement data in a cross-section of states President Trump won in the southeast in 2016 — Tennessee, Georgia, Louisiana, North Carolina, South Carolina and Kentucky — 23 percent of people were staying home on average during the first week of March. That proportion jumped to 47 percent a month later across these six states.

And when their well-publicized demonstrations for FREEDOM!!!! don’t immediately* jump-start the economy back to “Feb. 1 reset normal”, they are just going to get angrier; obsess more with RWNJ propaganda about how the whole “virus hoax” is just a Sinister Plot To Destroy America; get even more aggressive with their demonstrations, and end up even angrier that the SARS-CoV-2 virus isn’t listening to Fox News or OANN, and start flailing around looking for Someone Else to blame.

When I saw Woodstock at the drive-in, the double feature included Peter Fonda’s movie about an acid trip. That didn’t translate very well to the drive-in experience either.

Our only one around here closed up ~10 years ago. Was a flea market for a while after that. Hasn’t been used for anything in the last couple years that I can see. I saw a lot of movies there through the 70’s, either inside in a car or sitting just outside the back fence. You could almost hear everything being said from the speakers on the posts along the back lane from the fence.

GO, JOE!!

Our former VP has a dandy Op-Ed screed up at the Washington Post.

There are paywall issues at the WaPo site, so I’ll highlight the nut graf (actually, his lede):

The coronavirus, to date, has taken the lives of more than 79,000 Americans. One of every 5 U.S. workers has filed for unemployment — with the unemployment rate now the highest since the Great Depression. It is an extraordinary moment — the kind that begs for urgent, steady, empathetic, unifying leadership.

But instead of unifying the country to accelerate our public health response and get economic relief to those who need it, President Trump is reverting to a familiar strategy of deflecting blame and dividing Americans. His goal is as obvious as it is craven: He hopes to split the country into dueling camps, casting Democrats as doomsayers hoping to keep America grounded and Republicans as freedom fighters trying to liberate the economy.

***

If Trump and his team understand how critical testing is to their safety — and they seem to, given their own behavior — why are they insisting that it’s unnecessary for the American people?

And why does the president insist on trying to turn this into yet another line of division, pitting strained, grieving Americans against one another across manufactured battle lines of “health” and “the economy”? Everybody knows that we can’t revive the latter unless we safeguard the former — and pretending otherwise is the most transparent of political ploys. Instead of once again seeking to divide us, Trump should be working to get Americans the same necessary protections he has gotten for himself.

It’s the right thing to do, and the only path to truly getting the economy back on track

We’d make an absolute fuckton of popcorn with lots of butter (Enough to fill a paper grocery bag) and take it, along with our own personal popcorn bowls (They were aluminum with a popcorn design on them. Mine was silver with purple popcorn on it.) We brought Shasta pop too. Cherry cola or raspberry for me. Or maybe grape.

Us kids wore pajamas because it was a thing. Not sure why it was a thing, but it sure was fun. I guess it made it more special. <3

We’d go to see Disney movies, always a double feature with cartoons. So it would be something like “Jungle Book” as the main feature and maybe “The Shaggy Dog” or “The Absent Minded Professor” as the first feature.

I was always so excited to go, and I almost always stayed awake for the whole thing. But even if I slept through the main movie, it was still the most fun ever.

Dude thinks drive-ins are the wave of the future for movies and concerts. Perfect social distancing, but still doing something with other people.

Do you remember the moment it got dark, everyone would honk until the picture started? :D

A nearby town opened a 4-screen first-run drive in several years ago, but it didn’t make it—closed just before the CV19 hit. Alabama heat and bugs would make the season pretty short.

re: #200 Eclectic Cyborg

I do miss Drive-ins. Although I suppose that now that we can have 70 inch TV screens in our living rooms, there’s not quite as much motivation to go to a Drive-In these days.

I seem to remember most of the point of drive-ins was your parents weren’t there, and the rest of the audience had their own thing going. You and your date had your own little private cubicle…

re: #220 Decatur Deb

Did you miss the first run of 2001?

First went to see 2001 when I was in jr. high. We were sitting towards the front at a Cinerama theater. We didn’t know what was going on but it was so cool to watch. Totally immersive.

Second time I saw it was about four years later in a run down 99 cent theater. I had told all my friends how cool it was so we watched this tiny scratched up print with all my hip friends. I was really embarrassed.

re: #205 Backwoods_Sleuth

Ft Campbell/Christian County is one the most infected Kentucky counties. It’s right across the state line from Nashville.

Just a slight correction from a Tennessean: Clarksville/Montgomery County (home of my alma mater, Austin Peay State University [“Let’s Go Peay!” ;-P]) butts up to Ft. Campbell and Christian County, not Nashville/Davidson County; us here in Nashville are about 40-50 miles SE down I-24 (and two counties away) from the greater Clarksville/Hopkinsville/Ft. Campbell area.

Took a 5yr-old and a 3yr-old to its first run. They didn’t blink during the landing sequence.

The very first film my parents took me to at a drive-in I recall was named Blood Feast. This may explain my warped view of movies.

My wife has provided me with handy NY drive-in info.

Although New York state was one of the first 10 states to host a drive-in theater (the first one opened in NY in 1938 on Long Island), the Empire State was still a late bloomer for drive-ins. Generally, across America, the peak years for drive-in theaters were the late 1950’s. However, New York did not reach its peak number of drive-in theaters until 1963 when it boasted about 150 drive-ins in the state. Since then though, only about 81% of the drive-ins in the state have closed. And while that may seem like a very large number, the average is well over 90% for the rest of the country. Today, New York state still has 28 remaining drive-ins in operation which is the largest number of any state (Pennsylvania is second with 27).

We’re #1! We’re #1! We’re #1! :)

And then my local Sheriff stating he will not uphold any law keeping business from reopening too soon.

There is talk going around again about someone buying the local drive-in and reopening it as a drive-in again. This talk has happened before and never came to be, but if it does we will be tied.
