	3:48am BTCJune: Paulo yea brother I’m in Philly the Mecca of the east coast haha
	⚡ ♥ 3:54am fred: Later today I'll go see my father and try to convince him to vote for Macron. Ugh. It's not an easy sell, and not one I want to make. But I see abstaining as a dangerous if morally satisfying choice. Cowardly in a way, not wanting to get dirty while hoping enough people pick up the slack only to be then called out as traitors
	♥ 3:57am Brian D: Could you all hear my dog Lira drinking water?
	♥ 3:57am Brian D: Fred, I know they expected low turnout in the first round. Run-off the same?

	♥ 4:06am _Ike_: I had some of the best Vietnamese food I’ve ever eaten in a horrible neighborhood in Philadelphia once, on Kensington Ave. under elevated tracks, an area filled with junkies. The place closes at 8:30 because the neighborhood is so bad.
	⚡ ♥ 4:07am Paulo AD: Fred, I hear you brother. But a one but le pen
	⚡ ♥ 4:08am fred: @Brian: I don't know, turnout will be key: Le Pen voters will definitely show up, but on the left there is a big feeling of being played for fools and not wanting to give Macron what he will call a mandate (also some on the left want Le Pen to win to shake things up and get people in the streets, of course they're not first in the line of fire there, and probably won't get in those streets)
	⚡ ♥ 4:08am Paulo AD: Hey toute how are ya

	⚡ ♥ 4:12am Paulo AD: Fred I would offer some hope, but after seeing the shit show that is UK politics :( There is often an argument/ heated debate about left wing politics in our house, mostly about who's more left haha
	⚡ ♥ 4:12am Paulo AD: Usa left is basically center for the UK, but keri is off the charts left
	4:12am BTCJune: Plug your rss url into Fountain App and I’d happily stream you sats!!!

Hello out there Fred Paulo Scott Brian & friends
	⚡ ♥ 4:15am fred: @Paulo: Like DSA left, the milder Dissent crowd (I'm a subscriber), or further left?
	4:16am BTCJune: “Stream u sats” meaning pay you bitcoin directly from my phone to your phone in a streaming fashion. 100 sats a minute would be like a penny it’s soooo gooopod
	⚡ ♥ 4:17am fred: @Toutevoix: Where in Provence? I spent some childhood years in Sorgues, near Avignon
	⚡ ♥ 4:19am Paulo AD: Keri just described the DSA as tits haha. She was very active campaigning for Obama last time she was home. She cried, like literally weeping sobbing, and got drunk for two days when orange face got elected
	4:21am Rob Gee: Currently re-reading an old fave- 'Mysteries' by Knut Hamsun
	⚡ ♥ 4:22am fred: @Paulo: You're the lefter by that measure: you got drunk for far more than two days in that "administration"
	⚡ ♥ 4:22am Paulo AD: Never read it Rob, what's the story? I just finished slaughterhouse 5, very disappointing
	♥ 4:24am Brian D: @Fred, from way back. Some people on the left in the US said the same when Trump won. We saw how that worked out. I've not read that @Rob. Adding it to the list!
	4:24am Rob Gee: A mysterious man in a yellow suit visits a little village
	4:25am Rob Gee: Considered one of the earliest of post-modern writing
	4:25am Toutevoix: Hey Fred, was born in Avignon, spent childhood close to Forcalquier, Lure mountain is muy spot biking! )
	⚡ ♥ 4:25am Paulo AD: Well, yes haha. I remember coming home from work, there was a teails of microwave food, pizza and empty wine bottles into the bedroom. She was so sad
	♥ 4:28am Brian D: @Paulo. Vonnegut... I liked him when I read him 40 years ago. But not sure the stuff holds up.
	⚡ ♥ 4:29am Paulo AD: Brian narrators voice it's doesn't haha
	⚡ ♥ 4:30am Paulo AD: Toute one of the homes of King arthur, there and wales
	⚡ ♥ 4:32am Paulo AD: Toute, wasn't that home to the pope during the dual papcy right?
	4:34am listener: <3
	⚡ ♥ 4:34am fred: @Paulo: You're right about the pope thing, I have many early memories of that popes' palace garden (I went back once and still remembered the place, that was weird)
	4:35am Toutevoix: yep there you can visit the big medieval palace and in the court you can see theater and dance play, it's home of theater and arts a place for Shakespeare & friends )) a windy city with a strong trad of theater, yes the pope city but since then they returned Roma
	⚡ ♥ 4:37am Paulo AD: Fred, I'm just being nice.... I know it is haha I spent many years studying it

	4:41am Toutevoix: like this Jane's Addiction melody intro sounded like an Hal Hartley score to me, trust me
	♥ 4:43am Scott67: I stayed in Avignon when hitchhiking around France.
	⚡ ♥ 4:43am fred: @Toutevoix: You might understand this: there's a place up there that was an imposing grotto with a river coming out when I was a small child. Not as impressive as an adult
	4:45am Toutevoix: childhood fred
	⚡ ♥ 4:46am Paulo AD: Jane's addiction are a severely underrated band
	⚡ ♥ 4:47am Paulo AD: Fred, sounds like scottys butt hahH
	♥ 4:48am Scott67: My grotto is drying up with age mate.
	⚡ ♥ 4:49am Paulo AD: Needs more curry haha
	♥ 4:50am Scott67: Always room for curry!
	⚡ ♥ 4:50am Paulo AD: Mmmmmmm curry. Know what I'm having for Easter dinner
	⚡ ♥ 4:51am fred: @Toutevoix: Matthew Caws of Nada Surf spent many childhood summers on the Ventoux, that's where the name Minor Alps (his project with Juliana Hatfield) comes from. And his impressive French, I guess
	⚡ ♥ 4:51am Paulo AD: You would think you'd get a good curry here right..... Wrong... Wrong
	♥ 4:53am Scott67: I make a decent curry mate.
	⚡ ♥ 4:54am fred: @Paulo: Maybe you just don't know the right places, the jag would stand out there
	4:56am Toutevoix: @fred I'm just also in love with Ventoux, like those stones seems snow the whole year, I didn't know about this story that's nice, I hope to climb Ventoux tomorrow or this week before I go back Italy, for a biker this minor mountain is a myth and allways a pleasure to get back there! I ' ll listen to this Minor Alps connection we have now with curiosity & pleasure!
	4:57am Toutevoix: @ just for fun, fred just have a look at my stupid portrait on wfmu profil: I'm on top of the Ventoux I did it last year!! www.wfmu.org...
	4:58am Toutevoix: Stupid but happy I climbed a myth.... www.wfmu.org...
	⚡ ♥ 5:02am fred: Climbing Ventoux on bike must be both taxing and exhilarating! Good luck
	5:08am Toutevoix: yes fred also because there's always a lot of bikers there, so it's a lot of fun beyond amusement park kind of dimension.... and still you must really be prepared, anyway never did it during springtime, this is my therapy to get out of dark mood of those days )))
	5:11am listener: I want to listen to this song. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nautical_Disaster

	⚡ ♥ 5:20am fred: @Toutevoix: Maybe send Matthew Caws a picture when you're up there, he'd probably like that

	♥ 5:41am Brian D: @Fox. Thank you. High praise coming from you. I took advantage of being here at Casa Currents and Cut A Rug a few times as well (I can only dance when I KNOW no one is watching).
	5:44am kevlicki: Governments and militaries can’t protect us, but they can get us killed. The current warmonger profiteering is really cynical. I appreciate Vijay Prashad’s calls for diplomacy

	♥ 4:24am Brian D: @Fred, from way back. Some people on the left in the US said the same when Trump won. We saw how that worked out. I've not read that @Rob. Adding it to the list!
	4:24am Rob Gee: A mysterious man in a yellow suit visits a little village

	4:41am Toutevoix: like this Jane's Addiction melody intro sounded like an Hal Hartley score to me, trust me
	♥ 4:43am Scott67: I stayed in Avignon when hitchhiking around France.
	⚡ ♥ 4:43am fred: @Toutevoix: You might understand this: there's a place up there that was an imposing grotto with a river coming out when I was a small child. Not as impressive as an adult

	5:44am kevlicki: Governments and militaries can’t protect us, but they can get us killed. The current warmonger profiteering is really cynical. I appreciate Vijay Prashad’s calls for diplomacy
