I don't agree with many of #AOC's positions, and I agree with you that #Tlaib needs to be primaried.

But, #Harper would have broken the law if he had accepted #Nelsons offer.

Bigger concern that "just" breaking the law is that Harper would then remain beholden to Nelson, instead of representing his constituents.

Their interest might or might not diverge — I don't know yet — but Nelson's sway over Harper would have been immense, I believe, had Harper taken Nelson's money

Mutability cantos: Andris Nelsons and the Boston Symphony perform Prokofiev's Fifth, Strauss's Tod und Verklärung, and Julia Adolphe's Makeshift Castle at the Proms.

Prom 52: Boston SO/ Nelsons review – weighty lyricism and ravishing reflection

The Boston Symphony showed signature depth in a grand Prokofiev Fifth, and splendidly contrasting textures in both Strauss and an emotionally driven premiere from US composer Julia Adolphe

I meant to post these two weeks ago and got distracted.

Some recent pickups from Julio's Liquors - a few Loch & K(e)y Rye offerings, I'm a big fan of rye. The Nelson's Green Brier which was a very pleasant dram at a recent Whiskey Wednesday at a very low price, so I picked one up. The Sotol and Nixta were from another WW. While I tend toward whiskey, I do enjoy other spirits and the sotol was worth adding to my lineup. The Nixta is a sweet corn liqueur, something you'd use in a cocktail maybe in place of simple or agave to give it a different flavor. It was interesting enough to pick up to play with.

The others are recent Compass Box web (Duality) and auction (Juveniles and Canto Cask 47) pickups, and the Bimber Duality which I also snagged at auction. Compass Box is my Pokémon. 😅

Time for some #Shostakovich Year 1905 with #BSO and #Nelsons. Amazing playing. "Ninth of January" is terrifying. #classicalmusic.
