The lads from Bristol did a Thing about three years ago that came back into my rotation thanks to a science musician from the City of Angels... they invited... rather a lot of people to sing with them on "The Workers Song"... here's the result.

I invite you to consider: There are more of us than there are of them, and if we gang up on them, either informally in community or formally in a union, we can force things to be better. Solidarity!

The Longest Johns, "The Workers Song" community edition. Leaving the list= tag intact because they did a lot more good stuff than just this!

I want to go see the #LongestJohns at the Great American Music Hall but I don't know how to get to Bart safely from there, with a wheelchair, late at night.

When I was 20 I used to go from the Mabuhay Gardens or the Stone all the way back to North Oakland on public transit at 1:00 a.m., 30 Stockton to the a bus to the 40, then walk home from there. But I'm in my '60s now and I use a #wheelchair and... I feel stuck.

And damned if I'm going to park my van on the streets, though that is a more thrilling idea than actually driving in #SanFrancisco, which gives me a rash.

🎵
Four hours​, Linux is unwell.
Four hours, graphics are a pain.
Four hours, the errors do not spell and;
Four hours, 'til it's broke again...
🎵

Spent 4 hours today fixing my #ubuntu #linux system, which decided it didn't want to boot 🙃​. After much pain, pleading, and perhaps providence, I determined the issue was a ill-considered graphics driver update (#nvidia breaks every update, I swear). Not even virtual terminals worked, but going straight to root did. But then name resolution doesn't work, so updating drivers is impossible. Finally got that fixed and it seems ok for now. But, I give it another #FourHours. #longestjohns

New #LongestJohns album - deep cuts of various shanties they sing live and on streams, but not previously released.
