Profoundly dull

Jazz doesn't suck. It's just kind of dull and puts me to sleep.

I'm pretty sure it's Zora Neale Hurston who has a short story where she sends the protagonist to a jazz club where they spend pages exulting in vivid, exuberant language how passionately animated the rhythm makes them feel, then they look over and see a table of white hipsters sitting nodding along awkwardly and the protagonist is just :staredog: :allears:

Hi, amateur Jazz musician here: literally all Jazz improvisation could be said to be "improvised on a theme."

so your claim is limited to free jazz, which is extremely niche in the first place? idg why you'd post about that

jazz is great and I'm so happy that Kamasi Washington (among other younger artists) are keeping it vibrant today

Ryan plans to steamroll Democrats with budget tool

quote:

If Donald Trump is elected president and Republicans hold onto Congress, House Speaker Paul Ryan is bluntly promising to ram a partisan agenda through Capitol Hill next year, with Obamacare repeal and trillion-dollar tax cuts likely at the top of the list. And Democrats would be utterly defenseless to stop them.

Typically, party leaders offer at least the pretense of seeking bipartisanship when discussing their policy plans. But Ryan is saying frankly that Republicans would use budget reconciliation — a powerful procedural tool — to bypass Democrats entirely. It’s the same tool Republicans slammed Democrats for using to pass the 2010 health care law over their objections.

While GOP leaders have made empty threats to use reconciliation to repeal Obamacare in the past, Ryan is making it clear that this time he plans to use it when it counts. And he would likely have support from a Trump White House.

quote:

But Republicans have already done a dry run on targeting Obamacare.

The GOP-controlled Congress passed a reconciliation bill last year that would repeal key parts of the health law, including effectively eliminating the individual and employer mandates and scrapping the Medicaid expansion, insurance subsidies for consumers and the medical device and Cadillac taxes. The bill was promptly vetoed by President Barack Obama, but it would serve as a road map to Republicans in 2017. The reconciliation process relies heavily on precedent, so now opponents of Obamacare already know what can pass muster with the Senate parliamentarian. Notably, the bill also defunded Planned Parenthood for one year, in a sign of how expansive a reconciliation bill can be.

quote:

The other obvious issue is that pursuing reconciliation is a fundamentally partisan exercise. The bill becomes a “political piñata,” said Douglas Holtz-Eakin, a former director of the Congressional Budget Office.

But for some, that’s a feature, not a bug. Ryan’s office didn’t respond to a further request for comment, but he has been vocal about the need to get Trump in the White House to enact his agenda.

“I’m tired of divided government. It doesn’t work very well,” Ryan said last week. “We’ve gotten some good things done. But the big things — poverty, the debt crisis, the economy, health care — these things are stuck in divided government, and that’s why we think a unified Republican government’s the way to go.”

Not surprising, per se, but really puts the issues into stark relief.

At my kids age, the only time I heard these words was when my Dad was working around the house and messed something up. Even then, few and far between.

The songs I listened to with these words didn't even come out until I was well into my teens, and even then was mostly on radio/MTV so bad stuff removed.

I didn't curse regularly until I was in safe company in high school.
