Trump really wanted to beat Biden. He did not expect Harris running. He called her a “fucking bitch”. It’s online somewhere - I saw it. He’s flailing faced with Kamala Harris. Here’s the video, I’m not sure if he actually calls her a “fucking bitch” and the autogenerated captions suggest otherwise: x.com/dilemmv/status/1822329700812730599?s=46&t=-bfLpLLaXY45nLW4GphmUQ |

which reminds me as a former shopkeeper; I often had American customers. If one asks you "is that saxophone on sale?" they mean "is it available at a January sales-type price", not "can I buy it for the price shown on the tag?". Well if it were a Selmer mk VI..... |

I never managed to get anyone to sell one of those at a price which was feasible. I sold all sorts of top-quality & collectable saxophones but sadly never a mark VI. Had plenty of them in the repair workshop over the years though.
(For the benefit of everyone except hiberno, and a small number of others who might know what he means, a Selmer Mark VI is generally regarded as the ultimate professional saxophone. They were manufactured from the early 50s to the late 60s, and still fetch four-figure sums - most saxophones can be overhauled & remain in useful service for many many decades, certainly over 100 years if they were well enough manufactured. They were manufactured in Paris, although Selmer is a US-owned company. They replaced it with the Mark VII, which though quite good is generally regarded as being considerably less good. I'm not quite sure why they have never attempted to reintroduce them. Perhaps they don't feel that the components nowadays available are of sufficient quality. The best saxophones made today are still in many people's opinion made in Paris, though there are other very good alternatives; the same applies less arguably to clarinets and oboes, but not flutes or bassoons. )

Going down a rabbit hole here but up until recently probably the best clarinets have been made in Paris either by Selmer or Buffet, the latter as Batman would know I'm sure was owned for many years by the British Boosey and Hawkes group. Selmer attempted to recreate the mk 6 with the Reference '54 but personally, I prefer the modern instruments.

I think honorable mention should be made of 2 other French clarinet makers, Leblanc & Marigaux, although nowadays the former is US-owned and the latter German-owned. I think Marigaux are now the only French clarinet-makers who also make oboes, and their oboes are fantastic. |

Leblanc no longer manufacture in Paris and I don’t think Marigaux have made clarinets for a while. Although the French stranglehold on top line professional clarinets in particular is loosening.

GOP have got nothing on Walz. What an ace choice he is.
One was quite crestfallen of late. Cori Bush and Jamaal Bowman lost. Jen Perelman seemed like she’ll lose. Then this veritable political miracle happened.

Why is it deemed quite acceptable to play at will with trite puerile names for Trump but universally frowned on to make such puerile usages for say Starmer or Thornberry? Why this tedious double standard? I am against these usages but I have stooped to them in the past. I shall eschew such behaviour in future. I am with you that it is childish, but would note that out of all proper politicians that I can think of, Trump is the only one who regularly stoops to such behaviour himself - e.g. "Lying Ted Cruz", and that was about a fellow Republican. Also, "Crooked Joe Biden", "Pocahontas" etc. etc. If anyone has it coming, it's him. And as a semi-serious point: one of the merits of Walz for the Democrats seems to be his ability to pay that back in kind. Crooked Hillary, Crazy Nancy, Sleepy Joe, Coco Chow, Ron DeSanctimonious, Birdbrain Haley, Horseface, Shifty Schiff, Old Crow McConnell, Gavin Newscum, and Cryin’ Chuck would all also like a word. I agree that this name-calling is childish and unwelcome, but having fully embraced the approach, Republicans are not in a position to complain about it. |

Cocaine Mitch is the funniest epithet. Trump didn’t coin that moniker, though.

They have a more robust sound which completes better with the more powerful brass instruments in the same range that are available today. However it would be a shame if the French style bassoon were to disappear altogether; its more reedy tone is clearly what was in the ear of the composer for the works of Berlioz, Debussy and Ravel, and Stravinsky would have had that sound in his mind for the opening of the Rite of Spring. I think Verdi probably had Buffet bassoons in mind for the Requiem too. All the same, Heckel system instruments are usually heard in these works today so we'd all better get used to it. |

To save us all the trouble, there is a Wikipedia article listing all the childish and nasty nicknames Trump has used over the years: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_nicknames_used_by_Donald_TrumpSo to hear Republicans complain when Democrats turn the tables is hypocrisy at the highest level to say the least. |
