and that’s the thing with this specific tech, it isolates you into thinking it‘s making you a supergenius. if they had an actual community that talked to each other then somebody would have pointed that out.

When you vibe code without understanding cloud computing fundamentals. Amazing. I love to see it.

Absolutely. We want a homestead. I was super interested in getting a flow hive but I also want a bunch of different wildflower gardens and general hives for populations to camp out in
Question:
We talk about saving the bees, if you own a home would you be interested in setting up a hive for bees to relocate into?
I'm working on a beehive design, insulated, wooden core, space for the bees to grow where hopefully they won't swarm (leave).

Seriously. This dude is a genius. His album Damn Right, I've Got the Blues was my introduction to him decades ago, and his music has stayed in rotation ever since.
Many of the great British guitarists from the 60s and 70s were often copying this dude's style.

So cool for 89-year-old blues legend Buddy Guy to be honored. Appearance in Sinners last year (and on the soundtrack). And just won Grammy for Best Traditional Blues Album.

This is how direct the lineage is, Muddy Waters learned guitar in Mississippi Juke Joints watching Son House & Robert Johnson. 20 plus years later he finds Buddy Guy, fresh off the train from LA & starving in Chicago. Buys him food, & gets him a gig.
Legend isn’t even enough.

When Paul Simon won album of the year in 1976 he said and I quote: "And most of all, I'd like to thank Stevie Wonder, who didn't make an album this year,"
Do we think they know that people other than Stevie Wonder put out music from 1974 thru 1977?
Stevie really should've put out a record in '76, because I'm assume he would've won.

A diss track winning Song and Record of the Year will be funny until the end of time.
Which is wild because the year before it was a diss track. Not Even an album
Kendrick had the most awards with 5.
That’s now 10 in the past two years.

i really get nauseous when people don't understand that we did not audition or show up asking to be on anybody's "stage." we are still trying to shake off the shackles of being forced onto the world stage as property. people think our culture isn't ours, that it belongs to our enslavers.
