I’ve missed hearing Woody Allen’s voice - I’d been so rattled this week and there he was, his full self.

I can’t express what a chill this poster sent up my spine. The metro station was covered in them

Metro station with poster reading “AI purpose driven for the department of War” and a picture of a tank

Ya this wasnt glam slop exactly either this is otherwise a psych funk band everything in this thread was wrong. That's why you come to me: for the best information

Lillly @lillly3ls.bsky.social · 10h

The bass is doing a lot of work too, this must have been a session band trying to make a buck. The lead singer sings like a backup singer. Bassist and guitar doing good soul-jazz stuff with the piano

Just learned that the rock guitar sample from Rap Snitch Knishes is dave matthews covering space oddity sped up to 95rpm. MF you were dipping in some freaky wells, that is obscene. 100% sick

(I'm mainly a guitarist too so this isnt expert info -- my kid was doing pretty good violin before she became a serious teenage pianist, so i figured this all out through my own sticker shock)

I think it's also just suffering a huge inflation due to the class associations with the instrument sadly but yeah, the difference between a $100 violin and a $600 one is acoustics. But playability is all about the strings and bow -- which are so pricy they help inflate the instrument imo

Hinako, this is Fogman. I've just sent you a device that can capture heat from the the underground ruptures of never-ending hellfire. It might take a bit of work, but once they're built, you should be able to recharge your flashlight more easily. Stay safe out there.

a captive market of parents with upwardly mobile expectations for their kids is probably doing a lot of work there lol

Lillly @lillly3ls.bsky.social · 13h

yeah and it even comes down to strings and the bow -- some like, niche material quality stuff, to where it's more like, "good strings cost $90 so you had might as well spend $600 on your violin" 😵‍💫 ultimately strings that must cost $5 to make instead of $0.25. But /someone/ will now pay $90, so

a student violin set is like $100. violin is sadly awful for starting because a $600 violin with a $100 bow plays so much easier that it will piss you off later to have learned on an amazon quality one. I bought a cheapy one before a hurricane in the 2010s and had a lot of fun with it, still

Today my daughter's preschool is holding a farewell assembly for one of her classmates whose mother has no choice but to self deport. The school is hoping it will be joyful in tone, so we might make this less upsetting for this 3 year old.

There's just no words for the uselessness of this cruelty.

I'm at the scene where ICE abducted multiple people from Lincoln and Foster this morning.

A WGN producer was among the people taken, allegedly because she was among a group of bystanders who tried to intervene. ICE agents hit this car while making their getaway.
