Okay, let me start a new #HouseMusic thread.

First thing's first: I need to post a few junts by the legendary Ron Carroll, who passed away two Sundays ago. RIP!

Here's a classic soulful track with Hardsoul:

All I’m gonna say is if you’re from the DC area and/or you know how the Federal Government works the day before a major holiday, there’s a lot of be suspicious about regarding current events.

A court just gave Trump 21 days to send the Guard home. I do not know how this tragedy changes that ruling, but this is not a good place to be for our country.
Pete Hegseth says Trump has asked him to add 500 more National Guard troops to Washington D.C.

It's unclear why he seems to be smirking throughout much of this.

No longer practicing, but my favorite thing is how we have patron saints for every specific thing:

Lose something? St Anthony
Setting sail? St Elmo
Tummy hurt? That’ll be St Timothy

It’s like a very large team of superheroes, except they died really gruesomely. Collect ‘em all!

The bones

Annnnnnd now the West Virginia governor says he's not sure about the condition of the National Guardsmen.

Maybe best to not tweet out that they are both dead until, you know, you KNOW that is absolutely the case...

🗣️ WE IN #DC have not cared about the guard. They have just literally just been standing around. If you go on TikTok everyone is friendly with them. Whoever did this is PISSED AT THIS ADMINISTRATION PERIOD.

FYI: don't quote song lyrics in your books. This is not fan fiction where you can get away with that. Quoting someone else's intellectual property will get you sued.

Thank you .

A lot of these people just don’t ever want to do any activity without the markings of financial success
Music is already accessible and democratized. You can sing acapella. You can play spoons or acrylic nails as percussion instruments (check out Dolly Parton doing the latter). The long 20th c has shown us basically anything can be a musical instrument.
All AI music does is devalue the work done by human artists. It’s not accessibility, it’s exploitation. We need real protections for artists against AI!

BTW — even if you had access to this AI startup as a child, you still wouldn’t know how to make music.

the only hint that this could be BECAUSE OF WHAT INDICTMENTS THE ADMINISTRATION IS BRINGING AND HOW THEY ARE DOING IT is in the last four words of the photo cap and downplayed as "procedural stumbles"
In 2016, the Justice Department brought charges against 130,000 suspects. Grand juries rejected indictments only six times.

During the Trump administration, by contrast, grand jurors have repeatedly rejected prosecutors’ requests for indictments.
Trump administration prosecutions focus new attention on grand juries
The administration has struggled with an unusual level of rejections in some cases and procedural stumbles in others.
