Joan Jett Blakk was the first drag queen to run for president.
Joan had a major stroke last year- to support her need for lifelong care, her iconic 1992 presidential campaign poster has been re-released as a limited edition t-shirt. I got one!

Happy belated birthday to Dwight Yoakam. When I saw him perform back in the mid-90s, his jeans were so tight it seemed he could barely stand up straight. This song helped me get through a crushing breakup once upon a time.

In college, a very cool grad student TA turned me on to Nick Lowe's Pure Pop for Now People (aka Jesus of Cool). Not long after she recommended the album, I found a copy in the dollar bin at my favorite local record store, and that's how I found out about this song. www.youtube.com/watch?v=G_-G...

If we put half as much resources into metadata and cataloging as we do into dumb AI stuff, we’d way better off in terms of the info/data ecosystem
Panel at #Crossref2025 wonders if metadata has an image problem. Bianca Kramer says the word metadata not used in the Barcelona Declaration. Mariángela Napoli thinks perception of metadata is something too technical. Kazuhiro Hayashi describes metadata as "the unsung hero". Time for a rebrand ;)

I don't listen to many podcasts, but this caught my eye/ear, and it's great. Learning that Gordon Gano wrote some of the songs when he was only 15--no wonder the record resonated with misfit teens like me back in the day! I know Spotify is bad, but this is good. open.spotify.com/episode/1QLM...

Sure I was out there protesting fascism in my banana suit, but I think the greatest service I performed was afterwards when we walked past a very tired man with two small children being fussy and he said "Look! Peanut butter jelly time! Peanut butter jelly time!" and I did the dance.

Rewatching Mommy Dearest and it really is over the top. Everyone remembers “no more wire hangers!” but what about “Tina, bring me the axe!”
Huge Diana Scarwid fan, which was the main reason I’m revisiting the film.
