I heard for Radiohead in Europe that there is no resale above face. Is that true? I don’t know if that’s band or country policy or something else. But it sure changes things.

As long as someone has physical media! Thanks, public libraries! (I will not subscribe to or rent any media that’s super important to me)

And — don’t know if they do this with dvds — but they then sell their old CDs for a quarter. My cousin buys four for a buck every week.

Most unusual streaks for me were three 2s in a row and seven 3s in a row 🤯 Got my daily streak up to 311 once, but that was before I turned on hard mode. I’d love to have a 365 streak!

Absolutely crazy making that they can wager their opponents don’t have all the factual data at hand when they knowingly have no facts or data themselves, just lies

I think the main reason people don’t know what to make of it is that his voice was so bad at this time. Otherwise it would easily sit alongside the five albums of Sinatra songs he did (just a few years later)

I remember when it came out, the big takeaway from the one interview he did — which was made available to homeless newspapers — said his point in making it was that “I’m a true believer.” And the album benefitted hunger relief. I know it’s Dylan, but I take him at his word with this one

I’m in the other Washington. I deal with traffic by going in super early, then leaving around 1:30 and finishing up at home. Fewer cars. Smaller tolls. Breaks up the day. And I’m not coming/going both in the dark. Really love it

Trump often adopts and co-opts criticism against him. That he’s not doing that with affordability is a sign he knows he’s vulnerable. (Or it’s dementia)
