Y’all wanna hear a wild story? Charlie is right — this medley Prince made 30 years ago, blending many of his greatest hits & fan favorites into an extended mashup, is one of the most fun “only Prince could do this” things he made in the 90s. BUT: he told us he was gonna do it. In an AOL chat room…
Unpopular opinion: the Purple Medley is one of the best things Prince ever did.

Just read my son a children's book that actually made me mad
We picked it up in a little library, looked like it was self published, which is cool
But
It rhymed randomly at times and not at all at others. Numerous misspellings. Poorly done MS paint art
Gonna bin it when he's asleep

Seriously, Bluesky? The unwarranted suspension smacks of incompetent AI, but how you’re handling this suggests human incompetence. Hire an experienced strategic comms professional posthaste, and let them build a team.

A reminder that this anti-trans panic is 100% bullshit and exactly none of our country’s problems are related to someone expressing their gender identity and everyone who isn’t a hate-filled weirdo knows it.

Proud Bo…sorry, ICE agents are essential workers and are getting paid during the shutdown, but Air Traffic Controllers are not and are working without pay.

Kinda think that in this age of relentless transactionalism and humanity-extractive technology of all types, it makes more and more sense to leave the mistakes in when presenting music or other art to people

Gentlemen: thank you for your service.
I support everyone giving vast sums of money to Andrew Cuomo. It’s the “lighting a million quid on fire” art piece but this time performed by the worst people in the world.

One of the coolest things about the Deadcast has been hearing from Donna, her wonderful warm voice and good cheer, and above all the fact that she seemed to regard those times with affection - I'm sure it was more complex, but I was glad for her that she seemed quite happy. Fare thee well, queen 🫡

If you're reading stories to a young child, the way they all should finish is with "The End", intoned in a baritone register and expressed as a descending V-I. This is the rule as I understand it

I didn't make it to a No Kings event today due to family reasons but I played some tunes at an outdoor party on a farm and ended my set with Chimes of Freedom, which I dedicated to the protesters in solidarity
Felt like it was the highlight of the set actually
