Nailed it
The way I’d put it is…a not insignificant portion of the internet—and the world, I guess—defines themselves not by the things they do and love, but their opposition to others. When you take that away, they’re bereft of purpose.
What prompts someone to create an account like that? Don’t they have a life to live or something?

Hello world! Reviving my Bluesky account as part of the Great X Migration. It’s been a rough week, not gonna lie. Finally showered and shaved and ventured out into the world after a week of solitude contemplating … <gestures vaguely> … everything.

It’s Friday, so that means it’s time once again for Forgotten Solos! Something fun this evening: the late great Roy Clark (who could play anything with strings), being absolutely otherworldly. Seriously, how can a human play like this? Utterly amazing performance youtu.be/-xssnp7R51A?...
Roy Clark - Malaguena (The Odd Couple)
Roy Clark working for CBS with Tony Randall & Jack Klugman. A wild take on an old classic.

It’s Friday, and that means it’s time for Friday Forgotten Solos! Tonight we head back into the 70s jazz fusion vault for some Jean Luc Ponty, with a great tune featuring a virtuoso bass performance from Ralphe Armstrong. Enjoy! youtu.be/1zE-2H_VJvM?...

It’s time once again for Friday’s Forgotten Solos! Ernie Isley is a truly amazing guitarist who often (and sadly) gets overlooked in the pantheon of 70s guitar greats. His incredible tone and fluid lines are on full display in this classic youtu.be/T88fbHOmvRk?...

It’s time once again for Friday Forgotten Solos! Tonight’s selection will be instantly familiar to anyone who grew up in the Baltimore area in the 70s. It’s Starbuck, with the legendary Bo Wagner on the mighty marimba!

Starbuck - Moonlight Feels Right (From The Midnigt Special - 1976)
Starbuck's "Moonlight Feels Right" was, virtually the moment it came out, a classic for me. A light, feel good song that was perfect for the summer of '76. ...

Time for Forgotten Solos Friday! Tonight’s selection is from one of Santana’s lesser-known albums: Caravanserai. This features a great solo from Carlos (of course), but in particular an incredible electric piano solo from fusion great Tom Coster. Enjoy! youtu.be/cPKIle7gSVk?...
