Bluesky hates Palestinians, actively encouraged their starvation by preventing them from fundraising and suspended people who celebrated the killing of a far-right racist. I need you to remember this while you're high on the Mamdani win and referring to this app as pre-Musk Twitter

some jazzers have been griping about Hancock’s vocoder ad-lib segment, which he’s been doing every set. Allow me to set you straight. Herbie Hancock is one of the greatest musicians ever to live and in the context of music if he makes a choice then that is the right choice. Hope this clarifies
just saw Herbie Hancock at the Strathmore. played almost exclusively progressive jazz, went ~1 hour over time, much of the overage stemming from a nearly 40m lecture on evolution, compassion, & futurism done entirely via vocoder, and saved almost all the accessible fusion for post-lecture. the GOAT!

I once got on a bus having just bought a Pret breakfast bowl and realised I hadn't picked up a spoon to eat it with. The best I could find was a credit card I had in my wallet which had split down the middle. Luckily the woman sitting next to me had a spoon and offered it to me when she saw this.

I never know what counts in those "first record you ever bought" things because there's a very blurry line between "parents buy you records for birthday/Xmas", "pester mum to buy you record while you're with her at the shops" and "mum gives you money but you spend it while at the shops with her".
