while I have exquisite musical taste 💅, I'm the first to admit I don't have breadth of knowledge.. When I was trying to think of who else besides Tom was good at lyrics, most of the artists I thought of were dead. There's so much contemporary and recent music I'm unaware of.

I just looked him up, having never heard of him. I'll swap you this guy for Techno Viking.

I also need to know: I am fairly middle-of-the-road on Taylor Swift but someone I know called her the Greatest Living Lyricist. She is not.

Who is yours? Either the greatest or your favorite?

I moved to one of the red parts. This was a mistake.

All the time. It’s incessant.

More and more, I believe that artist endeavors aren't about the end result. Or not only. For the artist, it's also about practicing the art, about expressing the self.

Goblin and Gremlin, both long since departed. They were wicked girls and I loved them so much.

a high armhole allows for freer and more comfortable movement

Reposting with alt text and to go on the record as saying I share this perspective on generative AI

SHAPIRO: OK, so you've spent your career creating television without Al, and I could imagine today you thinking, boy, I wish I had had that tool to solve those thorny problems...
SIMON: What?
SHAPIRO: ...Or saying...
SIMON: You imagine that?
SHAPIRO: ...Boy, if that had existed, it would have screwed me over.
SIMON: I don't think Al can remotely challenge what writers do at a fundamentally creative level.
SHAPIRO: But if you're trying to transition from scene five to scene six, and you're stuck with that transition, you could imagine plugging that portion of the script into an Al and say, give me 10 ideas for how to transition this.
SIMON: I'd rather put a gun in my mouth.

Thank you. It's wild how different bodies have different strengths. My core didn't complain about this one at all but my forearms were killing me.

hell yes, chronic debilitating conditions! 🎉

I can't imagine trying to pole dance with any of those injuries. It's hard enough without injuries. Also: thank you!

Okay this is terrific news. Resuming my customary levels of despair now.

I posted cradle (knees pulled into my chest) to apprentice (legs extended) in spin pole last week and I’m posting it again this week because it’s a combo I can do. That split grip, with one hand high, one hand low, is not easy.
