His name is enough for me to check out any new project. That's why I try to list all the musicians; it's a big part of how I discover new jazz music these days.

Hey, thanks for including me! Sorry about your old account, but it looks like everything's back up and running here.

Gabriel Blight @gabrielblight.bsky.social · 5d

Yeah, I remember hearing this with a friend the day it came out; we were instantly hooked. To my knowledge, he hadn't done anything remotely like this before. I wonder what would happen if he collaborated with someone like Trent Reznor.

Nobody on this list really surprises me, except for Bill Burr. I feel like he lost the right to take a principled stance against grifters and "get the bag first" comedians.

Mark Normand had huge potential in a world deprived of Norm Macdonald, but the guy just keeps questionable company.

I think the site got the hug of death but it reminded me to get rid of Copilot on Word, which it turns out, is quite easy. I don't think there was a readily available feature to turn it off when they first implemented it.
