Mark Twain Wrote the First Book Ever Written With a Typewriter

My Penguin Classics copy of Mark Twain’s Life on the Mississippi sits alone atop an overfull shelf. There is a bookmark on page 204, exactly halfway through, torn from an in-flight duty-free catalog--...

For those who know my jam, you know I couldn't let this @musicweeklies.bsky.social slip past me. The prompt was #Nightmares. And here is mine.

Today, I learned from @jesszafarris.bsky.social book "Useless Etymology" that "to fizzle" once meant "to fart".

I will now always giggle at the phrase "fizzle out".

Get your flu shot.

The Conversation U.S. @us.theconversation.com · 4d

PSA: it’s time to get your flu shot.

New flu vaccines are available for the 2025-2026 season, targeting three main virus strains. It's important to remember that the virus changes every year, making annual vaccination an important part of staying healthy. buff.ly/v2KTr6y
🧪👩⚕️

Flu season has arrived – and so have updated flu vaccines

Despite some confusion around changing vaccine guidelines, the CDC still recommends an annual flu shot for everyone 6 months and older.

'The song is hope, dreams, and imagination all weaved into one warm ball of light that will light a spark in our souls'. Lovely words from #LostInTheManor about our new single #WeAreDreamers.

Coming soon...

I've completed the mix and masters on a new album. There's still some work to be done before I can release it. I want to get a few CDs pressed and write a background on the album, but... In a couple of months...

Well of COURSE they are pandering to audiences for profit. That is literally their JOB - and has been since they were created.

The Conversation U.S. @us.theconversation.com · 17d

CBS News, under Bari Weiss—currently Free Press editor and CEO—could look radically different. But research suggests that viewers might not care, because many in the public already assume that media companies are pandering to audiences for profit.

theconversation.com/a-bari-weiss...

A Bari Weiss-led CBS News would likely look different, but how the public feels about it might not change

The public’s relationship with news is defined more by its skepticism of the profession than by its impressions of journalists or media outlets.
