Feel like I will be on a high for the rest of my life after seeing David Byrne. Childhood dream come true.

I missed this a few days ago, but it looks like the vast majority of Medical Knowledge Panels (the curated information Google built with 3rd-party sources) have been replaced by AI Overviews.

I remember Yamagata and love her. Mary Spender is great! Delian is definitely not me, but also not the worst I have heard, but you do definitely know me well. 😂

Could dementia be the key to saving endangered Jewish languages?

Sometimes when people's short-term memories begin to falter, they recall the first languages that they learned.

I miss Sub Pop showing up in my mailbox with free mix tapes of their artists. My favorite mix tape had this song on it:

30 Years of Red Red Meat’s Bunny Gets Paid!

Chicago rock ensemble Red Red Meat hit hard with 1995’s Bunny Gets Paid. The record pairs Stones-indebted blues-rock roots with beautiful songs.

Tell me what music you are listening to to stay sane in the madness. I’m reliving my youth with Amorica right now. Have I told the story about my 5am flight from Logan to LA and two of the only other people in the terminal were Chris and Rich? Wild morning. 😂

A message to all governments: Invest in your artists. The Irish government has learned that it pays well.

Damn. This is amazing. £325 per week, paid monthly, for 3 years - and the result was a profit for the Irish economy:

Post from Threads user rodneyowl: "Ireland has declared the Basic Income for Artists scheme permanent. This will be officially announced in tomorrow’s budget. Details to follow. Congratulations to all who fought for it and the present and future artists of all sorts in Ireland. That includes me 👌We’re just comin to the end of a 3 year pilot scheme. It’s been a roaring success. For every €1 paid out to the 2000 participants, the government got €1.46 back. Can’t argue with that. Other countries are already taking note."

In 4 days, I've been to 2 concerts (David Byrne and Bertha: Grateful Drag), a regatta, and a film talk. I think I look like this. For the first time ever in 20 yrs of parenting, I slept through an alarm. The kids looked at me like I had 4 heads when I told them, "YOU HAVE 30 MINUTES TO GET READY."

Follow, follow the sun
And which way the wind blows
When this day is done
Breath, breath in the air
Set your intentions
Dream with care

Ohhhh. Will do. I have a thing where I read most in print, BUT I specifically use Audible for things like this. Musician authors, too. Yay!

Yesssss. That said, there is more to her personal brand where she is problematic. Always disappointing to see a woman who can lead the way in a positive way but does not.
