Brian Eno's "Ambient 1" only sold 10,000 copies, but everyone who bought it went on to start an airport.

If you decided to save money by not paying your utility bills, you'd be doing roughly the equivalent of what DOGE is doing now to the ability of government entities to provide adequate services.

Do you write? Then you’re a writer. I don’t care if you’re trad published, self published, or not at all published. If you write - you’re a writer. There’s no officiant or badge to collect. You write - you’re a writer. So stop waiting for someone to declare you one. I just did. There you go.

Worthwhile thread.

Here are some of my favorite examples of when MAD Magazine“ pulled no punches.” Back in 1965, this brutally on point Fold-In by Al Jaffee exposed "Equal Justice For All" as a false promise. (1/X)

In the past 12 months, Post Malone has performed, on record and/or live, with Beyonce, Dwight Yoakam, and Nirvana.

Not cool with SNL's concert special giving such a large platform to Win Butler, though I suppose the time he's on stage, he's not creeping on teenage girls on Instagram.

The B-52's picked things up with easily the best performance so far. Now we have The Backstreet Boys. Not my jam, but the crowd is digging it.

Unfortunately, it hasn’t really improved a great deal. Better talent, but flat performances.

The SNL live music special on Peacock decides to go with the "start so poorly, there's nowhere to go but up" strategy, with Jimmy Fallon paying homage to The Blues Brothers with a rendition of "Soul Man" that makes the late John Belushi seem like a great R & B singer in comparison.

If there are no more pennies, how is Spotify going to keep on paying musicians?

Giving infectious disease research a break, as promised by the MAHA agenda. Let's break down what exactly this Executive Order is *really* saying. Fortunately, I speak fluent anti-vax grifterese & can translate. www.whitehouse.gov/presidential...

While resignation isn't always a solution, here it is the right move. And Danielle Sassoon illustrates how ethical people can stand up to the corruption of the current administration. Now that this letter is out, I'm curious how this sham dismissal plays out.

Well, Carson Wentz will probably finally get to play in a Super Bowl.

Kendrick is about to do to Drake at halftime what the Eagles did to the Chiefs in the first half.

One predictable reason Tom Brady is an annoying announcer is he keeps relating everything to his own career. We already watched you for 20 years, we wanna hear about this game!

"It was a fantastic ride" -- Hubie Brown signs off at the end of a legendary career in pro hoops 🥹

Amidst the chaos and the law-breaking the most important thing to remember/focus on is that they are doing these things illegally because they know they don't have the votes to do it by passing laws, even in a GOP controlled Congress.
