I got something fun yesterday. These are relatively stupid-cheap, but shockingly good. Highly recommend for the midwestern, budget-conscious musician. #guitarpedals

Took this last week. It was oddly heartening to see a bunch of people engaged in a creative endeavor. I guess that’s not so odd, now that I write it. There were probably 15 people all told.

I mean, if we’re going to have a corrupt piece of shit president… this is the least he can do.

Meme of sad man on bus thinking “FIFA is corrupt,” while happy man on same bus is thinking “FIFA is corrupt in my favor."

We attempted to circumnavigate Lake Harriet last night. We were beaten back.

Lynnhurst Porchfest having a good inaugural year.

Very good fusion/jazz/soul band playing on a porch.

Great rock band playing on a porch. I understand one of these dudes played in Nova Mob

Oh yeah? Ha… "a very selective list of tracks.” I’m guessing by “very selective” they mean “every track” RouteNote has. I don’t want to slag RoutNote too hard, I think it’s generally a good company (could be wrong), but this is silly. Plus, I’m fairly certain Meta already consumed our stuff.

Screen shot of an email from RouteNote:

Hey:
At RouteNote, we're always looking for new ways to help artists earn more from their music rights while giving you a clear choice about how your music is licensed.
We're getting in touch because Meta has approached RouteNote about a new licensing opportunity to develop and improve its Al-powered technologies, and your music has been included in a very selective list of tracks they are interested in licensing.
This would be a one-off licensing deal, with a one-off payment. The licence would last for 2 years and is completely non-exclusive.
If the deal goes ahead, RouteNote will pay 50% of the licence fees directly to the artists included in the agreement. If the deal proceeds, we'll share details of the payment calculation before distribution.
We want to be completely clear: this is your choice.
You do not need to take part if you do not want to. If you would prefer your music not to be included in this opportunity, simply reply to this email within 14 days and let us know that you would like to opt out.
If we do not receive an opt-out request within 14 days, eligible tracks may be included in this licensing agreement.
This opportunity only applies to this specific licensing agreement. Participation in this opportunity does not automatically include your music in any future Al licensing opportunities.

@chrissteller.bsky.social Check out Elvis Costello trying to do the bit.

Elvis Costello with a red jaguar guitar strapped on, standing in front of a microphone with his hands help up in the air as if to appeal to people to stop doing something and pay attention. He’s also wearing a weird hat and a scarf.

okay… that is fun. I was a big NBA fan who kind of lapsed the last 10 years. Fun to see these names. My first attempt; really got stuck on the PF.

The Wales shirt is very nice.

This is a cat checkpoint. Relinquish your most recent cat photo from your phone.

I have a one-eyed queen: Here she is saying, “nah… that ain’t it. Try again."

If you like tennis, go to a professional tournament. It’s very fun. We were at the Credit One Charleston Open today. Only vaguely knew one of the players we saw, but didn’t matter. These women are all warriors.
