I didn't think we needed a Neville Chamberlain for the 21st Century but evidently Chuck Schumer disagreed.

Kudos to @q101chicago.bsky.social for highlighting important black musicians for Black History Month in the current anti-DEI environment. And I particularly appreciate them saying "research and learn more."

It's been 20+ years since we lost everything in the Cedar Fire, but I still get PTSDish when SoCal burns. Stay safe everyone, and EVACUATE.
The most destructive fire in Southern California history was the 2003 Cedar fire in San Diego with 2,820 structures destroyed.
The #Eaton fire in Pasadena threatens 28,000.

TW: Suicide
I have in my favorite #music three songs about suicide by someone who later died by suicide.
So it's a #TopThree:
Loud Family-Slit My Wrists
Justin Townes Earle-Harlem River Blues
Frightened Rabbit-Swim Until You Can't See Land
Others?Saying "any Elliot Smith song" doesn't count.

Sitting down to compose a hopeful message for 2025 is a tough ask given the year we’ve just had. Even glib sentiments are hard to come by. The defeat of pro-democracy forces in the US presidential election still weighs like a heavy anchor on my attempts to move on. 1/11

@musicbrainz.org asking you because Spotify doesn't have a Bluesky account... I found an album on Spotify that is credited to an incorrect artist, how can that be fixed?

So do y'all block all of the "followers" you get that are (I assume) bots and/or pig butchering scams or whatever? Or is that pointless? #bluesky #pigbutchering
