I just saw a 1976 clip of Karen Carpenter obliterating a drum solo. Had I seen this instead of Zeppelin's Song Remains The Same in 1987 the aesthetic trajectory of my life would be very different.

Saw Guided by Voices 40th Anniversary homecoming show a couple weeks ago with @joshmccolough.bsky.social, Josh Emmons & Fred Tangeman. McColough's stunningly gorgeous bride Cate was kind enough to underwrite the entire very expensive outing. Now that's love. (I'm not sure how she feels about him.)

For a moment I caught a glimpse of a social media platform that hosted a writing community where people cared about craft and community more than self-promotion. Is it too much to hope? Probably. But I'll do it for the next [checks watch] ten minutes or so anyway...

Great to see so many writers coming here now. Let's rebuild the writing community. If you’re an author or screenwriter, reply and say hello so we can all find you and follow each other. And if you want to repost this, that would also help.

Hey, people who use AI for producing text. Did you know it uses the word "honed" as often as beginning creative writers use adverbs? Every time I see a thing "honing" another thing I'm all "Oh, hi ChatGPT, how you been?" I'm just like that about it.

This is a case study in burying the lede. And, if you were wondering if "Conspiracy Theorists" were on to something and the NYT is part of the Mil-Ind-IC complex, here's your answer. Despite intense worldwide interest, NYT has ignored Grusch for a month and even today wouldn't tweet his name.

Do better dismissing dimwits than "attended community college." I taught community college for 17 years & I'm well acquainted with elite education. Many students at Edison State Community College could've split Harvard wide open and worked as hard as any Ivy grads I know. #KirksGross #Classism #Ugh
