I heard there was a reggae song
By Daddy Yankee, from San Juan
That topped the charts from LA to Ibiza
It goes like this, the kick, the snare
And synthesizers everywhere
The dancehall king composing Gasolina

I first got excited for Routine back when I worked for MLG, a company that hasn't existed for... I don't know, 7 years? More?

Just finished The Trees, and it is now the 4th consecutive "Best Thing I've Read In Years" that I've read from Percival Everett.
The list so far:
- Erasure
- Dr. No
- A History of the African-American People [PROPOSED], By Strom Thurmond as told to Percival Everett and James Kincaid

When I was 18, I delivered food for the only Cajun place in town. When Dr John played there, he ordered from that restaurant and told me I was cooler than the average delivery guy.
It wasn't true, and still isn't, but it was very nice of him to say.

Today would have been Dr. John's 84th birthday, which was originally observed a day later and a year earlier - as wonderfully mysterious and chaotic as everything about him.

We're primarying John Fetterman.
Last week, Fetterman again sold out working Pennsylvanians. He was the deciding vote for a Republican budget bill that will strip healthcare from over 400,000 Pennsylvanians.
We deserve real working class leadership in the Senate, not a Trump-enabling Democrat.

The funniest thing about this is that some lawyer(s) are getting blamed for this back at OpenAI HQ, when the problem is that they're actually just breaking the law in front of everyone.
Open AI loses copyright case in Germany.
Judge Elke Schwager summarized the case saying that if you want to build something and need components, "then you purchase them and do not use the property of others."

As of this morning, Starbucks workers across the country are officially ON STRIKE. And we're prepared for this to become the biggest and longest ULP strike in Starbucks history.
