Pretty proud that last night a guy at the bar was asking "who's that fabulous sounding singer who has done a lot of work with Joni Mitchell?" And I was immediately Brandi Carlile! 🌟

My new car has a CD player and I am excited to dig out my CD case! Or should I finally get a CD visor case?
Once again I must beg you all to readopt old tech when and only when it is higher quality than its replacement. Records: yes, CDs: yes, audiocassettes: no, Blu-rays: yes, DVDs: no, VHS: you gotta be kidding, reel-to-reel audio: NOW you’re talking.

Transferring my playlists to Qobuz and they don't have @anidifranco.bsky.social 's Untouchable Face. This could be a deal breaker. Like that holds my breakup playlist together!

If you are also confused by the NHL's embrace of Heated Rivalry, you MUST read @thefrankiedlc.news 's take. TLDR? Don't buy into the hype. And if you do, at least hold the league accountable for years of homophobia. I still haven't watched, but will now hear takes on why I should.
Haven't done one of these in a while! I've got a post-holiday haterade rant about the NHL's support for Heated Rivalry, which I hate. www.thefrankiedlc.news/p/sorry-but-...
sorry but I don't give a fuck that the NHL has embraced 'heated rivalry'

OMG. I just lost an hour of my day & likely a year of my life trying to get a quote from Progressive for a possible car purchase. It always baffles me how comprehensive insurance is NOT comprehensive.

Ok how much did the military lose. The USPS is not a business
The USPS faces a tight squeeze. With fewer people using the mail, it’s lost more and more money: $9 billion in the 12 months ending in September alone.

The best time to acknowledge that the right wing was never interested in fighting antisemitism was from the start. The second best time is now.
