Programming note: I’m about to ramp up all Drum Corps all the time. It does not mean I’m ignoring what’s going on in the world. I’m just focusing my content. The Corps and Students (aka “the Kids”) deserve our support - music and arts deserve our support.

You know what I don’t need on the anniversary of the ‘89 quake - a jolty freaking quake. That was unpleasant even if it was a 3.1.

I got enough trauma from ‘89 ThankYouVeryMuch.

With Tom Lehrer's passing, I suppose this is a moment to share the story of the prank he played on the National Security Agency, and how it went undiscovered for nearly 60 years.

@alexpearl.bsky.social I meant to tell you I dipped my toe back into perfume! I still deeply miss either Daisy or Lola (I can’t remember which one). I recently bought Perfect Elixir, which is smells very nice.

Diamond Distributors is doing our friends at Green Ronin (and a bunch of other small press publishers) dirty. They're trying to steal hundreds of thousands of dollars of books (that they DON'T own) to pay off their own bankruptcy.

Please help if you can!

'Vacations.'

The word is 'vacations.'
FAST COMPANY Article: While retirement typically occurs, after completing a career and saving and investing for it, a new trend is emerging among Gen Z career professionals called "micro-retirement." Micro- retirements involve taking a one to two- week break from work every 12 to 18 months. Gen Z is using micro-retirement to avoid burnout, find greater fulfillment in their work, and enhance their overall well-being. However, it's not just Gen-Z:

Sometimes my timeline will line up enough that I get a funny story completely by accident.
1st skeet from Alt National Park Service: The break up between Musk and Trump has been nothing short of amusing, a public unraveling marked by petty jabs and power plays. Watching them take shots at each. <popcorn emoji> 2nd skeet from Alt NPS: Trump advised Elon that starting his own political party would be unwise, or else. 3rd skeet from Frog and Toad Bot: “I have to go home bow, Toad. There is something that I must do.” Frog hurried home.

The House just passed the bill. Here’s our best sense of the situation based on available data. We’ll update next week with analysis of the version that gets signed into law.

I’m really grateful to the people who got some of the worst provisions removed and who fought to stop this terrible bill.
