Me suis levé du bon pied
Oui j'vais l'prendre mon pied
Et je l'lèverai seulement
Pour la danse de la joie
C'est la danse de la joie

Today on the latest episode of the Hegseth Follies:
"I, however, knew two hours before the first bombs exploded that the attack might be coming. The reason I knew this is that Pete Hegseth, the secretary of defense, had texted me the war plan at 11:44 a.m."

The Trump Administration Accidentally Texted Me Its War Plans
U.S. national-security leaders included me in a group chat about upcoming military strikes in Yemen. I didn’t think it could be real. Then the bombs started falling.

Getting very little traction/interaction on Mastodon despite bridging to Bluesky, is it time to cave and go ahead with a proper Bluesky account? Will still stay bridged to the Fediverse #bluesky #mastodon #fediverse #bridgyfed

I love the peek into the creative process in this song. David Byrne once explained that he would sing gibberish over a groove when songwriting then flesh out the words later. In this “unfinished outtake” we hear both Byrne and Brian Eno singing different kinds of gibberish together… great song […]
