Every time I am at the grocery store or Target, I find shopping carts in disarray. I mutter to myself every time “what the hell is wrong with people” as I put away the stray or disorganized carts. #MoralCharacter
What is the obsession with flying cars? People can’t navigate 4 way stops or roundabouts much less adding another dimension to figure out. If this comes to pass there will be a lot of carnage. Can I get a nice train system? #flyingCars
So to get all of the new #TaylorSwift songs physically you need to buy four different versions of the album. The vinyl are double lps. That’s bullshit and a crap way to treat your fans.
I have a Facebook lurker account for some bands and restaurants that only have a #Facebook presence. That’s all I follow. Every few days the send me “friend” suggestions. Never anything to do with what I follow. It’s usually been high school girls or people pretending to be a high school girl. That’s fucked up. Today I got one from a woman that apparently works at Hustler. Seems to me like Facebook is promoting sex trafficking. Maybe the US DOJ should take a look? #sextrafficking
There are good people still making for profit software. Rogue Amoeba apps are top notch and have been for years. I find their tools essential for my audio needs. Mac only, which I’m sure people will bitch about but there was a time where it was the norm on a Mac to have great small company apps that were Mac only. #RogueAmoeba#apple#Mac#rogueamoebasoftware
I get the Beatles = $ but how much more do we need to know. What important information do we not have? And what detail can you get from a mainstream film? Let’s delve into other bands maybe. #TheBeatles#Biography#Film
I follow quite a few bands and labels on #Bandcamp and it astounds me how many albums some indie labels release, one seems weekly another bi-weekly. I have no idea how they do it, what they do with inventory or are they selling that much? #music#BuyMusic
I love when I am requested to come into the office and every meeting is held on Teams even though most everyone is in the same building. I also love I can sit there all day and no one in office talks to me. Now I am officially remote so not common. #RemoteWork#InOffice#MSTeams
I’m sure Paramore (the band) mean well by leaving a major label but becoming ambassadors of Record Store Day where major labels flood the market with pointless reissues. Making it difficult for indie bands and labels from pressing albums. #Paramore#MusicIndustry#RecordStoreDay
Do people really think Barbie was Oscar worthy? Art direction certainly, but he plot was lifted from The Lego Movie, the middle dragged and the end was fine. Does it deserve an Oscar for its message? Maybe, but it’s not a great movie. All this being said it’s the Oscars and leave it to them to only nominate a man for Barbie. #oscars#Barbie
Read an article in BBC Science Focus regarding the idea that an asteroid did not kill the dinosaurs. What did you ask? The debris that the asteroid launched into the atmosphere after impact. So the asteroid. This isn’t science it’s semantics. #science#MassExtinction#dinosaurs#BBC#ScienceFocus.
I saw a post somewhere else about the founder of political site Splinter mad that it’s being resurrected after it was shuttered by G/O then sold to Paste. You got your money. YOU CASHED OUT! This shit drives me crazy, don’t take the money if you’re worried that your creation will be hollowed out, shut down, and sold for parts.
I stopped going in to work because of this exact problem.
“Amazingly, hybrid also kills several key benefits of in-office work. Perhaps much importantly that unless both time and days are mandated, you often end up with employees going to the office, only to realize that they'll have to do a video call anyway to collaborate with someone who isn't there today.” #RemoteWork
