Apple’s Top 10 Albums are a joke, designed 100% to pander to the demographic their market study said would be most likely to subscribe after seeing it. Aretha > Beyonce. Al Green > Fran Ocean. Where are the Stones, Led Zeppelin, REM, The Clash, Van Morrison? Bob Dylan GTFO https://100best.music.apple.com/us

Brushes With Celebrity https://louplummer.lol/post/brushes-with-celebrity Most people have a story about having a brush or two with celebrity. For some, it's a truly meaningful moment in their lives, something they went out of the way to make happen, perhaps even spent money on, like paying to have your picture taken with William Shatner at Comic-Con.... #WeblogPoMo2024

From my 100 Strangers Project - I didn’t even ask Bob and Sherry about the beer cans they were wearing around their necks. I’ve always loved the fun look in her eyes in this photo though.

April was the photo challenge on Micro.blog. May has been all about WeblogPoMo2024. Is there anything going in June?

Truly, I think I'm the luckiest person alive. Today's #WeblogPoMo2024 post is about how a chance meeting saved my life.

😱 I live in fear of accidentally cross-posting a profanity filled tirade about something like font characteristics or icon design to LinkedIn and exposing the real me to my professional contacts.

The Phones of Normal People https://louplummer.lol/post/the-phones-of-normal-people Now, I realize that there are some folks in the geek space who still make use of default apps. Robb Knight's project from the winter of 2023 taught us that. By and large though, the things that people in tech related fields do with our phones, laptops and tablets fall... #WeblogPoMo2024

From my 100 Strangers Project - Stone (his name) manages this tattoo business. A few days after I shot this, I saw him again and we had a conversation. Turns out he is a photographer too. We talked about it for a while. He looked me up on Facebook and we’ve now been friends for 10 years.

Prison Break https://louplummer.lol/post/prison-break Note: As an unabashed and outspoken progressive, I feel like I need to explain how I came to be a part of the prison industrial complex in the south. If you are interested in how that happened, you can read this explanation.

The story of the biggest prison escape I ever worked on, the day three prisoners went through a fence while under fire and I had to go after them in the woods with the bloodhound handler. Also known as one of the reasons why I switched careers. https://louplummer.lol/post/prison-break

I don't decide on the day's topics until I sit at my laptop at the end of the day. I keep telling myself to write during lunch time at work but I'm always distracted by something else. Personally, I'd love to read something about living in the bay area. My brother lives in Marin county and that whole part of the state is fascinating to me.

From my 100 Strangers Project - I met Jenny at a craft fair, where she was smoking this big old stogie and composing poetry on a cloudy spring Sunday. How could I not get a picture of that?

😬 Apologies friends, I have apparently been blogging incorrectly by paying $5/month for my Micro.blog https://micro.blog/pricing and $0 a month for my GitHub Pages website.

Even if I upgraded to add a newsletter and podcast, I would still be $13,820 short of the $ 14,000-a-year blog you all deserve. https://writing.exchange/@ernie/112439603336814847
