David Kaylor's "Star Wars Trilogy: The Final Cut" is up, and so far it looks terrific.

I'm using Rhythymbox, the default music management and playback software on @linuxmint and wondering what other folks might prefer. I saw something about Lollypop:

Any others to consider?

Rivian's R2, R3 & R3X launch event in 5

Rivian has been promising to make a smaller, more affordable electric SUV that will sit alongside pricier R1T and R1S vehicles. The R2 won’t go into production until 2026, but when it does it will come w/ estimated range of 330 miles, a 0–60mph time of 3 seconds, & a starting price of $45K. We also saw the R3 the R2’s “sibling,” & the R3X, the R3’s performance trim which has a wider stance & smaller crossover shape.

5 Best MP3 Players to Buy In 2024
Live like it's 2002.

Bought the kids these InniOasis knockoff iPods. They're Android & have recordable FM radio too. They are infatuated with the click wheel, as they should be.

Threads might not be focused on news, but here’s a great list of follows if you are 📰

If you’re a news junkie but your Threads “following” list is feeling a little thin three months after launch, take a look at this post kicked off by CNN’s Oliver Darcy. A bunch of journalists are chiming in with their respective beats and what type of content you can expect them to share on the platform.

First sighting of a Wankpanzer here in Dallas. It's not doing this otherwise lovely Spanish colonial home any favors junking up the driveway.

Can't believe it's the first one we've seen in town. We see so many Rivian trucks here.

Blue Texas doing its darnedest in Red Texas

Dallas moving forward with plan to entice residents to switch from gas-powered lawn tools 🏡🍃 🥕

"Proposal [to outlaw gas-powered mowers & blowers] was scrapped after state legislators passed a law last year that blocks cities from restricting the use, sale or lease of an engine based on its fuel source."

Going to the Peter Gabriel show tonight in Dallas. Haven't seen him since 1993 in a bullring in Spain. It was an amazing night. I don't go to as many concerts as I used to since being shoved down a flight of stairs at the Cotton Bowl. Looking fwd to "shed my skin" on the music this time. 🎤 🎸 🎼

Peter Gabriel plays Dallas tonight for first time in more than a decade.

Tim DeLaughter moves the Polyphonic Spree from dark to light on “Salvage Enterprise”

Eddie Bauer changed its logo because Gen Z doesn’t read cursive

After nearly 60 years of its distinctive cursive script, the outdoor retailer is ditching the script for blocky text and a goose. 🪿

“A big part of what I’m going to need to do here is reintroduce this great heritage brand to the next generation,” Bantle says. “And kids don’t even learn to read cursive in school anymore.”

How 3 shades of jazz swirled together in 1959 to make 'Kind of Blue'

3 Shades of Blue: Miles Davis, John Coltrane, & Bill Evans & the Lost Empire of Cool

“Jazz today, when it isn’t utterly ignored, is widely disliked for different reasons: because it is old, or anodyne, or hard to understand. Jazz is passé. Jazz is niche. Jazz is the smooth soundtrack to polite brunches in restaurants w/ potted ferns & bananas Foster & clever young servers.”

He Made a Mess of CNN. Now He’s Ruining Turner Classic Movies Too.

David Zaslav, whose Chris Licht hire butchered CNN, is vandalizing TCM, a beloved cultural institution.

"TCM’s staff of 90 had been cut to 20. It’s difficult to imagine how the network could go on unchanged with such a skeletal team."
