@warren.senate.gov what is the Massachusetts delegations plan to confront these increasingly obvious attacks on free speech by the administration. First Colbert, now Kimmel and flags at full mast shaming.

I personally look forward to this FAFO moment for the federal administration.

I voted for you twice, you were a great president. Where the hell are you now? I’m aware of precedence but come on, this is bonkers.

What are you and the rest of our (Mass) congressional delegation doing to stop or slow this down?

This is my only meaningful political stance going forward: independence movements for regions that have FAR better politics than the cursed lands administrating them federally with woeful consequences.

Free Scotland, Free Wales, Free Northern Island, Free New England, etc.

Very proud to still have a kernel of my past life hanging around. Very happy with how this came out except for the high E that went a little wide.

@hotdogsladies.bsky.social was thinking of your recent classical postings. This blows my socks off.

Strauss, R.: Der Rosenkavalier by Régine Crespin, Yvonne Minton, Manfred Jungwirth, Vienna Philharmonic & Sir Georg Solti on Apple Music Album · 1969 · 43 Songs

When your production of Der Rosenkavalier in 1969 needs an Italian tenor, naturally you just grab Pavarotti and don’t credit him.

Crazy to stump across this little gem.

Curious if there are any Amazon PM-Ts at the senior or principle level in my network on here. Prepping for an interview and I’d love a person to bounce some ideas off.

Love that movie. It’s kinda hard to love but I do.

If you think about it, the very best books are really just extremely long spells that turn you into a different person for the rest of your life

My general experience in this market has been the only way to get traction is to leverage individuals in your network and get personal referrals. I’m sure you’ve tried everything but just thought another’s experience would either be helpful or validating.

This is a fantastic introduction to Clean Language by Dr. Caitlin Walker. I wish I was better at practicing clean language but this has inspired be to get back on the wagon.

omg - she figured it out. Secret Ivy League “Among Us” cabal.

Didn’t realize he was stepping down as ABC

I love how Apple Music put this together this year. Such an improvement!

Throw literally anything in the air fryer at 400 degrees for 9 minutes. Et voila!

I’m trying to come up with a new way to talk about either your individual or a groups readiness for change.

I’m calling it the “Glinda to Elphaba spectrum”. Are you getting along to get along or are you more leaning towards being ready to burn it all down?

Thank you so much! Really appreciate it!

Any chance I could get added?

I was a little kid in a house with parents who liked “oldies”. This album is pure Christmas to me.

I wonder is anyone said that what would happen.

You kinda told it?

“Progress over perfection” assumes everyone understands where we’re all going together. That’s where most leaders fall down. If you don’t know which way to go it’s easy to mistake any action for progress.

Continually amazed at how coherent the text that AIs is while also being totally contextless in terms of how people connect to one another. So literal.

“We are meant to work together like a lower and upper jaw.”

“Pruning Roses” is a great analogy for the human stuff. AI is great at flinging crap at the wall and seeing what’s sticks which, is legit useful. To @assaoh.boat.social’s point though, it doesn’t help us be better people.
