Pretty sure it’s a copyright thing. Venues need a blanket ASCAP license to cover performers playing covers.

FYI: I’m BertOni on neko.maison Say hi, if you’re over there.

My dog has a UTI . 👎👎👎

Take Gen Z's phones away. You don't have to appreciate Em's music to acknowledge the dude was one of the biggest pop stars in the world five years before that collab dropped. These are the same idiots who use "I Stan..." with no idea where that phrase came from.

Nobody talks about the benefits of smoking anymore. A meditation on cigarettes, Fran Lebowitz, and a song from Baltimore rapper Teddy Faley.

At 40 years-old, the only thing I've learned is the more tabs I have open, the less I accomplish.

I'm worried the United Nations isn't active on Truth Social.

I love to cancel necessary medical procedures because my insurance lapsed while I wait for my former employer to send the paperwork I need to apply for COBRA. I'm not worried my five year-old will have an injury that requires medical attention. The American healthcare system isn't broken. [sarcasm]

I might as well take care of Oracle, UKG, and corporate HR while I’m at it.

If anyone wants to spend their afternoon burning down the insurance industry, I’m forming a posse during my lunch break.

They sell candy at my new work, and I'm going to be a broke diabetic within a year. I need to be forced to travel to a gas station for this shit.

Field of Dreams for me.

Transmissions :: Mike Ayers (The Untold Story of '90s Jam Bands) Podcast Episode · Transmissions · December 10, 2025 · 1h 15m

I really enjoyed @aquariumdrunkard.com December conversation with Mike Ayers on the untold story of 90s jam bands for Transmissions: podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/t... I found the discussion around the shifts in fandom super interesting, even if I don't look back on most of this music fondly.

Whatever the moon and planets are doing has no bearing on me.

When I think about the meeting where someone pitched the concept for the sweetgreen™️ restaurant chain and it's just someone saying, "Imagine if Panera wasn't terrible and didn't actively try to kill its customers."

Fair!

Although, it's necessary for the ACLU to run this campaign. So I'm probably being naive. bsky.app/profile/aclu...

What would place you in danger? As a white, cis male, native citizen, I enjoy relative freedom as long as I avoid organizing a mob to overthrow the government (something I consider daily). Obviously, we'll remain an embarrassment for the foreseeable future. But I think you'd be safe for a visit?

After two decades, is Louisville's Ryan Davis dancing on the edge of something bigger? Ryan Davis stops through Indy before heading back into the studio to cut the follow-up to his critically-acclaimed "debut."

I'm still proud of this feature I wrote on Ryan Davis a few weeks before he and The Roadhouse Band went into the studio to record their breakout record 'New Threats from the Soul' substack.com/home/post/p-...

Few things more humbling than a career pivot. Two weeks into a new role in a new industry, and I feel like an incompetent buffoon. I'm sure this feeling will only last a year or two.

I need to figure out how to block all PAC texts before the primaries.
