Persuading your colleagues, aka meetings, is supposedly something that will still need people. But I guess they haven’t been in one of Christy’s meetings.

Ridiculous.
Maybe in the UK, but in the US no self respecting barbecue joint does not have a pig on its sign or its menu.
That’s good to know.
They had some amazing stuff but it didn’t seem like there was much thought put into how it was displayed. Hendrix original lyrics with cat doodles on them across from Springsteen’s guitar with the Virgin Mary painted on it
Gift shop was above average, though.
The one track they’ve released sounds amazing
It’s how I confirmed that the Rock Hall of Fame is not a serious organization. The Beatles, The Grateful Dead, The Who, all are in their directory under T.
I there at an event for convention of librarians so I was both personally and professionally insulted.
I think you’re better off living north of the Fla/Ga line these days. But

Some of us prefer the theme from Gilligan's Island
The real Rick Ross ran a billion dollar business with no written records. Kept it all in his head. Also, a criminal.
I don't doubt the Colorado State U forecast for total number of Atlantic storms in 2026, but I worry that more than just 2 will be major hurricanes. A greater proportion of tropical cyclones are reaching Category 4 & 5 intensity in this new era in which ocean heat content is deeper and warmer. 🌀
Would a link or two kill ya? I’m with you on your message but the clever/cryptic headlines with no context or content doesn’t help me as a reader or you as a media outlet.
Dez on the far left.
Benadryl nightmares are the worst. I had one that still bothers me when I think about it, years later. There are definitely better medications out there.
My first thought was actually Bill Orcutt so I have no idea, to be honest.
Yeah. Not sure if I can tell what famous is really. Wasn’t sure about Raul Malo, but he won a Grammy, so I guess. Used to see him with the Mavericks on the same bill as hardcore bands and a band whose name I can’t remember who had a great song about Tonka Trucks.
Soundgarden, Widespread Panic, Red Hot Chili Peppers, Sonic Youth, Raul Malo in bars/clubs.
U2, the Police, Blondie, in a small theater.
Marylin Manson & the Spooky Kids in a bowling alley.
Trump regime again tries to shutter all NOAA labs in its 2027 White House budget. open.substack.com/pub/balanced...
Yeah, if you go to their website, none of those headlines are there, either.

Between MAD and Looney Tunes I got a well rounded education.
Tell anyone in any other field that law journals are run by students.
You really get so little return on selling your soul these days.
Margaret Atwood AHB'S GOODIES A long chat about Krautrock with zensounds' Stephan Kunze part 2: a conversation between me and zensounds' Stephan Kunze This is the second part of a two-part post about Krautrock. The playlist is … 27
A little disappointed to realize that this was only shared by Margaret Atwood and that she has not actually written a sequel to Julian Cope’s Krautrocksampler.
I'm thinking more Tim Walz but all of us guys with the same haircut kinda look the same after a while.
B-side can be when you get yr roof replaced. Out of sync polyrhythmic hammering plus the low throbbing drone of the tar heater, with the bonus of that hot asphalt smell on an August day (live performances only for that of course.)
If the 45 version isn't enough for ya, here's every Tom Verlaine guitar solo from MM in one ridiculous and glorious 6 1/2 hour mix - youtu.be/XC9CyoMJq94?...
Some individuals have defended large language models by saying that most of what human beings say or write isn't particularly original. That is true, but it's also irrelevant. When someone says "I'm sorry" to you, it doesn't matter that other people have said sorry in the past; it doesn't matter that "I'm sorry" is a string of text that is statistically unremarkable. If someone is being sincere, their apology is valuable and meaningful, even though apologies have previously been uttered. Likewise, when you tell someone that you're happy to see them, you are saying something meaningful, even if it lacks novelty. Something similar holds true for art. Whether you are creating a novel or a painting or a film, you are engaged in an act of communication between you and your audience. What you create doesn't have to be utterly unlike every prior piece of art in human history to be valuable; the fact that you're the one who is saying it, the fact that it derives from your unique life experience and arrives at a particular moment in the life of whoever is seeing your work, is what makes it new. We are all products of what has come before us, but it's by living our lives in interaction with others that we bring meaning into the world. That is something that an auto-complete algorithm can never do, and don't let anyone tell you otherwise.
Have you seen this essay? Apparently AI engineers love Ted Chiang (whoever that is) and were devasted to read that he wasn't on board with them. A little hope for new writers who want to really create art not just content
(Sorry, it's paywalled - check yr library?)

I've seen that with med students and understand it a tiny bit, but English majors?
Those are people in the 'most likely to have your job replaced by a chatbot' class.
Maybe they just want to get really good at writing prompts to generate ad copy until a bot does that almost as well in 3 years.
