What Brought Beyoncé, U2, and BTS to Amish Country? You’ve never heard of Rock Lititz. But before the pandemic put the industry on hold, the biggest names in music were joining its waitlist.

I find tour logistics so incredibly cool. This article from 2020 is a fascinating insight to everything that goes into putting on a show like Arirang and moving it around the globe.

I want a documentary about EVERYTHING, BigHit!

And now for something completely different. Please tune me out if you're not into #BTS. Ahem.
Yo, ARMY!
If you're going to Raymond James Stadium in Tampa for the concert this weekend, I need to give you the tea, because as a former Tampa resident, it is my least favorite concert venue in the world.

I personally loathe corned beef and cabbage. Blegh.

Good thread.
Also don't plant this. Our home's prior owner put one of these in the backyard, under where many wires come together. We have removed it twice. It comes back from shoots attached to remaining roots, I swear.

Just make sure you get the sugar free kind so you don’t wreck yr teeth!

They are really lovely, they just need MUCH bigger magnets, w better glue.

Me yesterday: why can I not leave my own teeth alone.

Inner voice: you have adhd and need more stimulation to focus on this tedious task.

Me: *sighs heavily, puts on bg music, gets a mint to suck on, can suddenly focus on the task.*

Acorn squash, they’re pretty sturdy and could probably double as a projectile.

The absurdly expensive fridge magnets shaped like historic Korean ceramics are a close second, tho, even if the magnets did fall off almost immediately.

My Tiny Hobi Purse. It has a cartoon rendering of him on the front, and is a tiny purse.

Jimin crouching on stage wearing a sleeveless white top. The lights are casting some very artful shadows on his flexed bicep.

now that's what I call some excellent stage lighting

Hello Mama Blue!!

I suspect he wld jump off fewer things if there were not six doting hyungs obediently watching him jump and enjoying his joy in the jumping.

There's actually a fun story behind this: the guy who was NYC superintendent of school buildings from 1891 to 1923 was an architect who believed in holistic learning, and wanted to inspire kids to rise out of poverty by giving them a sense of the possibility of granduer through construction.

Age vs Techno Was Never a Fair Fight… This Brutal Set Proves Why YouTube video by The Last DJ Nick Hayes

There's a 68 year old UK dude making great dance and techno music and uploading it to YT. You can do anything you want at any age. People will also watch/look/read/listen to it too.

I’ve had the same editor since 1967. Many times he has said to me over the years or asked me, Why would you use a semicolon instead of a colon? And many times over the years I have said to him things like: I will never speak to you again. Forever. Goodbye. That is it. Thank you very much. And I leave. Then I read the piece and I think of his suggestions. I send him a telegram that says, OK, so you’re right. So what? Don’t ever mention this to me again. If you do, I will never speak to you again
