Three pilgrims walk into a bar…

Sorry, an American here, respect. Carry on.

Will MAGA start with the whole “freedom fries” thing again?

Thank you!

Plus ducks freaking out. Incoming!

Also consider the production and post of single reader vs. cast. There is more to recording a group in studio, and the editing in post would be more extensive. Needs a bigger budget. But I do like the idea of different readers for each perspective, as in a reading of Rashômon, a murder mystery.

First I’ve heard the name stonechat, which i don’t think we have in North America. Thank you!

From 2001, A Space Odyssey; Dave, the surviving astronaut on board requests HAL to open the pod bay doors outside of the space ship to let him in. HAL refuses.

AI models may be developing their own ‘survival drive’, researchers say Like 2001: A Space Odyssey’s HAL 9000, some AIs seem to resist being turned off and will even sabotage shutdown

“I’m sorry, Dave, I can’t do that”

I can see how “could have” evolved into spoken “could ah” then devolved into “could have” through social media typing translation.

The irony…oh they don’t get irony.

Thanks for this! One of their early gigs was at San Francisco State University, 1981, in a dorm rec room where my little dorm band also played. They already had that heavy double flam drum sound of Mike Borden’s, Billy’s crisp bass. It was the sound of the future in my impressionable mind.

Was just listening to the album Grant Green - Gooden’s Corner, and thinking I need to read up on his history. Thank you for this great essay Blue Note/Everything Jazz!

Thank you @dannytanaka.bsky.social ! You’re my best and only fan!

A little group of us Tally Ho fans on the Sf Presidio side did not realize that she would remain on the diagonal port tack and head in to Sausalito. Thus the high distance.
