We had to let go of our sweet, sweet boy Gizmo this afternoon.

We can never repay the love you gave us or how much you made this universe not just tolerable, but a better place. But we thank you for letting us love you all the same.

I will miss you, and love you forever, my sweet, sweet boy.

I lol'd but also lol

I think the logic here is to specifically tie it to his Dark Tower series. If that's the case I'm all for it.

Every Saturday I make a playlist of the Top 20 Countdown from this week in 1985.

This week β€œJungle Love” exits the Top 20, presumably because white people, George Michael hangs onto #1, and the Beverly Hills Cop soundtrack gets some deserved love.

Jack Dorsey just halved the size of Block's employee base β€” and he says your company is next | TechCrunch Jack Dorsey has long been an open admirer of Elon Musk. Now, it seems, he may have been taking notes.

Leaving Spotify is a must, but for those preaching the virtues of Tidal know that Jack Dorsey has owned it for a minute and this is how he operates.

Yes, but YHF is a distant 4th in the order of great albums they’ve made.

That they were able to make you believe they WERE R.E.M. from back in the day. It wasn't a tribute act, it was a channeling of the spirit.

Very much looking forward to catching one of the Pagent shows

the reason music culture used to differentiate between mainstream entertainment v underground art, corporate major labels v indie labels, DIY v development deals, & selling out v integrity should be self-evident w/how music criticism died almost instantly after it's neoliberal embrace of poptimism
