New episode! podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/g... 🍏🕉️☮️✌️💜 Legendary session drummer Bernard Purdie has long claimed that he played on some of the early Beatles recordings. This week, I investigate the evidence behind those claims and ask: is there any truth to Purdie’s story?

Bob Dylan has played "Ballad of a Thin Man" 1,361 times live. Over all that time, the song has had a number of different arrangements—from sax solos to spooky echoes to a one-off Swing Revival version. I broke them all down:

Heading up the Welsh coast, watching the mountains wreathed in autumn mist, and listening to The Band’s mysterious first album ‘Music From Big Pink’ I feel connected to something unspeakably sad and ancient - myself, probably…

I can’t believe I’ve never thought of this before: Jagger, Bowie and Ferry have all experimented with facial hair, but… Lou Reed never grew a beard.

Federal immigration goons use their vehicles to confront a crowd of demonstrators protesting ICE in Tacoma, in what eyewitnesses say was an attempt by the suspected Feds to intimidate them. You can see the crowd stand their ground, and the goons drive off.

Facebook has a thing where you take a selfie to verify it’s you after being hacked and disabled, but apparently it takes a while and no guarantee it’ll work. Losing the ability to promote my biz is bad but i can’t even veg out on reels of people opening packs of baseball cards and stuff. My algo!

I've heard people make claims that AI would lead to a new Renaissance, but I didn't imagine it'd happen like this:

Screenshot of a Tweet from Pope Leo XIV. It reads:

"In this era of artificial intelligence, it is becoming urgen to distinguish human art from what machines produce. There is an ontological difference, even before an aesthetic one, between art and what a machine can generate through statistical calculation based on millions of images created by others. Algorithms lack the spark of humanity. For this reason, the Church wishes to renew an alliance with artists and cultural institutions to safeguard our humanity."

Found the exact reference: Costello explained that celebrating a 50th anniversary "seemed like something the Queen of England would have", noting that commemorating the half-centennial was "just too straight" for his 1977 debut album. ✅

Your periodic reminder that the decision to pursue a professional ballet career happens at similar or earlier age to most youth gender affirming care and has significantly more lifetime impact on peer socialization, how the body looks and overall health than social transition and puberty blockers.

25th Amendment? We can’t even get network news to air it or even mention it. It’s a massive national media coverup to hide the fact the we have an addled president.
