Joe Emison @joeemison.com · 04/08/2026One of the most fascinating/saddest/stupidest experiences of my life was seeing how an FTC consent order was drafted (by someone who didn’t know what they were doing), and then how even that person didn’t understand what it said. Not surprisingly, it was not effective! 020

Joe Emison @joeemison.com · 12/07/2026I’m amazed at how bad music criticism is relative to TV & movie criticism. I’m not sure quite why, but something like 70% of the music criticism I read just misunderstands the music.
