People claiming that a lab accident leading to a death in Russia *that we heard about* means that SARS-CoV-2 was definitely a lab leak is a logical leap that makes absolutely no sense. (Setting aside extensive evidence that SARS-CoV-2 was almost definitely associated with the Wuhan wet market)

Very impressed with #BillyStrings for speaking up about the recent problems of unwanted sexual advances (not by him) at his shows. He spoke up to say he wants his shows to be safe spaces and that non-consensual advances are not ok and not welcome. He didn’t have to say anything as it didn’t […]

Open the Duo to pick and 'insert' the cassette, Close the Duo to start listening. And Yes, I actually recorded the button clicks and static noise from a real Walkman! 😀 This was for @BitRigApp ’s hackathon today. Fun 3 hr sprint.

Not only is Bob Kraft wrong to think that what Macklemore said on stage is antisemitic, he’s also crazy to think this extremely high-profile censorship is going to limit the reach of Macklemore’s message instead of making way more people hear about it than would otherwise. Retire, Bob.

I ask this every 4 years, but since every rabid soccer fan hates penalties (me too), why don’t they change the rules so they just keep playing? Yes, players are tired, but the rosters are 26 people, couldn’t the rules allow more subs in extra time? Maybe even allow people subbed out to come back in?

Given this Geese fake viral marketing news, I decided I needed to get out ahead of this story before it hit the news: one time in 1995 I hung fliers for the jam band Percy Hill in exchange for free admission to their show, a $10 value. I apologize for not disclosing this relationship at the time.

Fascinating Jerry Garcia quote in Cameron Crowe’s memoir “The Uncool”:
He was immediately gregarious
and delightfully prickly.

"Fuck people's music, man," Garcia said, and laughed. "That kind
of thing really irks me."

This was decades before Napster or Spotify, but Garcia could see it coming in the summer of 1973. The people's hippie, the guru of the Summer of Love, was already militant about not giving music away for free. "To get so you can play music," he continued, "you have to sacrifice a lot of what would have been your normal life. You know what I mean?
For lack of a better phrase, you have to pay the dues to get so you can play music. It's not a thing you just do. If that were so, everybody'd be making their own music and there wouldn't be professional musicians.
There'd be no need for them. For someone to deny the fact that you spent a certain amount of your life working on some sort of discipline and learning how to play... that's the rip-off. That's the state versus the individual. Anytime someone comes down on artists and claims their work on any level, I think that's pure bullshit. There's been too many great musicians who died poor. People's music? It just ain't so." 

Scully wandered into the room, catching the tail end of Garci's statement. "That's the confusion that's created a lot by the press," he said,
"who identified the Dead with a sociological movement that happened in the Haight-Ashbury, right? So by the time the Grateful Dead got to New York for the first time, nobody would cover them as a music story.
Instead, the ban
