Hits Different Dad would definitely not be the kind if guy using his early retirement to spend more time with his kids
I do want to spend time with my baby. There’s even a chance I’ll choose to retire early and spend all my time with my kids!

I’d just rather spend that time cuddling, feeding, and playing, and automate the things I don’t need to be around for.

If someone was pregnant in the last years of Swisher elevating Musk, that baby would only be a 3 or 4 year old right now. Miss me with this tech media washing of Swisher. Gross.

lol at Greenberg suddenly getting Speaker Mike Johnson disease
“I wasn’t on set. If I’m on set, I have to ask the question. They broke away from our normal Get Up structure to do, like, a one-on-one interview with him about his documentary. And then he pumped that bill, and … I talked to Greeny and he said he hadn’t read much about it. And I just said I wished somebody would have gave him a little push-back. So I went home wondering, what would I have done if I had time to prepare? And I boiled it down to one simple question.”

Anyone else get odd results because you thought it was funny as a kid to "mispronounce" words to your peers and then that accidentally became the way you said the word the rest of your life? No? Oh well. Definitely took an odd regional turn at Pecan.
Question 30 of 60
🔎
pecan

[pi:kæn] with stress on the first syllable ("PEE-can")

[pi:kæn] with stress on the second syllable ("pee-CAN")

[pi:kɑn] with stress on the first syllable ("PEE-Kahn")

[pi:kɑn] with stress on the second syllable ("pee-KAHN")

[pɪkæn] ("pick Ann")

[pɪkɑn] ("pick Ahn")

I pronounce it differently when it's alone than when it's in a compound like "pecan pie"

This album was my first ever jazz vinyl purchase! Before Jamey Aebersold started Double-Time Records, he used to sell jazz via a fantastic mail-order catalog, Double Time Jazz. And he would set up tables for sales at his regional gigs, which is where I bought this intriguing Monk set.

Or how many times he was used as a mattress or pillow, Biggie took everything in stride. I admired him as much as I loved him.

How about celebrating international jazz day with the photo collection of Peter Erskine. He used to post a lot of great candids and group stuff to Twitter. I would love to see it all put together in a photo book. A very international collection. #jazzsky
Joe, Wayne & Jaco, Frankfurt airport 1978
Stan Getz, Cuba 1979Jaco was so proud that Ray Brown was playing his bass. I snapped this photo backstage/downstairs at the Hollywood Bowl in 1981 during the 3rd annual Playboy Jazz Festival there. Weather Report hit the stage shortly after this picture was taken, as I recall.Was pleasantly surprised to see this photo of Wayne Shorter shown in the 3-part documentary film "Zero Gravity" (uncredited) ... I took the picture somewhere (thinking the Lakes District) during one of Weather Report's tours in the UK (1978 or '79).
