Touring musicians: how do *you* draft a set list? Do you have a very conscious formula or is it more instinctive? Tell me about your creative process there.

Can I recommend listening to “Love Again” by Dua Lipa as a kind of methodone to help ease you into total withdrawal.

A lovely evening celebrating the wonder that is Kylie Minogue. With author @mcragg.bsky.social and his book ‘Can’t Get You Out of My Head: in Search of Kylie’. Somehow we also won the Kylie Quiz. #Kylie @junobooks.bsky.social @neiljmathews.bsky.social

It's royalties day! Royalties should be standard practice in any creative field. If you spend your life on something, it should keep taking care of you. Today, we're passing $120,000 in royalties distributed to the artists, writers, and designers of Triangle Agency. I am so proud we get to do this.

Interviewer: can you explain this gap in your resume? Demand Planner: Statistically, the size of the gap in my resume is actually in the lowest quartile compared to a statistically significant sample of other candidates with similar age and experience levels. Yes, I know you stopped listening.

I spent the first half of this year running through the first two Ages of a MB campaign and it was some of the most successful GMing I’ve done. I’ve played a little fast and lose with the rules and myths when I needed a little more narrative cohesion but otherwise it’s been a blast.

A customer just tried to use an employee discount code that ChatGPT gave her. I work at a high-end clothing store and clocked in to my manager telling me about the most unhinged interaction from yesterday. A woman walked in asking if she could use a 40% off code she got online. We don't have any sales running, so my manager looks at the screen and realizes ChatGPT straight up handed this woman a real employee's internal ID number.

Twitter user dawnedEUW quote tweeting a "picture" of a white dragon laying on the ground: i can't help but notice that i am seeing a lot more dragon sighting videos since the advent of generative AI.

Could it be that AI's adverse effects on the environment are leading to a change in their behavior, e.g. lack of water sources that causes them to move closer to cities?

I listened to three Macklemore albums today. That wasn’t on my bingo card for 2026 but it seemed right under the circumstances. Seems like the only strike against him is earnestly blundering when trying to make a point in his music. Seem preferable to bending over to a billionaire cabal.
