I had an idea to create a way of communicating outside of the system using their technology to go around them and man... Every time I make something, I realize it hasn't been done yet because it was waiting for me. That is a trip.

It's funny because I, a Millennial, wouldn't mind hearing what the new music sounds like. But when I go out, all they playing is music that I grew up with in the spot. Like, do the kids not make catchy shit!? Why is everything remixed 90s/2000s stuff? LOL I be so confused man.

My question is always, "If I see past the hyperbole, is there an everyday case for this?" With Jev, I applied it to a real-world usage case -- I'm a DJ, with a large catalog! Then experimented to see where Jev and I agreed on the next track to play, or not. rmichaelthomas.com/technology/t...

The Next Track: a DJ second opinion from Jev
Pick what's playing and where the room should go. The Next Track narrows your Rekordbox library by tempo, key and genre, then Jev picks what to play next.

Yeah, I don't know man, maybe it is time to duck off and be a Luddite and just disappear. Everything is exhausting.

I have decided to take a crack at my own AppView. I hadn't really planned on doing any more building on the Atmosphere but...this idea is too good and is very me, and, well, why not? LOL. I never stop myself from trying, that's where the learning happens.

At this rate, I'm just going to tune out the fall of this Empire. Whatever girl, y'all got it. I'm tired. And at the end of the day, THE DAY GON' END! America is yet another tale just coming to its inevitable denouement. And we're all just footnotes in the end, anyway.

I saw this clip of Sir Tom Jones, 85 years old, bell as clear as a whistle, singing Leonard Cohen's "Tower of Song" actually had me in TEARS this morning. I had not heard this song before NOR his cover. I watched this 3x and just...cried. Thank you, Tom. www.youtube.com/watch?v=O6Mg...

OK, so bet. Someone sends you footage of the moon landing. You want to know if it's real. Turns out you're actually asking three different questions — and two of them are now solvable. 🧵 (1/5)

A hands-on Planes editor: type one line of real Planes at a time, watch the garden paint itself line by line, and click any part to ask where it came from. No Run button — a correct line runs itself.

Have to remind myself that some people enjoy being miserable and nothing you do will change it. They have to change that for themselves. The people that say yes to everything because they thrive on finding others to be miserable and commiserate with in their negativity, never their joy. RUN!
