There's a label between the Strat-style hardtail bridges that shows you how to use the volume knob. It reads:

Power & Volume Knob
Pull: Power-on
Push: Power-off
Full Volume -> Feedback!

the thing about the "you're out of touch if you haven't heard this song" discourse is that radio has been dead for well over a decade. it's extremely normal to listen to a lot of music but still never hear the songs at the top of the charts.

Jackie Jackson died two days ago. His death did not get the fanfare that the big celebrities get but I assure you he was no less than any of them: a titan astride the earth. In this thread, a few of the songs he played bass on. You know these songs. You know their bass parts. youtu.be/DKVB_CtU8XQ

All the stuff about greedy Ticketmaster and scalpers and all the rest is true but a distraction. Gig tickets used to be much cheaper because the shows would boost sales of the real product. A lot of huge artists would make a loss on the actual shows, but make stupid money from record sales.

Move over, pumpkin spice: September belongs to the BOG HARVEST. While many flock to apple orchards, the world’s peatlands are hitting their peak. Far from muddy swamps; bogs are the secret agricultural powerhouses you didn't know you needed. Join me in protecting these undervalued landscapes! 🧵 1/

My annual August 29 post (wherever I happen to post): This was the scene at San Francisco's Candlestick Park during the Beatles' final tour date, 60 years ago today. I'll repeat myself and ask, could you blame them for not wanting to play on stage before an audience anymore? A short thread:

A tweet from Michael Harriot: Here's a wonderful thing I noticed. If you talk to someone who was in choir or band at a majority Black HS, you'll eventually discuss those annoying fundraisers for uniforms, instruments, etc. A suprising number will say: "Oh, Dolly Parton paid for ours."

This is Loki, our Maine Coon and the cat of our hearts, and he went missing today. We have no idea how he got out, but he’s an elder, indoor cat, the whole region’s in an intense heat wave, and we’re really scared. I doubt I have any followers here in Martinez, CA, but if so, help? It’s SO hot

It seems relevant that the thing Isaiah is being sent to do in that passage is to deliver a prophecy of doom to his own people for having fallen away from the path of righteousness. So if these guys were like, Isaiah, that would be robustly bad news for...the United States.
