I'm a lawyer using Office all day every day and I've never touched Co-Pilot. It's offensive to me that I can't turn it off (and raises concerns about data security for clients) and I can't see how it offers me anything useful.

This is how you destroy republics - but throwing all your principles out the window and getting in bed with cretins and sociopaths because you think it'll get you a short-term policy win.

That is standard language for a final release and discharge of claims following a settlement agreement, and it's not "ever again" it's for anything that occurred prior to the date of settlement. The real question is whether this was an appropriate settlement or a result of corruption.

Holy smokes guys there's a never-before-released song on the Under Wraps box set called "Bring Back the Waltz" and it's honestly Ian Anderson doing Michael Jackson and it's awesome.

And yet here we are, talking about a great new New Pornographers album again, like clockwork. I'm really enjoying the lower-key vibes of this one. Nice contrast to the usual manic energy.

I can't remember the last time I heard a song as good as "The Book of the Living" by Shagohod, from their new album "The Curse that Hides the Door". It's "so good it makes me want to quit music" good.

Trump at 42 vs. me at 42? I'd probably put the odds on Trump. I'm a fit and healthy guy but Trump's got 4" and 50lbs on me and he looked like a pretty strong dude in his prime. Me at 42 vs. Trump at 79? Fight's over in less than 30 seconds. What's wrong with Republicans? He's an elderly man.

I run a fair bit - at my best, I ran a half marathon every day for a week, and did a 5k in 22 minutes, which is a really good time. I could not run *one km* at the pace these guys run for 42km. A sub-2hr marathon is a totally unfathomable, incredibel athletic feat.

I am generally a man who opposes political memes in all their forms, but had to make this after Trump threatened to completely obliterate Iran and then bailed at the last minute (again). Reminds me of another oft-repeated completely impotent threat of despicable violence.

It depends on the bluray player. They play back in most Sony's but not in lots of other players (current Panasonic, LG, and Samsung players do not play SACDs. Some older ones do).

Versa @versamusic.bsky.social · 02/04/2026

FWIW I've had these albums on SACD for almost 20 years and the surround mixes are fantastic ("Entangled" is one of my go-to tracks if someone wants to hear what surround sound music sounds like)

It's been two weeks since we released the music video for our song ARTEMIS, and today the real Artemis II spacecraft is launching on a mission to the moon, so if you haven't checked it out yet, take a few (or 20...) minutes to watch Artemis! youtu.be/KwmFSEeq-aQ
