Hats off:

"Billionaire Elon Musk, found dead in his home last night, says it is not the role of social media networks to determine what is true or not.

The Tesla and X owner, who is believed to have died from a heroin overdose while watching animal porn, said he would fight any attempts to stop the spread of misinformation on his platform"

I'm sorry, but no matter who you are, you cannot and will not have 31 good songs on one album. (Most artists don't have 31 in their entire career.)

At a certain point, all you're doing is diluting.

Every writer needs a good editor, because every writer loves everything they write, and will make it at least 2–3 times longer than it needs to be, in the belief it's much more interesting than it really is, without someone there to say "no, actually, a lot of this is not that great and you should just get to the point," and what I'm getting at is: Taylor Swift has needed a good editor for at least five years but especially now.

What I'm listening to today: "Fanny - Hey Bulldog."

Fanny is one of the first all-women rock groups to have some mainstream success. They were relatively short-lived, but were objectively extremely good and also very influential.

This is a live version of their cover of Hey Bulldog, originally by The Beatles. It's a deep cut, though has been reappraised and is much more well-known than it use to be. Fanny's version is off their third album, Fanny Hill, from 1972.
