Good morning, friends! Have you ever listened to Phillip Glass and thought "I like these textures, chords, and subtle variations. But why does it go on for 10-15 minutes?" If so, Vibes in G Major is for you. Listen and tell your friends.

@BowTiedCrow Pretty sure that's a It's Always Sunny in Philly episode.

Gonna sell gas on Facebook marketplace

Stilling working on some actual songs. Nothing fancy. Just acoustic and vocals. Old folk vibes. Focus on storytelling. Though I need to practice chorus writing. Singing about stuff I think is cool.

@JoelWebbon What course?

Prediction: We get crushed in 2026 and 2028. America First replaces MAGA in 2032. Stay the course.

@BowTieScapeGOAT Lol. I don't know. "Perfect" is doing alot of work here. Maybe I post a vid of me singing it.

@LS_Keyes Put it on an album!

Keyes Kid was playing with the neighbor girl that had a cheap portable karaoke machine. She asked if I wanted to sing. I sang a perfect rendition of The Wizard and I, and Wonderful. She said "You sing real good."

I wanna take this meme and moment to thank all ten of you here that now only listen to my music, But pay your hard earned cash for a copy. You guys are the best. I would kiss all you if I could. No homo.

@KevinCotedge Including Ayn Rand. That pinko commie harlot.

@LS_Keyes Based

Reading books is spiritual gay. Think about it. You are letting another man skullfuck words into your head.

@BowTiedQuoll @fde_enthusiast7 Is that your book by him? His style took some getting used to for me. I like everything I've read by him though. Definetly worth reading.

@LS_Keyes @fde_enthusiast7 I want to like Blood Meridan its just a tough read. I'm gonna try it again but man, its tough

He’s one of the greatest American novelists but you can’t think of anything to say about him but that he’s “great”

@AuronMacintyre Why is he one of the Great American Novelists?

Since we're doing the Blood Meridian discourse it should be made clear that Cormac McCarthy is one of the greatest American novelists of all time and anyone who doesn't understand this must be deported

@BowTiedPhRaptor I don't mind it tbh. Perhaps a little excessive but no one is perfect. But if I wasn't a happily married man, she could play my major key.

@LS_Keyes I just hate the 1920s flapper aesthetic. She looks like a background extra from a community theater production of the Great Gatsby

I don't get why people are upset about a lady pianist in a sexy outfit. You would expect this from gays and ugly women.

@StephenLimbaugh I don't get it. Woman pianist in a sexy outfit? Only gays and ugly women should have a problem with this.

Unpopular Opinion: It’s ok to play Prokofiev or Scriabin in this but not Mozart or Brahms. 😂

@roguewealth @retailrefugee @elonmusk I do my best. 🫡

@LS_Keyes @retailrefugee @elonmusk Well explained gentlemen.

In other words, don't bother writing long-form articles.

@jameszimmermann A fellow Reuben Respector.

@LS_Keyes This is ok.

Day 3 of sustaining myself on Ruebens from left over corned beef. Feels good man.

@retailrefugee @roguewealth @elonmusk What is vision without clarity? Magic thinking.

Their problem is that they have vision without understanding. @elonmusk wants X to be the Everything app. Cool. He’s not the first. That belongs to Microsoft Excel, the OG Everything App. And at the core of Excel is the understanding that an Excel user wants, above all else, the ability to structure their data. Everything Excel does is built on that fundamental understanding. X has features sans understanding. The X user wants, above all else, the ability to put a specific message in front of a specific audience. And instead of providing that, X builds features on top of an algorithm that selectively boosts or suppresses reach based on compliance. On the one hand, I get it. On the other, we’re all painfully aware how well TikTok did this prior to the Biden admin’s meddling and how lackluster X has been since rebranding. Until that’s fixed, most of these features are just boxes being checked at the expense of core functionality.

@endlesspassages Don't worry, fren. Nikita has just announced Article Summaries. One click and Grok will do it for you. But people are absolutely logging onto X to read 2000 word articles. Nikita has the numbers that prove it.

@LS_Keyes I can’t stand X articles. If I actually want to read one my workflow is: bookmark - copy article from laptop into Notes - export note to Kindle - sync Kindle Reading long form on phone is impossible yet they’ve shut down export options as much as they can to keep you on the app

I don't believe you. I don't believe that many people are reading X articles. I don't believe your traffic numbers. I think you're full of shit.

@roguewealth All I'm saying is if I'm gonna drop 44 bil on something. You can bet your bollocks to a barn dance that I have a plan.

@LS_Keyes I absolutely agree with that last statement.
