Insane. Dangerous. Total nonsense. Full-blown anti-vax bullshit — and a reminder that if someone like RFK Jr. had been in control for the last few decades many, many more people would have died here and globally. I tried to give him the benefit of the doubt but he's a lost cause.

@JakeSherman So have a cup of coffee and catch your breath.

you know what? same.

@ChereneAubert @lovevalgeisler I agree with closing tabs daily! Huge difference. Marking all emails as read 1x/week is next level, though.

Adopting @ChereneAubert's rules for winning: once a week I'm closing all of my tabs and marking all emails as read. Going to feel so free. If it's meant to be/urgent, it will come back to me.

@TrungTPhan @BitGrateful “Gamehendge” which is a collection of songs with a loose narrative, and was Treys thesis in college “Imagine doing your homework so good you do it at Madison Square Garden 40 years later” 😂😂😂 youtu.be/KSO6H7e-Gm0?fe…

@TrungTPhan @BitGrateful This is *not* where I’d recommend actually starting, but it & the top comment speak to the deep fandom you mentioned in your original post. Every NYE, they play a 3-set NYE show with a “gag” that is a full theatrical performance. This year, they performed….(1/?)

Phish performed at Las Vegas Sphere this past weekend (2nd act at the venue after U2). Never heard a Phish song in my life but found this impressive stat: the group’s lifetime tour ticket sales are $600m+. My buddy who went to the Sphere show explained to me why the group is so popular: ▫️ “They are the best improvisational band out there because they’ve played together for ~40 years.” ▫️ “Music selection is super diverse and they blend every genre together (classic rock, jazz, funk, reggae, pop).” ▫️ “No two shows are ever the same.” ▫️ “They create fandom with inside jokes and band lore.” ▫️ “The band interaction with the audience is unmatched…they’ll get you to laugh, cry and scream in one go.” He also said a reason non-fans (like me) don’t know their music is because they’re recorded stuff is not as good as the live (making it harder for casual fans to get into it). The band has also been financially independent since the 90s and there’s no pressure to make “pop” music for radio plays or streaming. They mint from live shows and super fans that will travel to wherever they are and see 100s of shows in their life (similar to Deadheads with the Grateful Dead). Phish sold ~$30m in tickets for 4 shows at the Sphere (~$400 ticket x 18,000 seats x 4 shows) with some fans paying $10k+ in secondary markets. Of note: U2 did 40 shows at the Sphere but Phish only did these 4 and one reason why is that the band wants to keep its promise of every live show being different. It’s hard to make dozens of different live shows for the Sphere because of how much effort and data is required to fill the largest LED screen in the world (160k sq ft): ▫️12k resolutions ▫️ 268,435,456 pixels ▫️a minute of content for the Sphere is comparable to an hour of streaming video Super impressive and — after watching official drone footage of the concert — feel compelled to watch them live (which also makes sense since my last name makes a glorious Phish pun).

@ColoradoDOT Any sort of ETA on reopening westbound traffic?

@dickiebush great stuff - can you hit me with the prompt(s)!?

ChatGPT is overhyped. That's what I told myself after 2 weeks of trying (and failing) to use it well. Turns out, I was just a poor prompt writer. But after spending hundreds of hours tinkering, I've finally cracked it. And now, it's my personal writing assistant. Here's how:
