@vinniecolaiuta I'd be interested to hear you talk about this other side of Zappa.
Perhaps you already have and I've missed it.

A simple solution for Trump on #Tariffs which has broad public approval: reinstate the tariffs up to 20% across-the-board on foreign goods & ELIMINATE the individual income tax on 90% of all households (those w/ less than $250K in annual income). Polls show broad support for it.

Macron argues free speech is "pure bullshit" - Interesting how our core values—such as free speech, no collective punishment, the rule of law, tolerance of dissent, and belief in diplomacy—were built on such a weak foundation.

Maddux gets more interesting every time I hear him.

Before PitchCom. Before data rooms full of analysts. Maddux called his own pitches. The catcher was just there to catch. 🤯

Downloaded adobe to try editing a PDF
It was a mistake
The software is unusable
Everything about the UX/ UI that could be bad is terrible
The fact that this company still dominates is an indictment of the entire software industry
Stockholm syndrome as a business model

Jerry Goldsmith was born on this day in 1929. He composed some incredible scores, Chinatown, Poltergeist, Alien, Planet of the Apes, and more. One of his most famous pieces is the Dry Dock sequence in Star Trek: The Motion Picture: a six minute sequence as Scotty and Kirk fly around the USS Enterprise. Slow, yes—but vital. Star Trek had been off the air for a decade, and fans knew the ship mostly from grainy TVs. This is not only Kirk’s reunion, but ours too. Goldsmith’s soaring music turns it from a technical showcase into an anthem—the return of a cultural icon.

@bronzeagemantis The plucking of the harpsichord helps with the fucking of the music.

Here is Bach dance deep in forest, many small mens unusual face, some magenta face, primal dance around you in darkest forest...you think this is music for relaxation you bastards??? (Capriccio from partita 2 BWV 826) This performance gets that spirit better...
Bronze Age Pervert@bronzeagemantis
Bach prelude from English Suite in E minor BWV 810 ...a slower calm performance by serious face mans Amadeus Wiesensee ...I don't mind slower tempo but I don't think he FUCK it with enough evangelical fervor this is spiritist piece, still nice

Midwest America is BOOMING. Flying there next week to do a few stops. Unbelievable

This is boomer snark that misses the point
A $150 pair of shoes and a $1,000 phone aren’t "luxuries"
They've become baseline participation costs in modern American life
You need a smartphone to apply for jobs, access your bank account, do your schoolwork, and communicate with anyone
$150 shoes aren’t extravagant when a pair of basic Nikes starts at $90 and falls apart in 6 month
The real question that boomers cannot grasp
-Why does a young person in the wealthiest country in history need to spend $1,200/month on a shared apartment,
buy a $1000 phone designed to go extinct in a few years,
and carry $100,000 in student debt for a degree that was supposed to be the ticket to the middle class,
and watch home prices triple in 20 years while wages moved maybe 15%?
Nobody is claiming they can’t afford coffee. They’re saying that even doing everything right , a degree, job, no frivolous spending, the math doesn’t work the way it did in 1985 when you could pay tuition with a summer job and buy a house at 24 on one income.
Pointing at a kid’s shoes while ignoring the disparity in cost of living is missing the forest for the trees
Consumer goods are a net loss over time
And the things that actually build wealth, like property, education, healthcare, they all got 5-10x more expensive
Would you rather they get a magic marker from the dollar tree store and write it on a cardboard sign?
Imbecile.

Only in America can you find a kid wearing $150 tennis shoes, drinking a $5 cup of coffee, typing on his $1,000 cell phone, and complaining on social media that he is oppressed and that capitalism has failed him.

“For sure” in combination with Macron’s emoji 😎 got a totally new meaning in 2026. I‘ve just used it in a communication for the first time when it occured to me. @FrenchResponse
