Were "bridge" and "middle 8" always synonymous? I always thought a bridge could refer to a middle 8 but was more commonly the bridge between the verse and chorus (what is now referred to as the "pre-chorus").

I think it's bad that the Democrats' House leader is having secret chummy meetings with a guy doing a domestic ethnic cleansing operation and funding a genocide abroad, then spending his entire week going on cable news to complain about a lefty Twitch streamer who nobody knows. Sorry for offending.

Dolly Parton rose from poverty to stardom. She gave $500 to every student in her hometown who finished high school; she built hospitals & bald eagle preserves; her Imagination Library has gifted 300 million books to children. Roger Ebert met her and came away thinking she was a literal angel. RIP.

“In Dallas for the premier of '9 to 5', I had an uncanny experience, and on the plane home to Chicago I confessed it to Siskel: I had been granted a private half hour with Dolly Parton, and as we spoke I was filled with a strange ethereal grace. This was not spiritual, nor was it sexual. It was healing and comforting. Gene listened and said, "Roger, I felt the exact same thing during my interview with her." We looked at each other. What did this mean? Neither one of us ever felt that feeling again. From time to time we would refer to it in wonder.”

Sometimes, when someone dies, what helps me is thinking about how wonderful it is that they were even alive in the first place. Dolly was the closest you could get to an American saint. We all loved her.

In fairness, I think this "problem" "goes away" when we stop thinking of publications as end states, and start thinking of them as checkpoints. You're never going to solve everything. It's fine. If those problems are inspectable, acceptable, and addressable, then future us can handle it (laudatory)

Reread my blog post on the biggest problem in statistics. On re-read, I still don't think it is terrible (other than the typos and things). So I'll repost. timcdlucas.github.io/the-biggest-...

“…as peer reviewers or question askers at conferences, we must accept that our pet issue is not more important than the other 10 issues and if the analyst has had a good go at handling a bunch of issues, we can’t just pile more and more issues on them to fix. It is impossible.”

This is what the growth of surveillance is going to bring. Not safety from crime, but new, non-criminal acts redefined as criminal so as to give the police an excuse to exercise power. local12.com/news/offbeat...
