That's a set concept for a television production. The panel desk is there. Lol.
Trudy Morse of the Sun Ra Arkestra’s 1993 letter to Phil Lesh seeking an opening slot for the group in 1993. Apparently the Grateful Dead flowed some money to Saturn?! Super cool. Wish they kicked Sting to the curb and had the Arkestra. (via the Sun Ra Appreciation Society)

I'm grateful to everyone who posts music recs here. I haven't been listening as much in the past two years, opting more for old favorites and comforting music. If it can be considered a goal for 2026, I'd like to get back to listening more broadly again.

Everything time you interact with AI, it responds with things like “That’s a great idea!” That’s not a coach, that’s gaslighting and manipulation.
Aaron Rupar@atrupar.com · 8mo agoHassett: "The way to think about what AI & its agents can do is they can act as if they're the best coach you've ever had.
