Reposting the first 3 pages with the latest 2 pages! SO I could fix a typo, though there may be more, I'm no editor. ENJOY!!

four more things. 🌈⭐️ please love them if you get them.

More people should care about sales tax, I think. Pretty wild that it's just the norm in 45 states. It's regressive, disproportionately affecting low-income households. An extra $10 is a larger percentage of a retail worker's income than it is of a millionaire's.

Sin that must be eternally punished is a culturally Christian idea that you can and should reject. If someone admits wrongdoing and changes their behavior, that's the desired outcome. You don't continue to punish because you then signal there's no point to contrition at all, you're damned either way

Good for Tidal. Happy to be a subscriber. techcrunch.com/2026/06/29/t...

TIDAL cracks down on AI music by cutting off monetization | TechCrunch

In addition, TIDAL will use automated tools to remove AI-generated music that attempts to impersonate an artist or a group, the company said.

Tidal decided to pivot and move in the opposite direction of Spotify by restricting genAI on the platform, and just added this toggle that banishes the garbage it detects from my queues. As if anyone should need yet another reason to drop Spotify lol.

I noticed a couple years ago that my left eye has a cooler, greener tint, and the right has a warmer, reddish tint. Strange to think about how I not only see the same color differently from other people, but also between my own two eyes.

Obsessed with Aaron Richards' vocals on To Be Alive by Puppet. Tried to parrot some of his texture and emotion here. #singing

#Music “All of us who do creative work, we get into it because we have good taste. But there is this gap. We know our work doesn’t have this special thing that we want it to have. We all go through this. It’s normal to take awhile. You’ve just gotta fight your way through.” –Ira Glass
