I don’t know know… maybe this is more of an ALABAMA idea…

Has anyone ever thought about how weird signatures are?

"No, see, if you just write your name neatly, we have no way of knowing what your intentions are...

...but if you write it neatly and also write it *messy*, THEN we can take you seriously!"

Wynton Marsalis, Founder of Jazz at Lincoln Center, to Step Down

Salty hot take: in his lifelong quest to β€œelevate” it, Wynton has done more than anyone in history to convince people that jazz is snooty and boring.

Happy 42nd Anniversary of George Michael’s heart being given away, for those who celebrate.

You know @andrewhickey.500songs.com, you drop these little factoids β€” like Mott the Hoople started out as Jimmy Cliff’s backup band β€” as if we’re just supposed to keep living our lives normally after hearing them.

Either may be what you want to convey, but they aren't interchangeable.

When you say "thank you" and I say "you're welcome", that is about YOU: "you may receive this with my compliments". When I say "no problem", that is about ME: "I am not inconvenienced by this interaction". That isn't the same thing at all.

Has anyone else noticed a trend of people saying "no problem" instead of "you're welcome"? Making that their standard response? Something always bothered me about it, and I just figured out what it is:

Wow. Rob Reiner. What an amazing artist, and by all accounts a lovely man, as well.

Inconceivable.

How can you help?

If you could get the f%$& out of the kitchen, that would be awesome.

Rhythm guitar, not bass, but this makes me think of the handwritten β€œWhere’s Izzy?” sign in the video for Guns & Roses’ β€œDon’t Cry”.

My Star Wars take is that the first movie is called β€œStar Wars”.

When you meet someone from your hometown, you always pretend to be friends.

Maybe part of this is how uncomfortable people are with the true complexity of things. Everything that happens is at the meeting point of a literally unfathomable number of interacting factors. No story can ever be THE story.

My modest accessibility proposal: very tall people should get exit row seats without having to pay an upcharge.

β€œCompetent” is the right word. She’s a solid pro, which isn’t easy, but not an innovator of any kind.
