I imagine Twitter was particularly horrible after the halftime show.

Many people are past a point of empathy. They’ve said and heard the quiet things loud too many times for too long now. So the hostility in the words and actions? It’s real. It is wrath. And it’s probably past the point where we should absolutely be taking it at face value.

Keep em coming!

2025 Triumph Tiger Sport 800 first ride review The new Tiger Sport 800 may look like a copycat of its 660 sibling, but additional power, better suspension, and stronger brakes make it a cat all its own.

Today at Common Tread, see Dustin's test ride of the Triumph Tiger Sport 800, a #motorcycle many of our readers have been anticipating. It may look like the smaller 660, but the 800 is a Tiger with its own stripes. #motosky 🏍️ www.revzilla.com/common-tread...

I improvised a little 12-bar blues last night that went a sorta like this:
*pinkyflub/muted e/plunkplunk/bad barre bad barre/wrong chord wrong chord wrong chord*

Any chance this might get re-published as a kindle e-book?
