Likewise, I’ve heard from scientists that conferences here in the US that used to be full of researchers from around the world have become mostly US-only as people abroad don’t want to travel here.

I like Earl Grey, hot, with milk. The kids call this a “Dirty Picard.”

Thanks for sharing. I didn’t know he was on Bandcamp! I love his song Super Dope.

Impressive. I wonder if any other labels will follow suit.

Very laid back.

Great choice. I was going to recommend Sweet Baby Ray’s, but Stubbs is pretty similar.

I grew up in CA but now live in the southern US. I get really tired of hearing this. Yes, the cost of living is ridiculous and the wildfires are terrible. But it’s actually a lovely place, on balance, and I enjoy my visits. The folks here seem to think CA is a crime-ridden urban hell.

No, but I found this thread! Who are your favorite hyper pop artists right now?

What a coincidence! I also had scrambled eggs with feta on toast for breakfast. Only I had tomato slices instead of dill. Delicious! May try dill tomorrow.

Now they’re going to be exes and ohs.

Nice buns.

I’m a graphic designer at a research laboratory. It’s exactly what I want to be doing & I feel very lucky to have this job. I spend my days designing fact sheets, logos, infographics, and various corporate communications stuff. I also fill in as a photographer some days.

At a communications conference last week, a Bloomberg reporter told the attendees that most tier 1 journalists are looking for stories on LinkedIn now instead of Twitter. It’s gone from vital to junk in just a few months. Without its moderators, Reddit faces the same fate: lots of activity, but most of it junk.

This is what I’m waiting for. I began to leave Reddit the day they blocked .compact.

Same. I’ve noticed that a lot of the artists I like are releasing singles or EPs instead of albums right now.
