I’m really not sure what to think about the new Strokes sound … I like the instrumentation and the sizzling distortion – but Julian Casablancas has completely turned into a vocoder, wtf. 😅

We had a very special weekend. Two concerts with a 15-year-old assistant concertmaster ❤️ and his violin, surrounded by an orchestra of talented young musicians, all playing together at a level that was pure joy to watch – and hear! ☺️

Make your own web quizzes!

Unnatural

Content warning: This poem is about the ongoing heat in Europe. I strike an optimistic tone toward the end, but if you would prefer not to read about the heat, I offer you one of the Scottish poems I have written in stead. Nature’s weary tears fill the air; invisible, warming. Relentlessly, days proceed. Hours pass; Celsius rises. Midnights: warm like day. We stay inside. Blinds closed, water glasses full, cookers off. Flowers bloom early. Eyelids weigh; we yearn for rest that does not come. Heat ravages the continent. London is Rome. Roads reduce to liquid, power lines sag: infrastructure is under stress. Headlines depress. Hope: We come together, reaching with open eyes. Her resiliency: Our future?

What is it with teachers that they still don’t allow Wikipedia as a source but happily let students cite ChatGPT et al. – “just make sure to also include the prompt in the citation.“

… what?!?!? 🤨😂

I am continuing to experiment with writing some fiction on this blog. Here is a story I wrote today. Where were words when you needed them the most? Lena had been searching for the answer to that question for her whole life. For Lena, telling a story to light coming from a ...
