Look at Fender bullying boutique guitar builders who don't have the money to mount a big legal defense. Mind you, there is no trademark on the Strat shape, that's why it's been copied by just about everyone. It makes me never want to buy anything Fender ever. guitar.com/news/industr...

guitar.comFender reportedly demands boutique builders stop making Stratocaster-style guitars: this is what it means for the industryAt least one US guitar brand is claiming that they’ve been told to destroy their S-type instruments and pay damages to Fender – but what are the facts behind the headlines?

Feeling overwhelmed with all of this. LISTEN. Another Louisiana resident (Marshawn is the only name we have) testifies against the state’s racial gerrymander, speaking truth to power up and down the hearing room and predicts how this story will end. Speak your truth, fight and believe.

If you're not in the mood to be filled with rage, then don't read the article. But if you would like a microcosm of the state of affairs in America, then by all means...

Even if you're an anti-EV weenie like Foxx an impassioned letter like this from a 10-year-old surely deserves some sort of kindhearted response, right?

I wish the algorithm was this friendly to me when I post about my music lol. Oh well, Senna deserves the love. And now I know how @patrickkingart.com must have felt about after posting his pie.

For those who don't live in Texas, Ken Paxton is a deeply horrible person. I'm trying to figure out his angle here because it defies his traditional MO

Music Ally@musically.com

Texas attorney general Ken Paxton has launched an investigation into Spotify, Apple Music, Amazon Music, YouTube Music and Pandora. It focuses on "alleged payola schemes in which they accept bribes to artificially promote certain songs, artists, or content".

I got my biannual bonus from work and wanted to treat myself to a plugin. Transit 2 is worthy of the hype. This thing can do so much with next to no effort. I'm kicking myself for not getting sooner.

The horse op-ed is an instant classic. I can't tell you how much joy this piece gives me. It should be taught in every introductory writing class in no small part because the horse arguments are so compelling. "I have noticed that human children get to eat cake. But I am bigger than the children."

Anytime I can think of where I agreed to do something after someone said "it's good to get outside your comfort zone", I've regretted it. It's taken me 44 years, but I realize I'm perfectly happy in my comfort zone.

Hello friends. I've been laying low since the whole Iran thing. I haven't really felt like getting on the internet much. But then I remembered a lot of you share fun and interesting stuff so I'll be checking back in regularly again.
