“For every half-wit decision by a poseur in a 42-long, slim-fit suit, they report even harder. This ethic has been especially true in the renowned Sports section (of the ⁦@washingtonpost⁩)…” Thanks ⁦@SallyJenki⁩ for your insight. https://t.co/vSNgIcNm93

An excellent, concise article examining the proper role of AI—specifically LLMs— in science writing.

[Nicholas Fabiano, MD @NTFabiano]

Writing is thinking.

Don't let AI do it all.

My favorite ⚾️ team is the @SFGiants. As a kid in Georgia, my favorite player was Willie Mays. When I moved to the SF Bay Area, it was Clark, Bonds, Lincecum, Cain, Bumgarner, and Posey. But Clayton Kershaw is the best pitcher of the 2010s. To a great career!🥂

[MLB @MLB]

What a career for Clayton Kershaw! 🥹💙

He makes his final regular-season home start for the @Dodgers tonight!

Gerry Rafferty’s “Baker Street,” and any song with a John Coltrane solo.

[Melodies & Masterpieces @SVG__Collection]

What’s a great song with a fantastic saxophone solo?

[Bruce Pharr @BrucePharr]

Happy Birthday Pat!🎂🎸🎼 I’ve been fortunate to see him many times over the past 40 years, most recently performing solo last year at the Carolina Theatre in Durham. Spectacular!

Happy birthday to Pat Metheny, born on this day in 1954!

From his groundbreaking work with the Pat Metheny Group to collaborations with jazz greats and adventurous solo projects, Metheny blends jazz, folk, rock, and world music into something uniquely his own.

With his warm tone, lyrical phrasing, and fearless curiosity, he’s created music that’s both technically dazzling and deeply human.

A true modern guitar legend.

“Kaz” Kajimura’s efforts enabled his club—Yoshi’s—to become a Bay Area jazz tradition, giving hundreds of local students a chance to play on the same stage as jazz legends. A life well lived. #RIPKaz🥂🎼 https://t.co/uOdmc5GJtY

A very good list of iconic recording studios by @SVG__Collection. I was fortunate to visit many as head of product marketing for Ampex (456) studio mastering tape in 1985 - 86. I would add The Record Plant (New York, LA, and Sausalito, CA) and Townhouse Studios (London).

[Melodies & Masterpieces @SVG__Collection]

The most iconic recording studios in the world. A thread 🧵

We usually remember the musicians who made the music we love, but not many give credit to the places where the music was created...

1. Van Gelder Studio in Englewood Cliffs, New Jersey
