@RichardHatem Interested in your take on this article since I’m sure you deal with toxic fandoms in your line of work. How do you prevent overly sensitive studio execs from killing good work?

@bmcd67 Great seeing you as well! I really want to hear about Vegas. Folks I know who saw Phish there said it was incredible. (Sorry for the delayed response, I've moved to Mastodon these days.)
@Steven_Hyden I have a memory of you doing a podcast where you (correctly) called out Eric Clapton for being nothing but a sideman at best. Also talked about Duane Allman needing to come in and save his ass on a “classic” album.
Can you point me to this episode?
@benjy_eisen@suzydrano We have a great #Phish scene on Mastodon. Check out the https://t.co/i0FooWctHx instance. That’s the one you’ll want to join. Lots of ex-Twitter Phish folks are already there.

@MollyJongFast This is exhibit A in "we don't actually live in anything close to an actual democracy." The fact that a minority party can force such a major and unpopular policy without repercussion is extremely telling.
@KevinRothermel I've moved to Mastodon and love it.
Pros: no ads, no brands, much calmer, genuine engagement / conversation.
Cons: Instances are not tied together so finding your "people" is hard and there is no global search function at all. So it matters what instance you join.
@FOS He's suffering from an acute case of "hypocrisy" and a breakdown of his essential "moral functions." Doctors are recommending a large infusion of cash and a new "DGAF" treatment.
So if the @PGATOUR merges with LIV Golf (and the European Tour!?) that would create a monopoly with one entity controlling all of professional golf. (Similar to MLB NFL, etc.) and since we know in this society the one with the most money gets the most say, the Saudis now own golf
The debt ceiling deal doesn’t benefit average Americans; it benefits the wealthy and well-connected by cutting critical social programs and does nothing about wasteful defense spending.🧵
