@adidas your customer service sucks. I bought some pants, before they arrived the price dropped. To honor the new price, i have to return the ones i bought and buy them a second time? Fuck no. You can reverse the difference in the price thanks to the magic of computers.

@CarrieATipton I think it did. My mom worked for one of the rural electric coops that were created out of this. I had to write an essay about it once to win a scholarship.

@CarrieATipton Need a biz partner?

[drmattjonesmusic @DrMatthewJJones]

@DanDiPiero My pleasure. Also John Legend Ordinary People. Carole King's chords are really interesting, esp on the albums after Tapestry. Some of the progressions are wild.

[drmattjonesmusic @DrMatthewJJones]

@DanDiPiero Lenny Kravitz It Aint Over,

[drmattjonesmusic @DrMatthewJJones]

@DanDiPiero Most Carole King songs are replete with them. Melissa Manchester's "Easy." Barry Manilow's "Mandy."

@CarrieATipton 😂 i know this mood very welll

@POTUS 10,000 will do nothing to reduce the debt burden for most borrowers of student loans, and waiting this is in no way ample time for folks to know if payments will resume. #gobigonstudentdebt Mr. President, if you want your party to stay in power this Nov. #wedeservebetter

[drmattjonesmusic @DrMatthewJJones]

@DanDiPiero Timbre of the guitar for sure, but also the groove between guitar(s), bass, and drums sounds very slacker 90s to me: kind of languid tempo, it all fits together but feels very loose, apathetic. So there's an affective dimension to me. And overall the musical texture has 90s vibes

@Beyonceand @Drake "spaz" got @lizzo into hot water for using #ableist language. Can we expect a lyric change and apology from you? #HEATED #RENAISSANCE #DisabilityTwitter #ableism #DoBetter

[drmattjonesmusic @DrMatthewJJones]

@matty_som And Madman Across the Water is my fav so it's worth getting to know!

[drmattjonesmusic @DrMatthewJJones]

@matty_som Yes. The entire Captain Fantastic Album, Goodbye Yellow Brick Road, and Caribou are worth a listen. I also like A Single Man quite a bit

@Grubhub_Care shittiest delivery experience and customer care, multiple times, lost orders and no mechanism to track or contact a driver who takes the wrong order to just have them deliver it to the correct address.

@TonyGonzales4TX @TonyGonzales4TX had the power to help prevent this shooting yet values gun rights over human life. Their blood stains your hands. Do not quote the bible when you facilitated this mass murder with your vote. Have you no shame, sir?

@59dallas I love that people are saying these students aee "unprofessional" or "bullying" Younger. They are exercising their constitutional right to protest whereas RepubliKKKans literally tried to overthrow the govt on 6 Jan and thesd same people give that a pass as defending freedom

@JennieTweetz @AcademicsSay And if you cannot, give yourself the grace to accept that. I got nothing written in the fall due to COVID. And I had to accept that. Again: it's not a competition. But write if that's your goal and set realistic goals and schedules based on your situation.
