Nothing witty. I lost my wit years ago in a fire sale. I love music. I love food. I love conversation. Twitter seems like a great place for the latter.

[TheMix @TheMix]

Sorry... Preachy post. I just miss some of y'all

[TheMix @TheMix]

Reminder to my friends on here.

There is a much better place similar in structure to this one where you can post, have fun, and doesn't have a billion bots along with generating CSAM

It's tough to quit, bc most of your friends are here, but you can also convince them to leave

[TheMix @TheMix]

@shaylarz Gotcha.

I just miss everyone 😭

[TheMix @TheMix]

@shaylarz Genuinely wondering... Why is Twins Twitter still over here?

Is it a problem with the functionality of the good place? Just that Admin isn't over there? I don't really understand.

[TheMix @TheMix]

@shaylarz Orrrrrrrrr you could herd the cats here, over to there. 🤔😉

[TheMix @TheMix]

@shaylarz I'm only back very briefly because I had a feeling you'd post this, and I wanted to see it.

[TheMix @TheMix]

First Twins game of Spring Training. I super miss my Twins friends from here.

So I say, selfishly, Please come away from this terrible place. I promise the other place is a floppity-jillion x's better.

[TheMix @TheMix]

@2007warpedtour I only came back to this hellsite to see your reaction to the festival lineup.

[TheMix @TheMix]

Just popping back over, apropos of nothing, to say that the other app would WELCOME Twins Twitter with open arms.

We've missed all of you (and I, for one, have no desire to ever come back FT to this place)

[TheMix @TheMix]

Really hope that the Reporters/Journalists/etc. that have all made accounts, but not been posting all that much realize the engagement difference.

[Andrew Dessler @AndrewDessler]

as an experiment, I posted the same post to twitter and bluesky. here is the time series of engagements (sum of comments, reposts, likes) from the two platforms.

[TheMix @TheMix]

This app has been a place of rage bait for a Long time now, and I just can't be around that anymore. I'll be around from time to time, assuming others don't fully leave this hellhole, but my mental health is better without it. The ppl are kinder at the other place... And real

[TheMix @TheMix]

I know no one gives a damn, but I doubt you'll be hearing much of anything from me on this app anymore. Spent the last couple days on BlueSky without checking this app at all and have felt Much better about my social media intake.
It's a much better app and space rn. Come on over

[TheMix @TheMix]

This Man. If you ever are just in need of music that will take you to a better place (as I trust we all will for the foreseeable future)... Find yourself some Lou Donaldson.

Here's a couple pictures of him I took at The Dakota.

[The Jazz Estate @thejazzestate]

We are deeply saddened to hear of the passing of bandleader, composer and saxophonist Lou Donaldson.

Known as “Sweet Poppa Lou” Donaldson was the final surviving member of the original Art Blakey quintet that in 1954 introduced “hard bop” into the growing jazz lineage of classification. He also stands as a pioneer of soul jazz, helping to shape the genre by merging bebop with blues, gospel, and R&B elements.

Known for his rich, soulful tone and groove-oriented sound, Donaldson made jazz more accessible and danceable, paving the way for the soulful, funky styles that followed. His innovative approach, particularly on albums like Alligator Bogaloo and Blues Walk, helped expand the music’s reach to a broader audience while maintaining its expressive depth.

Donaldson also helped launch the career of Clifford Brown, the gifted trumpeter who was just 25 when he was killed in a 1956 road accident. He also was on hand for some of pianist Horace Silver’s earliest sessions.

@JohnCar73352020 @DonaldTNews I too hate the first amendment

[TheMix @TheMix]

@ChrisMurphyCT Didn't we quite literally just do the latter this election?

[TheMix @TheMix]

@2007warpedtour Everyone should watch the Omnivore episode on bananas.... Very eye opening.

They all are, in fact
