@Dan_in_BKK @PaulMasa3 X blocks for all sorts of reasons it seems, many are just a wrong word that offends the Elon-bot.

If anyone is on Bluesky and wants a photo starter pack, I think I've made one work:

This is a parody, right? Do they plan to litter the rooms with the dead and maimed to give it local flavour and authenticity? Maybe that's in bad taste but so is the local road toll.

@Tippmeister @Steve3Chang @TheRickWilson Sadly, yes he is.

@Grandpa__Lenin Same with crossings. All it would take is a handful of cops in roving teams hitting random crossings with instant fines and bingo, rich cops and wary drivers who don’t want to pay that fine.

@zul0ck @SVG__Collection Agree on the influence - Richard William’s book, The Blue Moment is superb on that. However, the irony is sales were quite low until the 1980s.

@yzilber And the cops at the intersection would actually try to take control.

The final part of my Doug Rogers/Harlequin story. The amazing and quite revolutionary EastWest sample library story, the LA studio - & then it all comes full circle, back to the music made in NZ at Harlequin.

@Ajarncom Just the standard Thai need to create as much pointless bureaucracy as possible in every situation.

@MdCL @tedgioia I'd add Jeff Parker, Isaiah Collier, Jaimie Branch (RIP), Rob Mazurek, Damon Lock, Tom Skinner, John Brandon Lewis - and you - to that list. It's a mighty time to be listening to contemporary cutting edge jazz.

@fishsauceisgood Yup, it’s racist as hell, and profoundly ignorant. That said, I’m in Paris two or three times a year, twenty times since 2017, and I find it pretty considerate day to day, much more so than London for example, or NYC.

@Jimuhl4 @Scaramucci Jim, he has one of the most listened to podcasts in the world, a million followers on X, is enormously successful, whereas, you, OTOH, are an anonymous halfwit. Who to trust?

@MBarghoornEvo @RnaudBertrand Yeah, because US military occupations have worked so well in the last sixty years. The US’s grasp of its military prowess and reality are diametrically opposed. The only wars the nation has won since WW2 are Panama and Grenada.

@seftonhanley Flying out of Changsha airport to DMK last year (several times) is one of my most pleasant airport experiences ever. Nice people, orderly, good airport (with a craft beer bar in the waiting zone) and good food.

Part 4 of my history of Auckland’s Harlequin Studios and its owner, Doug Rogers (now owner of EastWest in LA), is just up on @AudioCultureNZ. I’m quietly mucho happy and proud of this series

@Katz2029 @BobPickard @JChengWSJ Very well said.

@sneeky64083 @KhaosodEnglish Which is why it smells and feels like burnt cane, right? Idiot.

@bayagima Worked now. Yeah many times. It's in the fleamarkets. Not that great but a nice fella.
