Effective immediately, I am taking the pledge. It's the only thing I can do that will make a difference.

When I was a kid, someone in my family gave me a book called "The Universe", published by LIFE (magazine). It was full of beautiful artists' renditions of space. Now with the Hubble, we can actually see these and they're just as beautiful and strange as the book predicted.

Another work in progress! Do you ever wonder if your best music is sitting in that big, dusty folder of half-finished songs? #songwriting #workinprogress #unfinishedsongs #blueskyartists

Been watching some Robert Redford movies I have never seen. The other night we watched Havana and I didn't realize how similar it is to Casablanca. Tonight we're watching The Way We Were.

What would we do without folks like Mr. Krebs? " a self-replicating worm that steals credentials from developers and publishes those secrets on GitHub, experts warn."

Billy Corgan: "It's already over." He's been in the business for four decades and he's seen a lot of it. Asked about whether he was concerned about AI in music, I think his view is likely accurate. Sorry if you're just starting out. It's been a great run, but we're nearing the end.

I myself got COVID by being in a small conference room with 4 unmasked people and no open window. My own stupidity, because usually I would have worn one! My wife wore hers, but I got it and passed it to her. Fortunately, our family doc prescribed Paxlovid and it's was over in 2 days. Hers too.

I'm calling for it, too, but no one is answerring the phone. Ditch this dangerous egomaniac.

Morning. At 104, "she participated in many of the No Kings events in Mt. Kisco, NY. She was a mathematical physicist, grew up with Einstein as a family friend and is the reason why NY water is clean and frakking is banned." #STEM #science #activism #climatechange h/t @jodmentum.apobangpo.space

This is some real shit! 100% musicality!

Very nice joint, this!

Will HBO be forced to remove Bill Maher? It's a good bet he'll talk about the story on his next episode.

Beautiful #streetArt

Is it any wonder the population is shrinking?

You know what's doing damage to those hard working, law abiding people? Congress who refuse to act in their defined role in the legislative branch, deferring to the executive branch to make the laws, and the judicial to rubber stamp them.

Good morrow, morning crew. The feed will abide if there's still interest, so post your tracks and if you're a listener, please like and pin the feed to enjoy the diversity of creative efforts here on Blue(pie in the)Sky.

"Instantiation", one of the tracks I took off the streamers because it has no chance to get 1,000 on Spotify, so $0. On the other hand, here it is, free to be heard. #OriginalMusic #jazz

We just received a letter inviting us to go get COVID and flu -vaccine injections next month. Making those appointements, soon. It's nice to live in a health-conscious nation.

This is COVID singing about the success of the infection rate in 2020. That's when I wrote it. #OriginalMusic

I'm not a fan of Kurt, but this Ernie Watts saxophone solo is smokin' out of this world. #Jazz

Changes... but you can still like and follow the feed to get just the right dose of original music from Bluesky musical creatives. Pin the feed to your Bluesky home page and it will be in the main menu. Like and pin are in the three-dot menu at the top of the screen on web and Android. (iOS?)

Musicians ask how to get into the feed. We were forced to change to a list in order to not watch the firehose (whole network). To post to the #OriginalMusic feed, just ask. As long as you keep the hastags to three or less total and post with the hashtag once per day, your posts should appear.

#SkyOriginalMusicTracks moves to a list-based feed. That means if you'd like your posts to be in the feed, you have to tell me. I have several regular contributors in mind for the list altready. Let me know in DM or here in comments if you want to be on the list.

If you're in Krakow for RTC.ON, don't miss the presentation my colleague Antonio will make there! He's been working on a new cool project called #Juturna for real-time AI pipelines, which we've been using with #Janus ourselves. The event is usually streamed, so I'll share a link when I have one 🙏

I wash my hair on odd days of the month. Certain months, it gets washed two days in a row. I just realized this morning, if I do it on even days, that will never happen! AI didn't tell me that, when I tested it earlier this year. I tried several, and only one found how many times two days in a row.

In outer space, not only can no one hear you scream, but "strange, novel events could occur any time". NY Time gift link about the Laser Interferometry Gravitational-wave Observatory. A sense of wonder.

@blueskyfeedcreator.com I hope it works out for you. Hobbyists like me can't afford a monthly expense with no financial return, just as you can't. There's a lot to improve in the front end of your BFC. Making that better may attract more paid users.

250 million 110 million 1.5 million 700 thousand The estimated daily user numbers of text-based social networks. Can you guess which are those four?

(Sky) Original Music Tracks is going away. Due to whatever reason the developer has for changing the way it grabs posts, it's no longer worth my time. You can still simply look for the hashtag #SkyOriginalMusicTracks but I won't be using it myself and the feed is about to pull the plug.

Sometimes, some things advance. "We should take a moment to recognise the excellent progress being made in reclaiming our protected areas from the grasp of destructive fishing. "

The feed has not picked this one up yet.

Remarkable (and remarkably LONG) article about AI Song-Chun Zhu. Aside from the timeline of an amazing career, there's a lot of interesting analysis of the main philosophies of AI developments in the USA and in China.

Interesting.

Go Onion!

My new track. Instrumental rock. Something I call Electric Delta Voodoo Swamp. A sound that I've been doing for years and having success with TV useage. I decided to release a few commercially. This is the first one joeystebanuk1.bandcamp.com/track/rattle... #MusicSky #SkyOriginalMusicTracks

Free access on Medium Though they never met in person, they corresponded by the Internet of their time, snail mail! #Women #France #History #NineteenthCentury

"Enough 2020" is probably my most heard song, after "Come Together". It was recorded in the first couple of years of playing alto saxophone. Apparently, technique is overrated, as far as public perception is concerned. #SkyOriginalMusicTracks #JazzMusic #MusicSky

The people have spoken.

Ambient rock instrumental. Dreamy, sensual, relaxing. Tasty melodic electric guitar. joeystebanuk1.bandcamp.com/track/sensua... #SkyOriginalMusicTracks #MusicSky

Start the day with (renewable) energy! At the top of my list for inspiring musical art.

I will be meeting with some folks here to converse in English, which is my native tongue, but not theirs. It started as an effort to give back to the community, but we've become close friends in the process. Socializing with people of different ages and backgrounds is fantastic!

Happy #FeatureFriday, folks! This is the day of the week where we go digging for an album by a Blue Sky artist and present it to you. Today we have the lovely @portobelloexpress.bsky.social with their album "B.P.M.". Good times guaranteed! portobelloexpress.bandcamp.com/album/b-p-m-...
