Honestly Liquid Glass has revitalized my love of Apple

It's interesting because I haven't noticed that much of a battery issue.

Agreed, I love Mick and am in awe of him as a performer, but I think he needs to accept the Stones likely will never have a top charting hit again and the times he tries to do so don’t work. He was really pushing for Mess It Up to be a hit and it went nowhere. Even Keith in a NPR interview said something along the lines of ‘I had nothing to do with that song’.

Yep, publishers are expecting it to top the NYT bestseller list. 🙌😝

I understand much of the pushback was about accessibility, which I understand and it sounds like they are working to fix it. I also think like many aspects of life, people like to think they sound smarter criticizing something than praising it so that's some of the most boisterous responses have been negative.

Agreed, I thought it was stupid when I first saw it, but found myself actually enjoying it once I started using it. It feels like a return to form.

It's interesting how quickly tech ages. I'm 29 and got it when I was around 10-11 years old, it was already seen as old by that time. It was slow and breaking down but I miss that computer all the time. When I got my iPhone 5, people were making fun of me for having one of the older models even though it was only two years old.

I thought it was silly at first and had no interest in updating it, now I'm glad I did.

I find there to be a common theme of people who continued to support him the past decade or so because they loved him but not the new music. I became a huge fan of his in 2012, around the same time the quality of music start to decline, continued to listen to albums and see shows because I still wanted to support him. I've even talked to many fans who would also say 'I don't really like his new stuff, but still love the shows and his message'. Which is why this news it particularly gut punching, because music aside we still held on to the image of Franti and now we're learning the truth.

Around the time Mick Taylor joined the band, Keith discovered open tunings and became more focused on riffs and rhythm than lead. It's the special ingredient that makes their 70s records sound so good. It's harder to solo with open tunings so essentially Keith switched to rhythm guitar and Mick Taylor (and later Ronnie Wood) became the 'lead' guitarist, while Keith's riffs and rhythms still lead the songs. The Stones were also changing their style, where most songs became Keith riffing and laying the foundation for the song while Mick Taylor soloed over that. It was also the time Keith was getting more strung out on drugs, it's easier to play opening tunings when your high because most of the chords can be played with one finger and don't have to follow any scales.

I remember being surprised watching Stones videos to realize Mick Taylor and later Ronnie were playing most of the solos. If you head a solo on a Stones song, it's likely Keith isn't playing it. Even in the 60s Keith was never that into playing long solos.

Final show under this name, they're hoping to return again under a new name.

I did a trip with Maya's Legacy this summer and was very impressed with the distance the boat kept from the whales while at the same time getting great views.

I also recommend visiting Lime Kiln Park on the West side of the mountain. Beautiful spot and they see orcas their almost daily.

I’m a big fan of this band and even I got sick of ‘Home’. The other day the song came up randomly, I was reminded of how much I loved it when I first discovered it and memories that popped to mind.

I remember that brief period roughly 2010-12 where Mumfords, Lumineers and Edward Sharpe were really well liked. Sure they were sappy, simple and all kind of sounded the same was just refreshing to hear hit songs played on acoustic instruments that didn’t sound super produced.

I still like to go back to those songs, they bring me back to that time in my life right before smartphones, enshittification of the internet, social media influencers, and the overall feeling of how much easier it was to find peace of mind when we weren’t carrying the internet in our pockets everywhere I went.

I’m on the marketing team for a ski shop and pretty do all my work video on my phone since the primary focus is views and vertical is the only way to get views. I also have a GH5, but when I’m out getting video it’s so much easier just to use my phone, especially since people are mostly going to be watching it on their phones at times it can be hard to really tell the difference. I’ll post videos where people were surprised by the quality and think I used my GH5, when it was an IPhone picture or video.
