To anyone seeing a Verge article from today reporting a T-Mobile app 'glitch' that affected fewer than 100 customers, that is a separate incident.

Think about 90 GB of data for a moment. That's about two 4K feature-length movies.

Now imagine 90 GB of plain text files, and how enormous a database of customers' personal information that would be. Customers affected might be in the tens or hundreds of thousands.

Oh and now a T-Mobile commercial just came on. HELL no.

^ It seems that nothing short of customers leaving en masse will motivate them to get their shit together.

This is complete insanity. Read the whole story.

BIRMINGHAM, Ala. (AP) — An Alabama high school band director said Wednesday that he was just “doing my job” when police officers arrested him and shocked him with a stun gun after he refused to immediately stop the band as it played in the bleachers following a football game.

Oh PWEEEZE can I haz a #Bluesky invite??? That site is SO ÜBER COOL that its co-founder totally bailed after only SIX MONTHS of its existence!

^ This was the piece, if you're curious. It's always been one of my favorite Christmas choral pieces.

I got put on the spot at choir rehearsal tonight. Our actual conductor was occupied at the moment, and I was asked by our accompanist to conduct a piece I had only ever sung before, with no prep. It was literally, hey can you come up and conduct this? Oh, and can you sing the opening solo for us now that you're up there?

I didn't make a complete ass of myself, and the choir was super attentive and kind, so I'll take that as a win.

I found this years ago and just rediscovered it. SO awesome.

A pipe organ tribute to Michael Jackson performed at Trinity Church Wall Street, NYC. You'll hear a few different themes, but I especially like the fugue on 'ABC'.

Also gets #cosoclassical and #musictheory tags because of the compositional techniques used.

I couldn't help myself. These memes make themselves.
