Such sad news, indeed. At this stage, one could be forgiven for thinking he could live forever among us.

While at lunch today, my mother (of all people) tried to convince me that use of the Oxford comma was improper punctuation. I told her I had learned from Jensen's Grammar and Punctuation that sequences of three or more are appropriately separated by commas for clarity.

Two legends of the game! Vasyl Ivanchuk was inducted into the World Chess Hall of Fame, with former World Champion Garry Kasparov attending the ceremony to personally congratulate him on this well-deserved honor! Congratulations, Vasyl!🎊🎊 #GarryKasparov #vasylivanchuk #chess

My Dearest Peter, There are no words to describe the great emptiness and sadness that overwhelms me with your passing. We saw each other just a few days ago in Vienna, with the promise to meet again soon at some concert here and there. In Budapest you were with me one month ago, as always, precise and attentive to everything I could possibly need, to support me once more. Sixty years of friendship between us. Sixty years of great, silent support, and your always meticulous work with extreme precision in managing every detail. Sixty years of music too, because you loved opera so much, and it was precisely through this passion that we met sixty years ago in Vienna, in 1967. How many moments we shared: so many beautiful moments, but with generosity you were with me even through life's most difficult trials, always with your caring loyalty. You were a support to my family as well, and for almost three years you looked after Placi like a son when he was studying in Vienna. You gave me serenity, strength, and support in thousands of performances around the world. My dear friend Peter, may God welcome you with open arms into His Kingdom and grant you that peaceful rest you so richly deserve. Holding your entire family close. With affection, always Yours, Plácido. ——————————————— Mein lieber Peter, Es gibt keine Worte, um die große Leere und Traurigkeit zu beschreiben, die mich angesichts deines Todes überkommen. Wir haben uns erst vor wenigen Tagen in Wien gesehen – mit dem Versprechen, uns bald wieder bei dem einen oder anderen Konzert zu treffen. Vor einem Monat warst du bei mir in Budapest – wie immer aufmerksam und bedacht darauf, mir bei allem zu helfen, was ich brauchte, um mich erneut zu unterstützen. Sechzig Jahre Freundschaft verbinden uns. Sechzig Jahre großartige, stille Unterstützung und deine stets akribische Arbeit, bei der du mit äußerster Präzision auf jedes Detail geachtet hast. Sechzig Jahre auch im Zeichen der Musik, denn du hast die Oper so sehr geliebt – und genau durch diese Leidenschaft haben wir uns vor sechzig Jahren, 1967, in Wien kennengelernt. Wie viele Momente haben wir geteilt: so viele schöne Augenblicke, doch du standest mir – so großherzig, wie du warst – auch in den schwierigsten Lebensphasen zur Seite, stets mit deiner fürsorglichen Treue. Du warst auch für meine Familie eine Stütze; so hast du dich fast drei Jahre lang um Placi gekümmert – wie um einen eigenen Sohn –, als er in Wien studierte. Du hast mir bei Tausenden von Auftritten auf der ganzen Welt Gelassenheit, Kraft und Rückhalt geschenkt. Mein lieber Freund Peter, möge Gott dich mit offenen Armen in seinem Reich empfangen und dir jene friedvolle Ruhe schenken, die du so sehr verdient hast. Ich bin in Gedanken ganz nah bei deiner gesamten Familie. In herzlicher Verbundenheit, Dein Plácido.

Those are quite the headline and subhead.

As individuals living in a society, we do not *exceedingly loathe* AI-written and narrated videos enough. YouTube (and to a lesser extent other social media) is a veritable cesspool of these minimal effort creations today. YouTube has also trashed its consumer experience.

I hope you will join me in this initiative by either helping to fund my run, or by creating your own! My goal is to raise $3,000 by Thursday! I would love your help! You can sponsor me via the link below. I will be thanking each and everyone who donates in my post-run post!

Training hard! I’ve chosen this Thursday to run for Music Moves Us! Keeping music in schools in Nova Scotia. Debut Atlantic has organised the Valley Harvest as part of the initiative “Music Moves Us,” to raise funds for this important cause.

Composer Frédéric Chopin died on this very day in 1849 As requested by Chopin, his sister Ludwika took his heart (which had been removed by his doctor and preserved in alcohol in a vase), back to Poland in 1850

There might be something in the way a senior White House official phrased her departure as press secretary.

It’s great to be back in Vienna! Now loading one of my favorite roles . . . Marie in Donizetti’s La Fille du Régiment!! @WrStaatsoper 🎶♥️ Nov 1, 4, 7, 10, 13

BofA likely lobbied to get that penalty so low. It's like when DC or courts penalize the Big Tech companies; the fines mean almost nothing, and the practices often continue under new guises.
