Brian May, Queen guitarist, says he had minor stroke that left him unable to
play - CNN. Good to hear it was minor. But it's heartbreaking when someone is no
longer able to do something they've devoted so much time to mastering. On the
other hand, Sir Brian is a modern-day renaissance man who's accomplished much in
other areas, even holding a doctorate in astrophysics, so he's got other things
to fall back on.

I'm not a fan of Trap music, but this is one helluva music video.
I could care less about the terrible music but this video was a surrealist tour de force. I'd like to know who put it together and see a making of - complete with conceptual phase - video. No idea what "Trap" music is.
"Van Gogh painted alone and in despair and in madness and sold one picture in his entire life. Millions struggled alone, unrecognized, and struggled as heroically as any famous hero. Was it worthless? I knew it wasn't."

It's a fascinating concept (that might explain why I unironically like some movies that are universally hated) but the article stated that studies showed a difference in how a movie is perceived but didn't give any detail on what those differences are.
"The assumption that animals are without rights, and the illusion that our treatment of them has no moral significance, is a positively outrageous example of Western crudity and barbarity. Universal compassion is the only guarantee of morality."

If Tony Iommi can lose the tips of two fingers and still become one of the progenitors of multiple genres of music, then Brian May can, and did, recover from a stroke and relearn how to play.
I hope so. It wasn't the case for me. I long since gave all of my musical equipment away. It was too depressing to keep it around.

Hopefully Brian will end up recovering his playing ability. Dave Davies of The Kinks went through this in 2004 and managed to recover within two years.
According to the article, he already has.
Season 4 of Slow Horses has commenced. squeee
And if you weren’t fond of the first season of LotR: The Rings of Power, you might give the second season a try. I’m enjoying it.
