Forty years ago today, Prince & the Revolution released "Purple Rain", his most popular work, and one of the artistic and commercial peaks of the 1980s. The title ballad was an unusual and unlikely track to have become Prince's signature song, and this is the story of how it came to be. https://www.anildash.com/2014/07/25/i_know_times_are_changing/

This is the most exciting news I’ve heard from Mozilla in ages. Excited for what it portends for a new era and for Mozilla to regain its fight and fire in the vital work behind its mission. https://foundation.mozilla.org/en/blog/mozilla-foundation-welcomes-nabiha-syed-as-executive-director/

Today is the anniversary of the MOVE bombing. The only thing that’s changed is police are far more militarized, far more funded, and far less accountable, while their supporters fly a desecrated flag to explicitly endorse their violent attacks.

Just trying to imagine if people a few hundred years ago had been here to witness, in the span of a few weeks, an eclipse, an earthquake, a supernova as bright as the North Star, and an unexpected appearance of the northern lights.

Okay, I followed up here — the week after you'd shared this, the flow was updated to get rid of the nuisance part of that unsubscribe flow, and now is just a simple unsubscribe link. I can also give you context on the campaign where you signed up for the list in the first place, if that's still of interest. Thanks for flagging this so we could make sure it was fixed, and apologies again for the frustration.

this sucks, and I’m sorry. Going to figure out what happened here so it won’t happen again.
