Making americanos with the moka pot is just The Move™️

similarly, idk current consensus on Gorillaz Humanz, but i think people were probably a little too harsh back when. By pop standards it's kind of a bummer and a little all over the place, but in retrospect it's one of the more compelling snapshots of 2016 era poorly articulated dread for the future

Death of A Bachelor is a mixed bag, and is to me the start of Panics decline. I find it more poignant putting intended meanings aside, with Impossible Year and Emperors New Clothes as keystones, making it a start of 2016 reflection on decadent nostalgia ending a dynasty, ushering an age of turmoil

Is there a state closer to pop culture conceptions of utter relief than receiving a long awaited Important Email

Is there a state closer to pop culture conceptions of purgatory than waiting for an Important Email

This is what people mean when they say *i'm baby*

The Liza Minelli film version of Cabaret has this specific feeling of impending doom i haven't quite encountered anywhere else, and it keeps cropping up in my thoughts

how your email finds me youtu.be/cQOQc09fiFA?...

Feeling dumb and like you know nothing is a good sign because it means you're learning, but it doesn't stop being annoying

Got around to listening to these lectures through the week. Still gathering my thoughts, but i've found them quite helpful for a rough overarching grasp of some of the ideas and tensions prevalent in the era

it's one of those days youtu.be/WUum0qwDk5E?...

The day will be survived through spiritual jazz posting youtu.be/FkDvkR5l1eg?...

no man programming the dx7 is simple you just download dexed to use it as a way to send sysex messages to the real deal, that way you have easy overview of all six operators and graphical representation of the different algori...[comically large vaudeville hook pulls me off stage]

log in, see what you missed when sleeping

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHH

Just came under a MASSIVE PSYCHIC ASSAULT at the grocery store

Come at me bro. I’m in Carcosa.

Posting is kinda cool you can work your half-baked ideas into more baked ones and make it everyone elses problem

we are once again in the *figure out you're still a dummy* part of the cycle

Song titles, especially for instrumental music, is such an evocative and underappreciated art

"Out of Egypt, into the Great Laugh of Mankind, and I Shake the Dirt from My Sandals as I Run" (Sufjan Stevens)

i love europe you can just go outside and there are old buildings from over 800 years ago just lying around. You walk past them doing basic errands

the eternal struggle splitting your time between getting good at what you need to be doing, while also pouring time into other stuff so you're not a dummy in separate but related fields. Annoyed that i can't be an expert in like 8 different subjects at my current age

Man says fuck it: eats lunch at 10:59am

Sharing your creative work with people gets easier with practice but it never stops being hard huh

I guess Truss is just now catching up to 2008 hit videogame De Blob

A lot of people misunderstand mgs2. People think it's about an infinitely growing internet filled with infohazards presenting fundamental challenges to collective politics in an increasingly perilous and nuclearized age, when it's actually about the virtues of laughing and growing fat

Man Colín Stetson is good play that sax big boy

The latest episode of The Relay Station showcases Ed Herbers' latest EP - Season Cycle: Winter, the first of four seasonal releases planned for 2026. Check out the episode below! stolace.com/relay-statio...

I was just reminded that today is Shelley’s birthday.

Out in nature at dusk with a huge glowing full moon and Colin Stetson New History Warfare Vol 3 playing. This is probably the closest i will allow myself to get to experiencing genuine frenzy

saw a vid reviewing a square aspect ratio monitor and now i kinda want one

Grow up thinking you know how the world works -> figure out you're a dummy and some people are way ahead of you -> do the work and try to become a non-dummy -> feel you've made decent progress -> see dummies everywhere -> figure out you're still one of them. And then repeat the last 4 in perpetuity

Surely clever non alarmist things are writable on attention technologies in earlier mass media leveraging narrative, to the current paradigm of variable ratio reinforcement systems. Obviously those existed but they hadn't swallowed the world yet. People smarter than me must have already done it

My new EP/mini album thing is finally out. If you like your ambient a little bit dark and a big bit paranoid, maybe you'll enjoy it! #ambient #drone #paranoid

carcosa. its an old word but it basically means mine or Jeff’s Place

On the one hand I'm grateful I've gotten to read and learn so much in my own time and the loss of enthusiasm from forced assignments has been limited. On the other I'm frustrated just how much I've had to fumble in the dark when a few pointers from the right people would have helped so so much

I am not gleefully predicting this, just speaking from some experience, and trying to steel folks for the right timespan on fighting this: within 2-4 years, there will be Very Serious People demanding you give up asking for accountability on this stuff, and in fact *you* are the problem for doing so

SHIVERS - MAKE IT RIGHT. MORE THAN YOU KNOW DEPENDS ON IT.

Sometimes when i try to get to grips with a thinker or perspective i wind up half-consciously adopting their perspective for a time. Sort of like an actor taking on a persons body language to learn something. It's not really what i *actually* think, but it must come across as somewhat erratic.

MAY YOU LIVE IN LESS INTERESTING TIMES MAY YOU LIVE IN LESS INTERESTING TIMES MAY YOU LIVE IN LESS INTERESTING TIMES COME ON EVERYONE ALL TOGETHER NOW MAY YOU LIVE IN LESS INTERESTING TIMES MAY YOU LIVE IN LESS INTERESTING TIMES MAY YOU LIVE IN LESS INTERESTING TIMES

repeating *you're gonna carry that weight* as a mantra to remind myself i can't explain what we all learned last night and why it matters to people irl without being institutionalised

Hegel saw the world soul, Animus Mundi, briefly seeing Napoleon in the village of Jena. We saw it playing Halo and yuriposting on 4chan with Jeffrey Epstein
