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

*explaining it to an offline person* so you know how in Star Trek Picard there is a scene where everyone goes mad after receiving a dose of forbidden knowledge from the ninth dimension? it's real, somehow

It's official now my best performing post so far is a Will Stancil joke. Idk what to do with this information

3rd axis on the political alignment chart for how freaky you are about Stancil. Reveals more than one would think

you spend decades flailing about and grumbling about stuff and the idiocy of your brethren and then Søren just blows you up

If you're not down for the stupid jokes and music/art posting, you don't deserve me at my occasionally lucid observations on politics (I'm messing around Snowden's great)

Mr Beast finally catching the Robinson Crusoe looking anxiety riddled starving wretch of a man he's been hunting for sport for weeks on his foodless private island

The Crucifixion by Vicente Silva Manansala, 1973.

Y'know I very much reject psychoanalytic frameworks in general but I think I really underestimated the amount of people (and voters!) who fit the most brutish Freudian description

Blasting the disco Elysium OST on repeat the last 3-4 days is surely a sign of feeling perfectly well adjusted about history

I think a sustainable posting life has a lot to do with noticing and staying clear when a post is a black hole and brings strife. Inner Poster Peace (which Snowden mostly shows imo) demands letting some replies and quote posts pass by like rain off your back. Avoid poster Samsara when it invites you

i feel bad for your country but this is tremendous content (all regional carriers within the USA nuked)

Bruh if they Yoon at the midterms already

but the current wave is uh, in a certain way “worse” than the snake oil salesmen of myth, because at least the salesman gets run out of town, we just seem to have passively accepted the perpetual conversion of everything into a scam as a fact of life

EGG HEAD - “Skibadee, skibadanger! I am the rearranger!”

Views of the dollar as the world's most prestigious fiat currency depend on views of the United States. Views of the dollar depend on the belief in the stability and predictability of its political system, its economic policy, its foreign policy, its role in the world. 10/
