I offer my services on set theory, Morton Gould, wind band music, or general composition/orchestration.

Once again, I just referred to “L’histoire du soldat” as “The Devil Went Down To The Other Georgia.”

I’m in the process of my own actual marriage dissolution and holy hell, these people need therapy.

Pour one out for a Real One.

You need this. We all need this.

Apart from Yet Another Cletus Safari (we get it, NYT, old white rural people are overwhelmingly fascist-adjacent; speaking as someone from a rural area, ‘twas ever thus), is anyone going to talk about the “drinking at 10am and it’s not even an airport where time has no meaning” thing?

Jonathan Ross’ next move? Creating the Jump To Conclusions mat.

Please spread the word; OP is right. Even though it's designed to skirt IRB approval, I hope if it even opens for long enough to enroll victi...participants, anyone whose name is on it faces research misconduct charges. Or worse. This will kill people. And they know it. And they don't care.

I can't believe that this has been an option the entire time *sets up school for raccoons against racism*

They have fucking assault rifles and we have whistles and they’re scared shitless, because they know we’d rather be righteous and dead than ever be them.

Solidarity forever…

Band together to protest masks or a book about Rosa Parks or that one trans JV volleyball player three states over? Just fine, go ahead. Band together to protect actual kids? YOU COMMIE LOSERS

ive seen more articles this week about how the phrase “abolish ice” could hurt dems in the midterms than ive seen articles about how paramilitary death squads terrorizing cities will hurt republicans in the midterms

They've been yearning to see people shot in the street their whole lives. If you'd ask them directly they'd have told you. They told each other. They talked about it and agreed about it together.

A student was having trouble with a new piece. I suggested they write a bunch of little motives and then do one or more of the following things: Atomize, randomize, serialize. If I ever write that comp textbook, that’s going in.

Thread. “Wellness” is a grift.

Remembering Scott Adams.

The usual problem with the "just asking questions" crowd is that they have no interest in listening to any answers except the ones they are already sure of.

I think we need to understand the extent to which this use of "liberal white women" is a way of saying "race traitor." They aren't attacking these women for being white but for having a lack of loyalty to whiteness.

I have actually stayed in this hotel. The night I was there, there was a hostage situation.

The King should dissolve Parliament and ask Larry to form the government.

“Welcome to the CBS Evening News, I’m Tony Doukopil, can I get you started with some pizza shooters, shrimp poppers or extreme fajitas?”

Classic:

I never understood the phrase “too smart for your own good” until I met libertarians.

The struggles don’t end.

THIS IS WHAT HAPPENS WHEN YOU DON’T GET YOUR VACCINES, AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAARON

YOU: now let me get this straight. He takes the money for the band instruments. ME: and the costumes, yeah. YOU: and he leaves? ME: No, he orders the instruments. YOU: So he takes the costume money. ME: No they get the costumes. YOU: what is the scam exactly ME: he doesn't inspire them

Harold Hill crosses the midwest building the infrastructure for boys' bands, creating a demand for a generation of young band directors to fill the niche

Grad school.

expectation: you will walk down the street hailed by beautiful white women thanking you for Saving The Homeland reality: a woman who looks exactly like your mom calls you a whiny bitch and the cute cashier gives you the finger and tells you to go fuck yourself and everyone laughs when you fall down

FLAWLESS VICTORY

sub-zero vs ice

East Fork of the White River.

new york city is Real America. los angeles is Real America. chicago is Real America. minneapolis is Real America. seattle, portland, detroit etc etc. sick of this framing that it's otherwise. shut the fuck up

POW Skinner remains the best Skinner. Keep your steamed hams.

Another thoughtful column by @deandad.bsky.social . When he observes "...that many policymakers see community colleges as workforce training centers and nothing else," we should note that many officials see all of higher ed this way. www.insidehighered.com/opinion/colu...

This is why they hate teachers too. They never forgave the first person who told them "no," and made them follow the same rules as everyone else.

this is all it’s really about for them. Not domestic policy, not “economic anxiety”, just an endless desire to punish stand-ins for the Mommy who forced them take a bath, even if it tanks their own quality of life.

A term like "immigration crackdown" is no longer sufficient to describe what's happening in Minneapolis. We're seeing a state terror campaign being waged by the regime's paramilitary forces.

Everyone, There are PLENTY of documented, legit, real horrifying things happening in the Twin Cities right now. We don’t need anonymous, unverified, engagement bait rumors, whether of the “I heard that” or just bullshit variety. Reality is hard. Don’t make it harder. Thanks.

Same energy.

My bologna has a first name It’s F-U-C-K-ICE

To think David Marcus, of all people, would belittle women when it was his own mother who created the Genesis device. Clearly he does it because of an absent father, who is no Boy Scout.

BUT YOU DON’T KNOW ALL THE THEORY BRO CAN YOU EVEN SPELL GRAMSCI

My realtor is running a food/funds drive because the United States government is kidnapping my neighbors and shooting women in the face. How’s your Sunday?

Dear neighbor, HIGH ALERT‼️ If you are vulnerable to deportation please stay home today. I’m sorry to say this but it’s not safe to be outside. ICE is tearing families apart. Children of immigrants please keep your family safe. Jason Chavez 1/

Yes, well.
