#maxmsp is like a 2D version of writing shell scripts and one-liners, so if you enjoy one you’ll probably enjoy the other youtu.be/l3qoEH4Jbrw?...

Python code and demo #maxmsp patch are here. You don’t even need an OAuth token from Twitch. None of this needs any of your login info to listen to chats, it just works github.com/johnmatter/t...

“‘All reification is a forgetting.’ Art fights reification by making the petrified world speak, sing, perhaps dance.” Herbert Marcuse, “The Aesthetic Dimension.”

Roberts calls on judges to “[do] equal right to the poor and to the rich, and [perform] all of our duties faithfully and impartially under the Constitution and laws of the United States.” Reminded again of that bit from Anatole France about sleeping under bridges. www.gutenberg.org/files/3922/3...

in a functional society you would call the cops if a group of masked men with guns showed up at a daycare demanding to see the children, and the primary reason this did not happen appears to be that everyone assumed they were ICE

been trying to make the most of my current job that requires moving a lot of boxes and crates around, the art of printing registration symbols

Chris Rufo will post something like “my plan is to lie to the media about what trees do” and the NYT will print “trees are traditionally seen as helpful, even worth preserving, but some are asking if the time of trees has come to it’s end, and their ideas about autism are intriguing”

“The rate of deaths per year in the correctional facilities has been on the rise even though the number of people being held in the prisons has declined, the records show. Last year the death count hit 144 — the highest number in the past seven years.”

You can read Twitch chats anonymously over IRC, so I wrote a Twitch-to-OSC bridge. Then #maxmsp can listen for the OSC. I think it would be fun to do something like”Twitch plays monome teletype” or let people set synth/sequencer parameters using the usual `!command` syntax Patch is in the alt text
