Lyft driver picked me up from UNC, turned out he was a medicinal chemistry post-doc in a building near mine, until his grant got cut last month. Worked on novel antivirals.

Composing is just asking “is this anything” whenever you write a new note

ok but i need the male character origin stories (marcus fenix, james bond) to be the same as the tomb raider reboot where lara croft was crying the whole time about being bad at stuff. i need marcus and 007 to be fully drool-sobbing that they're bad at shooting a gun or whatever. this is equality.

Guy Klucevsek was a huge inspiration to me as a baby accordionist. He came to the University of Michigan to do a masterclass when I was there, maybe 2005? Someone suggested that we play a duet, and I was FULLY intimidated — I had only been playing the instrument for a couple years at that point.

The music world has lost a giant. I can't overstate how important Guy Klucevsek was to me on a musical and human level. I'm going to post a thread of a few favorites here, which seems like a pretty paltry gesture, but people of bluesky need to know this man's greatness.

RIP Guy Klucevsek. New on TT, the definitive interview from Anthony Creamer, originally published on DTM in 2019. iverson.substack.com/p/tt-519-int...

If you make me president of your university, I will find millions in cost savings by force-quitting shady EdTech contracts, & I will spend it all by giving faculty an annual budget to buy course books for their students.

What in the heck is going on over at google

Happy pride folks I'm still fleshing out the entries, but here's a list of over 200 retro games (pre-2010) which were made by trans people or which had trans people on the dev team. We have always been here. dotmaetrix.neocities.org/classictrans...

running with the devil, I know, I know it's serious

There's so much open and unabashed cruelty in the world right now. It's hard to take

It’s finally happening

slightly serious shitpost: autistic people with special interests are the last line of defense against genAI Bullshit World because they deeply care about the fussy little details that genAI can't handle and normies don't notice

I talked to 15 teachers/professors about how AI and ChatGPT is ruining their lives: www.404media.co/teachers-are...

What music is most like waiting for the dvd logo to hit the corner of the screen

is it subtext or headcanon

It's time for me to embarrass myself by putting this out there: if your college or university in the greater Los Angeles area needs an instructor for anything to do with music history or medieval studies, I'm available to teach this fall.
