Fighting for my life about triangles in a TikTok comment section. Can the math or trigonometry folks here help me out? I'm not crazy for saying a right triangle is possible with 90°, 80°, & 10° angles...am I? I'm being told it's impossible bc Pythagorean doesn't work but it definitely does lol

I turned 10,000 days old today. I played drums, I went to see a movie, and I spent time with my fianceé. Feeling grateful & more able than ever to cherish each day that comes next. See you on 10,001.

My thought for this Tuesday ☕️☕️☕️

Denver gave people experiencing homelessness $1k/month. A year later, nearly half had housing. They also had fewer ER visits, nights spent in a hospital, and jail stays. The report estimates that this reduction in public service use SAVED the city $589k. www.businessinsider.com/denver-basic...

I just love that my feed here is 99.9% cats and video games because 99.9% of what I want to experience in life is cats and video games.

Introduce yourself with four video games (I've learned in doing this that I guess I'm a big fan of sequels 👾👾) #HorizonForbiddenWest #PokemonSoulSilver #Portal2 #TheLastOfUsPartII

I am not normal about the fantastic four I have been on the edge of my seat for YEARS now waiting for it

Sobbing that I'll miss PASIC this year

I finally watched this video a lot of Music Twitter™️ was talking about around a month ago and while I agree with a lot of the issues mentioned, most were from the perspective of fixed pitch instrumentalists like 🎸 or 🎹. Here's my POV from 🪘🥁🪇: youtu.be/Eq3bUFgEcb4?...

Me in grad school: "An interesting note regarding the evolution of drum notation is that Stravinsky’s original engravings do not align with today’s percussionists’ intuitive sense of order" Me as a teacher: "you ever think how they're called 16th notes 'cause there's 16 of them"

I threw her a surprise Sonic birthday party :)

After finally seeing a seemingly accurate Fantastic 4 line up I think I'm gonna be sick lol

I would love to know if anyone here also enjoyed The Marvels and thinks this MCU "discourse" is way overblown and annoying

Bluesky hiatus officially over! My Twitter relapse has been all-consuming of my social media time lately. I vow to skeet more regularly

I’ve been playing the piano for over 2 decades and I still always seem to forget that before the “letting it rip” stage of playing any piece there’s the tedious fingering stage and then several days or weeks of sounding like total ass

Most people who use Instagram have never even had a Twitter account, so they feel obliged to add a photo/video/gif with their Threads post. But that turns it into an Instagram competitor, not a Twitter competitor. This app is text-based first, which is what we loved about Twitter to begin with.

Life finds a day! Happy #JulysixthPark everyone! Remember to rewatch your favorite Jurassic Park movie and eat some dino-shaped chicken nuggets today 🥳🦕

Hey it's me, Sonic the Hedgehog! Threads kind of sucks! I wanted to like it but it's no good!

I like it here and I don’t think a mega corp Twitter clone can kill spaces like these. There is a high level of original thought and engagement, people care about each other and maintain a strong space minimizing bad faith, harassment, and disinfo, which lets people be themselves & build community

Threads feels like the mall.

Bluesky is a public benefit corp with the mission “to develop and drive large-scale adoption of technologies for open and decentralized public conversation.” The PBC status allows us to pursue our mission above profit, but we still need to make this open ecosystem sustainable.

Nobody told that white boy to play that funky music. I don’t believe it. He’s a fucking liar.

me my dog 🤝 uncomfortable celebrating the fourth of july

Here's a project I'm very proud of, on all fronts! An experience in recording, video editing, and playing some advanced chamber percussion music. Enjoy! OUPQ | The Whole Toy Laid Down https://youtu.be/pX9aqZ_Y7Rw

It's that time of year again. Pull out the lemon juice and q-tips, we've got some decoding to do

happy fourth of july! as the founding fathers once said, many years ago on this very day: hey who wrote some dumb bullshit on the back of our cool treasure map
