We look at metric governance, a structural phenomenon where administrative systems produce systematic harm through quantitative targets and selective measurement rather than explicit intent.

Éliane Radigue is not a composer who failed to succeed in the music industry and survived anyway. She never accepted the premise of the experiment in the first place, attempted to build a career, scale an audience, or translate practice into product on an industrial timeline. She simply worked.
Éliane Radigue: A Control Case
Not an edge case, but a control case.
That distinction matters more than it first appears.
An edge case reassures the system. It says: this is rare, exceptional, statistically ignorable. An edge cas...

If life is a fabric, holes wear thin, rips and tears happen, threads unravel. You mend what you can, patch what you must, and learn to live with the wear. This particular patch has had its stitches, its modest embroidery, its frayed edges-and it feels like time to let this little spell loose.

#FlyingSaucerAttack don't really enter the room. They're already there when you notice them. Their records don't announce a position or propose a future. They don't feel like interventions. They feel like something that was happening anyway, and happened to be recorded.

Hmmm, mages decked out in papier-mache plate mail to sidestep armor restrictions while not looking like the party’s glass cannon….
D&D mages should routinely disguise themselves as other classes.
If people know about your spells, they'll target you first. So, it is best for the party if no one knows you're the mage until you're ready to unleash your killing blow.

There is a long-standing temptation to describe every new #Ulver album as a “reinvention,” as if the band were engaged in a restless chase for novelty. Neverland is not a reinvention so much as an adaptation—an adjustment to conditions that have changed, both around the band and within it.
