My fianceé and I have decided to watch all 250 DVDs we own in -- for some reason -- alphabetical order. This means we get to enjoy incredible back to back pairings like 12 Angry Men + 13 Going on Thirty, Monty Python + Moonlight, and The Truman Show + Turbo: A Power Rangers Movie.

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.

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.

Denver gave people experiencing homelessness $1,000 a month. A year later, nearly half of participants said they had housing.
Participants in Denver's basic-income program reported having more-secure housing, though results were similar in the trial and control groups.

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

A number of artists and creators have made their home on Bluesky, and we hear their concerns with other platforms training on their data. We do not use any of your content to train generative AI, and have no intention of doing so.

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 🪘🥁🪇:

Notation Must Die: The Battle For How We Read Music
Many people feel that western notation makes it unnecessarily hard to read music. If we want to sight read, learn music theory or just practice an instrument...

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

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.
