Quantum hairsplitting. Epistemology. Thought crimes.

Just passing through.

• not leading • not following •
• not getting out of the way •

lift yourself, you lift the world

try to lift the world,
you'll break your back

Senator Wyden’s “EPSTEIN BOMBSHELL” thread, and no doubt the report from which it is derived, begs the following [compound] question: WHAT DID THE SENATE INTEL COMMITTEE KNOW, AND WHEN DID IT KNOW IT?

Don’t just settle for the low-hanging fruit. See the evidence through to its logical conclusion.

Inclusion of “Five Administrations and we’re still in the dark,” is especially noteworthy since a great many Dem loyalists routinely ignore it. This is a •devastating• indictment of Power. All who claim to support Epstein’s victims are •obligated• to reflect on their own loyalties - and blindspots.

Considering we have a fatal block feature made for trigger fingers like mine, it’s weirdly pathological that indignation & snitching are exalted community values here.

Who’s solving the Louvre robbery? Right answers only.

Better late than never.

I stand corrected - and, yet, the point stands.

Respectfully, if you’re naive enough to believe Bluesky Management doesn’t have its dirty little fingers on the scale, what you understand about social media wouldn’t fill a thimble.

Nothing. I’m confident my kidnappers would give me a ride home in 90 minutes or less.

I’d need a Piper Cub to bridge the chasm between how I’m perceived on social media vs. IRL, but it’s weird all over. I suspect many with a history of Spiritually Transformative Experience(s), trauma and/or neurodivergence feel similarly. I’m a poor fit for social media, but it’s kind of liberating.

There are social penalties for prescience. Warnings are rarely heeded. The human attachment to comfort zones spawns a great deal of misery. This is what The Cassandra Myth signifies.

Post a fictional comedian who definitely would accept an invitation to the Riyadh Comedy Festival.

There’s no pleasure in vindication.

We have to stop meeting like this. But not right now.

‪@klevgrand.bsky.social‬ is a refreshingly unique player in a crowded sound design field. I have my eye on a few of their plugins, but Pipa is a warm spark for my avant-garde vocal musings. Half the fun is not knowing in advance how I’ll use it.

Sweet. The greatest joy from the simplest pleasures - “the pursuit of happiness" being the least fruitful way of experiencing it.

All about the plants today. I volunteer for a couple of horticultural orgs. Tomorrow, I’ll work on a team, sweat like a mule, collapse & hit the keys after resting up.

My past experiences with formant filters have been less than inspiring.

I'm finally inspired.

If your head is wired for conjuring tripadelic sound, AudioThing’s THE ORB awaits your conjuration. Very reasonably priced - especially if you get it before July 31st.

Suffice to say, the poster has no appreciation of Paul Feyerabend. Very few do. He isn’t the most accessible author, but his criticism of science *as a culture* was prophetic. As Fascists wage an unprecedented war against all public institutions, his message is as counterinuitive as it is relevant.

Many audio plugin businesses offer a free plugin as an enticement to their paid products. Begrudgingly. Few are worth the signup/installation.

Darkpalace Studio’s TINY-CATERPILLAR update proves they're an exception to the rule. Discerning ears should check ‘em out. darkpalace.studio/products/cat...

Admittedly having no experience with tape in a mixing capacity, I’ve grown quite fond of Arturia’s TAPE MELLO-FI. It works nicely at a whisper or a scream.

Post your choice for alternate reality president who isn’t President Whitmore from Independence Day.

We had some great conversations but never got to meet. Rare is the person who recognizes my authenticity and accepts me as the weirdo I am. Kindreds recognize. Barry Crimmins was a TRUE DISSIDENT - not an ingratiating poser currying favor with power-worshipping Dems. Real ones pay a price for that.

Totally plausible.

a long habit
of not thinking a thing wrong
gives it a superficial appearance
of being right

and raises
a t • f i r s t
a formidable outcry
in defense of custom

but the tumult soon subsides

You've been kidnapped. The characters from the last TV show you watched are trying to rescue you. Who is coming to save you?

I’m doomed.
