proof tom yorke is a bottom, I guess 🤷‍♂️

loving the absolute RANGE in these first two replies 🥹

screenshot of a bluesky post asking what a "quant" is and its comments. one comment is long with lots of words, but answers the question well. the other one playfully briefly riffs on the meaninf of lgbtq. both excellent comments

randomly saw this on insta, and now I kinda wanna finally read some cormac mccarthy... been meaning to check out like the road or blood meridian, not sure which. never read anything by him before, but I've heard it's intense stuff?? 👀 💙📚 #booksky

cormac mccarthy quote from Instagram: "rage is only for what you believe can be fixed. all the rest is grief."

TIL that bach's brandenburg concertos were quite likely never performed in his lifetime and I'm outraged bc what do you mean nobody heard these BANGERS until at least 1850?!

YouTube music playing bach's third brandenburg concerto

Google search result saying "It is highly likely that the Brandenburg Concertos were never performed in Bach's lifetime. Bach compiled the six concertos and sent the autograph manuscript to Christian Ludwig, Margrave of Brandenburg, in 1721, hoping to secure a new position. The Margrave never replied, and there is no record of the Cöthen court or the Brandenburg ensemble ever performing the pieces. The manuscript sat unplayed in a library archive for over a century until it was discovered in 1849."

what do we think of this messenger bag? I got it bc I felt like my backpack was a lot of extra unnecessary bag now that I'm toting a smaller laptop around, but that also means I don't strictly *need* the new bag either 🤔 (and yeah it does close, lol)

small messenger bag open on a counter, it is dark gray and has orange stitching.

I wonder if it's all the excessive fame and money that makes people think of it as anything especially "epic" bc honestly I'm not sure what else it could be. but then again, I do not care in the slightest about these people... but honestly, I hope everyone more invested in it has a great time ❤️❤️

*for ref, my 16in LG gram weighs practically nothing and has a massively long-lasting battery (we're talking like 12-15 hrs on a charge), but it's just dimensionally large/awkward to pack, I guess??? so obviously I needed a tiny 11.6 in dell for "portability," yes that absolutely makes sense 🤷‍♂️🤣

I'm still not fully sure why I bought this cheap lil 11.6in used laptop off eBay yesterday 🤔 it plus charger (bc of course it didn't COME with a power block, lmao) totaled around $100, so not tooooo bad I guess 🤷‍♂️ but now I'll just have a more portable* (??) thing to heck around on 🤷‍♂️

oh dear, i've installed nixOS on my backup pc to fuck around and find out... will i ever know peace in linux, or will i really distro hop forever?? meanwhile, apparently nix is the holy trinity of linux according to this random image i found in an article about it... 🤣

an image of nix as the holy trinity. within the vertices of the triangle are "the operating system," "the package manager," and "the language." orange lines labeled "IS" lead from these corners to the center of the triangle, which is "Nix" itself. Meanwhile, grey lines connect the corners to each other saying "IS NOT." So, Nix is all three things at once, but these component corners are not each other...

good on him for giving Wendy Carlos more exposure tho—a trans composer and performer of early synthesizer/electronic music who deserves all the hype she can get, imo

I still think of the time I was at a gay bar with some friends, in various states of undress of course, and this total stranger who'd been kinda hanging with us said to me, regarding my friend who was in just his jock strap: "you should slap that ass with those sexy sausage fingers, boy" 😳😳😳
