I'm not here to be followed, I'm here to keep in touch with what people I want to hear are saying, and maybe say some stuff myself. Set your expectations accordingly.

There are highly regarded pieces of music, regularly performed, which call for instruments including anvils or cannons. Anything can be a musical instrument with enough imagination.

One of the most human things you can do is find a way to play a tune. I have seen music made using drain pipes and sandals; using a carefully drilled fresh carrot; using vacuum cleaners; with bottles; using the human body as an instrument.
With literally every advance in technology, humans have asked "can I play music with that?" and then found a way to make the answer "yes". We play music with floppy disk drives. With printers. We have found a way to play music with *artificial lightning*.

Doesn't even need to be particularly hot, and in vacuum, the smoother your metals are, the worse your problems with them spontaneously welding together.

One of my very favorite pieces of music is the original Doctor Who theme. Which was composed by Ron Grainer, then realized by Delia Derbyshire in such a creative way that the original composer's reaction was "did I write that?"

This is not weaponization of the bagpipes; they were already a weapon.
Jack Duffy attaches a respirator to his bagpipes to play through tear gas. “I always play it whenever the police retreat because it's like, ‘You fucking ran while we stayed,’” he says.

"Images obtained by CBS News appear to show the zip ties and bruised wrists of Anabel Romero's 14-year-old daughter SueHey, a U.S. citizen who was tending to her 6- and 8-year-old siblings when the agents descended on the crowd in military-style gear and herded them into a confined area."

Today I gained the completely unsurprising knowledge that Scalia had a sad about Vatican II, because of fucking course he did. It's always the ones you most expect.
One of Antonin Scalia's kids allegedly said that she was relieved that her father died when he did, because he would be so "upset" at how "coarse" and "polarized" politics has become, which makes me wonder if Scalia's children have any idea who their dad was www.politico.com/news/magazin...

I love jokes like this. At one point, I was wearing a watch chain, but instead of a watch I had it attached to a piece of paper with "Eight o'Clock" written on it. To those who knew the reference, it was instant hilarity...

So I think everyone knows what Chuck E. Cheese is but for non-parents who don't know what LifeTouch is, it's the company that for decades has had a near-monopoly on school pictures.
Finding out that top execs from both LifeTouch and Chuck E. Cheese are in the Epstein files has pissed me off in a way that I didn’t think was still possible.
