Absolute all-timer sentence in today's @nytimes.com

"some legal experts have called it a crime to summarily execute civilians" says today's New York Times, continuing their long tradition of whitewashing fascism

Hey did I mention I saw the new Kiss of the Spider-Woman? Honestly, pretty interesting movie that’s pretty well executed. Sometimes it’s kind of bad but it feels like that is totally on purpose. I can see why they didn’t even bother to advertise it.

Não quero parecer um velho, mas eu sou da época em que operações secretas para derrubar poderes em outros países eram secretas.

Os caras permitirem esse nível de vazamento demonstra, sim, que eles pararam de se importar com consequências, mas também mostra o quanto eles são ruins de serviço.

Print de uma manchete do UOL que diz "Trump dá carta branca à CIA para derrubar Maduro na Venezuela" e uma linha abaixo que diz "operações secretas e bombardeios contra o país são considerados, diz NY Times."

Quando eu falava pros meus alunos gringos aqui no RU que eu tinha 20 horas de aula por semana de graça eles quase choravam. Eles tinham tipo 4 por semana no máximo, pagando 65 mil reais por ano.

What was the final nail on your Twitter coffin? Maybe was all that time ago when Elon started saying there should be a civil war in the UK

Everyone has a different threshold and different reasons they might keep an account

Like the event that actually spurred me to switch was really just a "final nail in the coffin" thing. I already hated it there and the direction it was trending, just not enough to hard switch ecosystems at the time

Long story short, an actual Nazi doxxing ring. Enough people reported them that they went away for like 12 hours and then Elon personally brought them back. The site is dead. If you’re still on there, go lock your account right now

"Anyone who has ever tasted the delights of pure intonation ... in string-quartet playing must come to the conclusion that there can be no such thing as atonal music."

Does this quote by Hindemith explain why he the violist, unlike other modern composers who were pianists, was never atonal?

Probably one of my weirdest and nerdiest bits of knowledge is that I know what "the comma" means in music.

'Western listeners have essentially been conditioned to hear equal temperament as “in tune” through centuries of keyboard music and modern recorded music'

This quote is just a banger

radek @radekllundain.bsky.social · 12h

Are string musicians simply better at just intonation (as opposed to equal temperament) than other musicians?

The only true English party is the Green Party since they support independence for England. Let's see how Farage can counter this much English patriotism.

Obviously what every left-wing student should do as a duty is to complain about everything everywhere. If there is no safe space then no one should be safe anywhere on campus from the criticisms of a blue-haired non-binary person

Devolution is essentially flimsy while it has no constitutional validity and is entirely vulnerable to Westminster parliamentary sovereignty. It is both unreasonable and impossible for Wales and Scotland to save England from its Norman statehood
