Haven't had a lot of obvious symptoms but I feel like I've been sick this whole time, just like body aches and a weird cough? Ugh I hate this schrodingers flu.

Seriously if you want to create a 'thinking space' just use a mind-mapping program.

"just use AI to create a dialogic thinking space!" sure seems like you could use some actual critical feedback from real people instead of a yes-machine.

Was going to try making some kind of whammy bar like control for CV stuff with the guitar synth, but then I realized I could just get a part from a Rock Band controller and it's basically ready to go.

Saw some bullshit conspiracy theory garbage about how they saw the future converging on one timeline and all the 'elites' are trying desperately to avoid this catastrophe and I couldn't stop thinking: it's just UBI and marginally higher tax rates for billionaires.

I used to think I was more of a Gonzo, but I think since becoming a drummer now I see the truth.

So when Trump sends his goons to attack areas that didn't vote for him, is that supposed to help the GOP in those areas? Pretty sure its destroying their political futures.

These comics apps should have a 'no creeps' mode, but it would probably delete like half the comic books.

aww jesus christ on a cracker really wish I hadn't even finished reading the article on this whole Green Lantern writer case. That is some evil shit.

GenAi is offensive to me being used for concept art, but honestly I wouldn't have a problem with auto-roto or greenscreen stuff in workflows for CGI. Everyone has such a bad taste in their mouths from it though I'm hesitant to touch it. Radioactive bad vibes.

Like there are 30 issues of Green Lantern missing in the early 100s. You can't even read the first part of the big Dave Gibbons drawn arc?

Kind of can't believe how DC's own app is just missing a bunch of Green Lantern issues. It just has huge holes and like wtf.

All we have left is defiance. Not heroic, not loud, just the stubborn act of continuing on our own terms. Making something, a poem, a painting, music, that wasn’t here before you were. Not because the universe asked you to, but because it didn’t.

I feel like the theme of this year was healing and letting go of a lot of toxic things, grieving for what was lost. I hope next year there's a bit of hope for something new.

Playing cymbals with mallets, is this the gateway drug to playing GONGS????

I tried playing drums with a pair of soft felt mallets and holy shit I love it. Allows you to play so much softer with a lot more dynamics, the cymbals become soft and washy, but the snare and toms are still punchy.

For the new year, I'm thinking about systems not goals. Focus on the flow of time, of life and the living of it.

I keep rearranging my main eurorack on modulargrid. I think I want to go right to left, with CV control and oscillators on the right, LFOs and VCAS middle, and effects and output on the left. I have my area setup so the mixer etc is on the left.

I think the 'great filter' might just be when a lifeform gets advanced enough reality TV and politics merge and then it's basically all over.

The strib is reporting Woodbury officials were not aware of a planned ICE facility. This means there’s no real plan and ample time to throw sand in the gears. Contact your city council in Woodbury. Get on the phone every day. Go to every zoning meeting. Start now. When it comes up you’ll be ready
