Human beings are prone to mistaking local consensus for global consensus. Most people never notice this process happening because they're never pushed far enough outside consensus to see its edges. Increasingly, we encounter flattened symbolic versions of one another first, mediated through our local cluster's narratives.
You'll skim it at best . If you're kind, you might offer sympathy. If you're an asshole, you'll look for a comment form to go off on a rant devoid of any connection to the thing you're responding to. There isn&
Step 1 : Grab DB Browser for SQLite Step 2 : Find your Ableton data directory. If you're on Windows: press windows key + R, and put in %LOCALAPPDATA%/Ableton then click Run. The stuff you're looking for will be in Live Database . Step 3 : Open one of the
This started as a comment on Hacker News. I need a browser extension to capture comments on forums and social media as blog drafts. Here is one of a small number of things I consider indisputable: It's impossible to make self or mind small enough to be safe
Circumstances aligned recently to allow me to catch up on The Walking Dead. I started with spinoffs: Dead City and Daryl Dixon. I had already watched most of Fear The Walking Dead and the first season of World Beyond. Fear was better about not lingering. World Beyond was too much
Spend any time immersed in music discussions and you'll see people ask why 4/4 is so popular. The short and most precise answer to all questions of music and music theory is: centuries of changing traditions spanning the rise and fall of empires lead (and led) to
A recurring line in discussion of federated, decentralized social media is that no one cares about it. They just want their Twitter without the Nazis. Which is okay. But how it looks on the backend matters. When the illusion of a unified user experience breaks, how accessible the escape pod
I used to look up into the night sky and wonder. Then I went there. Among the trillions upon trillions of stars, none had that kindred spirit I longed for. I found a machine civilization, a sentient black hole (I called him Phil, which he enjoyed very much), and others
This is all stuff I use or have used and still recommend as of publishing. Black Octopus Sound has a 1GB royalty-free sampler . This was my go-to pack when I was just starting out and couldn't afford anything. Sonniss has a huge collection of free and

"When someone shows you who they are, believe them the first time." - Maya Angelou It's the same case made against Twitter, Facebook, Instagram, and every other profit-focused social media silo. And every time, the case is right. I'm going to call it Facebook,
2026 update : This comic and that comic are very relatable. Some people seem to have themselves figured out pretty quick. For the rest of us, identity is like a Matryoshka doll. Pull one layer off, and you don't seem to change much, but the process of coming to
I discovered that trying to write one big blob does not work for me. I can get as far as 2000 words before the volume overwhelms. As with many things in life, breaking it down into pieces helps a lot! This is where most outlining writers suggest a big bulleted
As much as I would love to put photos in here, I didn’t have the awareness I do now that furry is a majority-queer community, so I wasn’t very careful about obscuring faces in the photos I took. Furry Weekend Atlanta is local and everything
