“And then the athonite monk says to me, ‘what do you think about Jay Dyer’?”

Tru story

Btw evrynyan the irc has been up for a bit

Can someone ask Alix about her thoughts on radiohead and the corpus of Johnny Greenwood and Paul Thomas Anderson?

Picked up a bike this week and found this outstanding list of rules for bike/cycling decorum… makes me think we need our own list

AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH

IM SEEETHHINNGGGGGG!!!!!!!

Saw a yt comment that said:
“if you’re confident enough there’s no wrong notes”-thelonius probably

And im literally seething because it implies that Monk supported baseless garbage but we know that’s not true because he himself said “there’s no such thing as a half diminished… it’s a minor with the 6 in the bass”

“How beautiful are the grasses of the earth?

Yet even these the creator has given to man for a carpet under his feet.

How much more beautiful, then…
must we be than they?”

"As one of his eternal, disastrous traits, the human being is incapable of grasping the ratio of an object to its price. For a cheap glass of vodka, a soldier is roused to attack in a war not his own, and lays down his life. In the same way, the zek, for those popper's handouts, slips off a log, gets dumped in the icy freshet of a northern river, or kneads clay for mudhuts barefoot in icy water, and because of this, those feet are never going to reach the land of freedom."

I want to make a thread called like “Theory of Everything” which isn’t exactly a TOE but more to discuss a way of distilling concepts of “work” into its basic fundaments, or into basic “practices”; eg. litigation, pure mathematics, theology all deal with the same sort of basic proving and reasoning…. And I’d like to classify these grouped practices and call them like “logical reasoning” (Lord forgive me for including theology) and then do the same thing for other kinds of work…. It’s a kind of taxonomic endeavor

congratulations to @John Edelweiss for hitting a reaction score of 67

…all the little shared parts of urban life-
the laundromat, with its tiles covered in a paste formed of dust, lint and detergent
hearing the screams through the walls and floors
the rhythmic yelping
cars backfiring, racing up the hill as we try to sleep,
The sirens singing us to sleep
As we lay our heads and peer,
realizing we’re not the only ones.

Outside the window I watch them all,
Rolling up the hill until they fall…

…all the little shared parts of urban life-
the sidewalk, how it sparkles in the sun
soaking up the scents of those who tread
The blood, the sweat and heat create the scent of days gone by,
The way the cars ignore it so,
And me, pedestrians belong to it,
Ever-shifting the dust, kicking the rocks, eroding that which makes us feel at home

Until one day we forget those roads
That once we thought we’d always know

…all the little shared parts of urban life-
the tank was full, we drove too far
you must get out and push the car
they must be watching, i’m sure they are
push with ease, don’t try too hard
the whispers from the distant shores
carried forth by wooden oars
piling fore upon the shores
punching holes into the doors

Left alone, beaten and sore
Laying there and wanting more

CAUSE WHEN I GET HOME TO LINCOLN COUNTY

Is it an issue on my part or have the IRC's certs expired?

It’s silly how people think these Brit’s, Swedes and Canadians were writing songs about the south, Dixie Town and the Mexican American war

"They call it Bepop. I call it something else. [...] They call us 'Jazz'.

We're classical musicians, because we're trying to find out how to improvise like Chopin did, like Bach did, like Brahms did, like Liszt did, all of them, they learned how to improvise.

So, we are trying to learn how to improvise like them, that's all."
