Sometimes I find myself going down random rabbit holes. There's a Vivaldi piece (La Folia) I've had on heavy rotation lately, and now learning that it's a variation on a chord progression named La Folia, and can be found A LOT in other works from Beethoven and Bach to Britney Spears #ClassicalMusic
Classical music's favourite chord progression

This gets me worked up so much. Smoke/CO2 detectors should be cheap. Like amazingly cheap. Like 5 bucks a pop max. This tech saves lives and is *DECADES* old. Currently priced, it becomes a barrier for low income families to replace. So they roll the dice so they can afford food.
Ains Ooal Gown@bwil.bsky.social · 2w agoThe joys of home ownership. I just ordered 6 new smoke/CO2 detectors to replace all 6 of ours since they technically expire every 10yrs. All 6 for the low price of $250 🥹

Spain been dominating but just can’t convert those chances. Messi’s been a nonfactor.
Geordi’s new cat cave, a $5 Habitat ReStore score. He was obsessed as soon as I assembled it. #CatsOfBluesky
Kinda wish fifa would adopt the NFL injury rule - if they have to stop play bc you’re writhing in the ground, you have to sit out until the next dead ball.
I feel like I haven’t heard about Future Considerations this year. Did he finally retire? HOF worthy career.
The USMNT is the Charlotte Hornets of FIFA. It’s the hope that kills you.
Another one. How does Brazil not challenge him sooner? Can’t let that kind of skill get a shot like that

Not to be overshadowed by Haaland’s goal, Nyland has been playing lights out in goal. Brazil has not lacked high danger chances.
From “No mechanism to appeal” To “Red card has been suspended”. FIFA gonna FIFA 🤦♂️😂😂
I see a lot of friends wishing Miles Bridges well and questioning why the Hornets traded him. He can go fuck off to Phoenix. And the Hornets can fuck off too for not having a spine the last 4 years.
We said goodbye to Mo today. At age 17, his body was failing him, and we had to make the decision. He came to us in 2009 a few months old, having been found on the side of the road. He had a whole agility career, and then older, wiser sibling to our 2 kids.
My guilty pleasure is watching "sovereign citizen" arguments getting owned in court.
Watching the highlights from Sportsnet, and saw that their PxP guy announced Svech's R3G3 OT GWG as Evgeni Svechnikov 😂 @ 15:54
