I just set up Hermes on computer on my local network with Tailscale and the ability to talk to it via Telegram. I think I’m in the future, yall. My mind keeps getting blowner and blowner.

i like the idea of will smith being an apex predator for chris rock and only chris rock, like he is the metroid to an x parasite

I saw a clip from a Donald Glover interview where he casually says “culture is just compression of information” and I havent been able to stop thinking about that

You can learn a lot about people’s knowledge and relationship with contemporary music and culture with one simple question: When did you first learn about Pharrell Williams?

Anyone having any album recs? I’m listening to a lot of albums that I’m already familiar with by way of 1 or 2 songs beloved songs, but that I’ve never actually listened to start to finish. Currently listening to Everything So Far by Pinegrove

Specifically, I'm listening to albums. I'm tired of algorithmically generated playlists. It's great to make an actual decision and then sit with the album from start to finish.

I’m in the locker room in the fitness room in my office building, overhearing a man yell at another man “LOVE IS NOT FINITE. LOVE IS NOT ZERO SUM.”

I still don't get Animal Collective. It sounds like self indulgent noise to me. Animal Collective actively puts me in a bad mood. If members of Animal Collective see this - I'm no one. People whose music tastes I deeply respect love you. Anyone wanna put me on Animal Collective?

The culture is obsessed with old people who used to be hot somehow still being hot. That sounds exhausting. Be old, it’s okay. I think it’s rooted in fear of death. Elizabeth Hurley is still hot at 61!! Maybe we won’t all be dead someday!!

any songwriters out there can provide advice on songwriting organization and routine? I want to write songs, but am behaviorally avoidant. When i do sit down to write, I'll write cool loops and things that I don't ultimately flesh out into full songs.

The youth these days are still gonna have grown ups being like “omg, I remember when you were a baby!” But now those grown ups can be like “here’s a photo of us from my instagram from when we hung out when you were a baby.”
