The smell of vetiver has great persistence, with warm and deep notes found in the rarest resinoids. It becomes ambery and balsamic. Indeed, vetiver terpenes evoke medicinal odors: green and resinous pine.
publishing a generative art/physics cellular automaton i have been working on for a while that has reached a releasable state: 🌬️♟️Chess Gas 🌬️. I received this idea in a vision in the 2000s and it's nice to see it in the world. I hope you like it. Many parameters and colours. chessgas.neocities.org
I love it mainly because it drives you mad. As Solresol can be used with any combination of seven symbols (colours, notes etc), you apparently start 'reading' meanings everywhere. For example, Beethoven's fifth goes WEDNESDAY! WEDNESDAY! Wenesdaywenesday Wednesday."
now i think of It, solresol is exactly the kind of gimmicky conlang shit that should do numbers in the current brainrot world. get in on the ground floor.

Lev 🇵🇸@abookofsymbols.bsky.social · 2y agothis morning I’m wondering whether the gecko pictured is a helpful sprite or a foul serpent from the depths. he stirs the spirit and yet obscures much from us-for where is this power located, and how to tap the font and drink of it?
Having trouble remembering which axis is which? No problemo, just consult this handy guide!
i still believe there is room in this world for love between demoncrats and repugnicans, and how much more for trade in goods and services
Patty Hoyt@patois42.bsky.social · 2y agoI need to find an electrician but I want to make sure they are not a repugnican. Any thoughts on how to do that? Is there like an Angie's list for liberals? There should be.
I don't think this is true. I think you're supposed to be embedded in a network of criticism, gossip, stimulant abuse and strange literary rites to work this out.
Screaming Pectoriloquy@caulimovirus.bsky.social · 2y agoOne skill you’re supposed to have as a literate person is “be able to answer *why* someone wrote what they wrote”. Are they being serious? Are they being silly? You’re supposed to be able to figure that out on your own!
this website is trying to get me to pay attention to occasional cortex
monarchs can overreach very easily. it's not an inherently hilarious concept. John. Charles II, James II, George III: famous overreachers and that's just in one country.
mtsw@mtsw.bsky.social · 3y agoIt's funny that they acknowledge that the Pope is an absolute monarch within the vatican but still do the "critics think he overreached" thing they do to Democrats in the US www.washingtonpost.com/world/2023/1...
sometimes i am not sure that they actually did all the planning, but thought about how cool it would be if they did.
Abby@arobertswrites.com · 3y agoI do believe that the people who practiced Greco-Egyptian magic believed it worked, in some form, (as opposed to simply scamming people) because some of these take a lot of planning and work for no other obvious benefit.
does this website have an "if you follow {a,b,c,e,f,h} then mb follow {d,g} social graph hole filling thing yet?
i think my crankiest “i am approaching middle age” opinion these days is that IP shared universe franchises have not just been bad for the movies but bad for audiences to, in that they have basically trained them to treat story and character as secondary to LORE and EASTER EGGS
jamelle@jamellebouie.net · 3y agorediscovering on threads that star wars fanboys are the absolute worst. had someone literally say that because i have only been a star wars fan for 30 years, i do not understand how much dave filoni means to the fandom

You can really drive yourself insane looking into just how much of American Protestantism, and thus the tides of American history and politics, are driven by what’s essentially a more masculine-coded version of The Secret
Seems that Arnold Schwarzenegger wasn't initially very impressed by 1960s Venice Beach and Hollywood. https://www.ft.com/content/cd4e5054-9e0a-4993-a73c-cc10aec554ef
This is already an extraordinary piece on the literature of Việt Nam in the New York Times, but this note especially blew me away—what a powerful argument against house style when it comes to foreign languages:
probably nearzero chance of paedosadist snuff videos on this website which is good
I've been thinking a lot this week about what happened to all the anti-woo sceptics. It's looking very overdetermined, but this is an important part of it.

Hahaha what a brilliant hypothesis: Were elephants able to grow so big without increasing their cancer risk because they evolved meticulous DNA-checking machinery because they have massive, hot internal testicles?!? 🧪
Elephants’ Giant Hot Testicles Might Be the Reason They Get Less Cancer
A scientist claims elephants’ cancer-preventing genes may have evolved to protect their sperm from the scorching hot habitats the pachyderms’ live in
