Too often we recognize too late that we should not have become involved in something that unexpectedly debases us.

@aliner The scene in that film where one of the characters has a breakdown and needs to be sedated is what sticks with me most having seen it only once about 2y ago—I remember it kind of made my skin crawl with fear…he’s a genius

Had the unbelievable privilege of hearing Seong-Jin Cho perform the complete solo piano works of Ravel on Wednesday night. Cho is one of the best Ravel interpreters alive, I think; so sensitive and coloristic. His soft playing is utterly transcendent

@bartlebytaco Just started Bergsonism the other day. Given the reputation Deleuze has I've been really pleasantly surprised by how lucid the prose is. coming off of Bergson and Bachelard I feel like the prose in this particular book is remarkably clear

@_ryanruby_ @aliner so good. I haven’t finished it yet actually—I started reading it a little bit ago. The lost email thing is insane

TRUMP: And from what they tell me, you know, Kant said we couldn’t do it, and the Germans have done great things, really great things, but I don’t know about Kant, but they tell me that we’re going to see it, and frankly maybe even touch it,

I have not read Severance or seen Severance but I also thought this
i am so fucking stupid. I haven't watched Severance yet bc I thought it was an adaptation of book Severance by Ling Ma, a book I love, and I thought it was fucked up they changed the main characters race. it's not an adaptation of that book. they aren't alike at all. oh my god.

One of the many things I learned while caring for ducks is that it actually IS very good at cleaning ducks. If they come down with wet feather one of the first steps is to give them a bath and use Dawn
Me: why should I use your dish soap Dawn: look how good it cleans this duck Me: ok well how does it do on dishes? Dawn: again, I can't stress enough how clean this duck is

Wikia used to be such a useful tool & and they seriously sold their souls. I spent so much time reading & editing as a kid/teenager and the state of what the sites have become is mortifying
"Fandom" wikis are perhaps the only non-malware websites that are actively hostile to people trying to use them for their intended purpose. You are punished for trying to access it

@aliner I’m glad you like it!! It’s a special recording. His sensitivity to color is crazy. Interesting that he then takes the second movement at a pretty standard tempo…I think he has other recordings that are very unique like this too but I forget what

@aliner I would never play this this way, and I think most people wouldn't, but I still find it really interesting to listen to just because Pogorelich is so incredibly sensitive. (cp Glenn Gould's Chopin Sonata 3, which I think is kind of dreadful even though I am a total Gould fanatic)
