pre-writing a devastating obituary for your enemy is god-tier hating of a kind you don’t often see anymore. renaissance haterism. beautiful stuff.
A Sharon Begley byline, almost 5 years after her death.

Upon hearing the news James Watson had died, a STAT reporter said in our Slack, "I wish I could read what Sharon would have written."

Incredible news: Sharon in fact did pre-write a Watson obit. And it is masterful and excoriating.

Animado por el hilo de @anlaetificat.bsky.social sobre notas y frecuencias, aquí va otro muy relacionado sobre la riqueza tonal en la música árabe. O también: qué es una nota en la música occidental vs qué es una nota en la música árabe.

The batch of four solid body sopranos all sold pretty quickly.

I'm shopping for woods to make the next batch - please get in touch if you'd like to reserve one.

¿Sabías que la nota "La" (A) que usamos para afinar no siempre equivale a 440 Hz? En música antigua suele bajar, en muchas orquestas modernas sube, etc, y esa elección cambia color, tensión y sensación en la música.

Ven, ven, que cuento por qué dos orquestas tocando lo mismo pueden sonar distinto.

"Little Wing" is a very petite build that's smaller than a soprano uke - tip to tail it's 17.5in (44.5cm). Under the lid is the full set of electrics you'll find in one of my bigger builds. The neck is poplar with a walnut fretboard and diatonic scale. Tuned to B.

En muchos casos la gente de los países en oscuro tardan más en emanciparse porque las personas de los países en clarito especulan con la vivienda en los países del sur.
Young Europeans leave their parents’ home at the age of 26 on average.

However, this varies significantly between EU countries.

According to the latest survey, the youngest Europeans to leave home are, on average, Finnish, at 21.4 🇫🇮 and the eldest are Croatians, at 31.3 🇭🇷

Acoustic Dreadnought-

The top inlay nearly complete. Some leaf vein work I want to do...very minimal.
Soundhole is 100mm dia(3-15/16"). If I'm right, this should add a bit more punch.
Have great respect for inlay pro's... and grateful how this turned out

De niño estuve muy enganchado a los Thunderbird. Tanto que algunos de mis juguetes acabaron explotando espectacularmente con pólvora de fuegos artificiales.
Gerry and Sylvia Anderson's Thunderbirds started 60 years ago today! @gerryanderson.bsky.social

A British show that fired my imagination as a child (but 20 years later). A childhood that stays with me thanks to the Thunderbird 2 replica in my office. 😌

This is a mandolin, made from the body of a violin and ukulele neck that I extended shaped and added a step fret fretboard of my own design. I forgot to record the construction of this one because I'm a big jerk #musiciansofskylight #homemadeinstruments #luthier #streetluthier #trashinstruments

No he hablado de este tema porque no me apetecía, y seguiré sin hacerlo.

Nunca pensarías que un pastor baptista afroamericano del estado de Virginia (Howard-John Wesley) fuese a encadenar exactamente una detrás de otra las palabras que millones tenemos en la punta de la lengua, y ahí lo tienes:
