look on what youtube "self help" has done! they must hear of a different life, which i've lived for twice their age, and which has done me well—to live for love and art, to let fleeting time fleet, to spend freely when one has it, and to somehow take bad fortune as a bon vivant all the same

there is a beautiful mate in 8 in this king's gambit I just played. I didn't find it, but I still won, though it is amazing that we mate black on e4 here 😱

was actually really enjoying listening to that long tape loop from yesterday, so I decided to release it:

"Created in preparation for an upcoming installation at Whitewater Draw, this track features a 32 foot tape loop installed—well—in the hall. It was cut from a test tape for said installation."

"Having become skeptical, we can now take the next step and become paranoid."

A line that (unfortunately) speaks to me, from @rhenderson.bsky.social & @elinm.bsky.social's recent book on dogwhistles — in particular, the section on sociolinguistic hypervigilance.
