i'm still saying i like an actual babel fish over another iteration of airpods

i mean, if you don't have it stuck in your ear, you could always put it back in the tank and watch it swim around🤔

i mean, seriously: when they first announced this, my eyes popped open because i can't get this passage about the Babel Fish out of my head.

"Meanwhile, the poor Babel fish, by effectively removing all barriers to communication between different races and cultures, has caused more and bloodier wars than anything else in the history of creation."

The other Ella Christmas album, which is all sacred (and her last Christmas album), is actually something else - truly remarkable vocals 😳

correction: waiting for inspiration will make you hungry, since you'll be waiting so damned long

anothercultland @anothercultland.bsky.social · 1d

LOVE those cases, though!

believe it or not the Ella may be the most in-stock CD on discogs - like 800 or so copies

It’s really hard to describe to people who are not artists how survival mode does *not* inspire creativity, as the myth would have us believe. It suppresses creativity as you try to limit every possible risk – and the opportunities that come with them.

It turns out building habits and stuff actually requires not being in survival mode, who knew?!
(Yeah yeah I did)

I am so happy to see someone else has that ghost memory

I surprised myself the other day when faced with the magic mouse dying (recharging mice now has a calendar reminder) that my fingers remembered Command Option Escape to reach Force Quit when my brain couldn't 😮

this is entirely okay - even without the losses (my sincere condolences)

Earlier this year, Dr. Jane Goodall sat down for an interview for Brad Falchuk’s new Netflix series, Famous Last Words.

The premise of the series is to interview people on the condition that the interview not air until the subject has passed away.
