CCP gutting their fintech sector in 2021 before they ended up with their own version of musk is strong evidence for the existence of the Mandate of Heaven tbh

New Oklou record sounds quite good!!

Happy music Friday!

This guy is so cringe I feel like I have a better understanding of Catholic social teaching from reading the catechism my ex-girlfriends mom mailed me after we broke up than he does

I’m not Catholic, but I’ve read the Summa Theologiae passage he is referencing, and cleary St. Aquinas is not saying all charity is equal. He is talking about ensuring your family has enough to eat, not ensuring your company is paying no taxes, before you help your neighbor find food.

This album is insane. 1951 big band album that is behind the times in terms of its structure, but way ahead of the times with its arrangement and composition. Uses second Viennese school tonality and Messiaen harmonic structure years before anyone used the term “third stream”

I’m burning out

The Brutalist will probably win many Oscars. But it’s mid. Exploits shortcuts to pathos and doesn’t really seem interested in investigating its subject matter on a deep level. First movie to sell one brutillion tickets though

Red Haired Eric (Live), by Tenniscoats from the album Live Wanderus

Song of the winter 💙

Tax season is so sick when you’re on a bonus payment plan and have deductible mortgage interest

Are there music guys on here? Music from Memory/ECM guys? DJ Sprinkles inverted top 40 guys? Vinyl collector dad guys? Retired SoundCloud-cum-NTS guys?

Soulseek is the greatest piece of software ever conceived

I’m posting about movies here too. My favorite movies that I’ve watched so far this year were Swing Girls, Phantom of the Paradise, and Nights of Cabiria. This weekend I will watch 8 1/2 and some Takeshi Kitano movie (probably Sonatine)
