What's the purpose of saying that there's no position so extreme that someone could lose your vote? Especially this far out? You're effectively giving possible candidates the all clear to move as far right as they'd like. This seems foolish.
I used to dread the caro kann, and now with the Panov C6 is thrilling! it doesnt always go THIS well but this was a fun one
I'm watching myself become one of those people that's obsessed with Frank Zappa. I listened to The Yellow Shark, Joe's Garage, and Hot Rats yesterday, loved them so much I'm just going chronological now. Freak Out was good, Absolutely Free is amazing. Stravinsky Refs galore in track 3.
Saw Bugonia, absolutely loved it, and what a huge moment for contrabassoonists everywhere! not often you hear that featured
If you abandon the game instead of resigning on chess.com you should lose double the elo.
I sacrificed, THE ROOOOOOOK! #chess is there any kind of chess BlueSky community? Thinking of doing a 100 days of chess type of thing
And he sacrifices THE ROOOOOOOOOOK
The Ruy Lopez opening is so annoying to play against that I am just going to start using it myself. #chess
What was your favorite early clas NOT in your eventual major. Mine was Ethnomusicology: an introduction to folk music.
I am wondering what Natalie Wynn (contrapoints) could’ve said about Israel that wouldn’t have resulted in an internet dogpile.
There are only three political positions in America today
1) I like the fascism
2) I'll acquiesce to the fascism (reasons for this one vary: cowardice, access, denial, misguidedly thinking that acquiescence is savvy, etc)
3) I oppose the fascism
The rest is details
Ohio State announces it is now a joke.
Don’t ask my elo but just know I’m way prouder of this checkmate than I should be
If equal temperament has 1,000,000 haters, I am one of them.
If equal temperament has 1 hater, it is me.
If equal temperament has 0 haters, I am dead.
I think it’s time to reverse the curse everyone, we need to go back before the early modern era and set things right, I will be attempting to turn back time by playing the lute and using only 16th century chess openings, do your part.
Something that surprises me about having a 13 year old dog is that I have to tell him to slow down so he doesn’t get hurt. A truly bizarre combination of geriatric and toddler behavior
Every time I see Musk’s name in media it should be formatted like this
Elon Musk, who recently gave 2 Nazi salutes, …
“Clap on 2&4 never on 1&3!”
Hey. Stop clapping! You’re bothering me
Love those groovy covers! And that album
Posting like: who’s minority leader of the house, I would like a word with them!
I just finished Neal Stephenson’s Baroque Cycle. I liked it a lot but mostly I just want to say that I finished it because it’s almost 3000 pages long.
That’s here. That’s home. That’s us.
EXCITING ANNOUNCEMENT:
Assigned Media will be doing our first ever live Twitch stream this Monday.
Our trans journalists are counterprogramming the Trump inauguration. They'll play games, goof off, answer questions, and update you on the news, occasionally.
We've even got a special guest!
Luckily it’s easy to find lots of info that’s not conveniently threaded together based on the book, the podcast Historiansplaining has several eps that cover various topics in early modern Europe and they’re a favorite.
Halfway through the final novel of Neal Stephenson’s baroque cycle, and/or halfway through the 7th of 8 novels of the BC. Has anyone read this? I love it. I wish someone with actual credentials would do a historical series unpacking the history of the era the book is focused on.
Reporting to you from the other side of the rag, Glickman crushed it. it also seems I may have gotten the year wrong, the label on the LP says 1978 but I assume it must be the year of reissue as Stokowski died in 77. He was active til the end but was exclusive with Columbia beginning 76.

Listening to a 1978 recording of Histoire du Soldat conducted by stokowski, probably one of my all time favorite pieces and if you’re a bassoonist incredibly fun to play (and wickedly hard!). Loren Glickman is crushing it on this record-although I haven’t gotten to the ragtime yet…
I say we rename Beethoven’s Große Fugue as one of the following
Beethoven’s Fat Ass Fugue
Big ‘n’ Juicy Fugue
Oh that fugue? She thicc.
Gyat-DAMN that fugue!
Dat fugue doe
Big Ol’ Fugue
Who’s with me!?
Some more images from inside the included brochure, I’m definitely going to have to track down this exclusive binder to store all the included composer biographies in
Have you always wanted to Capture the sounds of great music? Well now thanks to Funk and Wagnalls Family Library of Great Music, you can!
I love finding things like this, especially ones with all the parts but I hate how tempted I am to track down all 24! More details in the alt texts
