"Emotions are contagious both in person and online. Spending time with people who are open-minded and reflective can shape how we respond to uncertainty, just as environments dominated by fear can amplify it."
your third moment of calm

Reminds me of these lyrics 'in the age of superboredom, hype, and mediocrity- - celebrate relentlessness menace to society
Some of the most brilliant people that I know of are admired for their realism and resilience to overcome tragedy, both personal and shared.
It is an incredible effort to move from victim to survivor. That rarity, and the ability to persevere against the entire world is heroic AF.
Negativity bias keeps us alive – but in modern life it can lead us to overestimate threat and underestimate opportunity.
I really admire people that can maintain psychological clarity without falling into either the rut of ceaseless pessimism, and can also notice delusional optimism.
Aughra is a central, wise, and eccentric character in Jim Henson’s The Dark Crystal. She acts as the embodiment of the planet Thra itself. Known as "Mother Aughra," she is a small, three-eyed, horned, and often sassy creature who acts as the keeper of secrets and guardian of the world. She is a sentient, ancient being created by the world (rocks and trees) to be its eye and conscience, serving as a nature-god-like figure. She is small with goat-like horns, one detachable eye, and sometimes a third eye for peering into the cosmos. Every character in the movie has a full backstory like this, I recommend a deep dive and treating a watch of this to be in a similar headspace you might adopt to watch The Bible movie, it's an epic allegory like that.
Here is a doodle I made with nothing in mine. I simply start with a line, and add another until the shape is familiar, similar to how people watch the clouds on a nice day. Drawn with a gel-tip pen, a character with a similarly obtuse head shape and brow line to Aughra the mystic emerges from a background of differently sized circles, crowded into the background.
This is Aughra, the seer and mystic from 'The Dark Crystal'. I remember the scene in her planetarium, and thinking "this is real, this is how the world tells the future" when I was like 10 years old.
On the right is Scrutiny, perhaps a descendent. Made like watching the clouds, decades between.
Today feels like this fits - smooshy. Stuff i'm working on for the next one is not like this at all though (and i'm getting on pretty well with that too after throwing a bunch of stuff at the daw).

Hey glad to see your reply here - i've had a long weekend. Just checking your personal pick for a good one. I can hear a lot of cool stuff happening in your pick, really like the solid bass and strong beat.
For me? It changes pretty often, sometimes triggered by someone saying they like it.
Personal favorite then? in my own work, I'm a bit gentle on myself and think almost all my releases have at least one great track. My favorite tends to be my newest, usually takes a year after release to realize that tho
the futur is meow
My Shih Tzu was caught using chatGPT today to try and get some reasonable replies for when i ask her why she doesn't ever rub my belly, even when i mirror what she does exactly (walk up with my waggy wagging, throws mtself at her feet with belly up, while tail continues to wag at incredible speeds)

Hardware (Scifi/horror, 1990, seen in theater w/ dad). I knew about Terminator at 9.
I saw something that made me ask about seeing Hardware. Nobody recalls whether it had daytime commercials on tv.
Made me a lifetime Ministry, Iggy Pop, and homicidal robot aficionado. Only in America?

done, excellent focus - i had never heard of this before now
The Wetland Project has been my favorite alternate-reality radio experience since it began. Since it only happens once a year, you can’t become accustomed to it. Close your eyes and be washed over by the sonic reality of an isolated bog on Saturna Island!
Brain Junk is great! I need to hear all the newer ones still
Obscure Irish indie musician here, making danceable rock somewhere between NIN, LCD Soundsystem and Primal Scream with a gothic Brian Jonestown Massacre edge.

Who do I know, or who is reading this who is making #art in #VR?
Wondering if I know anybody adept enough at it to talk a little about their favorite tools/environments/workflows.
I'm not 100% green but maybe born last week, so to speak. Most experience w/ Tilt Brush and now learning #Substance3D
Every major #shift in human history—from the scientific revolution to the dismantling of empires—started with a few people being "uncomfortable" enough to stop accepting the illusion of permanence or that systemic pain is inevitable.
#Start by realizing we have always been complicit.
"Unitary Executive Theory" is one of the worst aspects to our government, and should be illegal. I'd love to hear that on NBC.
this brings clarity to the feels that i'm surrounded by forces that wish they could just use my long-decayed remains as fuel for their new ridiculously inefficient mode of transportation.
If your dreams became routine, memorable and persistant at the same time, i imagine your internal calculus and perception of what is real would flip the waking world to be the less reliable one.
Which is more honest, your eyes or your ears?
Yoda's granmar sucks. "For eight hundred years have I trained Jedi" ??? it should be "For eight hundred years have I trained Jedme"
Last month in The Onion:
Ever play the old Xbox game 'Fable'?
In the game, if you play an asshole, are greedy, pernicious & self serving, you look evil. The opposite does what you'd expect too.
I apply this when I look at our elected leaders. Not as "the rule" but I notice it lines up pretty often. The topline of a dive.
Panko is a silly word
