Of COURSE 🤯🤦 we’ve had music way longer than we’ve had PAPER to make NOTES on. But do you think they are really meaning finger pointing “now your 👈bit!.. ok, now your 👉bit”?

Are conductors just finger gunning down the orchestra? 👈🛢️👉

Fun fact: I had to look up the meaning of Counterpoint in a music context. ..it’s about ‘adding one or more parts’, sure, I get counter melody so I’m on board there.. but then ‘BEFORE THE INVENTION OF NOTES the various sounds were expressed by points’ 🤯🤦

Let’s hope (and act so) they all go the way of the concord

🤣 no worries, mate

That’s insane

Someone burned me a CD in 2004 that had Ok Calculator songs but also some Bowie and other things he thought I should be introduced to. So until listening to this episode I had never clocked that what I was listening to by TVotR was music of THAT moment

I’ll be there

Looks like the sky from Tasmania 🖤🤍

I wish TISM had made more of a splash in the US than I presume they did, so you’d do an ep on them, speaking of artists who only perform in masks

Half a dozen out of several strawberry runners have been pegged in place in seedling pots, ready to propagate

Strawberry propagation has begun!

Brainbody should be one thing in the same way that spacetime is accepted to be

I’m on a bus and the person beside me is compulsively talking to himself, but it’s all positive 😍
“Very good” “hmmm” “there we go” “yay”

Fun fact: hyper mobility is likely a risk factor for later acquiring ME/CFS

Today I ordered some fire wood. I had been putting it off because I didn’t know how I would physically manage it. But I found a lady who sold it to me and, after I explained I have ME/CFS, she included taking it around the back and stacking it for me with no extra charge. What a legend.

Make fossil fuel exporters pay for the damage they are causing, not ordinary Australians Climate change is making natural disasters like fires, floods, heatwaves and drought worse, costing Australians billions every year. Make fossil fuel producers pay a climate disaster levy to help pay...

I’ve no doubt you are correct. For me it already adds a cognitive burden having machines suggesting how to finish my sentences, especially when they don’t recognise I’ve already used the preposition.

I guess that’d force me to remember people’s names if that’s the only legal way to refer to someone. Unless ‘old mate’ counts as not a pronoun 😆

This might be the first song you’ve covered that I’ve never heard before. I thought the name Wilco was a cartoon dog. I guess not everything made it to Australia? Or maybe I was washing my hair that year 🤔

Pretty incredible that no other outlet has snapped this up for publication after The Mercury declined it (?!)…. Although that context itself is not irrelevant to how we have ended up in this dire situation.

@harvilla.bsky.social I’m glad you didn’t delete your most egregious dad joke one final time 😁

It can be cringe especially if you don’t know what the connection the two people have to each other. I have used aunt and uncle but when I have a connection to them and asked their view about it. Contextually it’s giving respect. But performatively it’s taking it
