Well I for one am completely shocked that so many passionate advocates of "protecting children" are strangely silent about our nation's most powerful oligarchs once again being implicated in abhorrent child sex crimes
Sure is weird how this keeps happening!
I’m sorry, but it is disgraceful to be an academic who uses this technology to conduct research. It should be prohibited in all of our scholarly institutions, including universities and journals.
"What's to day, my fine fellow!" said Scrooge.
"Today!" replied the boy. "Why, LOWTAX DAY'"
"It's lowtax Day!" said Scrooge to himself. "I haven't missed it."

UNTIL IT’S DONE, Ep. 4: Sylvia Rivera
In the 1970s, queer New Yorkers had been pushed to the margins of NYC. Our trans neighbors faced immense cruelty. But in Sylvia Rivera, they found a champion.
As we combat Trump’s politics of darkness, her legacy can light the path forward.
This is the most damning indictment of white evangelical Christians. And before everyone comes after me saying ‘not all’ tell me what you’re doing to counter the absolute moral rot this represents
So America:
>deleted our friendships and alliances
>institute ridiculous tariffs, ruining relationships domestically and intentionally
>went back on tariffs
>still has nothing to show for it
Great!
I really hope it wasn't CO who did this because they seem like wonderful people. If it was Paradox, then this isn't the first I've heard of generative AI creeping in on stuff they put out in marketing.
Regardless, this is horrible and I'm sorry that your hard work is being represented this way.
Me: "I'm thinking about dropping out and joining Charlie Puth's masterclass. I think I can get everything I need from that."
My composition pedagogy class:
Important to add: the Chairman has never been fired, least of all of for actually racist reasons (literally just because he's black), and replaced with a white sycophant who is not only retired, but all not even of the appropriate rank. This is BAD.
Please please PLEASE anyone seeing this understand the magnitude of this. The Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff is the highest ranked military officer in the entire US armored forces, and – crucially – has never been fired before.
This is completely unbelievable and a huge problem.
They got me writing SO MUCH MUSIC AND I'M LOSING MY MIND
(this is a good problem to have)
Hey Donald Trump: in no short order, fuck you.

I'm actually really tired of "the law" being used as an excuse for why we haven't done anything yet
The United States is under attack. Elon Musk—who has been elected to nothing and is a deeply troubled person—is literally destroying our government from the inside and doing so without authority or consent of the governed. Working on a report on this right now. It’s an emergency.
I go back and forth with this piece. See, it's so raw and awesome. But I'm also like "this track uses nearly 100% of my tropes as a composer", and I just don't know if I'm biased because of that...
I have been chosen
Intelligence officials are starting to leak to me now too. Here’s a memo Defense Intelligence Agency personnel received instructing them to suspend observances including:
- Holocaust Remembrance Day
- MLK Day
- Juneteenth
The first 10 days of Trump's administration have been marked by an unprecedented barrage of barbaric policy moves and casual executive depravity.
In many cases, these actions have flown in the face of the law, decades of tradition, and even the Constitution.
You can't run a country like a business, and you especially can't do so with a guy who has multiple failed businesses in charge.
12. Writing companion music to a book/graphic novel
I think it's really cool when those sorts of collaborations occur! Using music to enhance someone's experience of a medium that traditionally doesn't have music is really fulfilling for me
11. Writing a series-defining theme.
You know how like, John Williams wrote the Sunday Night Football theme, and it's just forever associated with the sport? Or Alan Silvestri and the Avengers theme that defines the entire MCU? If I ever did something like that, I would be forever humbled.
10. Collaboration with Yuka Kitamura!
Easily in my top 5 composers ever, even just a conversation with her about her process and thoughts on artistry would be a dream come true.
9. Collaboration with Nobuo Uematsu.
Considering the difference in our age, it is unlikely. But that dude changed my life with his music, and I owe so much to him. If I could ever working on a piece of music with him, that would be ultimate career fulfillment.
After @haydnpuff.bsky.social had her tremendous work for organ, "A Most Perfect Blue" premiered by @lucielorganiste.bsky.social back in 2023, I knew I had to dive in at some point.
