Fullmetal Alchemist: Brotherhood has such wonderful music.....except for every opening or closing credit theme.
Differentiable is an inherently funny word.

It's really nice to know that the answer to "WHAT IS THAT SOUND?!" can be something as mundane as a piano and an electronic faux-pipe organ playing in unison.
Here is fantastic musician Richard Harvey dissecting what is probably his most oft-heard work (the background music for a Sesame Street segment on the making of crayons.) He goes through the multiple tracks of the recording and explains what each one is and how they fit together.

Is one of the reasons I am completely against attempts to try and get payment processors to cut off service to various people, groups, or industries. It is, as far as I am concerned, simply not a thing payment processors should be legally allowed to do.
I’m sick to death of people being precious about #GMO produce. Functionally there is no difference between a grape bred to have little or no seed and a grape that has been modified in a lab for the same thing. Y’all are just scared of science.
You wanna talk about #Monsanto charging for “licenses” for their crops, ok. Talk about agribusiness killing the planet, ok. Talk about corporations copyrighting genetic code, ok. These are all valid concerns.
But the science is sound.
I really like the way the Teamsters are refusing to throw younger workers under a bus. Other unions going along with that sort of thing both in the US and Europe (I've read that Italy has an effectively two-tier system where unionized, full-time, older employees effectively sell out younger contract workers with no security and fewer benefits) had made me a bit skeptical as to whether unions were still of much use nowadays, and I'm happy to see that they can be.
One of the downsides of drinking cold-brew is that it takes quite a bit longer than warm brew.
I'm occasionally tempted pour my brewing pitcher out into a serving pitcher and refill the brewing one so by the time I finish one, the other is ready.
On the other hand I'm probably better off not drinking several half-gallons of tea.
Gosh darn it, I bought a jar of ultramarine fountain pen ink and now I can't find it.
This, combined with the other two songs that are just variants of it, is probably my favorite bit of music from Neon Genesis Evangelion.

It really does capture the feeling of a /large and disquieting creature/ moving around.

I bought this a while ago and it just came on random play. It's one of the best new progressive albums I've heard. And it's /weird/. The opening song goes straight from synthphonic into DISCO METAL. And then it does a bunch of other stuff all throughout the rest of the disc.
Ignore the cover. The cover is awful. But give the music a listen.
(They sell FLACs for name-your-price on Bandcamp if you decide you like it.)
Also have I mentioned how much I like white teas grown in India? Assam silver needle and similar are /fantastic/. They have a very pronounced muscatel, like a spicy, almost dry scent floating on top and perfuming everything while being very light and non-astringent and sweet. (No, not sweet the way sugar is sweet, sweet the way tea is sweet.)
Also, I feel /very/ fox today. I don't know why. Maybe because I've been programming a lot lately in my free time and getting my learn on and generally living the conviction that the world is a wonderful thing full of /fantastic/ stuff to figure out.
(Though now I have to take a good look at Plume and decide whether continuing OtherSky is worthwhile or whether I should just join their project. They're at least using a language I'm interested in coding in and not node.js or Python or something.)
Something to work on after I finish my current ActivityPub project :)
I make a habit of following a few twitter accounts in my RSS reader. One thing I really hate about most organizational accounts is the way they post THE SAME THINGS repeatedly several times a day.
Then again that's probably because I'm reading it in an RSS reader instead of having it scroll by in a giant timeline.
Though I really would prefer a Mastodon interface that was more RSS flavored than 'timeline' flavored. (A feed for everyone you follow, with things being marked read or not.)
