If I were Netflix I'd make a separate "Stranger Things Secret Finale" item and have it be "Wake Up Dead Man" or something.

It's great that Nashville is getting a ton of new sandwich places, but the fact that each and every one of them closes at like 4pm suuuuucks. Sometimes I want a sandwich for dinner!

Larissa Maestro - Rotation

1 Comment
Larissa Maestro is absurdly talented. They are a multi-instrumentalist that has played with a very long list of musicians you have definitely heard of. They're a composer, arranger, Star Trek enthusiast. Oh, and they perform in a 90's tribute band called My So-Called Band. That's nowhere near the full list of achievements but it's enough context to tell you that Maestro has a deep well of talent.

"Rotation" is their latest release - a piece written for a quartet that was inspired by the tornados that ravaged parts of Nashville. This visualizer is an excellent pairing to the music but, truly, all you need to do is listen. It's 7 and a half minutes and quite sublime. You can pick up the track over on Bandcamp.

Having worked with Larissa on a couple things over the years, I can confirm they're ridiculously talented.

We’re Off to See the Boss Class

1 Share
"The greatest trick the boss class ever pulled," says Girl, "was making management its own area of study - creating a class of people whose only BUSINESS is BUSINESS." Cat runs up behind her on the yellow brick road as she remains engrossed in her own thoughts. "And if there's no skill-based barrier to entry in this elite then their in-group social cohesion becomes paramount to maintaining their privilege." "The second greatest trick was to cast a boss class as inevitable," says Cat. "They HAVE to cover for each other," Girl says, "it's the only skill they have!" "So the question is why them," says Cat. "The third greatest trick" says Girl. "-instead of why ANYONE" says Cat. Giel pauses, sad and ashamed. "They got my nose," she says. "They could be pulling coins out of our ears!" Says Cat.

Sony HAD a stablecoin, called Playstation Stars Points, and they did away with it last year, so those points, like all cryptocurrency eventually, are effectively worthless
