What I'm listening to today: "Tonverk 1.1.0 - Mas Grainer / Boom Bap + Granular Synthesis", SNDCTRL

Elektron are the kings of DAWless/desktop sequencing, but they've never made a polyphonic unit until the Tonverk this year. If the YouTube synth community is any guide this landed with a wet thud, until they added a granular synth in an update and now everybody loves it. Here a net producer tries the new mode on some experimental hip hop and hits gold on the first try

What I'm listening to today: "Untitled", Berlin Dub Sessions

Dub techno uses the sonic palette of dub reggae to make something different, and this uses the sonic palette of dub techno to make something… surprising, a series of musical riddles, dense rhythms that overtake and trip over themselves. One for the crowd that likes minimal techno and listening to dance music on headphones. Turn up the bass.

From 2003.

漱石の悪口言ってたのは坂口安吾だったかも。古い道徳に拘泥って悩んでるだけとかなんとか。その古い道徳というのはいまの言葉でいえば家父長制のことだと思う。まあ太宰とか坂口とか、ある世代の作家がとくに戦後すぐ頃に、武者小路実篤とか志賀直哉とか上の世代の白樺派に噛み付いていたのは、彼らの考える個人の自由が家父長制の内部からでてきたものだったからで、それに対抗するには家父長制の外部としての女性、とくに恋をして家庭を形成しない女性というモデルが必要だったんだとおもう。

このへんだな、たぶん。 https://www.aozora.gr.jp/cards/001095/files/42901_23096.html 安吾は漱石と島崎藤村をディスっているけど、いかに彼らが封建的な家にとらわれていて、家から自由な自己を見出す努力をしていないかという批判をしている。こうしたテキストが敗戦からすぐでてくるのも、家制度というものの束縛がいかに強かったかということだし、敗戦が家・ジェンダーの制度を一時的に崩してしまったからだとおもう。「こころ」の「先生」がなぜ離婚を考えるという発想がなくていきなり自殺するのかという疑問はたしかになと思う。「家」制度の外部がないからだよね。

Two years ago, today

I was feeling better and no longer had a fever, but I didn't have much energy. My wife didn't have a fever at that moment, but she had zero energy. It was Christmas Day and we were alone as we didn't want to infect our parents.

We decided to take a short drive to the Po River to relax, without getting out of the car. I took this photo as a memory of that moment.

By 27th December, I would have a 'brain fog' and dizziness. She had a cough that lasted for a long time. We decided to take a test. I was negative, but I had gotten sick earlier. She was positive. It was our first time having Covid.

Peaceful view of the Po River at sunset, with the low sun softened by mist, bare winter trees silhouetted along the riverbank, and golden reflections spreading across the calm water.

Christmas day has been amazing so far, for me it's about seeing my family all happy, me and my wife seeing our boys all get along and being great bros.
Reminds me of me and me and my brother 40 years ago playing games together, nothing beats playing a good game together! 😘♥️😊

Today in Labor History December 25, 1831: The Great Jamaican Slave Revolt, the largest slave uprising in the British West Indies, began on this date. Samuel Sharpe, a black Baptist deacon, led the revolt of 60,000 enslaved people. The 11-day uprising began as a General Strike, but quickly turned violent. 14 whites and 207 enslaved black people died in the siege. However, another 340 rebels were executed afterward. The rebels had been inspired by the abolitionist movement in London and had intended to call for a peaceful uprising. The rebellion was depicted in Andrea Levy's 2010 novel, “The Long Song,” and in Herbert de Lisser’s The 1929 novel “The White Witch of Rosehall.”

Russian outlet Kommersant claims the US discussed using the Zaporizhzhia Nuclear Power Plant for crypto mining and joint control without Ukraine, allegedly with Putin’s knowledge.

If true, it fits Trump’s playbook perfectly: profit over principles, deals over sovereignty, money made on anyone’s back. Morals do not apply.

Would it be possible to make an extension like uBlock/adblock but for shitty LLM blogs?
I was curious about where do wild cats sleep in winter, and legit cannot find the answer thanks to this shit.

There should be a community-curated shitlist, that puts a red dot on search results so you know which ones to avoid. better yet if there is an option to filter it out at the search engine level.

Anyway, if that does not exist I can put a bounty for someone smarter than me to make it.

Happy 1. Weihnachtsfeiertag!

Wir haben damit zwar immer noch nix am Hut, sind aber weiterhin Freunde der Idee des guten Essens.

Es gibt e Rouladen aus selbstgemachtem Seitan (treue Leser erinnern sich), dazu Kartoffelbrei und Rotkraut, getoppt mit einer laaange einreduzierten Sauce und übrigen Speckwürfeln aus Räuchertofu. Die Rouladen sind klassisch mit Senf, Gürkchen, Zwiebeln und "Speck" gefüllt. Gudn!

Zwei große Teller mit je zwei Rouladen, Kartoffelbrei und Rotkraut, auf dem Brei liegen Würfel aus Räuchertofu und auf allem Petersilie
