A Life Of Purpose.

INFP/ENFP I have interests in radio, African and Balkan music, food, art, geography, esoteric topics, and learning about myself. Becoming a well-rounded individual in health, spirit, body, and mind is my chief goal in life. I know a little bit about many things and am always on a quest to learn more.

honestly even the highest concept sci-fi seems tame once you learn BioSteel™ Goats exist irl

[zenithreach]

What the fuck are you talking about

[biggest-gaudiest-poltergeist]

you know. the spider goats. the goats spliced with spider genes.

[biggest-gaudiest-poltergeist]

they shoot bulletproof webbing out of their udders!

[biggest-gaudiest-poltergeist]

ok ok that last part’s not technically true, but the truth is still pretty nifty:

yes these goats really exist! in most ways they are normal goats, except for how they secrete spider silk in their milk

(or rather, they secrete a special protein in their milk, which is then extracted and woven into silk fibers)

their DNA contains transplanted genes taken from the Golden Orb Weaver Spider, whose silk is incredibly strong–but can’t be naturally produced in large quantities. because…spiders are tiny ya’ll.

these superpowered web-slinging spidergoats genetically modified but otherwise normal and healthy goats can produce much larger amounts of this material (marketed as BioSteel), which is stronger than steel and more bulletproof than kevlar. plus it’s lightweight, elastic, and bio-compatible (compatible with living tissue), meaning it has a ton of potential industrial and medical applications.

(imagine 40 years from now you need knee surgery, and your doctor sits you down and explains that your shiny new anterior cruciate ligament was actually artificially woven out of SPIDER GOAT MILK SILK. also in this magical hypothetical future we have universal healthcare. and the wealth of all billionaires has been globally redistributed. this is my hypothetical scenario, i do what i want.)

like i said. pretty nifty!

and here is a photo of one such genetically modified BioSteel™ Goat, her name is Freckles

May I add the fantastic glow in the dark cats. They’ve been tagged with a gene from jelly fish that causes them to glow and that can be passed down. Was used to help study how other genes were passed.

[biggest-gaudiest-poltergeist]

for those wondering, yes glow-in-the-dark jellyfish cats are a real thing and they are helping scientists with AIDS research

[ellendd]

I love how this reads as if the cats are actively choosing to assist with scientific research.

Liszt - Nuages gris (1881)

At the end of his life, Liszt was still composing and bringing his style toward music that was more concentrated and austere. The bravado is gone. Instead there are several reflections on death. More than his own death, it seems that Liszt prophesied the death of tonality itself where there is no relief from harmonic stability; free chromaticism held together as diminished chords without a resolution and built on small motives. 'Grey Clouds' is as dreary as the name suggests and is put together with minimalistic ideas and based on the Hungarian "gypsy" scale. The main theme is of six notes in two groups of three; a fourth and a tritone, then a g minor chord. The same melody is repeated over a trembling Bb (the third of g minor). The tremolo growl shifts a semitone down and back again, the minor third and its augmentation. Over it, an inverted eb minor triad, which descends chromatically over each repetition of the tremolo ostinato. It 'resolves' with the tritone again in the bass. Even though g minor was hinted at, this section ends ambiguously. We then get a slight variation of the theme at the bottom register of the keyboard that feels like a droning echo of bells. The main theme comes back as the accompaniment to a simple 'counter subject'. That leads to another chromatic crawl, going upwards this time, while the tremolo bass is turned into an accompaniment combining the Bb - A shift with the 'ambiguous' chords moving downward, broken up into a swaying rhythm. Bass repeats, the chords move down, while the octaves move up. Instead of a clear resolution, we end with more ambiguity. The slowness, softness, and 'dissonance' of the piece are evocative of the grey clouds that pass over every autumn, another reminder of death and decay, as the passionate harmonies of the 19th century also 'decay' into more free chromaticism and the eventual 'liberation' of pitches.
