Things and Stuff

Here's a quote that I like: “The first and simplest emotion which we discover in the human mind is curiosity.” -Edmund Burke

people seemed to like it when I did tweets by Obi-wan Kenobi, and they surprisingly liked it when I stole accents that don’t belong to me, so here’s a post of tweets in an accent that actually comes from my cultural background

I realise not everyone is around Scottish enough to automatically read these tweets in the accent, so this is a gift honestly

Turns out most videos of this song on youtube are blocked in America, which is absolutely horrible. 

Anyway, here’s Wndrwll.

I hold that this song is the best song across this album and its pre/sequel because everyone has an absolutely visceral response to it from the moment the joke kicks in. Everyone I’ve shown it to has been taken on a musical journey I think they’d really wish they hadnt

remember when lol meant “laughing out loud” instead of “this is to indicate that this brief text isn’t hostile”

[pochowek]

remember when lol meant “this brief text isn’t hostile” instead of “this brief text is in fact horrendously hostile and very passive aggressive”

[allthingslinguistic]

There’s a linguistics paper about lol that explains both of these meanings!

I was an ordinary person who studied hard.

Richard Feynman, theoretical physicist, d. 1988 (via whats-out-there)

Context:

“You ask me if an ordinary person could ever get to be able to imagine these things like I imagine them. Of course! I was an ordinary person who studied hard. There are no miracle people. It happens they get interested in this thing and they learn all this stuff, but they’re just people. There’s no talent, no special ability to understand quantum mechanics, or to imagine electromagnetic fields, that comes without practice and reading and learning and study. I was not born understanding quantum mechanics – I still don’t understand quantum mechanics! I was born not knowing things were made out of atoms, and not being able to visualize, therefore, when I saw the bottle of milk that I was sucking, that it was a dynamic bunch of balls bouncing around. I had to learn that just like anybody else. So if you take an ordinary person who is willing to devote a great deal of time and work and thinking and mathematics, then he’s become a scientist!”

True of art, as well.

it’s completely acceptable to stay alive for tiny reasons. because you want to hear your favorite song one more time. because your dog will miss you if you leave. because the moon is just too pretty to never see again. because you haven’t seen the next season of a really good tv show. because you want to see the christmas lights this year. if you’re alive, you’re doing enough. if you’re surviving, i’m proud of you.
