I feel like a lot of people when they think of classical music think of dainty pieces played on violins that are very pretty. But I don't like that kind of classical. I like big orchestral pieces that are loud and bombastic. Shit you can't learn on the recorder in 4th grade. Shit you're not going to find people playing while clustered around one of those pianos in airports like you see videos of. Shit that requires as minimum a few dozen people to play. That's music right there.

In other news I learned the name of a song I've heard in a couple places and always loved but never knew how to find it. Mars, the Bringer of War is really good.

This shit blows my socks off.

Also! I'm pretty sure this song directly inspired the soundtrack for Total Annihilation, a favorite game from my childhood, the starter of a beloved genre, and a game I have talked about extensively.

Here's the TA soundtrack, for easy comparison. They sound so similar I swear!

Fuck it at this point can y’all actually start supporting indie animation and indie games made by black artists/creators because I’m really getting sick and tired of everyone hyping these racist phase mediocre white people that get 90% of their humor from 2000s newgrounds animations

[tech-obsessed-shark]

For the people asking “How am I supposed to find them?” Look them up, it’s that easy.

Here is an entire youtube playlist by Mannof1000Thoughts with a ton of indie animation videos AND a livestream he did where he watched some with the creators!!!

Pride flag color palette illustration for Skrymer on Kofi

Request: “Hi! I'd like to request a com of my Starfinder character with the pansexual flag colours. She's a Vesk (buff anthro reptile, with a komodo dragon face, and a tail), with mottled scales and spines on her jaw and forehead. She could be circling and trying to eat a small yellow sun (the size of her fist). Thank you <3”

Sometimes you will be a lesbian to your parents and a straight man to your partners parents and a gay man to your partner and a woman to your grandparents and out to your friends and stealth to your classmates and a nice young lady to the cashier at the coffee shop and then people on your computer will ask you to choose which of these identities you ACTUALLY are and which you are Appropriating The Oppression Of because don’t you know they contract each other. You can only be one thing solidly forever

A very elegant crime.

[Benjamin Hanil] Song, the most harshly sentenced Prairieland defendant, having received a 100-year prison term, gave a moving statement in response to their sentence, explaining for the first time the motivations for their actions the night of the noise demonstration at the Prairieland ICE Detention Center. “What we all saw happen to Renee Good and Alex Pretti is my worst nightmare,” said Song. “So, when I was standing in the street on July 4th, 2025, in plain view with reflective safety strips and high visibility clothing, what I saw right in front of my eyes was my worst nightmare,” continued Song. “When I saw Lieutenant Thomas Gross stop pursuing and point his gun at the back of a running, unarmed protester, like he testified, I was terrified.”

“As a firearms instructor and a United States Marine Corps Veteran, I understood what I was seeing. I knew what it meant for someone to lean forward into a gun, […] to prepare for recoil. As the evidence shows, I did not want to hurt anyone. I never had the intent to hurt anyone. It is impossible to say that I was trying to ambush or anyone or planning violence,” Song told the court. “I am so grateful that we are not here mourning another death and tragedy. Another Alex Pretti. Another Renee Good.”

I love when you recognize junji ito’s style and you read on not knowing if it’s going to be horrific or just cute cat stuff

we're moving to an internet where children would be banned from reaching out for help and friendship online but abusive parents can post their children's every second online to humiliate and expose them for money with no pushback

Reasons for hope: Lots of amazing people did a ton of work to make this fantastic, fully interactive resource available - because no matter how bleak things seem, there are millions, and millions of people doing everything they can to protect both the world and their own communities.

You can use this to view and subscribe to updates, project statuses, and for at least some of them even whole dossiers. This is an amazing resource, I highly recommend checking it out

[headspace-hotel]

IDK about other places, but a ton of cities in Kentucky have preemptively banned data centers from being built

This is really the one issue that unites people on all sides of the political spectrum.
