Short-form random stuff that I, ouij, can't seem to put anywhere else. Longer-form stuff will go somewhere else.

DC United are going to find a way to lose a match where they scored 4 goals

A good piece that gets to something that has also been bugging me: all the consumer AI use cases seem unreal and aimed at the 1% https://www.cnet.com/tech/services-and-software/my-first-google-io-was-full-of-mixed-signals/

People who are genuinely happy in their relationships usually don’t post about it on social media. 

Studies show that someone who’s always gushing about their partner on Facebook is tied to how insecure they are in their relationship - while those who are more secure spend time enjoying their relationships instead of trying to convince other people (and themselves) how happy they are.

This is an underrated game. One of the first videogames that managed to take place in “real life,” in that I could navigate the streets of central London without using the game’s HUD arrow

This little groove was interrupted earlier by a power outage. Lots going on: 2 voices each sequenced by one lane of the SQ-1. Bass line stutters by using a gate in the CYCLE input of @makenoisemusic Maths ch4, which modulates cutoff of the Polivoks VCF. Bit crush drums via Malgorithm and volca beats. #modularsynth #synth #modular #eurorack

Modulation madness, with some vowels. @malekkoheavyindustry Oscillator II saw2 out (carrier) phase modulated by @pghmodular Oscillator to build big supersaw, into Barton Waveform animator for more saw, into doepfer A-105 SSM filter being FMd by modulator osc and variable cycle from @makenoisemusic Function. Further randomness from Wogglebug. Envelopes by Maths. #eurorack #synth #modularsynth

Martin Sheen’s President Josiah Bartlet was named the Best Pop Culture President of All Time by Entertainment Weekly

“I think if Martin Sheen ran this year, he would have won in a landslide over Donald Trump and Hillary Clinton. For EW.com, President Bartlet is our supreme leader.” - Christopher Rosen, EW.com Editor

I blame the election of Trump in part on a kind of West Wing solipsism among liberal elites. They retreated from real political life and immersed themselves in West Wing rerun binges. It was a fatal kind of cultural narcissism: they were so beguiled by the fiction that they could not believe that the country would all too easily capitulate to Trump.

My parents worked in an age where your only methods of contact were in person, mail, or maybe a home phone line. Back then, employers would tell you if you were not fit for the job. Now we have email, cell phones, social media, even automated messaging, but they can’t be bothered to tell me anything

Top row of the SQ-1 plays the main 8-step pattern. Bottom row has a 5-step pattern transposing the main pattern. Volca Beats with a simple 16-step pattern. Sounds are all 3-operator phase/freq modulated. The Maths & the Function serve as envelopes. Their rise/fall times are varied by the various outputs of the Wogglebug. Lots of fun here. #eurorack #modularsynth
