  1. yeah i know what you mean. and before syro, analord digital, and before that, the tuss, and before that, drukqs. still though, you can't compare come to daddy with universal indicator. they're different things, but both great. the description has it as a "collection" though, so i guess it's officially classified as not an "album" for my purposes though its a great thing in the catalog
  2. quite the spoils. stone in focus and gak digital alone is huge. london ranks as a solid album for me. the new rushup edge is unbelievable. then there's the korgs, atlantis, a bunch new old tracks, the tunings tracks, a bunch of mastered sc tracks. thanks aphex!
  3. now the vinyl rip sound is removed and the full tracklist is accepted by my mind its dawning on me that this is the new aphex album and i like it then again i guess its a post-album world so idfk, but, cool
  4. real glad we got field day in digital em2500 m253x (aka a5) - someone said this was repeatedly reamped. does that mean its like an experiment with tracking bird takes?
  5. 1953 ussr starts testing hydrogen bomb 1954 us icbm program given high priority 1957 ussr tests their first icbm. sputnik placed in space later that year 1958 first full range us icbm test 1959 us deploys titan and atlas icbms. ussr deploys r-7a later that year 1961 kennedy announces goal to put a guy on the moon. apollo program begins. its not like they wanted to put nukes on the moon or anything
  6. the choice between putting the fate of the world in the hands of a wildly unstable person or a koch puppet... difficult...
  7. they have had enough to impeach since day 1. the flagrant violations of the emoluments clause are solid grounds. impeachment is done by congress and the republicans are disinclined. perhaps he is taking the heat off of them. in 2008 the republicans were on the ropes, having lost the majorities and the presidency, and obama was poised to save the global economy from the looming depression their deregulation caused. they had 1 play: go all in on demonizing obama and stigmatizing the democrats like their lives depended on it. this strategy was explicitly arrived at as a group decision after the '08 elections, as detailed in this pbs documentary. 8 years later, they are fucked in control because the light falls on their policies and they have no one to point at. the failure of repeal and replace is a plain example
  8. juno just completed perijove 7, passing over the great spot at 9,000 km altitude with junocam active. images released friday, i think
  9. Donald Trump's Presidential Advisory Commission on Election Integrity asked for sensitive data on all voters from all states - names, birthdays, the last four digits of their Social Security numbers and their voting history dating back to 2006 the states almost unanimously said fuck no the American Civil Liberties Union sued the trump's election integrity commission and now the trump election panel has said nevermind about that data
  10. the thing about collusion is that it is very hard to prove. if wapo thinks junior taking info from a russian is "breathtaking," that doesn't make it collusion. proving collusion means evidence that trump helped the russians fuck with the US. how are they going to prove that? as much as i think trump is in with the russians and a fucking traitor, i have doubts about whether collusion will proved.
  11. holy shit, marf. i'm sorry to hear about that. stay strong. in 2 months it will be 2 months from now. one day at a time. yeah, 17 episodes. good luck. feel better.
  12. anyone see spiderman? ive been enjoying the marvel studios stuff, especially lately. they're getting really good at doing action sequences that don't rely on shaky cam, camera cuts and narrow shots. ms seems to be developing systems for special effects sequences that allow directors to storyboard whatever they want and have it come out good. they do character action with cgi versions of the characters and blend it pretty seemlessly with footage. in the last few movies it stepped up. captain america winter soldier had pretty crap action but civil war was a lot better. but i've always enjoyed decent action sequences and special effects, and i used to like comic books. would like to see them nail venom and carnage. the tobey mcquire venom movie was pretty offensive i'm glad marvel is doing the studios thing, and dumping money rather than doing an cheap cash grab, like other comic book movies.
  13. But they do all day everyday. There so many articles on a daily basis analysing his and the reps policies and their potential consequences. sure, it's out there there's also the undeniable fact that the tv media companies are businesses getting revenue from advertisers, and they gravitate toward the click-bait, lowest-common-denominator stuff its why trump got elected. the media had all the ammo they needed and 1000% more to blow him out of the water last year. they declined to annihilate him because he is a controversy machine that drove their ratings through the roof. and continues to. i am seriously concerned about his prospects for reelection because it's largely in the tv media's hands, and they will have to decide to take an enormous hit in their revenue
