they make videos and say "check out my latest video" and "i have a video coming about that". yeah.. i've heard bits of their music and it's usually awful. like just so basic it hurts. they're experts at knowing what is available and how to hook things up and that's mostly what they're interested in doing. but whatever.. people hanging out in their home studios stuffed with gear noodling isn't the worst life i can imagine but i guess it only works as long as the algorithm doesn't shit on them. there's a couple who are good if you're researching gear and don't have access to a store and don't feel like reading a manual etc. sometimes they'll go through the gear pretty deeply and offer criticisms or "this is cool" etc. but, it's become a weird ecosystem that feeds on itself. the recent hysteria over the plug in that baby audio made with andrew huang is a good example. so many of these gear daw plug in channels just went balls deep on it with all the praise and "best plug in ever". it was everywhere for a minute. i find the alias/artist names used to be pretty funny. "hi it's me bob.. aka hypertechaliendrops.. back with another video".. but it seems it's all as important as ever for the gear/software industry and is essential marketing. people are getting paid.

is she running for president? don't get me wrong.. it'd be hilarious to watch trump debate random people (from his prison cell) over whatever bullshit is going on in his brain..

yeah.. there's options here too and i don't buy nestle anything because they're dicks about everything.. water mostly but not limited to water.

somehow i got banned but this shit is everywhere. elon doing a bang up job in the nazi transition of twitter -> X -> shitler

happens all the time.. some time in a kind of catastrophic way. in the 90s Orange County, CA had some issues because they invested in junk bonds or something.. lot's of other people did too and when it collapsed they lost all their money. some pension funds were in it too.

Henry Cow. i thought he was saying henry cowl but it's henry cow. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Henry_Cow

it's interesting.. but, thinking about being in my 20s and discovering things like noam chomsky and good investigative journalism and all the stories about 800,000 people arrested every year for simple weed possession etc.. and then being like 40 and thinking "JFC we're still doing all this shit".. and then finally seeing weed become legal in many states in the USA and thinking we're finally getting there and federally we'll have a law to make it legal in the whole country.. then reading stories about states doing dumb shit and pushing things in the other direction... ugh.. or seeing the obvious necessity of good public transportation and well funded schools or seeing some backwards fucked up shit somewhere and seeing how much it harms people daily and is corrosive to the good ol USA and wondering when the fuck are people gonna get it together and make pragmatic solutions to problems that make society so much better.. instead of punishing people by privatizing more and more things... ugh.. and i think.. i hope we're all on the same page about all the things a reasonable non-fear based non-wacko religion based culture/society would do and i hope it's better sooner rather than later.. but then we see people rolling coal with huge flags on their stupid truck because small pp and it just screams of an ingrained dogmatic stubborn stupidity in so many hearts and minds in this country that i don't know wtf it's going to be like for future generations.. . that's a jumbled up mess but i hope the vibe of it came across. i thought, by now, as a country/culture, we'd have a figured out a lot more already and gotten our shit together. it's strange that fear of fascism is a very real mainstream thing here.. and that people/the media try to normalize/both sides actual fucking nazis

did you all hear that the climate change lobby and green energy people are the new THEY? they're out to get your tax money and control the world with the end goal of making the air breathable and the water drinkable! how long have they been in control?????? [looks around at... everything]

GREedy naSa playInG the GoveRNmenT lIKe a FiDDLe To GeT ALL thoSe tAx DOLLARS! IsN'T iT ObVioUs? [looks at military budget] and don't forget about the god damned solar panel and wind turbine industries with their hands out looking for subsidies and a big payday [looks at 100 years of fossil fuel industry subsidies and road/hwy construction all over the USA]

P Diddy being a real one and giving the artists on his label their publishing rights back instead of selling the catalog for reported 9 figure sum. crazy that artists don't own that shit by default. https://finance.yahoo.com/news/sean-diddy-combs-declines-9-173202475.html

what's it like inside the Black Lodge?

you mean the oil companies? which parasites are sucking up all our tax dollars?

yes, there were northern temperate forests... that's not a refutation of climate change/global warming. i found this episode of NOVA to be really interesting. might require a VPN for some people but is free to stream. Following a trail of fossils found in all the wrong places–beech trees in Antarctica, redwoods and hippo-like mammals in the Arctic–NOVA uncovers the bizarre history of the poles, from miles-thick ice sheets to warm polar forests teeming with life. https://watch.opb.org/video/polar-extremes-mfaum5/

it's all for shits and giggles. including my replies.

i get about 30 miles per burrito on my bike.

Yeah. Idk. Still doesn’t make sense. None of those things are mutually exclusive. Also, sometimes a person might staple their dick directly to their asshole. also, very male centric. But it’s all subjective. Some people do have staple fetishes and I’m not here to judge someone’s fetish. “primary driver” is to create… for reasons. I hate the “if you had to choose” questions. It’s like those people on the autechre subreddit asking people to choose an autechre record. No one has to choose. It’s a made up universe we don’t exist in.

this seems completely arbitrary. who says what happens looking outward or inward? ^^^ this shit makes no sense to me. where did you even get this shit from?

bill gates has bought a lot of farm land. read something about that a while ago. i forget the details.

liver failure. that sucks.

you can probably get virtual midi ports to show up in max/bitwig but i've never tried. might need blackhole also for routing audio. what you trying to do with bitwig/max? max is pretty great all by itself. so is bitwig w/the grid.
