@musicologyduck.bsky.social
They asked how they could Venmo me and someone probably tried to dm them as me to take them up on that
ugh, yeah, this is not me. Block and report.
Hi. @musicologyduckk.bsky.social is an impersonation of @musicologyduck.bsky.social and it's probably trying to scam @triplingual.bsky.social via DM. Please be careful.
i really think after another year of AI trashing everything there's going to be a sudden uptick in "artisanal content" that is created and vetted by humans, but it will cost exponentially more than before LLMs
i didn't even finish the glass and can still feel it several hours later lol
it might be interesting because I took myself out to dinner and did not expect this big of a pour and my tolerance is really low right now lol
the glories of living car-free mean I can embarrass myself plenty but am rarely lethal!
but yeah, I’m starting to regret some things I published as Cc. It seemed like a good idea at the time ☹️
I just started in USCO weeks ago and I am literally going to ask tomorrow what happens if a deposit with Creative Commons licensing on it comes in…I never even thought about this

going to an AMS event tonight to learn how to spot all the local musicologists
lol might be harder for me to pull off in an apartment building but I can’t wait to see what some of the neighbors in row houses do
anyway I live in viewing distance from the way the justices drive into their building and am good at making signs
if nothing else I’m going to use Bluesky to find the Venn diagram of Bewitched fans slash Supreme Court watchers
SAMUEL! SAMUEL! THEY’RE DOING IT AGAIN!
IT came in and installed new monitors that I didn’t ask for while I was in class this afternoon and now the display settings are so f’d I can’t do anything so I guess I’m just gonna sit here until clock-out time
the adrenaline from getting through moving stuff over the weekend finally wore off and I just slept for like 13 hours lol
oh man one time when I worked for an ill-advised celebrity-run nonprofit, some of my friends worked for this guy's even more ill-advised celebrity-run nonprofit in the same industry....and i feel confident in saying he is patently insane and truly awful variety.com/2024/film/ne...

variety.comi swear some people on this social media site do not think i am an adult with a lifetime of experience and a functioning brain
in fairness to me part of it is from calculating the costs of caring for an aging parent with no savings lol
milkshake worm
everybody loves the worm that controls rfk jr’s mind
update
we regret to inform you that the worm is a racist www.washingtonpost.com/politics/202...
RFK Jr. had a ‘visceral’ reaction to tear-downs of Confederate statues
Independent presidential candidate Robert F. Kennedy Jr. said on a podcast that he doesn’t think “it’s a good, healthy thing for any culture to erase history.”
www.washingtonpost.comI’m so glad you’re on the other side of that now. What a hot mess
BOOK ELVIS
there are multiple very good reasons this book is unnecessary in 2024, among them, that Black people write about their experiences as Black people all the fucking time and we don't need Book Elvis to cover it for us
I regret to inform you that I am seriously considering part-time law school
also a number of telework agreements are negotiated with employee unions—mine is. lol I can’t stop thinking about how dumb this is.
somewhere I have a pic of him on the phone in a random cubicle that maybe I will find whenever I unpack
Awww….Bill Walton used to just come hang out at my office sometimes and answer my coworker’s phone just for fun. Super nice guy!
Breaking news: Hall of Fame center Bill Walton, who won two NCAA championships at UCLA and two NBA championships before becoming a quirky broadcaster in retirement, died Monday following a battle with cancer. He was 71.
Hall of Fame center Bill Walton dies after cancer battle
After stellar college and NBA careers, Bill Walton went on to become a memorable color commentator for NCAA and NBA games.
www.washingtonpost.comit literally has to be the worst acoustics for music on the entire planet
I think it’s so funny that they program chamber musicians to play in the main hall area of Union Station, which is so echo-y the resulting sounds don’t even register as music
also they’d force a bunch of people to move back to DC and have to up their pay to meet locality requirements. Just wondering how far they thought this one through or if it’s just for show
literally half my department would retire or quit and I’m sure Congress would be thrilled with the backlog that would result since it takes a year to train new employees
amongst so many candidates for the dumbest shit I ever saw, this is the dumbest

also change dot org and all of them are just there to get your data for marketing and whatever.
there's just no process to give that kind of consideration to 3rd party petitions, and it would be difficult to come up with one. The comments process isn't that well publicized, but thanks to a few people like John Oliver it does get out there on big issues like net neutrality or AI.
seeing some Discourse on here today about it, but my agency just got 5,000+ comments on one issue from all kinds of people (not just professionals or lobbyists) and presented to the whole staff about the analysis of the feedback.
Federal agencies HAVE to consider public comment on items in the federal register as part of the process of making agency rules (which differs from US code). There's not a lot of procedure for including other types of public input. But people really do do it! It's not that difficult or impossible!
I’ve had NOAA friends tell me that they take 5 individually written comments more seriously than 5,000 signatures on a goofy ass online petition from change dot org
i have family in driving distance again! my nieces (ages 2, 6, and 9) just performed basically the entirety of Matilda the musical for me and added combat scences. (The toddler already knows how to say "en garde")

THE STORMLIGHT ARCHIVE® SERIES
This post originally appeared on Tor.com. I’ve been asked to introduce The Way Of Kings to you. And I have no idea how to start. This is an odd position for ...
www.brandonsanderson.comalthough even 30+ hours in it’s becoming clear that “plot” is not what this series is about
actually amazed I’m still working on this book
my current status with how long moving, packing, driving etc are taking: I downloaded a 45-hour-long audiobook that still doesn’t really make sense or have a plot 6 hours in, and we’re sticking with it and will probably finish it before the due date in 10 days
amazing what not having to carry everything a quarter mile does
lol after loading the van took 14 hours, unloading it took 35 minutes
which i'm sure will make unpacking tomorrow very fun. (i've already secured a couple of people to make this easier, but I will be very surprised if I can stand up in the morning.)
i didnt have a step tracker on me, but my legs are telling me it's similar to the two marathons I've run
