It's not what you all think. This is the Thiel/Yarvin plan in action. And the darkness of it far eclipses the poetic irony in it.

God why is farina so unreasonably good?

Nothing is that surprising anymore, but it is worth noting that this young person as well as the Christchurch shooter both cited absolute nightmare of a human being Candace Owens as a primary influence. #nashville

Chicago I love you but I also have no idea why I *choose* to live in a city in which I have to dress like this to take my dog to the corner.

Alright music people who's going to #namm ? It feels a bit weird though to take up a hotel room that could be used by someone displaced by the fires in LA. - is that a relevant concern in Anaheim?

Dark chocolate helps you lose weight by rewiring your brain to think chocolate is disgusting. #fitness

I am so into killing #tiktok - and yet the first time I'm on the cover of the @chicagotribune.com it's because I swallowed my contempt for the platform to help my friend make a Tik Tok video 🤦🏽‍♂️🙈.

If the millions of users who left Twitter and came to Bluesky also made a best attempt at not buying everything from #amazon, we'd really be getting somewhere. #bezos #activism

Pulling the last bits out after you're done would probably feel spectacularly satisfying.

Walking out of a grocery store without buying anything always makes me feel like I'm under suspicion of committing multiple felonies.

I love this bookstore. Edinburgh has such wonderful booksellers. Topping & Co. And McNaughtan's are both fantastic too (👋🏼 @spyglassart.bsky.social !!) #books

Don't fret: given infinite timelines are branching every moment, we still have ample opportunities to hit (quantum) rock bottom!

Neighbor got a Buchla. Good start to the year. #synth

I'll see your Rolling Stones and raise you a "The Mississippi Delta was shining like a National guitar..." #songwriting #music

Sub-bass rumble is the sonic equivalent of visible heat shimmer. I want to use it excessively but I'm afraid anyone with actual speakers will Luigi me after I destroy their gear.

Oh God don't give them any ammunition.

Wowwwwwwwwwww just floating in the vast ocean

Sarcasm is the lowest form of wit, but the only form of currency on #bluesky

Missed my goal of releasing this EP in 2024, which means I can safely spend the next 8,700 hours obsessing over every detail. #music #synthsky

Chris Oquist @chrisoquist.bsky.social · 30/12/2024

Fair. I agree with that too. Maybe I'm naive though but I think a reformed Nazi could also have a lot to say about why they became a Nazi, and how they eventually learned themselves out of it.

Chris Oquist @chrisoquist.bsky.social · 30/12/2024

What about two monocles? But like, attached in the middle.

Chris Oquist @chrisoquist.bsky.social · 30/12/2024

If you feel like alcoholics are "destroyed" persons by virtue of their disease, then your opinion makes sense. I would argue that calling them destroyed reveals a narrow definition of the human condition.

Chris Oquist @chrisoquist.bsky.social · 30/12/2024

I was responding specifically to a comment saying you wouldn't go to an alcoholic for opinions on alcoholism. I think those opinions are tremendously valuable. That's all.

Chris Oquist @chrisoquist.bsky.social · 30/12/2024

Have to disagree. Some alcoholics I know have become more informed about how addiction works, why users use, the ways the alcohol industry exploits vulnerability to create customers, and how to resist the drug than anyone else I know. Doesn't *necessarily* extend to the rest of your analogy tho.

And second, the removal of solar panels from the White House roof by Reagan after Carter had them installed. A symbol of US ingenuity and adaptation - and an early step towards reducing climate change - buried in submission to the incumbent interests of the ownership class.

Chris Oquist @chrisoquist.bsky.social · 29/12/2024

First, the (alleged?) collaboration between the Reagan campaign and Iran to delay the release of hostage until after the 1980 election, the unimaginable politicization of human lives by the right.

Chris Oquist @chrisoquist.bsky.social · 29/12/2024

Not a historian by any means, but two events surrounding the to 1980 defeat of #jimmycarter seem to signal a turning point in the United States and the kernel of how broken our country would eventually become...

Chris Oquist @chrisoquist.bsky.social · 29/12/2024

RIP Jimmy Carter. Seemingly by acclamatio, possibly the best person to have held the office of President of the United States.

Chris Oquist @chrisoquist.bsky.social · 29/12/2024

Ok I went for it and have two observations: 1) it's really good 2) dungeon synth feels like the ambient cousin of black metal

@timheidecker.bsky.social Pissman's litigation opportunity right here. (I know the deal with Pissman's is really important to your family)

Chris Oquist @chrisoquist.bsky.social · 29/12/2024

Actually that would have been awesome

Chris Oquist @chrisoquist.bsky.social · 29/12/2024

Really want to check this out but I'm afraid if I listen to it I might never get laid again. #music

People always talk up the Sub37 and it would nice to have another voice and more knobs, but man the filter on the Little Phatty is FILTHY. #moog #synth

Chris Oquist @chrisoquist.bsky.social · 29/12/2024

Oh! I almost forgot. If you do a great job this time around the *next* project will have a huge budget. Huge.

Chris Oquist @chrisoquist.bsky.social · 28/12/2024

Honestly it *still* feels like you're getting the short end 🤣

Chris Oquist @chrisoquist.bsky.social · 28/12/2024

And then email them a few minutes later and tell them that you accidentally attached the wrong file, and then attach the same file but give it a different filename.

Chris Oquist @chrisoquist.bsky.social · 28/12/2024

Any mix engineers want to fix my distorted ambient EP "for exposure"? Timeline is a very generous 48 hours and it's an incredible opportunity. I have similar incredible opportunities for mastering engineers and PR agents. #music #musicproduction
