Dr. Igibil @dirigibil.bsky.social · 02/09/2026The dog perspective issue is one of the great accomplishments of the medium. 100
Dr. Igibil @dirigibil.bsky.social · 27/08/2026Some people would let the world burn to enrich themselves, others would set it aflame. 000
Dr. Igibil @dirigibil.bsky.social · 10/08/2026The hook is pretty much lifted wholesale from Season of the Sticks, a far superior song of surprisingly recent vintage 000
Dr. Igibil @dirigibil.bsky.social · 06/08/2026The problem with 8 billion people is that there are 8000 of the one in a million horrible people. Well, one of the problems. 010
Dr. Igibil @dirigibil.bsky.social · 06/08/2026I would support an inorganic movement to do the correct number of claps to match the original in each break. I doubt the is a sufficient competence quorum to achieve this, but aspiration is the breath of life. 010
Dr. Igibil @dirigibil.bsky.social · 04/08/2026They could have not paid you and it would still have been much better. 120
Dr. Igibil @dirigibil.bsky.social · 01/08/2026XTC was by far my favorite band in high school, and I listened to them for literally hours every day. It's actually one of my least favorite songs of theirs, which comes from having heard the weird outro hundreds of times, but still. Elated, not even slightly confused. 010
Dr. Igibil @dirigibil.bsky.social · 31/07/2026Seems unlikely they'd abandon something so successful now. It's fun, and yes, not doing 96 would be a travesty. I haven't done a NYE run in years, but I'm absolutely considering it if it starts with a 97 show. 000
Dr. Igibil @dirigibil.bsky.social · 23/07/20265 Nothing else makes sense. I guess guitar heavy shredding versions of new songs with the bass turned down and retro lights would qualify, but satisfy no one. 010
Dr. Igibil @dirigibil.bsky.social · 22/07/2026Would you have enjoyed a blistering 92 style 30 second What's the Use? 000
Dr. Igibil @dirigibil.bsky.social · 22/07/2026Catapult and Lengthwise are the two great interstitial jam nomads, generally markers of the greatest of shows. I'd love to see an average show rating for appearances of each song. I would bet these two and Buffalo Bill are all quite high in that theoretical list. Here's hoping for all three. 000
Dr. Igibil @dirigibil.bsky.social · 22/07/2026It refers to tools as hallmarks of civilization? I was always just impressed how much it sounds like a train. 000
Dr. Igibil @dirigibil.bsky.social · 20/07/2026It's like bringing up something really interesting right before you leave a conversation. It's a phenomenal table setter. 010
Dr. Igibil @dirigibil.bsky.social · 18/07/2026Buried Alive is arguably the best opener. (Crowd Control is also arguable, but you're going to have a lot more arguments.) 140
Dr. Igibil @dirigibil.bsky.social · 13/07/2026That is obviously not written by him. It reads like something written by a well educated adult. 000
Dr. Igibil @dirigibil.bsky.social · 10/07/2026The key is a song that 5 to 10 percent of people like, which gives oxygen to the flames 000
Dr. Igibil @dirigibil.bsky.social · 08/07/2026Time to update Phish Stats Stats with the downtime information 000
Dr. Igibil @dirigibil.bsky.social · 26/06/2026The kind of person that uses rat poison to get rid of rats and doesn't have dogs so they don't think dogs might get into it 030
Dr. Igibil @dirigibil.bsky.social · 26/06/2026Bluesky needs a button to tag something as AI, with accompanying filters. I don't want to heart something that is AI. I want to ignore it at a glance, or never see it in the first place. 020
Dr. Igibil @dirigibil.bsky.social · 26/06/2026Or, better yet, something wonderful to print and post on the route to a Phish show 010
Dr. Igibil @dirigibil.bsky.social · 26/06/2026They're in a financial pinch due to circumstances largely out of their control. Due diligence is literally the job of the general manager. The cat's already out of the bag, so he might as well look around and see what's out there. 010
Dr. Igibil @dirigibil.bsky.social · 16/06/2026That's fair; I'm still leary of Italy after that whole thing with the Roman Empire 010
Dr. Igibil @dirigibil.bsky.social · 15/06/2026I would think the 5 letter combo with only a y in the center for a vowel would have already gotten you there. They have at least 2 more games to go! 110
Dr. Igibil @dirigibil.bsky.social · 14/06/2026It's definitely dampened. The audience is white enough to make it comfortable. Personally, I can't get past the fact that that is clearly Louis Armstrong portrayed as a monkey trying to be human, which was mean spirited, racist commentary on the man. I suspect that's why it's out of rotation. 000
Dr. Igibil @dirigibil.bsky.social · 10/06/2026It's the logical endpoint for the anti-woke movement 060
Dr. Igibil @dirigibil.bsky.social · 10/06/2026It also has super racist origins, so understandable that they've let it go. A monkey who is obviously Louis Armstrong wanting to be human? Enh. 100
Dr. Igibil @dirigibil.bsky.social · 04/06/2026That's a very good point. I would absolutely never fly into this country from abroad unless absolutely necessary. It would be interesting to see a comparison to equivalent Canadian sites. I suspect the overlap between camping and World Cup attendance is minimal. It's incredibly unaffordable. 120
Dr. Igibil @dirigibil.bsky.social · 04/06/2026That's amazing. Camping was absolutely booming because of the bad economy for years, as the last refuge of affordable vacation for struggling families. If even that is out, things are going very badly. (I'm assuming gas prices are having an effect here ) 100
Dr. Igibil @dirigibil.bsky.social · 03/06/2026I think of patient as allowing it to slowly develop and trusting the process enough to let something interesting to develop organically. Generally, something does develop, or people would use works like 'boring' to describe it. 100
Dr. Igibil @dirigibil.bsky.social · 30/05/2026Bomb Factory is easily one of the top shows ever. I think part of the problem is ranking shows from 1 to 5. Most people are going to rank most shows 4 or 5 stars. So it's a mess statistically. Shows should be ranked from 1 to 100 stars for sufficient nuance. 010
Dr. Igibil @dirigibil.bsky.social · 28/05/2026Within the accusations as confessions category, this is particularly bleak. Unfortunately we have a number of systems in place that reward the absolute worst, and we are reaping the rewards of those systems. 010
Dr. Igibil @dirigibil.bsky.social · 27/05/2026I think you misunderstand. You would be interrupted by generically personalized platitudes. 010
Dr. Igibil @dirigibil.bsky.social · 19/05/2026Too many folks are afflicted with BED - Boring Expectations Disorder 040
Dr. Igibil @dirigibil.bsky.social · 16/05/2026I, too, prefer to text the doctors of the vet hospitals directly upon sudden vomiting 000
Dr. Igibil @dirigibil.bsky.social · 15/05/2026Going on social media is like sending my laser sharp attention into a prism 040

Dr. Igibil @dirigibil.bsky.social · 14/05/2026There's also the matter of the absolute environmental catastrophe we're accelerating for no discernable benefit. I can't fathom why this isn't front and center in this conversation. 000
