once again reminded how the designer of the furby sincerely believes they are alive radiolab.org/podcast/more...
CALEB CHUNG: Well, I have to ask you, when is something alive? Furby can remember these events, they affect what he does going forward, and it changes his personality over time. He has all the attributes of fear or of happiness, and those are things that add up and change and change his behavior and how he interacts with the world. So how is that different than us?

JAD: Wait a second, though. Are you really gonna go all the way there?

CALEB CHUNG: Absolutely.

JAD: This is a toy with servo motors and things that move its eyelids and a hundred words.

CALEB CHUNG: So you're saying that life is a level of complexity. If something is alive, it's just more complex.

JAD: I think I'm saying that life is driven by the need to be alive, and by these base primal animal feelings like pain and suffering.

CALEB CHUNG: I can code that. I can code that.

Also, I think most people in the world don’t give a fuck about Steve Reich, assuming they even know who he is

I’m lukewarm on a lot of his music, but it is unfortunately convenient to teach about because the way he uses certain musical techniques is very clear and easy to grasp

I met my first gf through the “online journal” community and she was all lowercase and I was a proper capitalization writer. I should have known it would never work

It still feels very Gen X coded to me, or elder millennial. Like your thoughts are casually tossed off and you can’t slow down to capitalize because it’s all about flow

It is very funny that they didn’t consider hyphens though, perfect storm of malevolence and ineptitude

It might just be searching for the word with a space on either side, so you could censor “ass” but not “assassin” for example

I was able to track down his Arabic Suite but it feels like a less "mature" work and a little self-consciously modernist, which makes sense because he was trying explicitly to get Western academia to respect Arabic music in the 1960s. The Maqam seems more like a deeply personal and deeply felt work

As I kid I definitely half-believed I was an alien for a while. I have a probably fabricated "memory" of floating above myself as a baby and then entering into and becoming the baby

I'm dying laughing at how the cat has conformed to her flower shaped bed today
A white cat is sleeping curled up in a med that has five fluffy white lobes of a flower petal, the cat has half her face peeking upwards and otherwise has filled the pentagonal space in the center of the bed completely
