Dave Dexter

Honey! That composer next door's got himself into prestigious science media again. Get a broom and scare him out (or click and read if you're interested in my gigantic symphonic Galilean Suite and its inspirations)

@moonwatcher1 @ImperialBase 'I'd like to think that the last thing that went through his head, other than that blaster shot, was to wonder how the hell Orson Krennic ever got the best of him"

@ImperialBase "And then splash them all over the ceiling of the chamber?"

“May I have a moment to collect my thoughts?”

@DJWfilmmusic @LukeBarnett Or 66, in a pinch. Hell, even four sound amazing. Let's be honest, I just wanted you to hear my stuff because FG has consistently excellent score. youtube.com/watch?v=Ek4OZ3…

@LukeBarnett This goes for film scoring as well. Nothing compares to having 80 to 100 humans in one room together performing their instruments and recording a score. We were lucky on Family Guy to be able to do this weekly at one of the most classic and storied soundstages on earth at Fox.

I don’t care what they say, practical stuff like this makes a huge difference.

@LukeBarnett I feel that my own joy is worth a studio blowing an entire miniatures budget on. Love 'em.

@JasonWilde108 You are attempting to create viral tweets on esoteric, vaguely new-age concepts which in turn funnel to your monetised youtube channel. You also use AI-generated images profligately, which very much undermines your attempted position as a worldly guide to the beyond.

@DaveDexterMusic I'm providing knowledge. Free. These are things I was taught many years ago .. I'm trying to put them into a Western lens.

Ever think about how every moment we experience seems to flow smoothly from the last? Almost like dominoes falling in sequence. What if that entire sense of continuity is just a trick of memory? Because at the quantum level...where the rules of time break down...there is no past flowing into future. It's not linear. And if time isn't linear at its core, then what the hell are we actually experiencing? Something’s not adding up, and it's not a philosophical small fart....it's a spiritual emergency masked as “normal life.” In Advaita Vedānta, time isn’t ultimate. It’s part of māyā, the illusion layered over the one true reality...Brahman, the infinite Consciousness beyond time, space, and causality. The continuity we think we experience? That’s just smṛti...our memory function...stitching together a story to make it seem like one moment leads to the next. You remember yesterday, you anticipate tomorrow, and the mind forms a narrative...but it’s just a narrative. It’s no more “real” than a dream that feels logical only while you’re inside it. Imagine your mind is a projector showing film reels at 24 frames per second. Each frame is a discrete image. No motion. But when played fast enough, your brain gets fooled into thinking there’s movement. Life feels like it’s flowing smoothly because your memory is flipping the frames quickly enough to hide the cuts. But slow it down...through meditation, stillness, or deep introspection...and you’ll notice the breaks. The jumps. The static between frames. And then you realize: the whole movie is a montage being edited in real-time by your own mind....the only moment is now...and even that's questionable. Time-symmetric equations. Non-local entanglement. Reality doesn’t care about your clean little timelines. And neither does Consciousness. Causality is just how we rationalize the shadows on Platos wall. The real “You”...the Witness...is outside the theater entirely. Watching. Unchanging. Unshaken. Once you see it, you can never unsee it. The flow of time? That’s just a river projected onto still water. What you call your “life” might actually be a self-looping dream narrated by memory, running on autopilot. And that voice whispering between the frames...the silent gap between thoughts? That’s the real you. Timeless, boundless, and beyond the illusion of continuity. Don’t just take this philosophically. Test it. Sit still. Watch your mind like a hawk. And you’ll realize: you are not in time...time is in you.

@johndory1914 @JocktaviousGiga you're the one that made it weird in the first place. could have left it at coffee and sitting. nope, lech on the women! it'll be everything you thought it could be!

@JocktaviousGiga Fuck off Amerimutt

You don’t actually need to “do things” when traveling to London. Just get a coffee, sit for an hour at St James Square, look at summer dresses walking by, and it’ll be everything you thought it could be.

@JonathanWood Well... were any of those Ukrainian nationalists in that parade?

What a … useful idiot. King Charles SALUTES UKRAINIANS at WW2 victory parade in London. Does he know that Ukrainian nationalists slaughtered Poles and Jews for Nazi Germany?

@KainYusanagi @Reinbo_game tbf that's why I said 1400s, not 14thC; the earliest example my brief research uncovered was 1480s.

@DaveDexterMusic @Reinbo_game Oh I knew that they existed, but I wasn't sure if the rear-port breechloader was real or just something from shows and memes, which is why I had to look it up. Also, 14th century means 1301-1400; remember first century is 1 AD to 100 AD! Burgundians used them in 1364.

Not accurate to how to reload a cannon at all but I think it works gameplay wise. #pixelart #animation #indiedev

@KainYusanagi @Reinbo_game I, too, was interested to see if breechloading cannon were a thing. As early as the 1400s, too!

@Reinbo_game From my quick research, most breech-loading cannons did it from the side, very similar to how modern gun barrels are designed, though in their cases they are meant for ejecting spent casings and jammed rounds, rather than loading. this is how they were designed. :D

This is wonderful. There's a @grammarly ad with a typo in it, and the typo isn't the thing getting fixed BY grammarly. It's still there *after* being rewritten for clarity. You donkeys. #tenative

@pat_nolan I mean surely the point of punishments, fines and suspensions is that once discharged their subject can return to normal again?

Amid all the salivating at Zhao Xintong’s performance against Ronnie O’Sullivan this morning, it’s worth highlighting this from June 2023. John Virgo just referenced his bright future on commentary but his past shouldn’t be brushed over.

@grantkirkhope But Alex has updated his banner. He's updated his BANNER. What the fuck are you going to do?

Sounds like a threat

@WorcCollChoirs Sad that you had to say it but great that you did.

@BreeSolstad @becometheknight whilst the "ask a loaded question, reveal a lack of interest in answers, then affect quaint confusion when called on it" dance is ever-vivifying, I'm just going leave you with my own pope joke and mute this one x.com/DaveDexterMusi…

@DaveDexterMusic @becometheknight What in tarnation?

Questions for Catholics: Why do you still follow the Babylon Bee?

@BreeSolstad @becometheknight I suspect this is what you would prefer, yes

@DaveDexterMusic @becometheknight No discussion allowed?

@BreeSolstad @becometheknight why even ask the question when you just want to say you disagree with even civil responses to it

@becometheknight Thank you for answering. I don’t think posting mockery three times on the day of his death is at all appropriate or funny. 🙏

@AleRVG as an actual composer and not some AI jockey without talent of their own, this is actually a little offensive

🎼 We live trapped in a silent score. Notes waiting in stillness, inside the prison of routine, unaware that it takes only a single crack to discover that we were melody all along 🎹 --AleRVG--

@catholic_proud @CharlotteEmmaUK I heard he killed five dogs that had got into a cassock and were making it move in strange ways

@CharlotteEmmaUK If this is your big scandal, then he’s a saint. He was pope for 12 years and a bishop for even longer, serving the public for over 50 years. And slapping the hands of a woman who drags him is the worst he’s done? Please.

My favourite Pope moment.

@americanmcgee (also exclaimed post-funeral, when finding a great photo of her aged 18, "damn! *I* would", to the shock of various in-laws)

@DaveDexterMusic Get under the train! ❤️

I find it beyond bizarre that there are people in the world who look at this logo and read this brand name and think, "Oh, why must they be so edgy?!" When Alice dealt with psychological trauma and childhood abuse, she stabbed it with a knife and finished it off under a train with a smirk on her face. She ran toward the fight and handled it on her own terms - terms that included snark, sarcasm, and a stinging wit (remember, The Cheshire Cat represents that aspect of Alice's subconscious). Dark humor often arises not from disrespect, but from a deep need to alchemize pain into something survivable. When we laugh at what once broke us, we reclaim power. We say, “I’m not afraid of you anymore. Get under the train!” The truth is, dark humor gives form to feelings that are often hard to express. It takes the unspeakable and makes it shareable. Understandable. Even a little lovable. This isn’t a “wrong” way to cope. It’s actually quite common. According to mental health professionals, dark humor can help regulate emotions, foster community through shared experiences, and create distance from overwhelming feelings long enough to process them. And you know what? If you don't vibe with dark humor, that's fine! Either you aren't at that stage in your process or you simply cope differently. This logo? That's the signpost that says, "edgy ahead." You can join us if you like. We'll even accept you on the shadow path throwing cathartic rocks in our general direction 😂
