@BiankaB12 Now do Postman.

One of my longest-standing arguments is that we are not living in Orwell’s 1984, where truth is centrally suppressed and censored by force (that’s former communist societies, modern-day China, Russia, North Korea). We are living in something much closer to Huxley’s Brave New World. The truth is not hidden - it is almost always readily available. But it is buried beneath an industrial quantity of noise: propaganda, outrage, half-truths, conspiracy theories, influencer theatre, algorithmic rage bait and an endless stream of content designed not to inform us, but to keep us emotionally stimulated. The modern information system does not need to censor the truth when it can simply drown it in noise. A fact no longer has to be disproven - it only has to be surrounded by a hundred competing claims, stripped of context and nuance, turned into partisan ammunition and pushed into the same feed as celebrity gossip, memes and 15 second videos engineered to deliver the fastest possible dopamine hit. By the time the truth reaches us, it appears as just another piece of content competing for our attention. That is the more sophisticated form of control: not preventing people from knowing, but exhausting their capacity to care. Orwell feared a world in which people would be deprived of information. Huxley feared a world in which they would be given so much distraction, stimulation and triviality that they would lose the desire to seek it. The defining struggle of our age is therefore not simply between truth and censorship, but between truth and indifference.

One too many.

@bryan_johnson What's the best thing for the bone density besides lifting?

I’m 48, my body composition resembles a 20 yr old > bone mineral density 99.6th percentile > body fat of 11.3% > lean mass: 160.1 lbs On these markers, better than >90% of men in their 20s

@adamleigh25 What's an album?

Could've been the album cover. Just sayin.

@artcobat chroma key? is that like a boomer green screen?

Basicamente uma das melhores músicas do ano tem um clipe gravado com um chroma key mostrando galáxias e uma novata chamada D’Leesa cantando com a sua voz angelical. Tem alguns meses que ando obcecado por essa querida. Quem gosta de Kelela, Solange, Fka Twigs, vai amar forte!

How music works.

God, this is so much better than the recorded version.

for anyone who wants a great intro to IDM outside of Boards of Canada, Aphex, Autechre - this article by @laurent_fintoni opened my eyes to America's contribution to glitchy electronic music. mentions of the scene that birthed Richard Devine, TTV, Machinedrum, Phoenecia, etc.
