Messy iteration beats a perfect system. (democracy v autocracy)

If I had a denarius for every time someone said an organization/business/country/trend would last forever...

How about a cryptocurrency based on farming and fixing carbon? “Carbyts”. Or “Carbs”. Use any non-greenhouse gas based energy to farm and bank. Perhaps weighted by source of farming energy and negative eco impact. Alternative to traditional dirty cryptos

@HardcoreHistory Enjoying "End is always near." Sequel idea: for every calamity, they started over. How did they rebuild?

New interview out today with the Paddle Pilgrim Podcast! I share some Ozark pop and chat about trees. wills.lnk.to/PaddlePilgrimP…

@joshritter Heads up! Your link for tonight‘s show is broken. Link should read “JoshRitter” instead reads “JosRitter”. Adding the “h” fixes it. - Will (From a certain Washington Cascades village)

@taylorswift13 Really dig the descending vocal harmony line at the end of the Bridge in The Man... "it's ok that I'm mad". Nice little detail

@GregoryAIsakov Have you played with beneficial bacteria, mycorrhiza, biochar? We're doing field tests with commercial versions on nut trees in the Ozarks, but was developed for veg. Growing soil is like growing musicians.

@loppylugsOG Cool interview w RR on Broken Record. Esp remembering v. reverencing past music. Question: The year is 2319 and the definitive "History of pop music" is released. What else would/will have happened in pop if the Beatles are only barely mentioned?

@paulmabury @Lauren_Daigle @jason_ingram What do you call the song structure escalation in the Choruses of Love Like This, Everything, etc? Have you heard that elsewhere, too? I haven't. Really cool way to develop songs. Example from LLT 🧐 Chorus 1: AA, Ch2: AABA

@tferriss Some #peerreviewed studies suggest that #beetjuice or #cordycepes mushrooms can increase #VO2Max in athletes and mice. Use of these *could* be an effective way of buying time by boosting O2 uptake for respiratory-compromised patients. #COVID19 #5BulletFriday

August 30th! I'm releasing "SAPLINGS DREAM," a Choral EP of some of my early choral works onto streaming services.

@PeteButtigieg Do you read Ellul?

“It doesn’t matter if [your art] is perfect, because if you’re doing a ‘B+’ version of the thing that you’re great at, it’s always going to be better than a ‘D’ version of the thing that you’re ok at, even an ‘A’ version of the thing you’re ok at.” -@joncaramanica @nytimesmusic

@HowIBuiltThis #timelessseeds story by @lentilundergrnd would make a great(!) episode. MT farmers growing lentils against cultural norms, big ag, and guv policy. Why? Lots of variables: future and past generations, $, desperation, hope, soil, weather, solitude and community

I fail, to understand.

@scooterbraun @calfussman @shawnaskinosie Re: Cal's podcast. I think Joy and Sorrow are closely related: at the bottom of one, you find the other. But it's possible that Sorrow is much easier than Joy, that Joy is the harder of the two, especially in art and music.

When's the best time to plant a tree? Twenty years ago. But the second best time is today.

@ChefChrisYoung Do you know of an edible crystalline substance that can be used as a structure for non-sweet hard "candy"? Especially, low or no flavor?
