I remember this one time Freshman year when I was making out with a girl and she fell asleep and later I was like “you didn’t tell me you were narcoleptic lol” and she was like “is that Latin for bored” and I died

@VickieforNYC You seem nice.

Absolute children. In no other time would actual New Yorkers line up for a cringe ‘scavenger hunt’ by a politician. Adults don’t behave this way. This is theater kid/Disney adult nonsense and it’s indicative of a deep cultural and political sickness.

@jorilextera Is this because they learned how to use the phone by watching TV, where nobody says hello or goodbye?

i’m a recruiter so i do a TON of phone interviews and something i’ve noticed about gen z specifically is that a lot of them answer the phone and don’t say anything. like i can hear their breathing and the background noise, but they wait for you to say hello first.

@khconductor @sienawind2019 @sumiho_56 @concertimagine @japan_arts WOW!! When is this happening??? I’m coming to Tokyo in a few weeks!

さて今日は @sienawind2019 & @sumiho_56 タイム。Spending time with these great scores @Ostimusic #JohnMackey #sienawind #住谷美帆 #MihoSumiya #サクソフォン #saxophone @concertimagine @japan_arts

@piargno84 If we are looking at alums for the past 30 years, it’s pretty much Juilliard or Yale for full-time non-academic composers (and the majority are out of one J studio). That seems relevant if that’s important to someone as a composer, but your benchmark may vary.

I got rejected from Juilliard for my masters and I "got the message". Honest question: what has that school done since my 2006 rejection to remain relevant? I can name solid things that The New School, Columbia, and MSM have done, but what has J done?

@1ce2EveryMan @piargno84 I mean, I got in, and can literally play nothing. 🤷‍♂️

@piargno84 What was your instrument, who were the then instrument profs? Who was your feeder school/prof? What was fin aid like in '06? that's what it comes down to period. nothing personal. "Relevant" on what instrument? composition? very inflammatory w/out anything concrete.

If you want to see X call itself Twitter again, you just have to request your data so you can leave.

Overheard at a hipster grocery store in SF tonight: Cashier, to another cashier : He was like “I drive a Tesla” and I thought “there is literally nothing you could say that would be less hot.”

@jayhawktuba 😂😂😂

@Ostimusic If he was a flavor of ice cream, he’d be pralines and dick.

Haven’t logged in for a few days. Just did, and had 10 notifications. 9 were about posts from people I don’t follow. This just makes me even less interested in Twitter, @elonmusk . He probably won’t see this; he took away my check mark months ago.

@qualitea_alex Woooo!!!

Finally getting around to filming my next video! With all of my wrist issues and just a general lack of motivation, it's been really hard to feel like filming or doing anything creative. This is a type of video that I've wanted to do since I started YouTube, so I'm super excited!

Resisting updating this app because I really don’t want to use X

What are these bullshit “Subscribe to Unlock” tweets? This place is fucking embarrassing.

My daughter sent this text during the break of Day 2 of the bar exam. I’m going to go ahead and tell you, this guy not only is going to pass but he is going to make the most money in the room.

@aksocolofsky That’s a little low. The requested minimum should be $1K/minute. Even if $1K/minute isn’t possible, at least start there. I’ve heard of anything from $500-$3000/minute.

Hey, I’m in The NY Times. nytimes.com/2023/07/27/art…
