    I get irrationally angry whenever I see censored text in a post. It only draws more attention to it. And I don’t buy the ‘avoiding offense’ argument. Talking around a topic is still talking about it. The only thing it does is show complacency with advertisers and the algorithm.

    I made this meme myself out of frustration and I’ve noticed the occasional post that apologizes for a pre-censored post or image. I like to think my meme was the reason.









  • I could swear the original Swype keyboard for Android all the way back in 2012 did a better job than modern phone keyboards.

    The thing that blows my line mind is that you will swipe or tap out an obvious typo, and the phone is smart enough to read the context of the sentence, and Apple claimed years ago about reverse context corrections, but it seems to never ever make the obvious corrections.

    We have the technology! Why on earth can no one make it work?

    Edit: the original typo is such a perfect example, I feel the need to keep it visible.




  • It’s pretty expected at this point. Snapchat was found early on to be keeping all of the photos people took for legal coverage. Only makes sense they’d have tool to automatically flag and review that content.

    If you’re not using a service whose entire focus is security and privacy (I would consider Snapchat to be more of a social platform, even though they advertise differently), assume you are always being watched.

    It’s not the fault of the user they’re being watched, but something we should be aware of.

    All that said, glad she was caught. Fuck her.



  • I think when we capture nature in a hyper-realistic way, the takeaway is control. We get to choose exactly what is included and what is not. It’s also about admiring the process that goes into it. We’re able to comprehend the work that went into making that possible. It also means that you get to stop time in the piece. You’re seeing that very specific part of reality that artist wanted you to see.


  • I think all experience of art, enjoyable for us or not, is something the brain adheres to because it is unlike nature. Nature tries to all blend together in a very loose way. We categorize many things like animals, land, the stars… but it all is really just one thing. Art is the ability to purposefully change that continuity with intent. To see something sitting there, doing nothing, and you feel the desire to arrange it in some way.

    Music is no different. We realized sound was one of our senses and most of nature’s songs are chaotic, outside the rare particularly talented bird.

    We’ve found ways to harness sound into whatever we found is most pleasing. And it seems what it pleasing is different from one person to the next, but also shares ground through the instruments we use.

    I imagine when we first started rhythmically hitting sticks on rocks, it wasn’t long before we had an arrangement of our favorite sticks and rocks to hit together. And we just kept getting more creative from there.
