This picture is kind of misleading though. Much of the photo’s creepiness comes from mistakenly assimilating the red dots to its eyes. Ants have those big familiar insect eyes we are familiar with. Quote from Snopes:

This is a closeup of a section of the ant's face but not the full face. In a text message, Kavaliauskas [the photographer] told us, "This is just the front part of the portrait [...] the eyes are already in the shadow area. [...] if the eyes are illuminated, all the mystery disappears and the photograph appears ordinary and uninteresting."

Nobody knows you’re wearing stiletto boots in an online meeting.

 

Love the dark autumnal vibes. Music that takes its time.

Are you... sure now? Have you been cured of the uncertainty? There is way?!

Wait what? US population is 345 millions. How do you even celebrate Halloween that requires three pumpkins per person? Plenty of people don’t even have a porch.

Musk rambles:

It’s a difficult thing to quantify exactly. I certainly feel comfortable saying that it is getting ten times better per year. Four years from now, that would mean ten thousand times better. Maybe a hundred thousand.

By better he means costlier.

So I went on Wikipedia and apparently Ornithogalum adseptentrionesvergentulum and its genus Ornithogalum are part of the Asparagaceae family which is known as the asparagus family, not to be confused with the Asparagus genus, of which it is but a subset. Gotta love when they fuck with people like that.

I never actually played. I just enjoy that artwork 🔥

 

Young artist with inspired angsty compositions. They have an EP out and I'm hoping they eventually get around to dropping a full album.

 

This one has a special place for me. The lushness and the other-worldliness is so appeasing.

 

Fresh new Louis Cole dropped along with announcement for a whole new orchestral album to be released Aug. 9.

 

It’s March 14th! An excellent day to eat pie and do maths. I might brush up on my geometry and try the NASA Pi Day Challenge.

Whole album's a banger. Sort of Sonic Youth vibes except I don't get bored halfway through (sorry Sonic Youth fans 😬)
