Thanks for reminding me to prioritize the capacity for dignified exit from the game.

So many interesting people and conversations have happened from hosting couch surfers over the years for me.

I play mandolin, which I think is niche? This summer I've been learning ableton live with the goal of combining edm influences and small, odd instruments.

How can you possibly combine capitalism & government mandates, and not see corruption emerge?

It's almost as if decades of identity politics fed to the uneducated masses is super effective.

Maybe younger folks aren't looking for a new digital home/platform? Insta, tiktok, and yt as well as maybe generally caring less about their relationships with large corporations and privacy?

Correct and thank you! I've been mostly playing A E A D E A (dadgad, but lower). I've been toying with minor modifications (a fav so far is the first string down half a step to g#) though.

Super excited and wanted to share my just-peeled-the-plastic-off-new 8-string baritone! After playing a Guild baritone and discovering it pairs great with my flavor of finger-style, I traded up to this 326ce yesterday. Still learning new harmonic rolls, different ways to hit the paired courses, and such-- the lower register and pairs have been creatively inspiring. I don't see a way to upload a short sound clip here, but if that's possible and anyone is interest, lmk. Cheers!

~100 years ago, when Nikola Tesla discovered AC, he wrote about electricity being a free resource for everyone.

My boomer parents unironically think he's the best politician since sliced bread for the last few weeks.
