A while back the frontman of the band was struggling with addiction, and there was some controversy around unfulfilled Kickstarter incentives and merchandise sales. Fortunately it looks like he's in a much better place now and I'm glad the band are doing well.

Thanks for sharing! I don't know how I didn't know about this already but it ticks off most of my interests:

  • Trash sci fi ✔️
  • Dark ambient ✔️
  • Creepy religious music ✔️

I'm a little confused what you're asking here. Do you want GrapheneOS to support more devices because you think on different devices there would be a different UI?

Voor een dag van morgen (lemmy.blahaj.zone)
submitted 3 weeks ago* (last edited 3 weeks ago) by gid to c/poetry@lemmy.world

This is my favourite poem by Dutch poet Hans Andreus. Here's the English translation:

For a day of tomorrow

If I die tomorrow,

Tell the trees

How much I loved you.

Tell the wind,

That climbs the towers

Or falls from the branches,

How much I loved you.

Tell it to a child

That is young enough to understand it.

Tell it to an animal,

Perhaps only by just looking at it.

Tell it to the stone houses,

Tell it to the city

How much I loved you.

But don't tell any person,

They wouldn't believe you.

They wouldn't want to believe that

Just a man

Just a woman

That a person loved another person so much

Like I loved you.

I'm new to making sourdough, and I'm relatively new to baking bread in general, so please forgive me if this is a very basic question.

I've made a starter using nothing but dark rye flour. I'm prepping my first rye loaf right now following this pure rye loaf recipe, but I still have a lot of the rye starter left over that I'm storing in the fridge. Can I use this starter to make other kinds of bread, like whole wheat or white? If so, what kind of adaptations (if any) should I make when preparing these different loaves?

To me headline highlights the intersectionality and solidarity shown when of one group of historically oppressed people (refugees) is rescued by another historically oppressed group (gay people).

The fact that the rescuers were from a gay cruise doesn't make their actions inherently more special than if they were from any other kind of cruise, but there's an importance in having positive media portrayal for LGBTQIA+ folks when the current political climate in many countries is turning more towards intolerance and oppression of queer people again.

Why would the fact that it's gay put a bad light on it?

I think this counts as uplifting news!

Isn't this is exactly the outcome Trump and Musk want though 😕

If these departments can no longer function because there aren't any capable employees it gives Trump's administration the excuse to replace those institutions with new ones that are directly accountable to him.

It's admirable that the people who have resigned did so because they don't want any part in what's happening, but I don't think it counts as uplifting news 😢

I want to take a moment to share my appreciation for Right Where it Belongs. Lately I've been coming back to With Teeth, and I'm feeling a newly-discovered affection for it. Don't get me wrong, I loved it when I first heard it, and listened to it to death. But it didn't stick with me the way the previous albums had. Or so I thought.

A bit of background: With Teeth came out in 2005, when I was halfway through my first year of university. I'd moved out from home and to a different country to study. I was already a NIN fan, having first bought Things Falling Apart and The Fragile 5 years earlier, and quickly catching up with the discography after that. I loved NIN: I started listening right at the time I was forming my own identity and sense of who I was and wanted to be, and those albums really affected me. I would listen to The Fragile every night as I went to sleep, and it's a testament to that album's layering and composition that I can still find something new in that album, 25 years and hundreds of listens on.

There was so much excitement in the NIN fan community in the run-up to With Teeth. NIN lore suggested there would be a new album in 2004 (there were 5 years between The Downward Spiral and The Fragile, so it stood to reason that the new album would be out 5 years after The Fragile, right?). Trent and Rob (Sheridan) had been teasing us with updates to the official website: the new album was called Bleedthrough, it was going to be more raw sounding than The Fragile, less dense. We had already had the live album And All That Could Have Been and a surprise companion release with that: Still, a collection of stripped-down versions of some NIN songs plus a few new original pieces. And the original tracks were heartbreaking. They felt open and honest and they were crushing. Would Bleedthrough be a continuation of that style?

Then things went a bit quiet, and all of the sudden the nin.com teasers disappeared. Then a new update: the new album wasn't going to be called Bleedthrough anymore, its new name was With Teeth.

NIN dropped The Hand That Feeds not long afterwards, and that set the scene for my expectations. I got With Teeth the day it came out and devoted the rest of the day to listening to it

I loved it. It didn't hit me the same way as The Fragile or The Downward Spiral, but it spoke immediately to the kind of things I was going through at the time. I was away from home, studying, trying to find myself. I had recently gone through a break-up that had shaken me, and I was feeling lost. This album came at the perfect time. I was in a bad place and this album was there with me through it.

The first time I heard Right Where it Belongs, it all clicked.

As I was coming out of that space, I stopped listening to With Teeth because it was too connected to those life events. It took a few years to shake that off.

Right Where it Belongs still makes me tear up though. Now it reminds me that I got through those times, and that I'm still here.
