Addendum to Rule #???

I don't know what kind of propaganda I'm being fed by reading marine ecology articles.

And no, the correct word is not plagiarized. I mean obtaining access to scientific literature through bypassing a paywall, which is piracy.

Knowledge should be free and accessible to all, or else we'll be back to serfs and aristocrats.

Rule #???

It isn't okay to pirate scientific or academic literature, guys. Come on, guys, don't do that. It's among the most morally repugnant of acts, comparable to marijuana possession, shoplifting baby formula, and leaking classified government documents.

Think about the poor academic businessmen

I'm having lunch at this restaurant and they're playing Mr. Tambourine Man.

I finally got to experience that loud ass harmonica firsthand.

I usually don't care for Hololive music because it's 99% generic sparkly j-pop bullshit, but this song is pretty interesting.

Mostly because of those polyrhythms. Mmm those polyrhythms.

I'm a sucker for rhythmic and metric fuckery, listen if you're like me or if you like cute anime girls.

This WIP has had me shifting between "I have no idea how to write this" and "I know how to write this now" for the past 3 months. I feel like I'm in that scene form Synecdoche, New York where the guy starts talking about how he's going to do his play, but then one of his crew tells him it's been 17 years since he started.

I hope someone knows what I'm talking about.

Actually losing it.

I'm trying to get a paper published, and my thesis advisor sent a copy of the manuscript to a reviewer. However, I think she might've sent an older copy, as the manuscript that I got back was different from the latest version that I have.

But somehow, some of the comments on the older manuscript have been resolved in the newest one even though it was written before I got the comments

Tool are an interesting band.

They're a little bit experimental, especially with rhythms and meter, but they're not as out there as a lot of prog bands. They're also usually a bit more restrained than other metal bands.

No other band sounds like Tool, but at the same time, most Tool songs kinda sound the same.

Truly an Ænigma ?

This panel very succinctly embodies every issue with modern male-oriented romance manga.

Authors are no longer interested in writing about characters with chemistry and attraction that forms over time. Instead, characters become caricatures of themselves, highlighting their most marketable elements.

I interacted with 1 (one) picture of Edinburgh on Twitter (Yes it's pride month but I'm still gonna deadname her), and my algorithm starts recommending me pictures of beatiful cities around the world.

This is nice and all, but everyone once in a while it'll show me a picture of London
