i put “All I Want for Christmas is You” through a MIDI converter, and then back through an mp3 converter

the result is this garbage

I’m driving myself up the wall because I swear I can hear the vocal line but I don’t know how that could be if it was truly converted to MIDI. Unless you can replicate speech sounds entirely with modulated MIDI notes, in which case I’m actually impressed with this tire fire of an MP3.

no no no no

this is incredible

i cant believe sovereign citizens are real

it’s just so bizarre. basically the short version is that they believe that laws don’t apply to them as long as they figure out the right way to fill out government paperwork and make themselves stop being “slaves” (they really use that word because they literally believe the U.S. government sold them into slavery at birth). it’s such a bizarre conspiracy theory thats predicated on jack and shit.

i also forgot to mention that they think if you fill out the paperwork with the right combination of words, capitalization and fucking pen ink then you’ll somehow get the hundreds of thousands, maybe even millions of dollars the government sold you for.

*changes my name to “’; DROP TABLE citizens;” and frees us all*

For the record, I no longer can guarantee reading my whole dash

Part of that is I’ve taken on more meatspace obligations with the house

Part of it is I’ve started following LW diaspora types, and it’s the densest concentration of genius I’ve seen outside of particularly intellectual subcultures in college and I love you, except four times a week you’ll have a 58-reblog conversation about something 12% chance I take seriously and I’ll have to scroll past entries 3, 8, 12, 14, 23, 34, 36, 37, 38, 45, and 50 with all the earlier ones bundled in

A Mansion, a Shell Company and Resentment in Bel Air - The New York Times

A glimpse into the world of Men With Gold Chains in Los Angeles. The “shell company” angle is an especially thin pretext ‘cause everyone knows buildings are owned by shell companies in California to avoid Prop 13 reassessments on sale.

I am actually pretty invested in this plan for a new 102-story skyscraper in Manhattan. Real estate developers are surrounding Central Park in tall skinny skyscapers, so that the park will be basically a pit overlooked by many incredibly rich people in steel and glass towers, and now the towers are going to be festooned with hundreds of metres of sculptures of angels and sprockets and gargoyles? This is the dystopic cyberpunk future we were all promised.

More and more products are advertised for what they don’t have instead of what they have. Everything is this-free and that-free. It troubles me that the word “free”, which is supposed to mean something like wildness, is now used for puritanism.

Quantifying the Weepy Bestseller

Quantifying the Weepy Bestseller

xhxhxhx:

The best lack all conviction, while the worst are full of passionate intensity:

It’s not that emotions are absent from the most serious of serious literature. Rather, what is missing is a kind of explicit articulation of belief, what we might call, for lack of a better word, “conviction.” Over time we seem to institutionally value novels that downplay the clarity of their own beliefs.
