Instead of a “renaissance man”, I’m a “renaissance nerd”. Pinball? Sure. Sci-fi? Of course. video games? Natch. 70’s Italian Prog-rock? A raison d’etre.
But if they’re having to manually edit 700 of 1000 orders, then it’s like saying “self driving but we have someone take over every 5 minutes”. Which is extremely misleading when they say “it’s AI!!!!”
It's a great big universe
And we're all really puny
We're just tiny little specks
About the size of Mickey Rooney
It's big and black and inky
And we are small and dinky
It's a big universe, and we're not!
Yeah, it was. I’m astonished at how much light the photographer was able to capture.
Look at the polls - 49% ARE the faithful
Chinese Football US tour - kicking ass!
Awesome show in Dallas tonight . Packed, too! Good for them, go see them!
Also for iOS, News Explorer. It uses iCloud to sync between your devices, everything is on device, and it will even somehow do Reddit feeds! (Uh, I mean, if you still do that, maybe…). One time payment. Glorious.
Weird that they’re just dumping it on the market, midweek. Not even waiting for the rumored November release announcement.
If it’s that blue, yeah, take it in. Could be a dud. My idea on the color filters was to make it better for you.
- New SE is in the spring.
- Camera bump: look at a small case, there are a couple that allow you to place it flat. And the case can solve the grip problems too.
- Action button: then have it do something else. Mine turns on the flashlight on if I press it once, takes a screenshot and offers to send it to a list of friends, if I press twice.
- Screen: look at color filters in the Accessibility settings. you can change it some. But it should be exceedingly close (476 vs 460). Might you be running a matte screen protector by any chance?
What hysterical was that I was listening to the BBC World Service hourly cast (5 minute summary) and they mentioned everything BUT the colonialism aspect.

Nope, but not bad. The free states wanted them to not count for representative purposes, since they couldn’t vote.
From Wikipedia:
Slave holding states wanted their entire population to be counted to determine the number of Representatives those states could elect and send to Congress. Free states wanted to exclude the counting of slave populations in slave states, since those slaves had no voting rights. A compromise was struck to resolve this impasse. The compromise counted three-fifths of each state's slave population toward that state's total population for the purpose of apportioning the House of Representatives, effectively giving the Southern states more power in the House relative to the Northern states.
New EP by Rob Ford Explorer
No affiliation, just following them on Bandcamp and saw this, this morning. A little harsher than their self-titled.

Unsure WHICH one of the TWDY this is, but tickets just went on sale.
Bandcamp Friday - what did you get?
Only a couple post-rock albums for me. But good on GIAA for releasing an album today! Including the others because hey, isn’t the old saying “math rock is just post rock with more Tapping?“
shikimi by te' (math)
Embers by GOD IS AN ASTRONAUT
Mantles by Layers in Lairs (math, asiwyfa/battles is my reference)
Girlfriends by Girlfriends (tappy math)
Star Showers On The Euphrates by *Ancients (so good)
Rosewood by Kaguu
Bandcamp Friday - what I bought. What did you buy?
I’m fortunate enough to be able to support bands by buying their albums. Especially today, when Bandcamp doesn’t take a cut. Here’s my Math rock portion.
shikimi by te' - Japanese instrumental post/Math Rock. Busy and fun. More on the rock side of things.
Mantles by Layers in Lairs - like Battles and ASIWYFA had a kid. Bearcubbin-related, another new band to me.
Girlfriends by Girlfriends - came really recommended. Tappy goodness. Alas, a one-shot.
Rosewood by Kaguu - Math/Prog EP that’s upbeat and whimsical.
Fractal - Missy
No idea what the story is with this band, but was listening to it this morning and thought I’d share. Hopefully this one’s better some of you to also share.
Chinese Football on US/CA tour in Oct
Didn’t expect to ever see these guys on tour, but they have a handful of dates here. And yes, the name is a play on American Football
And Abelia (Dallas support) is great, saw them at Plus Fest. Looks like the support bands are local to their area

Pelagic Post-Rock/Metal Fest - Free Livestream this weekend!
cross-posted from: https://lemmy.world/post/19024684
> Title undersells it. There's an actual festival in the Netherlands this weekend, celebrating Pelagic Records bands. So there are performances by ASIWYFA (playing the entire new album), Oh Hiroshima, The Ocean (playing the entirety of Pelagic) and a ton more. Free livestream, here's Saturday's video.: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YNKIcVHQ56M. > > Sunday has The Ocean again, but also Ihsahn. I'm psyched to see Spurv, Briqueville, and EF. Tell your post-rock/post-metal/math-rock friends!

"Layers In Lairs" - reminds me of Zefs Chasing Cara
Parts remind me of Battles, but also Zefs Chasing Cara. Electronic-twinged math-rock.
The decision revives a lawsuit filed by 94 women who said their OB-GYN sexually abused them. Previously, a lower court determined that the actions they alleged had to be treated as medical malpractice.

Cosmic horror is dead yet eternal lies
I was browsing new communities and came across [email protected].
I mentioned that there was one already, this one. At some point kbin.social died. If nothing else, this new one will have at least a couple people posting.
Full message I got: Yeah, there’s an issue with how communities are federated. If the host instance goes down, there’s nothing which reflects when viewing the community from a remote instance. Local users can continue posting, blissfully unaware that their posts aren’t being federated.
If you can still see your local lemmy.world version of !CosmicHorror\@kbin.social, you might want to make one final post there directing any lemmy.world users to the new !cosmichorror\@lemm.ee.
Math/pop - Orchards
twinkly math-pop with vocals. Guitar effects sometimes remind me of ASIWYFA. Surprisingly nice.
Octopus Project - Glass Jungle
I have no idea why this is in my library, but I came across it trying to figure out which artists I listened to qualified as math rock, and these guys sound like a combination of Battles and Legos, at least this track does.
Abelia- i've been known to get hit by airplanes
Saw this band at plus fest in Denton this past weekend. Very impressed with them. Hope y’all dig this!
#NowListening to Burial at Sea - Close to Home
Unsure where I came upon this, but thought I would share. Post rock with some horn, probably would file it under “crescendocore“, reminds me a bit of We Lost The Sea. Takes a bit to get started, but that last track is a monster.
Invalids at Plus Fest (Denton, TX)
Kudos to everyone at @AndysDenton for throwing an amazing day one of Plus Fest. I got to see Cloutchaser, Invalids, Space Corolla, Elders, Abelia, Donella Drive and more!
Invalids put on a fantastic show ( I love tappy math rock, and several of the bands met that bar for me - the photo is of some triple-tapping action courtesy of Invalids) but I was super impressed with everyone. If you get the chance next time, do go! It’s a really small venue, great staff, and a lot of heart and hard work. Thanks y’all!
Invalids on tour ( tappy math-rock)
Buy tickets for Invalids concerts near you. See all upcoming 2024-25 tour dates, support acts, reviews and venue info.
Just found out a couple of weeks ago that the band Invalids is going on tour starting this week! They are playing the entirety of Eunoia, at least at the show in Denton, Texas. I found them when Permanence came out, so I’m looking forward to it
I’ll be honest, I’m not a huge fan of the vocals, but it definitely is tappy math-rock, which is my go-to. Hope some of y’all can make the various shows. And the show in Denton also has Clout Chaser, so it ought to be interesting. :)
Bigfoot encounter in Louisiana
No real evidence, just an encounter with what was probably a black bear.
Hellana Pandora - how have I missed this guitarist?
Nice compositions, good tapping, great instrumentals and shredding. I think this counts as djent/prog-metal, posting it here first.
How the heck have I missed this?
