I do this manually at the end of each week: collating most of the recent little comments I’ve made on social media, which I think of as my public scratch pad. I mostly hang out on Mastodon (at post.lurk.org/@disquiet), and I’m also trying out a few others. And I take weekends off social media.
▰ Losing both Charles Gayle and Steve Roden on the same day hits really hard. So much music reverberates in their respective wakes.
▰ There’s a special irony to electronic musician Steve Roden and free jazz saxophonist Charles Gayle dying on the same day. I’m spending the day after listening back to their music — some of the quietest ever and loudest ever, respectively.
▰ A previously unreleased Autechre album has been discovered by astronomers at the European Southern Observatory in the Chilean Andes. “Its light has taken more than 11 billion years to reach us: we see it as it was when the Universe was just 2.5 billion years old.”
▰ Anyone out there use Obsidian (the note-taking app) and, within it, use “graph view”? I use Obsidian a lot. The “graph view” is neat and all, but I’m not sure I have any sense of what I’d use it for.
