    Daily music recommendation #3

    This one's for my math rock girlies. Starts off with a blistering riff that just makes you wanna pick up a guitar and play, until you learn what tuning it's in. Just when you think you're getting used to the song's numerous sick guitar passages, it hits you with an absolutely anthemic extended "bridge" section.

    A pulse-pounding, pants-shitting track that builds to a mollywop of a crescendo. It's sure to put some hairs on your chest, if you don't die first from an eargasm so intense it'll have the Cambrian period flashing before your eyes. Listen if you like prog, fusion, or have autism.

    Anyone else ever write a story and then realize partway through that you're absolutely fucked? I'm working on a short story for a competition and I realize it's on pace to be at least 1000 words over the limit.

    In situation of over or under the word limit, I would sort out each of the scenes in clear boundary. Pin point the core idea of every scene, figure out which interraction or event that isn't necessary just to get that core idea, then I delete (or add if I underwrite) the no longer needed scene(s) and move its core idea to other scenes, hopely making it more compact.

    My future, editing self will keep that in mind. For now, I will trace this creative pest to the end of its trail.

    So uhh... who y'alls got for the 2025 NBA champs? (Gotta be someone who watches basketball).

    Lowkey want the Nuggets to win to balance out Jokic's MVP : ring ratio. You know, just to get him out of that Moses Malone zone. 3 MVPs with only 1 ring doesn't sit right with me, especially considering he could get his fourth this season.

    Honestly, my gut says Boston. Won't be happy with it though. That team has zero aura.

    You're talking about the Baltimore Basketballers. Yeah, they're a bit of a sleeper team. John Hooper is my vote for Most Improved Player.

    If they somehow squeak past the play-in and all the way to the NBA finals without Jimmy, I think we'd need to have some Tyler Herro GOAT convos.

    Listen if you like post-punk, industrial, shoegaze, being sad. This song feels like the cumbersome, absurd ascent of accepting one's own mortality.

    I spend every waking hour fearing I might one day Pavlov's Dog myself through my own habits.

    How did I just find out that Dikembe Mutombo had passed away? It's people dying who've never died before I swear.

    Sometimes you see someone die and you go, yeah that makes sense. Like, XXXTentacion? That makes sense. Jimmy Carter? Yeah, okay, he's old. But Dikembe Mutombo? Not the kind of guy you ever see dying.

    Not even, 58. My parents are older than he was. Crazy how you can live a professional athlete's lifestyle and cancer could still randomly get your ass. It's weird 'cause I seriously don't remember people in NBA circles talking about it.

    Finished reading James Joyce's Dubliners after weeks of struggling to do so, and I realize I probably would've shoved Joyce into a locker if I was his contemporary in school.

    Sometimes you can look at someone and just know they haven't grown as a human being since they were a teenager.

    Am I missing out by not trying other Lao Gan Ma flavors besides the classic?

    The flavor is chili.

    To be fair, you have to have a very high IQ to understand Lao Gan Ma chili oil. Its flavor profiles are extremely subtle, and without a solid grasp of Asian cousine most of its intricacies will go over the typical consumer's head.
