The only good Canada has done for the world: the 2019 Toronto Raptors, maple syrup, and Rush.

This is their best track. It's energetic, catchy, and also just the right amount of prog dorkiness. It might not be as technically mind-blowing as YYZ, but Spirit of Radio really captures the spirit of Rush: 3 talented dudes who really like Ayn Rand.

Every once in a while, I gotta hit the

Read the first couple chapters of a romance manga about a guy with insomnia getting cured by sleeping (literally just sleeping) with an underclassman girl who just... is interested in him, for some reason, I guess.

It's later revealed the reason for his insomnia is that in his freshman year he asked out a girl he liked (who he's never spoken to) on a date and was rejected. And he's been traumatized ever since.

I always thought I was a jaded cynic who couldn't care less about the world burning around him... but... but it turns out

I do care ?

This past year or two, I've been casually building up my spice tolerance, and now I actively seek spicy food.

This is the most I've identified with my own Southeast Asian heritage.

I feel truly Indonesian now.

It's time to drink cheap dogshit coffee and play chess in the street while catcalling every woman who passes by.

Step 1. Open food delivery app
Step 2. Order from an incredibly busy place on a weekend
Step 3. Pay a tiny bit extra for express delivery (guaranteed on time)
Step 4. Get a free voucher when the food's inevitably late

It's that easy, folks

This song sounds like going to a gay club with a concussion.

Happy pride.

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.
