@johncarlosbaez coincidences sure are neat. I was just reading about Klemperer rosettes, and came across this very cool page illustrating the Lagrangian point in orbits. http://burtleburtle.net/bob/physics/kempler.html

@sean_ae @c_reider yeah fair and probably the term itself was actually only used in America. Never heard a Brit refer to it like that even on the warp forums.

Today Bandcamp is fundraising for those "deeply affected by the devastation of the recent wildfires in Southern California" by donating 100% of their "proceeds to MusiCares, an organization providing emergency financial aid, mental health support, and essential health services to artists in need." so if you've been thinking of buying new music today is a good day to do it. Happy listening! <3 :) https://jasmineguffond.bandcamp.com/

@sean_ae @c_reider didn’t the term IDM spawn from the Warp AI series? That’s always the lore I heard.

@tsrono hey man, just wanted to say I’ve been really digging these over the past week. Really helped with my sanity lol

@tsrono 5 hours! Awesome, can't wait to get stuck in to this!

@tsrono talk to squee about it? He’s done a bunch.

"Though I am often in the depths of misery, there is still calmness, pure harmony and music inside me. I see paintings or drawings in the poorest cottages, in the dirtiest corners. And my mind is driven towards these things with an irresistible momentum."

In his letter to Theo, from The Hague, 21 July 1882

~Vincent van Gogh (30 March 1853 – 29 July 1890)

Starry Night by Vincent van Gogh.

In the foreground, a large, dark cypress tree rises up towards the sky. Its flame-like shape and dark color provide a stark contrast to the bright, swirling patterns of the sky.

Below the sky, there is a tranquil village with quaint houses and a church with a tall steeple. The village is painted in muted tones of brown, gray, and blue, which contrasts with the vibrant colors of the sky.

Van Gogh's use of color in "Starry Night" is highly expressive. The rich blues and swirling whites of the sky create a sense of movement and energy, while the yellows and oranges of the stars and moon provide a warm contrast.

Almond Blossoms. 1890. Oil on canvas. Van Gogh Museum, the Netherlands.

The painting depicts the delicate branches of an almond tree in full bloom against a bright blue sky. The branches are filled with clusters of white and pink almond blossoms, capturing the essence of spring and new beginnings.

Van Gogh's composition is simple yet elegant. The branches extend across the canvas, creating a sense of movement and natural growth. The blossoms are arranged in a way that draws the viewer's eye across the painting, highlighting the beauty and fragility of the flowers.

The color palette of "Almond Blossoms" is dominated by soft whites and pinks for the flowers, set against a vibrant blue background. The blue sky contrasts with the delicate blossoms, making them stand out and adding a sense of depth and clarity to the painting.

Self-Portrait with Grey Felt Hat, Winter 1887–88. Van Gogh Museum, Amsterdam.

The painting features a self-portrait of Vincent van Gogh. He is depicted from the shoulders up, wearing a grey felt hat, a dark coat, and a blue shirt with a collar.

Van Gogh positions himself slightly off-center, with his head turned slightly to his left (the viewer's right). This angle creates a dynamic and engaging composition. The background is composed of swirling brushstrokes in shades of blue, green, and yellow, which adds energy and depth to the portrait.

The color palette is dominated by cool tones of blue and green, contrasted with warmer hues in the face and hat. The grey felt hat and dark coat provide a subdued frame for the vibrant depiction of Van Gogh's face.

The photograph, being part of the Nobel Foundation archive, carries a historical significance. It commemorates her achievements and contributions to science, particularly her Nobel Prize in Chemistry in 1964 for her work on the structures of important biochemical substances using X-ray crystallography.

Agnes Meyer Driscoll.

She is seated, facing slightly towards the camera with a calm and composed expression.

Driscoll is dressed in a formal, dark-colored suit jacket over a light blouse, typical of mid-20th-century professional attire. A brooch or pin is often seen on her lapel, adding a touch of personal style.

Her hair is neatly styled, pulled back in a manner that was both practical and fashionable for the time.

So blessed to have seen Terry Riley perform “In C” with a wonderful collection of musicians at this incredible location #清水寺 #kiyomizudera

@VergaraLautaro This story has also been on my mind for obvious reasons. It reminded of an article a few years ago on Gödel's loophole and Trump that said any logical loopholes are moot because "there is no need to find one logical flaw in the Constitution, because, like any legal document, even a foundational one, it inevitably contains flaws, traps, ambiguities, and inconsistencies." https://www.newyorker.com/news/daily-comment/kurt-godels-loophole-and-donald-trumps-defiance

The bookcase shown in the picture is made of solid, hand-painted wood and consists of at least four shelves full of books stacked on top of each other and probably old manuscripts, but it is not possible to visually identify each item individually. Other unidentifiable objects also appear at the top of some of these shelves.

In July 1816.

Lord Byron, Mary Wollstonecraft Godwin, Percy Bysshe Shelley & John Polidori, who have gathered at the Villa Diodati by Lake Geneva in a rainy Switzerland in this 'Year Without a Summer', tell each other tales. This spawns two classic Gothic narratives, Mary Shelley's Frankenstein and Polidori's The Vampyre. Byron also writes the poem Darkness.
