It makes me so happy that "neutrino telescope" is a real technology we have that's doing real research. It just sounds so improbable.

I'm not sure I've ever danced as hard as I did to that set.

Oh fuck yeah, turns out my favorite act from last night is actually the host of a weekdaily show I've heard before on C89.5 (local dance/pop/EDM station).

This is someone I DEFINITELY want to see perform again.

Hi my name's katt and I feel like I've broken the universe a little.

The idea that things either Are or Aren't isn't a necessary, inherent feature of the universe. It's a philosophical claim.

One that's been presupposed by an entire culture and canon of philosophical thought, sure. But it's an ideology, not a conclusion.

Asking "is magic real?" is an inherent misunderstanding of what both "magic" and "real" are.

Yes. No. Either. Both. It's missing the point.

(Same for "god(s)")

Lying on the floor because it's fractionally cooler down here.

Right now at this cafe we are watching on ESPN2 -- and I am not making this up -- the American Cornhole Championship.

Says @KawaSeadrake : "I can't believe an audience member clocked me as a furry right away."

Me: "sweetie, you're wearing a pet collar."

They said it was the third show they ever played.

Wonderful moment at the show last night:

Singer: "It's way too hot in here, let's maybe relax for a bit. Let's all sit down for this one."

And then they and the bassist went to sit in the middle of the stage, and the audience of probably 50-100 people all followed suit. We listened to the whole song from the floor.

City and Moon

A recurring motif in this book is a three-pointed milky way hanging above a barren world made of glass, and fuck that's a compelling image. I kinda want art of that.

I nominate the Tsiolkovsky Rocket Equation as a candidate for "most frustrating physics equation". You can just hear that natural log mocking you.

Hrm. Attempts to upgrade the rainbow sign's power supply have been delayed by my having an on/off switch handy to splice in.

Bonus, I can use this as an opportunity to make the connectors something other than awful 9v snaps. I wonder if I can find barrel jacks locally anywere?
