When I used to coach high school girls' gymnastics it was pretty common for girls to do their Floor Ex routines to the Requiem For a Dream main theme. I get why they like it for that, but man... I found it so jarring knowing its original context.

I have that in the original hardcover!

My vote for best original score, ever.

The film itself is flawed but is so beautifully ambitious that it's always earned a place in my Top Five.

So many colours. 😍

Serious "The Fountain" vibes. Amazing film if you haven't seen it.

It started with one…

#[0] planted the seed of change alone…

#[1], #[2], #[3], #[4], #[5], and many skillful others gave their time and energy, nurturing the young sapling, which began to grow…

Some of us lucky enough to stumble upon this young marvel stood in awe, amazed by the beauty and power of something so small but with so much potential…

#[6], #[7], #[8], #[9], #[10], #[11], #[12], #[13], #[14], #[15], #[16], #[17], #[18], #[19], #[20], #[21], #[22], #[23], #[24], #[25], #[26], myself and many others did whatever we could, using our different talents to share our newly found love with anyone who would listen…

#[27] and #[28] used the great power and reach of their voices to spread the good word; something miraculous was growing…

Now thousands upon thousands gather together to marvel at this incredible creation, with more joining every day.

We are *here* and we are everywhere. We will fight for this, for what it is, and for what it can become.

Now, the tree of change stands tall, and it is growing faster each day.

It started with one. It ends with everyone.

This is the first hashtag I’ve spotted on nostr that seems to have gained real traction. Are there others?

LOOK WHAT I FOUND

I’d say the average is ~5 years from first commits to wide-spread adoption. Git was introduced in 2005, and didn’t really break out in a big way until 2010-2012. Linux was early 90s, and didn’t really break out until the dot-com era. First web browser, HTTP and HTML was 1990. First real breakout was about 1995.

So if you’re seeing exponential adoption curves <5 years into a new protocol and/or new open source technology, you’re doing pretty great!

Ooh how were the bagels? 👀

I think the most entertaining debate I could have with AnCaps is on "self-ownership". I think self-ownership is a terrible basis for a universal conception of rights, and I reject the arguments by Rothbard et. al. that the metaphysical claim that it represents an objective conception of rights is on terrible epistemic foundations. I want to have this debate with someone who can go deep on this.

Happy Single Awareness Day, Nostr folks! What’re y’all hitting in the gym today? I’m working legs & shoulders 🫡
