Now Playing Tracks

It is reasonable to assume that whatever each of us worships is one and the same. We look up at the same stars, the same sky is common to us all, the same universe encompasses us. What difference does it make which system each of us uses to seek the truth? It is not by just one route that man can arrive at so great a mystery.

William Barnard Rhodes-Moorhouse was the first airman and the first Māori to be awarded the Victoria Cross. He earned this flying with the RFC’s 2 Squadron.

Action taken on 26 April 1915, death 27 April 1915, VC awarded 22 May 1915.


Who the hell’s trying to whitewash the Battle of Britain they’re wrong going all the way back to the WWI RFC pre-RAF.

As someone who started listening to music on vinyl back when 8-tracks were still a thing, who saw the switch from them to cassettes and then to CDs, I can promise that recording peaked with CDs. Suddenly shuffle was a thing. they were more portable than vinyl, they didn’t get chewed up just because the player got dirty, they had almost no moving parts, they were easy to rip, easy to queue up a song, and you could both carry around your media and easily loan (or resell) it - it combined the best of purely digital music with the best of cassettes, and had better quality/less recording artifacts than any previous medium.

Physical media is also the point.

oh brother 😔 I had this date a few years back with an autistic guy, where he was like “by the way, you’re autistic too,” and I was like “oh, haha, no I’m not!” and then he went through this listing of every diagnostic trait he’d noticed ending with “and you haven’t made eye contact with me ONCE!” while I sat there getting more and more furious.

in retrospect I think it was very funny, and I hope he’s doing well

Neither diagnosed nor undiagnosed but a secret third thing: peer reviewed.
