Haven't we learned not to make declarative statements on the internet

Shit’s been getting kind of real over here— leases and training and mattresses and not living out of a backpack or suitcase for the first time in nearly a year; and other people, close friends and new good guys like a surprisingly warm hand up the back of your shirt in the kitchen on sunday— and while I can’t keep up with much else it’s likely just pastures of better white space for some time, so in a month when I call you up to talk about my feelings we just forget about this yeah?

“First seen in the obscure Sega CD game, Penn and Teller’s Smoke & Mirrors, […] the ‘Desert Bus’ tasks players with driving a bus from Tuscon, Arizona to Las Vegas, Nevada.In real-time. The game cannot be paused and the bus won’t go faster than 45 mph. Plus, it slightly veers to the right, so you can’t just put something heavy on the controller and let the game play itself.

Also I can’t find something on the internet. When I worked at a library I flipped through some art book and read about an artist who built a sculpture in a town somewhere in Europe (Finland? Norway?) that changed colors based on the how the town was feeling. Residents had remote control-type things and would enter their current feelings by pressing a button, and the data would be transferred to the statue and change it’s colors, depending. It isn’t the Tampa Bay Superbowl Mood Ring Project. If anyone knows what I’m talking about and could email me I’d be grateful. tothesound@gmail

Useless as the extra r in it's name

Dissimilation:

In English r deletion above, when a syllable is unstressed, it may drop out altogether, as in “deteriate” fordeteriorate, ”tempature” for temperature, and “apeture” for aperture, a process called haplology. When the /r/ is found as /bru/, it may change to /j/: “Febyuary” for February, ”defibyulator” for defibrillator, though this may be due to analogy with words such as January

“Could a building even become addictive?, one might ask. Could you experience something like withdrawal after going too long without experiencing it?
Might you literally someday receive a prescription from a doctor telling you to visit a certain building for twenty minutes, because the phenomenological impact of its vaulted galleries might cure you of whatever – kidney stones, anemia, or even manic-depression. Male pattern baldness. Sexual frigidity.
Space is the treatment for the things that harm you. ”

“ Walks are one of Alÿs’s chief creative activities, each one following a simple narrative. The Collector (Mexico City, 1991-92) involved a small toy on wheels made from a magnet: ‘For an indeterminate period of time, the magnetized collector takes a daily walk through the streets and gradually builds up a coat made of any metallic residue lying in its path.’

From the school of Latin American Hammond players who investigated the features of the Hammond Organ till they made it sing. There’s a few of these on youtube, and while this use makes up most of the Spanish wikipedia page for the Hammond Organ, the English wikipedia page seems to ignore it entirely. Weird, because it’s rad.
