A friend who lives in the sticks sent me these last night around 11pm, I rushed outside just in case but sadly Birmingham city centre is not the spot to observe solar storms.
@mxtthxw if it continues tonight there's an outside possibility I could find somewhere with fewer streetlights within walking distance, and maybe past midnight more lights generally will be switched off, but I'm not that hopeful.
This was the one weekend I'd specifically planned to have early nights too.
Does anyone else here use #Tusky as their main mastodon accessing thing on their phone?
When I'm catching up on the overnight it seems to skip hours at a time which gets to be annoying.
I end up filling in the gaps on the default Mastodon app which I'm less keen on because of the jiggling "new post" marker that is constantly, and redundantly, at the top.
@keefmarshall@n3wjack I've just been scrolling through using Pachli and there's no missed posts so far, also haven't had to click "Load More" even once, which is nice.
@etherdiver@randulo@zaivala@elroachy@dht_@psychoalpastor@limebar@dereisenhofer Thanks for this, it's made my day and I will be listening to the track with fresh ears in a moment!
As it happens the association with Shogun Assassin really sprang to mind when the track was nearly done which isn't to say there isn't a samurai movie playing in the back of my mind most of the time.
I really do appreciate the positivity you bring daily to this arena, if that's the word, good on you!
If you're a regular listener to #radiofreefedi you may know some of the tracks on bedsit lofi diy already but may not have realised they were by the same person. Or it might be really obvious, I have no idea.
I had to ditch a track at the last minute to fit the upload requirements but splitting it into two "sides" actually suits the overall aesthetic.
I'm plodding through Nietzsche's Also Sprach Zarathustra in one or two page chunks at bedtime and I'm honestly not getting the sense he was a great writer.
The way it reads I can see how people could tie him in with Ayn Rand and Hitler, and I'm wondering if the writers I've read who have good things to say about his work have been filtering it through their own lenses to an extreme degree.
Maybe I should read Twilight of the Idols instead?
I should add, it's got a broad selection of bitters, a suitably aloof pub cat and the only tv screens are the ones listing what beers are on at what pump.
One sunday evening a month they have a cheese night with interesting and unusual cheeses.
