beautiful art

I started to see them on IG a few years ago when I used it a lot more than I do now

the "positive power electronics" music thing is a take I don't think I had seen before (though it must be more uncommon than rare), and it's delightful

positive, as in, compared to, say, big name UK act Whitehouse https://youtube.com/playlist?list=OLAK5uy_m0wDEjccTkHXUG52Cz...

fwiw, not all of it is that harsh!

there's a fair netradio for that style; https://www.radio-browser.info/search?page=1&order=clickcoun...

I think a lot about the "it's easier to destroy than create" thing, to paint a dystopia than a eutopia, n the Let's Paint work is an interesting reflection on that

when reading that I couldn't help but think of how you could learn from failure from this early apple story:

(maybe not the same as not worrying about failure)

This is great. One of the things I say to my wife all the time, which is taken from a Kurt Vonnegut quote, is that "I don't have to be good at my hobbies".

You could head for Chesterton as well: "anything worth doing is worth doing poorly."
