I've noticed that when sharing links to my own website, but I thought this was more of a me-problem with the sites performance.
Will be interesting to see how that'll pan out with the new site I'm currently building…

Strum Machine
I mostly play old time and bluegrass music. Particularly in old time and fiddle songs, the songs have a fairly rigid and repetitious structure. That's not to say players don't do interesting things with it, but unless a song is intentionally crooked, the structure of the song remains the same throughout. A typical structure is AABB. That is, play the "A part" twice, play the "B part" twice, and repeat.

Just getting home from Spirited Away & the film remains as magical as ever.
Who else is going to Ghibli Fest at their local theater? gkids.com/ghiblifest/?gad_sour… #anime #art
Spirited Away every time it’s back in theaters, which started before any Ghiblifest, and every Ghiblifest movie I could make, every year since they started having them!
It is quite the era, having so much anime in actual theater runs. Digital distribution has done wonders for foreign films of all sorts, but especially anime.
Nausicaä next, we go!

I need the help of #mastodon #philosophers.
Why the f*** would #Putin try to coopt the legacy of Immanuel #Kant?
It's probably not a serious question. Maybe it's just a silly immature dunk on #Germany / #German pride. Or maybe there's something darker in Kant's writings that #Russia thinks supports recent #Russian behavior (I have no reason to believe there is, I'm just openly musing).
Either way it's certainly a bizarre new front in the conflict: #philosophy war.

German Chancellor accuses Putin of misusing philosopher Immanuel Kant's teachings
Europe News: German Chancellor Scholz criticizes Putin for misrepresenting Kant's ideas, contrasting Kant's peace principles with Russia's actions in Ukraine, despTOI World Desk (Times Of India)
TL;DR
Kant was born in what Ukraine and EU call Crimea but Russia now calls Kaliningrad; since Putin invaded in 2014 and illegally annexed that part of Ukraine.
Putin has a real obsession with not being European enough. so his point of (mis)quoting Kant is about trying to prove that Kant wasn't really German, nor European; but Russian. that area + Poland were part of the historical German Prussia.
Scholz sees it as Putin's threat to eventually claim Germany & Poland as Russian too.
@Gargron ugh, this is why am not an EU politics expert, LOL. thanks for the correction.
FWIW i never took seriously when people described him like +20 years ago as being obsessed with wanting to re-write EU history as a RU history but, WOW, were they right about that.
