Since I plan on being a handwriting note-taking maxi in 2025 - figured the best hobby to pick up is calligraphy. Got some funky pens in the DIY store, and a sketchbook with guided exercises. Let's see how far I get in 2025 with writing less like a doctor and more like a medieval monk. ✒️

Instead of watching El*n do the Hitler greeting on the twitter timeline (my whole feed rn), just watch this sloth having an existential crisis. https://youtu.be/spk2hyt9PRI?si=JAlPwlJArpb8UD1_

Antonio Lauro - Cancion Venezolana, the second piece in a three-piece cycle. The first piece I mastered (Triptico), the third I printed out today - working on it now. So, eventually, I'll be able to put the whole cycle together. 💫 Either way keeps me sane to spend more time on-strings and not on-line.

I am afraid, it often goes like this even if history will be on our side in the long run. For a depressing read on this topic, I suggest Fabian by Erich Kästner, diary of a moralist.

The trenches are actually those in "All quiet on the Western Front" Soldiers die for the powerful - while being deluded into it being something honourable. In the hours after the end of WW1 had been agreed upon, thousands more died just because the commanders wanted to set a time as official end that felt meaningful (11 November 11:00) - so they didn't immediately transmit the end to the front lines. Ain't that cynical. If you want a real anti-war movie, go watch that one or Grave of the Fireflies.

The joy of finding a new piece to obsess about. 💫 This Piano Concert stopped me in my tracks this weekend - never heard of the composer before, but if you like Brahms Piano Concert No1, chances are you like this one too. https://youtu.be/cgP0Iw2XMjI?si=7e54Whu1jqtBGETX

I watched the whole 6 hours of this spread over the last week and well...I had no idea it was such a tragic story. Of course I know they were forced into exile, but I had no idea about the personal tragedies and the amount of suicides in this family. Makes you think, success like that...comes often at great cost.

Gonna read my first Mendelssohn biography - apparently he was a very good painter and a brilliant letter writer.

Who needs True Crime if instead you can watch Youtube essays about how different cultures portray serial killers. Kinda fascinating beyond true crime. https://youtu.be/xfQUD6htDxA?si=iPLXrwYidnkbtpD5

I got myself an inkroller pen. It's like a ballpen but it uses ink. I don't like throwing pens away just because you can't refill, so this is perfect. 2025 I'm handwriting maxxing. Like copying the poems I enjoy.

For this week's onchain newsletter I looked up fun worm facts. Did you know they have 5 hearts? That's 5 more than the people who came up with the word DeFAI. Also five more than the people who dumped their AICC on you. A heart for worms. https://www.coinjar.com/global/blog/onchain-new-year-new-me

Imma be real... One reason I continued watching Made in Abyss despite it messing with my brain is the music. And the world building of course. https://youtu.be/5ognujPxaec?si=PecH-TeBmVkJCxOp

Since I saw @katekornish talk about her asking AI instead of humans about some language thing, I figured, let me do the opposite.. Plus I don't trust Claude 100% when it comes to Japanese anyway (it hallucinated entire wrong book plots before). From all the jp dictionaries I checked, there was also some reference to the sacred in the explanations. So I assume it's correct but... can anyone who is a native confirm? :))

I have seen this arc before... Silicon Valley Season 5 Episode 5 - a robotics founder being very creepy toward his creation. https://x.com/shawmakesmagic/status/1879789622366236759
