no no, you don’t understand, it’s not a torment nexus

it’s more like a torment fidget spinner

It’s so weird that even with this World Cup’s expanded field, China and India still didn’t qualify, despite having the world’s largest populations by far.

Maybe football isn’t historically as important for them, at least within their own countries?

We were lucky to catch Elim Chan’s debut at SF Symphony last Fri after she was named the next music director, and it was really special. She said she felt humbled and grateful at taking on the role, and she exuded a really direct, open, youthful energy.

She conducted La Mer, one of my favorite orchestral pieces, and one I’ve probably heard the SF Symphony play a dozen times. She also conducted Sascha Cooke, a long time collaborator of MTT’s, and they had a pretty emotional passing-the-torch moment in his memory. Everyone felt his presence, and his blessing, so strongly.

No one can replace MTT, of course, and I’m still pretty heartbroken that we couldn’t keep Esa-Pekka, but Chan seems poised to bring on a new era. Can’t wait for the 27-28 season!

The Great Supply Chain Security Paradox:

“every open source lib is getting owned! wait at least a week to patch, let other people find the supply chain breaches before you”

“AI is reversing all these patches, the window to exploit is down to just hours now, patch your shit immediately!”
