Why are subtitles generally so bad?
I’m watching an Italian show and the official subtitles are mostly incorrect. I can’t quite catch all the Italian fast enough yet to turn them off, but they also distract me with how poor they are.
One day (soon).
Phillip Glass: Etude no. 6 | Elizabeth Joy Roe, piano
Here’s someone else playing the same piece as below to show how stylistically different two interpretations can be. Similar piano model, too, which is great. That allows you to hear the performer’s voice better.
Yuja’s is more formal, frantic and anxious; Joy’s is more bombastic and emotional. I like both, but give the slight edge to Joy’s. Her version just feels deeper to me.
Yuja Wang: Philip Glass Piano Etude No. 6
I usually don’t care much for Glass, but that’s pretty nice. Wish the audio were better.
Martha A.
It’s real. In fact, it’s Scarlatti’s Keyboard Sonata in D Minor (Kk. 141).
I cannot believe someone can play at this level at 84 years old (yes, the performer, Martha Argerlich, is 84 in the vid). That is absolutely unreal. It’s actually better than her performances from 30 or more years ago. Wish it were in more than 360p as it’s from only last month.
MASSICOT | Genuine | Dalek Session #4
I really like this, but what chords even are half of those? Two-string bass and such? Huh.
Presto BWV 1001 by J. S. Bach, performed by Stephanie Jones
Great performance and great haircut; so much better method of self-expression than shitty tattoos.
Aurora Aksnes – Awakening (First TV Performance)
I’m not used to seeing her with more normal, full makeup. She’s already so good as a performer.
I like her arm decorations. Not even sure what to call those.
The Job To be Done
I would gladly personally execute anyone who had anything to do with this.
Send me in coach, I got this. It won’t trouble my conscience any.
Social Minded
Samo beating the “New Minds” drum I’ve been going on about for many years.
We’re both right.
Maytagged
Part of it is clownery, but part of it is understandable: a lot of people realize they will be out on the street if (now it looks like when) AI is able to do their jobs.
A large part of the left just wishes to take things away from people with no other goal at all, though. They just enjoy it and would do it regardless.

That is weird that all the AI “critics” never seem to actually use it. Makes no sense.

Because women control the dating market and men not wanting to date a single mother would actually or potentially disadvantage women.
Easy. It’s just self-interest presenting as “Men are evil.”

Good scam if you can get in on it.

Eileen To No
Basically. Alysa Wiu is an American. Eileen Gu is not, no matter what it says on her paperwork. Simple as that. Send Eileen back to China and bring a million more Alysas in.
That would make the country infinitely better.
