When I heard the news that Herbert Blomstedt had died earlier this week (who was still conducting at 99 yrs old), I was literally listening to his performance of Brahms' Requiem. It's considered among the best recordings of it, so why not take a listen...

Serano remarked on those types of 'allies' back in the 2000s. Of course, even writings like these aren't enough to move the needle. Good arguments alone don't affect discourse very quickly. They'll always be in greater number due to population size alone and more access to money.

Some old anti-trans conversion therapists who targeted child patients used to say "Some extreme cases are better off transitioning once they start adolescence, since they won't be desisting at that point", and now that's painted as an extreme "pro-trans" position today.

Like, most polling, political ads, news stories, never bring up the "Well, they have surgery etc, so it's fine" point, or even ask "Should trans athletes be allowed IF they transitioned?", just the first part alone

Video tampering can mislead every frontier model we tested into harmful actions, including a 100% attempt rate on stabbing a baby doll, producing toxic gas, and pouring water into a toaster.
We're presenting at CoRL Late Breaking Results next week.

Oh yes it's nearly all synths! Emerson was one of the biggest early synth pioneers in rock... I love the intensity and sci-fi vision of it, and how much the big instrumental section has parts that echo the original Metroid OST ehehe.
