Why I Love Electronic Music but Hate Dubstep
Dubstep is described in this Spotify artist biography of Skream as “…UK garage’s dark, half-speed offshoot” that uses the “tension and release formula.”  Thank you, writer of that biography, for putting your finger exactly on why I love a lot of electronic music but hate dubstep. It is too slow. And the tension-and-release formula gets really old, really fast. ...

On 'white people do such and such' jokes
Hmm I don’t think it’s wrong for white people to make jokes about how dumb white people are because it forces other white people who may see their own race as invisible or default to see that it exists and shapes their lives. To stop being so stupidly and naively ‘colorblind’ as the most annoying people say. Maybe these jokes force white people to recognize the places...

IGNITION ! An Informal History of Liquid Rocket... →
The most recent What If XKCD led me through a link-clicking fest that lead to this delightful PDF of a very rare out of print book about the history of rocket fuel. Surprisingly engaging, if you like things that explode and chemistry. Enjoy.   Also, I will take this link down, if anyone is offended by this breach of copyright, but really, if Rutgers wants to make money off of it, they should...

Don't get Diet/'Light' flavor shots in hot drinks...
While I’m on the topic of Aspartame… The FDA never approved the use of aspartame in heated liquids because it possibly breaks down into some scary shit when heated above 86 degrees F.   The labels on the sugar-free/aspartame flavor syrups (that’s how they make all those flavored lattes and cappuccinos) actually mention to not heat it up. But they do, to a pretty high degree, in...

Some clarity to calm the 'Aspartame in Milk...
I just need to point out that the FDA proposal to ‘not label’ milk that has aspartame added to it is causing some freak-outs that are from a misunderstanding of the proposed policy.  Aspartame and sucralose are already all over the grocery store shelves. If you are allergic to it, or just hate the taste of it as much as I do, then you are probably already in the habit of checking...

Too-casual. Fuck.
Aaand I forgot to dress well for a really important meeting with higher-ups today. I am wearing a dress at least, but also converses, and it’s a Prairie Underground dress so, even though it’s a proper and adorable dress it has fucking *sweatshirt-looking-details* which drive me nuts because it makes it look casual.    It’s this. In turquoise. Tell me it’s not terrible,...
