~3000 years ago, Koresh (aka Cyrus the Great) freed the Jews from Babylonian slavery. He, and the Persians, have been held in high esteem by Jews ever since.

Most Jews stayed in Babylon (later, Iraq) under Persian rule to be the center of Jewish thought while a few religious zealots returned to Jerusalem.

That is, Donald Trump has yet to read a book.
(With the possible exception of his bedside book of Hitler speeches.)

It’s amazing that you bring this up because I was just thinking this in the car two days ago.

Also, I was thinking about making other, unrelated Mavis Beacon products, since she exists only as a trademark and isn’t a person.

“This T spatula is personally endorsed by Mavis Beacon.”

(My mind pointed out to me that Carmen Sandiego is harder because there are a lot of products, since she’s a character who fictionally does things, and is therefore easier to “compete” with.)

At grownup art camp, doing a little UX testing/teaching practice/hardware shakedown with #plugdata and an #ObliquePalette with some folks here!

I’ve decided to teach future first-time tutorials with systems that make muppet sounds.

Hey, exactly! Those musical moments evolve from the overlapping samples. I effectively built a machine that could overlay the samples as textures, then gave them opportunities to harmonize.

Then I let you fall through space, catching glimpses of alien superstructures as they pass by.
