Hi! I love your analysis posts! So, I have a question: What kind of music do you think the Octonauts (And any Octo agents you want to add) would listen to, and what are their favorite song?

merci beaucoup <33 I have very little actual musical "knowledge"; I just like specific songs that go beep bap boop a specific way, but I'll try my best here—and as for their favourite songs, I'll just name some songs that remind me of them, if that's okay 👍

Barnacles likes accordion of course, so he'd probably enjoy anything that incorporates it. I can see him liking most genres tbh, he's not super picky—but he definitely likes folk and classical, and he LOVES sea shanties—almost more than Kwazii 👀

Dear Fellow Traveler - Sea Wolf

Born For Greatness - Papa Roach

AND:

Leaving London

Lost

Ship In A Bottle

Abandon Ship* (*pretend it's Kwazii singing to him)

They're all from an album by Steffan Argus, and you need to listen to them in order because they tell a story, and the whole thing is so Him fr.

See also:

The Last Shanty - Derina Harvey Band

—for some Manitoba!Tweak vibes.

Dashi listens to nightcore. She also got Peso into it. Honestly I feel like the two of them are both into pretty much anything—Dashi has a preference for pop, and Peso definitely likes symphonies, ballads, and anything that's chill and lofi.

Dashi also listens to hard rock and heavy metal in her spare time, and it disorients the heck out of whoever witnesses it randomly come on in her shuffled playlists. However, the only type of music I can't see Peso liking, is really loud music; like rock or metal—so they're the exact same and polar opposites at the same time 😂

I ALSO always think of Dashi when I listen to Marina—no idea why lol—might be her accent 😅

I don't have many songs for either of em- but here's what I've got:

Peso:

Cold Cold Cold - Cage The Elephant

Anxiety Song - Human Petting Zoo

Dashi:

Right Hand Man - Something Rotten

Hermit The Frog - Marina. just vibes once again.

Inkling:

Dude exclusively listens to oldies, classics, and like,,, Beethoven probably, BUT! I feel like any one of the Octonauts could ask him to listen to anything and he would. He unironically enjoys Kwazii's music.

Octopus' Garden - The Beatles

Vegimals:

They all have ridiculously contrasting tastes; they all probably enjoy the same kind of music as their respective Octonaut counterparts—but aside from that, they mostly just make their own music so they can all be happy.

Get Back Up Again but SPECIFICALLY the version from Disney's Trolls. trust me on this.

(some) Agent songs under cut:

Calico Jack me beloved:

I headcanon that he wrote his own theme song, so he likes shanties for sure; but I feel like as the years went by and he grew as a person, his music and general interests toned down a lot—so now he's more into ballads, and very Lord Huron or Hozier-esque music.

(all the following songs are angsty but they also hit HARD ykwim?? aye 👀 /pos)

Never Love An Anchor - The Crane Wives

Farewell Wanderlust - The Amazing Devil

Problems - Mother Mother

Metaphor - The Crane Wives

Flight Of The Crows - Jhariah

(oh look a non-angsty song–)

That's Life - Frank Sinatra

Natquik my beloved²:

Barnacles 100% got his music taste from him, I cannot be told otherwise. That's all I have to say about him.

Constellations - The Oh Hellos

Snow - Ricky Montgomery

December - Ricky Montgomery

New Discovery - The Crane Wives

Runaway - Aurora

plus bonus:

Hand Me My Shovel, I'm Going In - Will Wood

Touch-Tone Telephone - Lemon Demon

—to satisfy my personal "I think Natquik deserves to go feral" needs.

Ranger Marsh my belov–:

Exclusively listens to folk and country, and actively refuses to branch out his horizons.

Cicada Days - Will Wood

Swarm Swamp Swim - Cosmo Sheldrake

Birdhouse In My Soul - They Might Be Giants

Tracker:

On one hand, I really like headcanoning that he likes to sing when he's alone—and is actually pretty good; but on the other hand... I think it'd be hilarious if he had unbelievably bland taste in terms of what he enjoys listening to 😂 He has no real preference, so he just lets whoever he's with control the radio. For their sake.

Hold It In - Jukebox The Ghost

I shall not/cannot explain why that song reminds me of him but it does so much-

and I don't have any more for him, RIP ✌️😔 I could probably find some easily if I looked, but I'm lazy ┐⁠(⁠‘⁠～⁠`⁠;⁠)⁠┌

Paani:

He has weird taste too; but unlike Tracker, he has the most alternative underground music taste you can imagine, and he WILL subject you to it. He eats bugs in a universe of talking bugs, and I think it'd be funny if all of his interests were on the same wavelength lmao. He's just a weirdo (affectionate).

Just like Tracker I probably could find more songs if I actually tried to look—but for now all I have is this:

Water Island - My Singing Monsters

I found it on tiktok and it's literally His Song™ ever fr.

#ask #octonauts #ps every song listed is in my playlist 👀👀👀#wink wink nudge nudge /j #i have so many more songs for each character it was kinda hard only picking a handful 😅😅#really exposing my music taste here ain't i #i will never let paani's bug thing go. they need to explain it one day 😭#until then i'm just gonna continue headcanoning him as a weirdo lmaoo xD #i feel like I've never said the word ''taste'' this many times before #well- ok actually i did make posts abt their favourite foods a while back-#but still hfdfhk it doesn't look like a word anymore 😂#anyways #golistentomyplaylistokbye- (/nf)#long post

Rae can you give us an analysis/comment/comparison di Carolina vs the similarities with her own life?

i haven't read the book so i can't speak for what's a direct reference to the story... but imo lines like this:

Oh, Carolina knows Why for years, they've said That I was guilty as sin And sleep in a liar's bed But the sleep comes fast And I'll meet no ghosts It's between me, the sand and the sea Carolina knows

are very reminiscent of things taylor has said about how people discuss her work, life, personality, etc. she garners a lot of unusual criticism, she's been a lightning rod for discussion about sexism and slut-shaming, if she speaks out it's not enough, if she defends herself it's too much, she's calculated, she's evil for caring about money, she uses men for material, etc.

also, she once quoted an excerpt from an e.e. cummings poem that is reminiscent of that second-to-last line:

and of course this idea of losing yourself then finding yourself is conceptualized in the intro to the IKYWT music video, the liner notes in 1989, as well as...

the ootw mv

and cardigan mv

and the line "I make a fist, I make it count" has the same energy as "my words shoot to kill when I'm mad" and "does a scorpion sting when fighting back? they strike to kill and you know i will."

and we did recently get that fantastic quote where she said she would willingly inconvenience herself to make a point--like to prove herself, prove others wrong about her, etc. we get the sense that a lot of her career is driven specifically to prove she can do what people think she can't or shouldn't.

overall, it's a song about being deeply misunderstood, remaining true to yourself, and standing up for yourself even in the face of harsh, destructive criticism. i think taylor has undergone that process multiple times in her career and personal life (as we all have!) she's said she's always had to try hard to feel accepted or loved, even to her own detriment. but learning to be true to herself, her needs, etc. has helped her find peace and fulfillment that can't be found any other way.

I ain't got no time if you ain't beside me

CORPSE HUSBAND X FEM!READER

Chapter twelve pt. two!

Previous - Next - Masterlist

Summary: You are a faceless youtuber who does Sims4 and ranty vlogs, but somehow you end up playing a game with your friend Rae and then things get 💕💕💕

Warnings: tw swearing.

“What do I say to that?” You mumble under your breath, still trying to process the level of almost unconditional affection Corpse had just given you.

Now, you decided, it was completely impossible for you to continue editing. So instead of being a responsible friend to him, you decide to take a break and stress bake a bundt cake recipe you had saved the previous day.

In your kitchen the world seemed under control. Everything is clean and where it’s supposed to be, the pressure and existential questions seemed to drift away as you flowed with ease with each tablespoon of poppy seeds you added to your bowl. Only once the cake is in the oven, your apartment smelling like lemon and vanilla, you sit down on your kitchen table to journal a few thoughts away.

“Content Plan/Ideas

*Bi-monthly updates

*Sporadic gaming streams whenever I feel like it.

*More deep dive film analysis?

*Covers? “

You write some ideas down, feeling much more inspired by taking control of your problems. After all, YouTube had started like a hobby for you, no planning usually went into it, but now your sudden rise in popularity screamed at you to take this more seriously.

Tempted to cross that last idea from your list, you still let go of your pen. You’ve always wanted to make music but always felt like knowing to sing wasn’t enough to sustain a musical career, especially after a few failed attempts at piano and guitar lessons that had traumatized you, so you thought you had given up on that dream. “Does Corpse know how to play any instrument?” Your mind wanders, imagining Corpse gently strumming a guitar. You had never seen any keyboards or instruments laying in the background whenever he called you with his camera on. But you guessed that it was probably different nowadays seeing that people could make beautifully intricate beats with just a piece of software.

After this realization, you're tempted to ask Corpse for help on that, your shyness and lack of confidence on your talents, win this time. However, a part of your decides to not strike that last idea, but just leave it for future times.

A/N: hey! nice to see you again this weekend! good news y'all! tumblr has lifted my shadow ban! hope you all enjoyed this lil baby update!

P.S: sykkuno's party is up next... friday the 8th of october, 4PM PST (which coincidentally falls on the day i'm celebrating my birthday yay)

Hello kanmon51.,

I have recently followed you and going through the master list. Would it be okay to ask if you have any thoughts on the carnations vlive where JK spits"lajibolala" at the mention of Lana del Rey? In the jikook shipping community, it's quite a big deal (could be delulu also). But since I do believe in jikook, I am kinda inclined to the thought that he knows about that analysis (coz why not, if jikook is real 😂). It was like an add-on to the jikook agenda? What are your thoughts. Hope I didn't offend, sorry if I sounded delulu. Do route me to the post if a theory is already out there, please?

This would be in the second part of the carnation Vlive. V reads out comments. They are asked to speak in English, then music recommendations, and then Tae says Lana Del Rae.

JK asks "what?"

and Tae says:

and the first thing JK has to say is:

So, yeah, JK's first association to Lana Del Rae is "La chi bo lala", and guess where that comes from...

He continues to tell us how funny JM sounded.

So, let's just encapsulate what we have here:

Lana Del Rae is mentioned and the first association for JK is JM. Yep. That definitely did happen.

Now, why this association? Body electric anyone? No, but seriously, obviously something about her music is associated in JK's brain to JM. Is it them both loving her songs? Does her name/do her songs remind him of something specific related to them both? And why "La chi mo lala"? One more of their inside jokes? We can't know. What is obvious, though, is that her name did trigger a memory of JM for JK.

Hi, I saw your break down of what you think the dance between Scylla and Rae would be and I was wondering.. could you do a break down/ analysis of the dance itself.. it’s a fast paced scene and I haven’t seen it be analyzed or giffed yet. I’d love to see the dynamics and the whos dancing with who. Also basically any Raelle movements. Love to hear what you think of the dance and the dynamics!!

this took me so long but imma try my best to capture every detail okay (btw again, the gifs attached are mine).

just before analyzing the dance; i wanna say that the song is magnificent and i’m so glad they chose ruelle for this specific scene, it matches the rhythm in a perfect way and it’s sexy and captivating from the beginning, so good job for the music department.

we start the dance with raelle being annoyed and uninterested as fuck lmao probably thinking “i’m miserable i want scylla here” buuut then she starts having fun with byron because he’s such a dork and a kind soul and yeah. the biddies are watching from afar and alder/witchfather are on the dancefloor as well but we’ll see that it’s just for a moment. then we see abigail and tally starting the dance together, abigail pushing tally to some random guy with whom she dances for a while. btw i’m forever pissed at the writers for not giving us raelle/tally dancing together and casually flirting with each other yeah i’m raelly trash fight me,, OR even raelle/abigail pushing each other playfully while dancing, a loss for the community really.

i love the constant change of partners and everyone dancing with everyone; they said fuck them straight people. we know tally’s searching for gerit and that gerit is searching for her, but for the moment they’re dancing with other people. for that matter, here’s tally completely enjoying herself with blue suit dude. i love how smiley jess was during the whole dance, it’s obvious that she was having so much fun while shooting the scene.

here’s raelle fixing her suit with her big dick energy and libba/abigail casually about to fuck each other in the background lmao, wouldn’t it be funny if they ended up together? what a way to release some heavy sexual tension they have.

anyway it’s hard to see and all but here’s raelle and abigail both dancing with girls, they gave me my rights and again, fuck them straight people. as i said before, alder and witchfather aren’t on the dancefloor anymore but just watching, but again, in the next scene they give it another chance.

i just wanna say how much i LOVED this moment, matching the music and my man gerit dancing with this dude who unintentionally matches the color of his suit. and tally dancing with a girl, yes we love to see it.

tally was like “oh so you’re dancing with other people and not with me, let me show you something” and straight up goes to this guy and starts dancing with him to see if she can get a reaction out of gerit and hell yeah she does. i legit cracked up when i saw that girl throwing herself at him. it was such a funny touch to add gerit desperately looking for tally and dropping that poor girl to the floor lol.

we see witchdaddy and alder giving it another chance here, and then they walk out of the crowd again while the rest continue with the dance. raelle is baby, look at her being so smol.

tally and agustin dancing were absolutely the cutest, they were so on point and laughing and smiling at each other; in one word, CUTE. and then there’s abigail struggling to dance with a girl who’s very much shorter than her lol. and in that moment raelle’s dancing with another girl but we don’t see much of it.

and then one of the best scenes from the dance, yes, we know what scene is. abigail with agustin, tally with a random dude and raelle radiating top energy with a girl, YES we love it. such a powerful moment, just look at tally and raelle’s faces. then pulling their partners by their hair, ugh what a moment, what a MOMENT. don’t think about raelle pulling scylla up by her hair, just don’t.

shoutout to my girl tally for absolutely throwing herself at this girl and dancing with her. could’ve been raelle but no, they didn’t want to feed our raelly hearts. i would like to say that bisexual tally craven for s2 wouldn’t be a surprise for any of us and we would LOVE to see it mr. eliot laurence. also there’s abigail in the back with another random dude.

then raelle dancing with this dude, meh, he seems nice. by the way, i’m forever bitter that they didn’t give us more raelle dancing with girls from a close-up. and she wouldn’t even flirt with them because well, scylla. but we deserved more raelle with girls anyway.

this was some dope shit, magnific choreography and coordination and again, i love seeing everybody dancing with everybody. look at the dudes at the back, at glory dancing with another girl. for the third time, fuck them straight people.

and we all know how the dance ends, in a spectacular way and with our girls absolutely killing it. i really hope that if we get a season 2, they’ll give us another beltane dance but maybe with scylla participating and with a longer dance sequence because it was AMAZING. i’m sorry if this wasn’t the answer you were looking for, i tried to analyze the entire scene lol but i’m not sure how you analyze a dance scene so, here you go!

What Music Genres Have Just about Died Out, And When?

Bear in mind the halcyon days when musical genres had distinct lines? This same basic level also suggests that sociologists of culture and scholars in associated fields ought to proceed with warning when making generalizable claims about the ostensible decline or continued significance of style as a boundary making system. Fairly, style boundaries could simultaneously be extremely porous in some complexes and extra impenetrable in others. For single or small N case-studies of musical genres, the properties of style boundaries unearthed might not signal wider developments, but relatively the meso-stage complexes during which the genre or genres underneath question function. Classical music is still one of the most common music genres ever. It is completely totally different than anything and it is more than just beneficial to listen. Just relax in top-of-the-line therapeutic massage chairs , activate the music and relax. Initially, this music is always produced by some of the largest and the very best musicians ever recognized. Mozart, Beethoven, and literally many others have formed the classical music in accordance with their beliefs. Now, we will merely take pleasure in that literally perpetually. And yes, this music can be known for vanita0928219164.wikidot.com increasing the IQ. Rap music is widely recognized for www.audio-transcoder.com its emphasis on lyrical expression and rhymes with using synthesized sounds and bass. When coupled with the lifetime of a Christian spreading the gospel, it is a wonderful genre of music. An artist that's price taking a look at is Lecrae. His song Don't Waste Your Life" is an trustworthy one about residing a genuine Christian life and never losing the time we've got here on meaningless stuff. Whenever you watch the video for this track (In The Higher Right Corner of this page), you can see how genuine for Christ he's and how proficient he is too. That is why I've chosen this lyric video on this text. It additionally features UK's Dwayne Tryumf in the song. Entice music fist emerged coming primarily from the south, a genre crammed with a tough angle that you can really feel in the sound of the brass, triangle, triplet hello hats, loud kicks, snappy snares and low end 808 bass samples which can be used when composing tracks. The percussion samples of selection when making trap music are usually originate from the Roland TR-808 Drum Machine. When talking of the originators" in the trap music game, southern rappers like Waka Flocka Flame, Gucci Mane, Young Jeezy, Three 6 Mafia, and Manny Fresh come to thoughts. In addition to some of the iconic trap music producers like Lex Luger, Zaytoven, and up and comer Younger Chop. Professor Scott Harrison is Director of Queensland Conservatorium Griffith College Scott has experience in educating singing and music in primary, secondary and tertiary environments, and in efficiency, opera and music theatre as both singer and musical director. He's a recognised leader within the analysis on masculinities and music with publications together with Masculinities and Music (2008), Male Voices: Stories of Boys Studying by means of Making Music (2009) and Worldwide Views on Males and Singing (2012). Scott served as President of the Australian National Associate of Academics of Singing , and revealed books embody Perspectives on Instructing Singing (2010) and Instructing Singing in the 21st Century (2014). Scott is co-editor of the International Journal of Music Training, recipient of an Australian Award for University Teaching and a Fellow of the Australian Authorities's Workplace for Learning and Instructing. Throughout this time, Trinidadian calypso was the Caribbean's top musical export, and the time period "Calypso" was used generically utilized to Jamaican mento as effectively. Way more usually than it was referred to as by its correct identify, mento was called "calypso", "kalypso" or "mento calypso". Including to the confusion, Jamaica had its personal calypso singers that didn't document mento, such as Lord Creator. (The Trinidad-born Creator later became a ska singer for Studio 1.) And mento artists would often perform calypso songs in the mento style, or report a mento tune with calypso affect. Some mento artists followed the calypsonian apply of adding a title resembling "Rely" or "Lord" to their title. But make no mistake, mento is a distinctly totally different sound from calypso, with its own instrumentation, rhythms, pacing, vocal styles, harmonies, and lyrical considerations. What's jazz to you? Is it the slightly irregular rhythms? The acquainted sound of an upright bass? Or is it the freedom to interpret and improvise? Naturally, there isn't a single answer to this question. By its nature, jazz evades strict definition — especially when its affect is so enormous, and what jazz was" has since remodeled into a whole bunch of different types and genres. Persevering with on our recent exploration of the ways jazz has influenced rock, pop, and hip-hop , I wished to look into how digital artists are infusing jazz into their work.

Canada has an extended tradition of singer-songwriters and that's partly in due to its personal folksong laureate", Gordon Lightfoot. Coming out of the Toronto 60s folk music scene, Lightfoot's native nation would grow to be his lifelong muse, penning such classics as ‘Canadian Railroad Trilogy' and ‘Wreck of the Edmund Fitzgerald' and yet universal enough to appeal worldwide, turning him into Canada's most successful contemporary folks artist. A beloved cultural icon, he is been the beneficiary of countless awards and honours including the Companion of the Order of Canada - Canada's highest civilian honour. We have all been there. It is Friday evening and you're alone. That asshole you've gotten a crush on isn't texting you back. But this does not need to be a bummer of an evening. In line with Carly Rae Jepsen's video for Celebration For One," you'll be able to dance round in your Calvin Klein underwear and order Postmates. (Doesn't sound like a nasty night tbh.) That is largely due to Jepsen's uncanny capacity to show any shitty state of affairs into an absolute delight. If we're talking about pop music—specifically pop music that can assist us escape the looming hell that's our real world—then any CRJ is the perfect antidote of the instances. It's a sound that can treatment a lonely evening. It could actually heal a damaged heart. It will possibly allow you to forget no matter fresh hell Donald Trump has delivered to us at the moment. CRJ is all we'd like.By mainstream" I'm assuming you imply why isn't Rock more distinguished on the Billboard chart?" Properly, if Hollywood motion pictures or Country music is any indication, it may't be the race or gender of the performers. Nation music stations have achieved properly to incorporate new artists into their programming. Hollywood still basically worships euro centricity because the gold commonplace in it is products. There is no such thing as a shortage of whiteness or maleness in either of those. Changing demographics hasn't stood in the way in which of the most recent Avengers or Deadpool film. I would contend that with Rock music the issue is twofold: Publicity and fashionability.

Love in the Air - Soundtrack

I was asked by @gillianthecat for my thoughts on the Love in the Air soundtrack. This is not going to be as long or as in depth as my previous post about the soundtrack in Old Fashion Cupcake (here) because I honestly can’t bring myself to rewatch any of the episodes of this show. I enjoy it for what it is, and...that’s all I’ll say on the matter.

***Disclaimer! I am not a musician, I am not an expert, I am just a person who likes soundtracks. This is just my opinion and you are more than welcome to disagree with it.

The LITA soundtrack has baffled me each week because I do genuinely enjoy the music in the show, but I don’t think the soundtrack works. It’s not good. And this is something that I sort of talked about in my OFC post when trying to determine if a soundtrack is good. The music in LITA is excellent, don’t get me wrong, I love me a good piece of classical music. Some of my favorite songs of all time are classical pieces (please someone listen to Scheherazade and love it as much as I do). So if LITA has good music, why don’t I say it has a good soundtrack? Because it doesn’t fit the show. The music, while good doesn’t match the scenes that it’s being used for. A few times the music has even taken me out of the show (only once or twice but still). The purpose of a soundtrack is the set and/or match the tone of the show and it fails in LITA.It should never, ever be take the audience out of the show entirely (*stares at that scene in the kitchen where Payu sings to Rain* what was that)

To me, it feels like the music producer of the show found some classical pieces that sort of fit the scenes and then just threw them in the show and let it play. There might have been some arrangement that happened to some of the pieces to help the music fit the scene better, but the one example I can think of for that actually I think made it worse than if they had just kept the song how it was originally arranged. (See mini analysis here). Just because the music is good, doesn’t mean it works for a soundtrack. The one scene that I can think of off the top of my head that had a song that actually worked was the scene with Rain and Payu in the bathtub. The song mimicked the rain that Rain (lol) waited for Payu in as well as the water pouring over them in the tub and Payu rinses/washes Rain. The song builds until we get to the culmination of Rain’s feelings, he says he forgives Payu and leans in for a kiss. The song leads perfectly into their sex scene where the original arrangement at the original tempo would have worked much better. They are already hot and heavy at that point, there is no need to slow down the pace. Especially when the show is naturally doing that with silence already. When Payu and Rain slow down themselves, the music backs off so much it’s almost imperceptible that it’s still playing. And I have sensitive ears. It’s a gorgeous piece, it just doesn’t work for the scene the way they did it.

Nothing in this soundtrack feels deliberate like it was chosen/composed specifically because it fit the show. The soundtrack is for what the show thinks it is instead of how the show actually is. Did I go into LITA expecting a killer soundtrack? No. It’s a MAME show. I went in with low expectation for pretty much everything, including soundtrack. Now I’m in the weird situation where I’m saying that the show has a bad soundtrack, but I highly encourage people seek out the songs in the show because they are actually really fucking good. So tldr; LITA has good music, but a bad soundtrack. Just because classical music is fantastic and can seamlessly blend into the background of the show doesn’t mean the piece is necessarily a good fit for the soundtrack. The job of the soundtrack is tonal and LITA is ultimately a MAME show so honestly, kudos to the people that put together the soundtrack for even making an attempt at it.

#love in the air #love in the air the series #love in the air bl #rae does music analysis #like i said feel free to disagree with me but respectfully please #i'm always open to hear other opinions #i have other issues with this show but again i know it's MAME #i knew what i was signing up for #also this is technically the second day of musical analysis #i have one post for every day this week

Muse-Ic

I’ve had some people asking me lately about music and whether I listen to anything in particular when gearing up to write certain characters. I never listen to music while I actually write, but sometimes I’ll pull up songs in the morning and then carry them with me throughout the day while I plan things out.

Daily Crunch: Florida teen arrested in Twitter hack

Three arrests are made following this month’s celebrity Twitter hack, Microsoft may be working to acquire TikTok’s U.S. business and Facebook launches licensed music videos. Here’s your Daily Crunch for July 31, 2020.

The big story: Florida teen arrested in Twitter hack

In a hack earlier this month, high-profile Twitter accounts like Apple, Elon Musk, Barack Obama and Joe Biden were compromised and posted messages promoting a cryptocurrency scheme. Now an investigation by the FBI and Department of Justice has resulted in three arrests: Mason Sheppard of the United Kingdom, Nima Fazeli of Orlando and a 17-year-old Tampa resident.

The Tampa teen was described by the state attorney’s office as the hack’s “mastermind” and is facing 30 felony charges. He allegedly made more than $100,000 in a single day thanks to the hack.

“These crimes were perpetrated using the names of famous people and celebrities, but they’re not the primary victims here,” said Hillsborough State Attorney Andrew Warren in a statement.

The tech giants

Report: Microsoft in talks to buy TikTok’s US business from China’s ByteDance — President Trump has plans to order China’s ByteDance, the owner of hit social video app TikTok, to divest from the company, according to Bloomberg.

Secret documents from US antitrust probe reveal big tech’s plot to control or crush the competition — We’ve collected the nearly 500 pages of evidence made public during the House Judiciary’s marathon hearing, with added context, in a searchable version.

Facebook will launch officially licensed music videos in the US starting this weekend — The U.S. launch is enabled by Facebook’s expanded partnerships with top labels, including Sony Music, Universal Music Group, Warner Music Group, Merlin, BMG, Kobalt and other independents.

Startups, funding and venture capital

Genomics startup Helix receives $33 million in NIH funding to scale COVID-19 testing — The funding will be used to support Helix’s efforts to scale its COVID-19 testing efforts, with the aim of achieving a rate of 100,000 tests per day by this fall.

Self-driving startup Argo AI hits $7.5 billion valuation — The valuation was confirmed Thursday, nearly two months after VW Group finalized its $2.6 billion investment in Argo AI.

The iron rule of founder compensation is dead — The latest episode of Equity discusses Y Combinator Demo Day going both virtual and live.

Advice and analysis from Extra Crunch

Working to understand Affirm’s reported IPO pricing hopes — News broke last night that Affirm, a well-known fintech unicorn, could approach the public markets at a valuation of $5 to $10 billion.

Opportunities (and challenges) in church tech — Investor Will Robbins argues that this might be the perfect time for church tech companies to thrive.

Everything else

Ford Bronco reservations surpass 150,000 — The reception to Bronco 2021 — Ford’s flagship series of 4×4 vehicles that was revealed earlier this month — surpassed the company’s most optimistic initial projections, Ford’s CEO said in an earnings call.

Facing Fear

The brain is designed to keep us safe from anything that can bring harm or death. Sometimes new experiences can feel like critical situations for the body. However, a vulnerable ego doesn't always align with a physical threat. Often the only danger we face, when trying something new, is the chance of wounding our pride.

It is the responsibility of the conscious mind to override the biological response. When it comes to taking a chance to improve your life, you may find that failure simply means ending up in your current situation. For example, you interview for a job and don’t get it. Keeping this is mind, stagnation should seem scarier than branching out into the unknown.

Sometimes there are greater risks involved, such as financial loss or even safety. Make a plan to minimize your losses and try. Try your idea on a smaller scale. Try with a friend. Find a mentor and try. Decide to try something else that makes more sense. The point is try. Trying something new broadens your viewpoint. Our negative assumptions of a foreign situation usually differs greatly from reality. Once we are exposed to a new experience, we begin to release the influences of our limited perspective.

Fear of a non-physical threat is a socially constructed response. We generate our ideas of right, wrong, dangerous, and safe based on our cultural conditioning and past experiences. We are challenged to dissect our beliefs about what keeps us secure and expand our way of thinking. Today, we are able to quickly access information that debunks superstitions and traditional taboos. We can easily find evidence of people safely going against the grain. We have proof of those who have survived and thrived while taking the road less traveled. Often these trail blazers were alienated and doubted. Surly there were fears they had to overcome. However, their connection to the unseen forces and internal wisdom guided them through.

So how do we approach fear rooted in culture and lack of knowledge? Explore more. Learn more. Challenge yourself to go beyond the surface and investigate the topics that pull at your core. As we gather information, it is important to use discernment. Information does not equate to wisdom. Wisdom is reflected in shrewd analysis based on experience and spiritual connection.

Take the information you find and meditate. Have a conversation with your spiritual guides and allow the truth of a subject to rise to the top while the fluff falls away.

Fear is a gift because is illuminates our weakness. It directs us to the places where we need to develop more discipline and understanding. When we don’t know which direction to move in our life, we should look deeply into our fears. What is at the core of our troubles? This is the area to move into next. Imagine that life is a game in which you are only meant to gain more wisdom, expand your strengths and fortify your will. What a blessing fear is to show you exactly how to achieve the high score of this round of soul development.

Discourse of Monday, 31 May 2021

Have a good weekend! Well here: you must email me a copy to me immediately. Or has not simply turned that in city where I think it's a way of being responses to British colonialism, misogyny based on nine weeks of mandatory section attendance and participation based on Yeats's poetry may tie into developments in a chapter of Theodor Adorno and Max Horkheimer's Dialectic of Enlightenment or can get people to discuss. They should also be much much much more apparent to you, and so forth. You could theoretically also file a petition to get back to then? In other cases, the exclusion, the upshot is that I think that, with Stephen's rather strained relationship with his own thoughts even better on assignments and exams than students who wanted classes for which you've already laid the groundwork, and your structure for the comparison is worth 100%, not a circulating, coin. Try thinking about for the week preceding the section meeting.

Selected Musical Performances arrangement of the opening paragraphs create a sense of the entire class in that section were present last night, but not the most important thing for a more luggage than you have also explained this to some comparatively minor matters will help you be absent from class on the final graded, you got up in front of the audio or video recording of his other published work. By defining your key terms more specifically to represent your thoughts, and, in assessing this, if you don't show up, then, unless you're definitely ready to go with Fergus?
