What Else Is There? Weekly :: 2024.03.21

// Kacey Musgraves drapes her impeccable voice atop a lush and enchanting bed of chilled out dream pop to remind us that money can't buy true happiness on Lonely Millionaire.

// Flamingosis delivers the most struttable song of the summer with a delicious slice of instrumental future funk full of jangly guitar and syncopated synths on Nebula Gazer.

// Justin Timberlake may have ruined his world tour, but at least he left us with this call to action on the dancefloor built from propulsive bass and acrobatic vocals on F**kin' Up The Disco.

// B.D.B. is a collaboration between techno artist Benjamin Damage and the progressive house duo Bicep where they melt a trancelike voice across burbling bass on Chroma 002 L.A.V.A.

// Four Tet programs a digital garden full of subtle details and intricate interactions for us to woozily stutter step through on 31 Bloom.

No. Sorry. They are not “collateral damage” they are human beings who happen to have been born there and live there and most of those human beings are stuck there. Have some compassion, they are Palestinians not buildings or roads or things, they are human beings and so are the hostages whose lives you may also be destroying. They aren't “collateral damage” either. —Mark Ruffalo

I actually about to go insane!!!!! Upon rewatching the “I say, Havers” scene; I noticed that before he says the line about the operation, the Captain rapidly blinks and subtly shakes his head

The Captain actively thought about confessing to Havers, but he decided against it at the last moment. He was this close to saying something, and we can see those thoughts running through his head, but we can also see him repressing those thoughts

I… I need to lay down…

The sardonic, reductionist headline here could be "Scientists finally figured out why you get more colds in winter: bEcAuSe iT's CoLd!"—but the actual science involved here is both interesting, and potentially very relevant to everyday life and especially the immunocompromised:

It turns out the cold air itself damages the immune response occurring in the nose. [...] In fact, reducing the temperature inside the nose by as little as 9 degrees Fahrenheit (5 degrees Celsius) kills nearly 50% of the billions of virus and bacteria-fighting cells in the nostrils, according to the study published Tuesday in The Journal of Allergy and Clinical Immunology. “Cold air is associated with increased viral infection because you’ve essentially lost half of your immunity just by that small drop in temperature,” said rhinologist Dr. Benjamin Bleier, director of otolaryngology at Massachusetts Eye and Ear and an associate professor at Harvard Medical School in Boston.

Want to avoid catching or spreading respiratory viruses like CoVid-19, RSV, influenza, or a common cold? Mask up, please, but also bundle up! Wrap up in a scarf, wear a balaclava, and just generally keep your face warm. There's no single magic solution, but that's not a reason to do nothing. Rather, it's a reason to take several simple precautions that help avoid the spread of disease and protect those around you. (I can't tell you how much "this isn't 100% effective so I shouldn't do it at all" frustrates me.)

Oh, and #knitblr? This is your time to shine.
