lest we forget: the US Navy was *formed* to fight for freedom of navigation, and now Herr Trump is abandoning it:

“Quasi-War with France (1798–1800) — The First Military Response

The very first time the US used military force specifically to protect its ships’ right to sail freely was the Quasi-War with France. French privateers seized over 300 American merchant vessels in just nine months starting in October 1796, after France objected to the Jay Treaty with Britain. Congress established the Department of the Navy in 1798 and deployed 21 warships, which quickly degraded French privateering in the West Indies. This was an undeclared naval war fought entirely over the right to navigate and trade freely.

First Barbary War (1801–1805) — The Landmark Precedent

The more famous and philosophically significant episode was Jefferson’s war against the Barbary States (Tripoli, Algiers, Tunis, Morocco). When Tripoli demanded increased tribute and declared war in May 1801, Jefferson took the position that the sea belongs to no sovereign — you cannot toll the ocean or charge admission to international waters. He sent the Navy and Marines, scoring the first American military victory on foreign soil at the Battle of Derna in 1805 — immortalized in the line “to the shores of Tripoli” in the Marines’ Hymn.

These wars established free navigation as a founding doctrine of American maritime policy, long before the formal Freedom of Navigation Program was institutionalized by the Carter administration in 1979.”

Just to note:

When you take a self assessment for ADHD or Autism and it asks something like:

"do you have difficulty with ABC?"

And your response is

"I don't have difficulty with ABC. I've developed a System that I use to deal with ABC, and when I follow the System, I can do ABC. So it's not difficult."

... Then you have difficulty with ABC. Mark yes on the question.

Soatok’s Informal Guide to Threat Models

if you have never heard such a thing before of course you should give yourself the gift of Quartet No. 13, Op. 130, which contains the Große Fuge. If you know it then you already know and you're done for. If you aren't usually a string quartet listener and aren't sure you'll be into it, give the first minute a shot up through when they just SAW AT IT and open up a big hole in your heart and go back to something dainty and quiet. then try skipping ahead to the 2nd movement at 10:07 and try and tell me you aren't turning your headphones up to get that shit packed more tightly into your mind.

my cellist brother told me to work up to the fugue, it is an absolutely monstrous piece of music. No. 10 Op 74. is a lot of fun. i use No. 16. Op. 135, the 4th movement when i have taught about auditory fusion and harmonic resolution and some non-music students said they didn't know string quartets could be fun to listen to before that.

i think the fugue might appeal to people more interested in noise music and metal than average, it is notoriously hard to play because it asks you to do stuff with string instruments that you usually aren't supposed to do. the instruments feel pain at points, the musicians definitely do, it gets claustrophobic and it's a bit of a clusterfuck but it also feels like a cavern of needles in my mind and through all the holes pours the absolute wonder of what can exist in this world

To put a bit of exaggeration on it, it was about like this:

1960s: "If my daughter does the deed before marriage, I'll hold the shotgun at the wedding"

1990s: "Well it really is an affront to God and really isn't good... but I guess if they're engaged and it's very close to the wedding then FINE"

These were *the same people* -- not a statistical average

They disapproved... but felt nervous. Almost changing their mind against their will

It was their authoritarian personality working on them

#WritersCoffeeClub Jun 29: Is writing a lonely endeavor for you?

A:
Writing fills the room with clicks and taps,
Until I’m visited by the cat,
And then my girlfriend says she wants some cheese,
The rabbit nudges, “pet me, please,”
As a post I made, dings a new reply,
And the doorbell chimes the FedEX guy,
Now the people I wrote to fill my head,
Have tired of this and gone to bed,
For I would get more work done — if only,
My life were just a bit more lonely,
