#haze
Purple haze all in my eyes
Don't know if it's day or night
You got me blowin', blow my mind
Is it tomorrow, or just the end of time?

I want this for the retrofuturist movie I will never actually make.

It is currently up for _free_ on #seattle Craigslist and would make one hell of a set piece if you are that sort of person.

#set #retrofuturism #prop #WhatEvenIsIt

An Allen Syncrograph Model E135 automotive distributor testing machine in a shop, consisting of a red and black trunk-like base with wheels and aluminium (maybe) trim, a large red boxlike device with a light and a needle display atop of it, and atop of _that_ a tryptich of three large vertical panels connected together with deco metalwork, the outer pair being some sort of collection of printed data and the centre panel being large panel displays with physical needle indicators presumably showing... Centred above that is some sort of projecting bronze part, kind of T-shaped, but with bell-shaped cones on the end. What are they for? I've no idea. it is a device of great mystery.

it's a device for tuning automotive distributors. looks like it's missing the chuck? you clamp the distributor onto that arm, and then a chuck is supposed to go from the plate up to the distributor. you put the wires on it and the thing spins the distributor at various speeds (see the 'engine speed' gauge) and the firing points show up on the plate at the bottom. the charts are various ignition timing information for various engines, so you can see how far off your distributor is and figure out what you need to change.

I haven't seen anyone use one of these things since I was a little kid, and I'm old as hell

It is actually very difficult to externally rotate the hips as much as they do in ballet for some people that have never trained in it even if they can do the splits and had a lot of yoga

Balancing on only the toes instead of the whole foot is also challenging

These two features make ballet exercise unique compared too many other common types of exercise and uniquely different than many other types of dance

Princess Tutu is a Japanese Anime that goes into great detail about ballet style when people move

Even when they are running or dance fighting they run with the hips externally rotated like in ballet

If you like ballet I strongly reccommend watching Princess Tutu if you can watch the whole series for free

@shortstories My sister did ballet for years. She did not pursue it. She was remarkably fit and lithe.
We are estranged...
This reminded me of her.
Sorry for rambling. Perhaps it was just cathartic release.

Aside: yoga is not a fitness regime. It is a spiritual practice to be grounded with Nature. Western ideas have subverted it. Unfortunate.

Also: The Russians were clearly better at this performance of Swan Lake. Synchronization and smoothness of movement.

In The Age Of AI, We Each Have To Choose How Much Of Our Humanity We Want To Keep

We now each have to decide as individuals just how human we wish to keep our experience, because we’re hitting a point where we can become just about as divorced from the things that make us human as we want to be.

These guys have a pretty good take on recent history and military operations and politics. A lot of things come to proxy wars between US and Russia/China, and while I can understand US animosity towards China, although even a lot of that I think initially was based upon fear, we feared communism would take over all of Asia even though we knew historically it always fails, and even today China has adopted a strong bit of capitalism in their economic system. So we had the proxy war in Viet Nam and Laos over this fear. I do not understand why we do not get along with Russia, after all our people are both largely Caucasian, our languages have most of the same vowels and consonants and are not that dissimilar, and in modern times our culture isn't even huge different. We both have major oil interests, and so there is competition there, but there could be cooperation and I think it would benefit both countries and the world at large. Given that we, Russia and the USA, were allies during WWII, I am not clear on how we became enemies.
