Composer. I have cats, take pictures of food, and write music that makes me sound taller than I am. (he/him)

I remember this one time Freshman year when I was making out with a girl and she fell asleep and later I was like “you didn’t tell me you were narcoleptic lol” and she was like “is that Latin for bored” and I died

@VickieforNYC You seem nice.

@jorilextera Is this because they learned how to use the phone by watching TV, where nobody says hello or goodbye?

@khconductor @sienawind2019 @sumiho_56 @concertimagine @japan_arts WOW!! When is this happening??? I’m coming to Tokyo in a few weeks!

@piargno84 If we are looking at alums for the past 30 years, it’s pretty much Juilliard or Yale for full-time non-academic composers (and the majority are out of one J studio). That seems relevant if that’s important to someone as a composer, but your benchmark may vary.

@1ce2EveryMan @piargno84 I mean, I got in, and can literally play nothing. 🤷‍♂️

If you want to see X call itself Twitter again, you just have to request your data so you can leave.

Overheard at a hipster grocery store in SF tonight:

Cashier, to another cashier :
He was like “I drive a Tesla” and I thought “there is literally nothing you could say that would be less hot.”

Haven’t logged in for a few days. Just did, and had 10 notifications. 9 were about posts from people I don’t follow. This just makes me even less interested in Twitter, @elonmusk . He probably won’t see this; he took away my check mark months ago.

@qualitea_alex Woooo!!!

Resisting updating this app because I really don’t want to use X

What are these bullshit “Subscribe to Unlock” tweets? This place is fucking embarrassing.

My daughter sent this text during the break of Day 2 of the bar exam. I’m going to go ahead and tell you, this guy not only is going to pass but he is going to make the most money in the room.

@aksocolofsky That’s a little low. The requested minimum should be $1K/minute. Even if $1K/minute isn’t possible, at least start there. I’ve heard of anything from $500-$3000/minute.

The letter X will be holding a press conference later today. #TwitterX

[John Mackey @Ostimusic]

@mccahell 1) Yes.
2) I wish people would refer to me as “travel sized” instead of short.

[John Mackey @Ostimusic]

@mccahell Wait that’s a thing???
