    Found out some cool news last night - one of my favorite synthesizer manufacturers is going to hire me to design some presets for their next instrument.

    There are people who believe that the Sandy Hook massacre didn't actually happen.

    Yes, there was an article last month about one of the victims' father who has dedicated his life to fighting online trolls. It's really sad:

    Pozner was one of the rare Sandy Hook parents who confronted those who questioned his child’s murder. In response to their comments, he posted online his son’s birth and death certificates. He shared the medical examiner’s report and one of Noah’s report cards. The hoaxers said the records were counterfeits.

    Pozner remained undaunted. He thought that perhaps if he could show Halbig the documents in person, he and the rest of the hoaxers might at last relent. “I wanted to be as transparent as possible,” Pozner says. “I thought keeping the documents private would only feed the conspiracy.”

    I was actually just reading about Matt Damon and he’s like, ‘There’s a culture of outrage.’ I’m like, ‘Well, they have a reason to be outraged.’ I think it’s a lot of dudes just being scared. They’re like, ‘What if I did something and I didn’t realize it?’ I’m like, ‘Deal with it.’

    I want to punch everyone who thinks that Sandy Hook didn't happen in the face. But I guess I'd break my hand so it wouldn't be worth it.

    I'm kind of torn in two concerning the ascendance of this lip sync battle stuff. Like a lot things in society and on tv these days, it started off small and felt genuine. It drew a big response, so it just started expanding and getting bigger from there. Now it's its own show full of shocking hand-over-mouth "surprises" and crazy productions and mic-ed guests so we can catch their "oh my god"s. I'm not gonna say I'm not amused, 'cause it can be very fun and entertaining (and wants to bring back male drag in a big and genuine way? props to that if so). But it also has that sheen of obvious theater. Are we really shocked that actors can perform or can act like this is the Best Thing Ever? And in perfect bite-sized, social-media-shareable chunks. I guess I can just enjoy it for what it is for now.

    While you were gone, the Internet sloughed off its kitty-and-porn chrysalis and emerged as the outrage-hungry fact-ignoring butterfly we have today. It's really been something to see.*
