Finding out that World Athletics pays $100k every time a new world record is set so so Mondo Duplantis has just been setting it 1cm at a time from 6.17m to 6.25m in the past 4 years is so funny??? Finessing 1 million dollars 1 cm at a time even though he can clearly go higher at one shot???? #respect

Financial scam cause how has he gone and done it a month after doing it

If he has that kind of precision he deserves to be able to do this

I saw his last name and the finesse and I just knew this boy was from Louisiana 🤣🤣🤣

Wendy Carlos pictured with the Moog System 55 a staple in her solo projects and iconic film scores, including for Stanley Kubrick’s ‘A Clockwork Orange’ (1972)

One of electronic music’s most important figures, Wendy Carlos is a true pioneer of the craft with countless influential albums and scores. She provided technical advice and insights to Robert Moog during the development of the Moog Synthesizer, an instrument that would revolutionize the music landscape. ⁠⁠Her album ‘Sonic Seasonings’ (1972) is an early example of an ambient record, blending the then-new synth with field recordings to create an entirely new listening experience — years before the term “ambient” was even coined!⁠

Happy Transgender Day of Visibility! I want to highlight the contributions of Wendy Carlos, a trans woman and pioneer of synthesizers. She helped in the development of the Moog synthesizer and is known for her iconic work on the film scores for A Clockwork Orange, The Shining, and Tron. Without her, I likely wouldn’t have as many gizmos, gadgets, and mind-bending sounds to work with as a rock keyboardist, and a lot of my favorite bands, from Pink Floyd to the Decemberists, wouldn’t have the unique sounds they’re known for. Michael Stein and Kyle Dixon, composers of the synth-laden Stranger Things soundtrack, also cite her as a major influence. She also raised awareness of transgender issues by publicly coming out as trans back in 1979.

Thank you, Wendy Carlos, for all your incredible work 🏳️‍⚧️

(Now I just gotta figure out how to get my hands on a copy of Sonic Seasonings.)
