There's a chess grandmaster who has been peak sitting on his online rating in a chess variant called King Of The Hill for over 3 months. He ignores all challenges.
“Is it OK, Agent Cooper, if I sit down.”
Yeah Woodward, just keep ignoring the challenge, what a champ...
Christopher's full circle and faith
Hi Guys, I thought I'd share with you an old post I made/observation.
When Tony and Chris are at Ralph's house killing time before they can dispose of the body at night, they chat about Chris bringing a child into this world with Ade and then Tony lying to Chris about finishing off Ralph after finding him there in that beaten-down state. Two very important things are said that come back full circle to Chris's death. First, Tony responds about a possible baby saying, "either jump in with both feet or don't....I'll tell you one thing, you can't be high on skeg and have children." (Tony's beliefs of being a serious parent + the mangled baby-seat and Chris telling him he won't pass the drug test). So first there's that refrence, but then MOST IMPORTANTLY these are Tony's exact words about Ralph:
"Listen about this fuckin' guy.., came over, he was still moving, died almost right away, the ambulance wouldn't have helped him anyway..."
I don't think I need to reiterate how hauntingly this came true for Chris's own demise.

Watching Widow's Bay for first time while playing King Of The Hill Chess
The rules are just like regular chess but if you get your king to the middle you win instantly. Loving the show so far.
Explain to me in simple terms please

My Holy Grail Top Ten Third Stream Albums (Kind Of)
Hi Guys!
I compiled a chart of my favorite third stream albums. Purists would argue some of these are not third stream, to clarify: I stretched the definition to include albums that share the same spirit and aesthetic, rather than only recordings that musicologists would classify as Third Stream.
My preference for choosing this music was that is cinematic, melancholic, impressionistic, and spiritually resonant rather than overtly virtuosic.
Here is the playlist with *most* of the albums, that were available on Spotify:
https://open.spotify.com/playlist/5VMHdgj3bMBTo4RtR6pmZD?si=uzSrhM2RQTmzl5yCIPZbYw
The list goes:
Jimmy Giuffre – Fusion (1961)
George Russell – New York, N.Y. (1959)
Ran Blake & Jeanne Lee – The Newest Sound Around (1962)
Michael Garrick – Promises (1965)
Kenny Wheeler – Deer Wan (1977)
John Surman – Road to Saint Ives (1990)
Norma Winstone – Somewhere Called Home (1987)
Ralph Towner – Solstice (1975)
Arild Andersen – Shimri (1977)
Claus Ogerman with Bill Evans – Symbiosis (1974)
Finally, I wanted to tell you my reddit account Hill_Theory from which I previously posted my top ten jazz albums of all time was closed by reddit for some reason I don't know why. So I don't know how long this post might stay up. I am a long time lurker of this subreddit so I will just read it offline if it happens again (shrug).
Thanks for looking!
