- Hey @normeisen.bsky.social et al, you wrote a paper in Dec 2016 foretelling Trump's steamrolling of the Emoluments Clause, and proposed some solutions, starting with the Electoral College and ending with Congress standing up to him. Nah. It seems utterly unenforceable.
- My favorite note in all orchestral music is a contrabassoon low D-flat, holding up a D-flat minor arpeggio, towards the end of Brahms' First Symphony. Nothing else in the two octaves above it, and a rich, warm resonance is the result. Measure 373 if you want to look. #classicalmusic
