. In the pandemic’s early phase, Sirius XM 68 did something strange.

“In music, a motif is a short musical phrase, musical fragment or succession of notes that has some special importance in or is characteristic of a composition:”

 .2 Sirius XM’s channel 68 played a succession of songs with similar motifs. These sets occurred about 4—5 times within 24 hours, and they lasted approximately 45 minutes.
https://t.co/3b0lkWL0zN
.3 Each song title and artist was different, yet their motifs were similar.
https://t.co/oMgwbU4SAU
.4 The motifs could be arranged differently, creatively, such as, being inverted.
https://t.co/c4w7CuOorx
.5 But the motif was, generally, recognizable.
https://t.co/MGtQXXYTu8
They could be stylized—different genres.

.7 Sometimes, the same writer would write others with similar motif, but would change the key, rhythm, and add other interesting twists.

.8 With extra patience, one can hear the motif that is author stretched……way……out….
https://t.co/sCCkYX7wUk
As you’ve noticed, by now, some of these songwriters would build on this same motif in several of their compositions: copying themselves in a plagiarized motif. Reminds me of all of the innumerable variations of Pachelbel's Canon.

A Columbia U music professor taught a session on music cryptography featuring Tchaikovsky and The Five, who would write messages in music containing a coda.

Summary of Signature Motifs
“The following list includes only motifs which are known to have been used in published works.”
https://t.co/jJFPZ5UbUN
The following are examples of Sirius XM 68’s motif:

Ólafur Arnalds - Near Light
https://t.co/4PYb5aA6tM
Here’s one that teases the motif in the beginning, and the reveals it at 1:39 and onward.
https://t.co/MwJsc0HJRS
Another variation.
(noticing a couple of the advertisements carry the motif.)

ODESZA - Kusanagi

Some motif variations are more obvious than others. I’ve mostly left out the songs that left out notes, but left the space in the tune for the missing note.
https://t.co/fBMxVOKxRT
A change of rhythm.
Anywho, you get the drift. Wonder if this no-longer-occurring string of motifs, on Sirius XM 68, meant anything?

Martine:“…life sciences projects like the Human Genome Project.
She is the founder & chairwoman of the board of United Therapeutics. She was also the CEO of GeoStar & the creator of SiriusXM Satellite Radio. She was the top earning CEO in the biopharmaceutical industry in 2018.”
M Rothblatt (cont.)
..became a convert to Gerard K. O'Neill's "High Frontier" plan for space colonization after analyzing his 1974 Physics Today cover story on the concept as a project for Professor Harland Epps' Topics in Modern Astronomy seminar.

“Rothblatt subsequently became an active member of the L5 Society and its Southern California affiliate of OASIS.”

Somewhere in my tweet history is a fascinating loose connection with (Thomas Stearns) TS Eliot,
D.Barr/J.Epstein, Georgia O ‘Keeffe, the failed Bear Stearns (where D.Barr got Epstein his 2nd real job), UN refugee dept., human trafficking & NYC LGBT movement. Need to recover it.
“After pharmaceuticals, Rothblatt invested in stem-cell-like cancer therapies. She also joined a xenotransplantation project, one that would essentially grow human organs in genetically modified pigs — she owns her own xeno-pig farm called Revivicor.”

IMPORTANCE OF SATYA NARAYAN KATHA AND ITS ORIGIN.

We all have heard and read the Satyanarayan katha. But none of us dont know the original stories that Shatanand or Sadhu or Kalavati must have heard. Also, as a habit we hear or read this katha


but dont know the proper way it should be conducted.

We find its mention in Skanda puraan(Reva khand) and Bhavishya Puraan(Pratisarg parva).
Both Bhagwatam and Gita call Bhagwan Narayan as Satv or Truth. So Satyanarayan denotes this name as the one which is Truth incarnate.

The story began in Naimisharanya when Vyasji asked Sutji about a way to eliminate all the sorrows and fulfill all the desires and about who is the devta who can grant these at the same time.

So Suutji first prayed to Bhagwan Satyanarayan who is no one else but Vishnu ji.

Then he remembered all his avatars.After that he narrated the story of Narad. Once while visiting Mrityulok, Naradji was pained to see the sufferings of People around. He was deeply moved by these sufferings and wanted to know the means by which we could rid ourselves from these.

So he went to Vishnu ji and after paying his respects stood in front of him. Naradji narrated the purpose of his visit.

So Bhagwan Vishnu said to him that in Satyug and Tretayug, Bhagwan eliminates sorrow in Vishnuswarup. In Dwapar he assumes different forms to help people.

Velimalai Kumaraswamy Kshetram
Kumarakovil, #Kanyakumari
#Tamilnadutemples 🚩

Velimalai Kumaraswamy Temple is a Murugan temple located in Kanyakumari District of Tamilnadu.

Muruga faces east and is said to be facing Sthanumalayan (Paramashiva) of Suchindram. Muruga is of


eight feet vigraham and Valli thayar is six feet tall. Eventhough Thiruthani is believed to be the place where Subrahmanya married Valli, it is also believed that Valli’s thayar's marriage took place with Murugan here.

There is a Kalyana Vinayakar sannidhi
who helped Muruga's


marriage with Valli. Kumarakovil is also known as Kumara Kshetram and Subrahmanya Sthala. The Tamil epic Chilapathikaram refers to the temple as Chera Nattu Aeragam

Wedding of Valli and Murugan is celebrated here in the Tamil month of Panguni (March-April).

Om Muruga

First thread of the year because I have time during MCO. As requested, a thread on the gods and spirits of Malay folk religion. Some are indigenous, some are of Indian origin, some have Islamic


Before I begin, it might be worth explaining the Malay conception of the spirit world. At its deepest level, Malay religious belief is animist. All living beings and even certain objects are said to have a soul. Natural phenomena are either controlled by or personified as spirits

Although these beings had to be respected, not all of them were powerful enough to be considered gods. Offerings would be made to the spirits that had greater influence on human life. Spells and incantations would invoke their


Two known examples of such elemental spirits that had god-like status are Raja Angin (king of the wind) and Mambang Tali Arus (spirit of river currents). There were undoubtedly many more which have been lost to time

Contact with ancient India brought the influence of Hinduism and Buddhism to SEA. What we now call Hinduism similarly developed in India out of native animism and the more formal Vedic tradition. This can be seen in the multitude of sacred animals and location-specific Hindu gods

💬 I often get Q’s like these:

How did you get your first customers for WIP? How did you grow BetaList’s traffic? Etc.

Makers are looking to reverse-engineer success. I see it everywhere.

I don’t think it works that way and the answers to those questions are mostly useless. 💥

I have built dozens of different products over the last couple of years. The vast majority failed. 😭

Surely if I know the answers to these questions, but still fail over and over again, these answers aren’t that useful. 🤷‍♀️

So what’s a better question to ask? 🤔

99.9% of the questions I receive are about the products that did well. In a way that makes sense, because we quickly forget about those that didn’t succeed.

🧠 This is known as survivorship bias.

Focusing on what survived, while ignoring what made it survive in the first place.

The real question, what you really want to know, is this:

What makes @WIP, @BetaList, and to some extent @AllStartupJobs succeed where my countless other attempts failed?

What separates a failed product 👎 from a successful product 👍?

Honestly, I don’t know. I wish I did.

It’s like Steve Jobs said “I’ll know it when I see it.” 👀

Same is true when we make products. We don’t know upfront what will work. But once we see an inkling of a product that does have potential, it’s not that hard to spot.
