a friend's squat in Brixton in the early 90s had a largish placard on the door which said:"When I hear the word jesus, I reach for my revolver..."
Yes, that was horrifying news. It's unfortunate that, despite it being clear that the suspected perpetrator is anti-Islamist and pro-AfD, people are blaming this on Islamist terrorism. And the Musk asshole (who the day before had praised the AfD) calls on the chancellor to resign.
My mom and I rented Mozart and Terror of Mecha-godzilla once and she made me watch Mozart first. Terror of Mecha-godzilla was way better one of the monsters is a giant sea horse!
Don’t be afraid. I wouldn’t ask if I thought you were.

Every time I like a piece of classical music I assume it must have been on the Civ IV soundtrack 🤔
Some people feel that way about GTA ganes, idk, never played
Ah, thank you, but no worries. By the end, he was pretty much checked out. The last year-plus was awful for him. Couldn't do what he loved: read, listen to music, talk literature and world affairs.
Word. So more a relief. Or release. As was when my Nana passed. Everyone wanted to keep her alive for some odd reason, without thinking about how she might feel being trapped. Anyways. Raising a ribbon at the moment.

Historical trivia for December 21st:
* Olde England - St. Thomas Day. The poor went a-begging door to door. Pies made.
* 1911- First use of getaway car in bank robbery, not by professional criminals, but by anarchist Bonnot Gang, France.
* Baltimore - Frank Zappa born, musician - Mothers of Invention, etc. 1940.
* Peetie Wheatstraw, blues musician, dies, East St. Louis, 1941.
* Avant-garde photographer Carl Van Vechten dies, New York City, 1964.
Funny low story...I saw them live 2006 and they did an audience announcement bit where you could yell out stuff and I yelled that my porno DVD was just released. That ended the announcements segment of the show.
There are spikes you can strap around your shoes in case of snow. They don't seem expensive and don't seem to take much space in a bag (I've considered getting that since last time a light sprinkling of snow stopped all public transit, but I'm afraid they might be considered weapons when I go to a show)
Matty, greetings and likewise. Hope you and the family are well.

I'm a little surprised that the conspiracy theorists haven't picked up on the N.B. illness, or the Havana syndrome yet. Those stories are custom - made for them.
No chance in hell this has anything to do with industrial waste. All the corporate paid scientists and government officials have no idea what’s going on. Of course
The people speaking out about uranium mines’ effects in the southwest. Kids growing up under high voltage power lines. Teflon and adhesive production waste. Flame retardants. Plastics oozing into the meats.
Bob Dylan biopic is SOOOO necessary, because I mean, Bob, people gotta know. The big secret of Bob Dylan has to be known. No one's ever hear of that guy. How can that be?!
Elon'a also attempting to fund UK's Reform party, because he thinks he can simply replace the governments of other countries until he has the ones he desires.
True. Musk has no compunctions about putting himself on the world stage just as he is. I would actually prefer to see a slathering rabid dog coming right at me, rather than being concealed and lying in wait, secretly
There's plenty of nice brutalist buildings around Paris too (usually in former strongholds of the communist party). Maybe the producers thought the "brutal" prefix would entice viewers
of course you know the etymology of the word which is french and has nothing to do with "brutal" as in severe or overbearing...it's a technical building term for building in concrete which i forget the french translation of
"béton" has other connotations in french: an old one in '70s slang as verlan for "tomber" especially in "laisse béton", basically "forget about it". Then there's the ubiquity of the material in poor suburbs, which is often referenced in french hip-hop (it's not like these crumbling buildings are getting any better, I live in one)
yes bernhard was recommended to me by an austrian friend a long time ago... i had the voice imitator which is partial inspiration foy nyt poetry and want more but need glasses
