Ok—makes sense!

Though apparently they're saying that Beau Travail and The Wind Will Carry Us are from this century, even though they came out in 1999? Both would be top 10 for me if so.

I almost threw my phone down at Gleaners being ranked that low.

This reminds me of C.K. Ogden translating a portion of Finnegans Wake into Basic English. Though somehow infinitely worse.

It was online, so 2 just never responded to my email saying I was forwarding the assignment to the academic misconduct committee. The other insisted he wasn’t using AI until I told him that the passage he was analyzing didn’t exist, and then I never heard from him again.

Leprechaun walks into a bar with what appears to be a steering wheel in his pants. Bartender says, “Leprechaun, is that a steering wheel in your pants?” Leprechaun replies, “Ay, and it’s driving me nuts.”

Someone I know saw a production of Three Sisters and the woman in front of her texted through the whole first act and then turned to her and said, “Why do they want to go to Moscow? I’ve been to Moscow. It’s not that great.”

This article, on the other hand, is excellent. www.currentaffairs.org/news/did-bob...

Dylan has a lot of really specific and engaged protest songs! Only a Pawn in Their Game, Lonesome Death of Hattie Carroll, North Country Blues, Oxford Town, Who Killed Davey Moore?, Talkin' John Birch Paranoid Blues, Ballad of Hollis Brown, With God on Our Side, not to mention Hurricane.

And just like the film doesn't mention or include any of Dylan's directly topical and political songs--or his activism at the time--so to does the article neglect any protest songs other than the anthemic "Blowin' in the Wind" and "Times they are a-Changin.'"
