I love all kinds of pizza.

The Cure and Streisand are like two completely different genres of music. Maybe I don't really understand who is fighting.

Tuberville, on the day he was sworn into the US Senate:
"Today I learned that there are three branches of the government: the President, the House, and the Senate."

Donald Trump wanted to move the city of Soeul, which is about the same size as NY city, farther away from the border. As far as I know he still wants to do this.

Those gears will not turn. Was that done on purpose? For some reason?

I didn't realize Boney M was still a thing after they released that Christmas album. It's often the last thing an act ever does before it disappears, release a Christmas album, so the timing was convincing: they were gone.
And yet here they are, like old lost ornaments in an attic box.

Holy Christ that is the 'me' I struggle against, constantly.

Ted Cruz (R-Mrka) once proposed an anti-masturbation bill, which his college room-mate thought was hypocritical, among other things.

For example: the vocals parts could have thrown in some eighth notes and made itself more rhythmically interesting.
Synthesis is wonderful in music but this is just a mashup of two different songs from different genres. It sounds interesting but i won't ever hear it again.

Too much reverb on the vocals. I mean, it sounds like they are singing in a church for Christ's sake.
And low falsetto sounds weird in any context. Please stop doing that.
Sadly, this could have been a great record if only each instrument sought to adapt a little of each other's genre.

Just bought an inexpensive fountain pen last month. So much easier to write with.

Those are amazingly tiny. I am curious to know how they grow.

Interesting. The legal definition of corruption includes the appearance of corruption, because it corrodes institutions. Unless you are in the US Supreme Court, which is immune from such laws.

Someone should counter-propose renaming it as "Trump Gulf". See if Trump will oppose it. See if we can make the ask-issers squirm.

And there's a new strain running around China right now putting peeps in the hospital. Not a Covid-level panic but prolly really nasty for susceptible people.

The "no" was enough. The "bats" thing makes me think you are not serious.

The Rolling Stones did not listen to swing, which was one step removed from them and was their parents' music. They listened to Eddie Cochran as if he were swing's nemesis.
"Bluesmen" went to the UK and impressed the likes of the Rolling Stones and Eric Clapton, who interpreted them.

I think people would have had to be at least 70 years old at the time to have a real memory of him. Kind of the way you would have to be 60 now to remember hearing the Beatles on the radio and to have encountered your parents' records.

It's a good thing that SCOTUS is not required to have a good working understanding of what corruption is, or else many of them would be unqualified for the post.

I believe this all came about because of the A Conan Doyle estate regarding Sherlock Homes, whose personality became more refined and even retconned in later works still protected by copyright.

Always makes me think of Mark Mylod, and the oranges rolling in one of the episodes of GoT that he directed. I'm sure he thought it was visually interesting, but my eyes rolled just as hard as the oranges. Every five minutes, actually. He provides the fuel that helps viewers appeal to Heaven.

Giving your hard-earned money to rich people who have done nothing to deserve it is an American sacrament.

Definitely in the top 28 thousand.
Seriously, when people follow me I assume they are bots until proven otherwise. You want me to follow you back? Respond or post something that shows up in my discovery list.

I have the hard copy. If you revise it... I will probably just amend it with a pen.

How can they listen to all the episodes so far and not know that the title is "A History of Rock Music in 500 Songs."
In my head I hear it in Andrew's voice.

You occasionally introduce me to a fascinating song I barely ever knew, which is part of the charm. And then there's the interesting way you make it then focus of a story.
I can ask Spotify to play me a list of 500 great songs. I assume. Not gonna do that.

Famously, yes. Though the last one was a one-off used in a court filing as a sort of "John Doe" to hide his name. The first two Trump used for extended periods when he pretended to be his own publicist. He fooled almost no one. So yes, he is a weirdo.

Is that follow-baiting? I get random follows but I've learned to ignore them; I assume they are mostly bots. I would never follow anyone unless they at least engaged with me.

Trump knows a mark when he sees one. He even brags about it.

Lincoln had a chlorinated water purification by 1905 that was made famous when it was instituted to stop a typhoid fever epidemic. Other cities soon followed, as it was simple to implement. It was part of the zeitgeist.
It was also known that ozone and chlorine were chemically similar.

Compared to the alternatives it might have well been the most enjoyable way of traveling. The ozone is highly reactive and was probably intended to disinfect the air and maybe reduce odors, perhaps akin to chlorinating a swimming pool.

I always set a chorus, but it has to be close; seven cents is too much. But of course the strings pull on each other, so the gap will narrow anyway. I usually tune one string slightly low and then tune the other for a combined proper result.
