Since it's International Men's Day I figured I'd occasionally post some examples of manliness here starting with possibly peak masculinity.

What's the best best-of compilation of Talking Heads?
(I'm a little annoyed at how little representation Remain In Light gets from either of them but that's neither here nor there)

Listened to Monster today for the first time in years (RIP non-hitler Kanye) and pleased to report that Nicki’s verse still destroys every other MC on the track and it’s not close.

![[Scene is a kitchen - a middle aged woman called JANET is boiling peas at the stove. A younger more colourfully dressed woman named LIZ approached her.]
JANET:
Ugh...
LIZ:
What's up?
JANET:
I am so bored of cooking peas!
LIZ:
Have you tried...
AI peas?
JANET:
AI peas?
LIZ:
They're peas with AI!
[Liz holds up to us a packet of peas labelled: Pea-i AI - Peas with AI].
LIZ:
Al-powered peas harness the potential of your peas
JANET:
What
LIZ [Now a voiceover as we cut to a whizzy technology diagram of peas all connected by meaningless dotted lines]
Why not take your peas to the next level with Al Peas' new Al tools to power your peas?
[Show a techno diagram of a pea with a label reading 'AI' pointing to a random zone in it]
LIZ:
Each pea has Al in a way we haven't quite worked out yet but it's fine
[Show Janet and Liz now in a Matrix-style world of peas]
LIZ:
With Al peas you can supercharge productivity and make AI work for your peas!
JANET:
What
LIZ:
Shut up
LIZ:
Our game-changing Pea-Al gives you the freedom to unlock the potential of the power of the future of your peas workflow
From opening the bag of peas
to boiling the peas
to eating the peas
To spending millions on adding Al to the peas and then having to work out what that even means.
JANET:
Is it really necessary to-
LIZ [Grabbing Janet by the collar]:
THE PEAS HAVE GOT AI, JANET
[Cut to an advert ending screen, with the bag of peas and the slogan:
AI PEAS: Just 'Peas' for god's sake buy the AI peas.

Bout to get pulled out of line and interrogated by TSA for having 30 lbs of pure uncut DeCecco in my carry-on. I will *give up carbs completely* before I settle for disgusting American pasta.

When you lose religion and work to get rid of "magical thinking" you develop a weird and often cynical relationship to things like "thoughts and prayers."
But sometimes, the only thing in your power to do is yearn for an outcome, no matter how powerless it feels.
