Those suits are spendy! But if that guy wants to cough up the money for a quality fursuit, then of course I'm all ears, snout, paws, tail, etc.

Whelp time to look up an explainer, cuz I got lost somewhere along the way there 😅 is this about nationalism? Double think? Propaganda? What was with all the white people in race-swapped costumes? What did U Boats and Afghanistan have to do with anything? Much to consider.

I love this, what on earth is happening? This feels so bottled up, and you can never trust one protagonist to be sane. Really wonder how this ones gonna resolve.

Pontypool (2008)

When disc jockey Grant Mazzy reports to his basement radio station in the Canadian town of Pontypool, he thinks it's just another day at work. But when he hears reports of a virus that turns people in...

Just now considering the irony of writing about Protest the Hero (a notably Canadian band) for that particular course.

AI is a skill issue. In college, aided solely by a pot of black coffee and my love for music, I wrote my final paper for History of American Popular Music the night before its due date. The instructor asked to keep it as an example for future students 🤓

In grad school I got called "dedicated" for emailing a draft of an 20 page article to a professor at around 5am. I had started it around 7 the previous evening and gone through 3 pots of coffee and a pack of cigarettes.

I wrote a 15 page report on heraldic symbolism in medieval armor and weapon design for my art history class the night before it was due (8am class). Made up 90% of it (only found one book for reference) and got an A. GenAI could fucking never.

Sorry bud, but if you make it to the Twin Ports, then you're still 90 minutes south of me and the iron-livered Protestants that I call kin.

City folk from Minnesota calling Duluth "the Iron Range."

What’s the word where you’re from that, when pronounced exactly as it looks, identifies a tourist immediately?

Pokegama, or outing yourself by saying "Minne-an-apolis"

Respectfully disagree; i love that hook and its so somber, plus Christine was ahead of the "daddy" game.

Fascinated by what "anti-batwing" could mean

Are there any other examples of all-timer albums that start with track 1 being the worst song on the record?

As predictable as a bowel movement, and only half as pleasant.

Yea its generally an antibiotic and some pain killer until you can find an urgent dentist appt. I've had giod luck getting in same day or next. Bringing up your pain scale and a doctor's order can help you get a foot in the door in that regard.

Whoa, never seen a cut like that before! Yea definitely wouldnt wanna wear that in the lab 😅 lets compromise and try these in a crop top lol

I bought a set of Dickies scrubs, and they're easily the worst premium scrubs i've ever worn. A shame that a work wear brand can get thread bare so easily.
