Change the lyrics to "Sugaree" to "just don't tell em that you know this bitch" consistently

Play "Dark Star," but within 10 seconds of starting the extended jam, the entire band is playing a note perfect cover of Reel 2 Real's "I Like to Move It," transition like a DJ mix into Haddaway's "What Is Love," then return to the end of "Dark Star"

When I'm not broke from buying too many records I'm going to make myself broke from buying too much hay for Babette, and when you're not broke from buying too many records or video games or insulin if you're in the US, you should too

Merrymac Farm Sanctuary @merrymacsanctuary.bsky.social · 3d

Hey! We need hay! Winter is almost here so we need your help to make sure all of our residents are warm and well fed through these harsh months. It is VERY EXPENSIVE but we know we can do it with your help! ❤️ donorbox.org/mmfs-2025-ha...

*old person voice* back in my day, if a president said the phrase "we took the freedom of speech away," we'd have him leaving the White House in the middle of the night with what he could carry

Trump: "We took the freedom of speech away because that's been through the courts and the courts said you have freedom of speech, but what has happened is when they burn a flag it agitates and irritates crowds."

Nostalgia, remembering when a boy was your biggest problem in the world? That's fine in moderation. But I'm not telling people that Chiodos and the Used have better lyrics than Leonard Cohen

I try not to get on the Swiftbashing bandwagon, she's very average. She just isn't very good at evoking complicated emotion, and it doesn't sound like she's improved much over the years, and there are tens of thousands of singer songwriters more deserving.

Francis "Frank" Franck @tommyblacksox.bsky.social · 1d

Her lyrics are really bad, vague and aimless and banal. I don't know why people who aren't 13 think she's a great songwriter.

"no way is Don Juan's Reckless Daughter better than Hejira!" "This is For the Roses erasure!!" "Put Blue at #1 or we will round your kind up for the gulags" thanks, you've contributed nothing to the conversation, but Facebook still sent me a check for 61¢

Lists also promote argument, which turns out to be a big moneymaker on social media

Maybe she meant she's your ESL teacher? And her music is specifically for speakers of English as a second or foreign language?

Francis "Frank" Franck @tommyblacksox.bsky.social · 2d

Depends on the school district, there's probably English teachers out there without a BA in English or literature

I don't follow for the politics, just the jokes. Separate the art and the artist
