This is honestly a great album

Chica Marx @mckenziewark.bsky.social · 1d

I'd rather talk about music by ppl who live in my actual world, who I can go hear without paying exorbitant ticket prices. Who make music that connects to my life. This new @junglist.bsky.social album, for example. It slaps. hannahaccount.bandcamp.com/album/echo-w...

Tbf there's this story in (I think it's) one of the original Realm of Chaos books where an inquisitor goes mad because he stole the desk of a chaos sorcerer and it had a chaos pattern in the wood, and I do get the attraction of nice furniture though

Oh that ever-changing pattern that's suggestive of unfathomable secrets keeps sending people mad? Better paint it on all my interior walls.

Yeah I never got why people would hear voices telling them to put evil flies in people or collect skulls with the tops sawn off and just... do it? Idiots

Yes. Digital creatures are incorporeal and thus closer in resemblance to the Divine Ideas than humanity, clothed as we are in sinful flesh. More angel than ape, Clippy does not merely have a soul: he has more of a soul than you or I

Does this creature have a soul

First Woman Appointed Archbishop of Canterbury - The Living Church

Sarah Mullally, Bishop of London, is seen by many as a “safe pair of hands,” a capable administrator who listens deeply and seeks compromise.

I also hate that this is still kinda one of my top songs on the album

Nicolete Burbach @nicoleteburbach.bsky.social · 4d

Taylor Swift did say she wanted this album to move away from TPD's more introspective style, so I get why she spent months workshopping a song about how obsessed Charlie XCX is with her and how much she doesn't care

the specific language of “break bread with” and “visit him in prison” is so striking to me, used in condemnation this way

Matt Novak @paleofuture.bsky.social · 6d

DHS includes a bunch of false and defamatory statements in their tweet about Kilmar Abrego Garcia as they prepare to send him to Uganda.

DHS: With today's ruling, Kilmar Abrego Garcia's final order of removal stands.
This MS-13 gang member, human trafficker, domestic abuser, and child predator will never be loose on American streets.
His lawyers tried to fight his removal from the U.S. but one thing is certain, this Salvadoran man is not going to be able to remain in our country. He will never be allowed to prey on innocent Americans again.
Never forget the Democrats flew to a foreign land on the US taxpayer's dime to break bread with this terrorist gang member and visit him in prison. While they continue to fight for criminal illegal aliens, we will continue to put the safety of the American people FIRST.

Ah yes inadequate SEND provision is definitely the fault of activists watering down expectations. I'm sure if we go back 10 years before all this nonsense started we'll find that schools were widely equipped to meet the profoundest needs, with well-trained staff & carefully tailored plans all round

For my friend's brithday, I'm making him a special copy of Lord of the Rings, where every song is replaced with the Supercar theme. So dar I'm up to page 377.

Page 377 of Lord of the Rings, where the Fellowship leave Lórien in a beautiful melancholy, and Galadriel sings her final farewell...

With beauty and grace
As swift as can be
Watch it flying through the air
It travels in space or under the sea
And it can journey anywhere
Supercar
Supercar
It travels on land
Or roams the skies,
Through a heavens’ stormy rage
It's Mercury-manned
And everyone cries it's the marvel of the age
Supercar
Supercar
SUPERCAR

F# A F#

Watch it flying through the air,

E F# A F# E

It travels in space, or under the sea,

F# A F#

And it can journey any - where,

[Chorus]

C

Supercar-----! Supercar-----!

[Verse 2]

C Eb C Bb

It travels on land, or roams the skies,

C Eb C

Through a heaven's stormy rage,

Bb C Eb C Bb

It's Mercury-manned, and everyone cries,

C Eb C

"It's the marvel of the age!"

It's supposed to be about the sexual exploitation of immigrants, but I think the possibility of reading it as a trans story (instead?) can be illuminating in itself

Have you seen The Lure? It's a retelling of the Little Mermaid, which (under one reading) is a warning about surrendering one's monstrosity for treacherous cis affection
