Punched Hitler on the bird site. I did other things. My name is not actually Nolan.
Really thought this one would do better. I do not have my finger on any pulse.
So, a 12
She's a 10 but she makes the "aaaaaaAAHHHHaaaaaa" sound from Led Zeppelin Immigrant Song in bed
Itās especially funny to me, a person who has no compunction just not buying so many things.
āEveryone I donāt like is neurotypicalā is the logical end of at least 90% of discourse online.
Iām more interested in the complex social relationships of Gatherer Bidens
There is a guy in the replies arguing exactly this and heās about as open to other peopleās lived experience as you might expect.
the other day I saw someone say in earnest that āneurotypical people donāt remember their mistakes, only neurodivergent people doā and with the power vested in me I am taking these terms away from everyone for at least a month
Thatās where I, an atheist since I was 13, differ from the NĆ¼ Atheist pack. I donāt think religion in isolation is the tail that wags the morality dog. I think life circumstances and temperament drive exegesis, not vice versa.
In my experience, people choose to express their religion in a way that most matches their politics, not vice versa. If youāre a loving person of faith, your God cares for the downtrodden and loves everyone. If youāre a hateful shitheart, so is your God.
Literally nobody gives a shit about your faith, you Uber-Karen. Itās your politics.
Really saying the quiet part loud here. No one is going to care if you just put a regular religious flag up, but the sight of a pride flag means itās time to fly a fascist dog whistle.
This specific kind of homophobic hate thatās triggered solely by the sight of a pride flag on the other side of a lake is exactly the kind of reveal that should make you comfortable spitting in this fascistās food if you get the chance
For various offline reasons, I am prepared to describe my mood today as āsurly.ā
Thatās awesome. Reminds me of when the Japanese band Pizzicato Five named a compilation āMade in USA,ā which is a city in Japan.
I guarantee you could have used a search engine in 2010 with āsalmon tomato lemon recipeā in the bar and been fine.
I would too. I suspect more Americans know the word than there are people in Japan by now.
It just blows my mind that almost 50 and I may be comics adjacent, but Iāve known that word for decades and every Barnes & Noble has at least an aisleās worth of manga in it, and has for almost as many decades
Reminder that the average age of an NYT commenter is apparently ādeceased.ā
NYT has comment sections for every Wordle and yesterday's Wordle was "MANGA"
Iām just amazed that it took an ai to tell people what to do with salmon and lemons.
Then you get interrupted trying to skeet it because the goddamn cats donāt know itās 5:35 and youāve finally put the cube together and just know that youāre awake but there isnāt food in the bowls. And as you type this your other son is now up.
Parental love: your son screams you awake at 5:15am and it turns out the āemergencyā is that his dollar store Rubikās cube has fallen apart and all 22 separate pieces need to be put together and you just hug him and put it together even though every FIBER of your being is screaming āSLEEP NOW.ā
Shouldnāt though of that before not being born in the correct generation (people whose parents had sex between March 1975 and March 1976)
Like, the āinability to buy a house at or below a certain income level that used to be able toā predates āmillennialsā by some time, though it has intensified over the years.
It must be so draining to be a right wing culture warrior who has to do a deep cultural dive before deciding what he can jerk off to.
Yes! Exactly. Itās multiple threads of pop culture and political moments that people share unequally across all ages.
Isnāt this just Mariska Hargitay?
New rule: gen X proper ends in 1975. Millennials now start in 1977. We bicentennial babies donāt have to pay taxes anymore.
And thereās an argument Iām not sure I can make with real evidence, but in many ways the 60s as we think of them now were over before Woodstock.
Weirdly, I would argue based on history and pop culture the 60s didnāt start until almost 1964.
And that first 80s is also the 70s, just as the last 80s is also the 90s
The best generation is clearly the single year-long ābicentennial babiesā which I think Rusty can attest.
Not only that, but even within the decades every few years there are shifts that are evident when you look for them. You can split the time from basically 1977-2001 into probably at least 3 different, overlapping ā80sā and another three ā90s,ā with, again, blurring at those margins.
I mean that is a live show Iām talking about (the last āZiggyā show).
Ronson was also a hell of an arranger, as well.
To his credit, Steve Marriott of the Small Faces appeared in musicals but also knew how to rock.
I love that Bowie was a Theatre Kid but not really a Musical Theatre Kid. Which is probably why he successfully made rock music in a way most musical theatre kids stumble.
Honestly the real victim was Trevor Bolder on bass. Woody Woodmansey was basically about to quit music for Scientology, and Ronson was about to try a solo career (with Bowieās help!). And Mike Garson was an off and on Bowie collaborator for most of the rest of DBās life)
Itās such a profoundly dick move (I suspect this was around the time he was very much getting into cocaine), but to the bandās credit they immediately played the absolutely pinnacle version of RockānāRoll Suicide from the back foot. Real professional even if the boss wasnāt.
Especially since any time before the flood, no creature ate flesh, per the P-Source.
Clearly you have to go back to the weird common ancestor of mammals, birds, and lizards before thereās an issue, and at that point the kosher time traveler is going to probably just want to go vegan anyway.
Oh and I guess if Ziggy is basically rock musicās premier Christ figure, does that make Marc Bolan its John the Baptist?
Just listened to the solo at the end of the Ziggy Motion Picture soundtrack version of āMoonage Daydreamā and honestly if the whole band straight ascended to heaven in a chariot of fire during that song, I would not have been surprised.
If Bowie is God, then Ronno is clearly an avenging archangel.

Honestly, if I didnāt know your field already, that would not narrow it down much.
