The music video for that song really undermined it from the get-go.

This week is a great time to remember that the Indigenous peoples of this land are still here and still vibrant (and also make some kickass music). #landback

The original version of Waterhouse’s painting “Ulysses and the Sirens.”

Note the differences.

Disappointing that they use an AI-generated version of Waterhouse’s “Ulysses & the Sirens” on the promotional flyer for this.

LAND ACKNOWLEDGEMENT MSU LAND ACKNOWLEDGEMENT Michigan State University's campus is located in what is called Nkwejong by the Anishinaabeg. Michigan State University occupies the ancestral, traditional, and contemporary Lands of the Anishinaabeg - Three Fires Confederacy of Ojibwe, Odawa, and Bodéwadmi peoples. The University's campus resides on the traditional Lands of the Saginaw Band of Chippewa, ceded under coercive or violent circumstances in the 1819 Treaty of Saginaw. Michigan State University is supported through the Land Grant Act, where 10.7 million acres were taken from 245 Tribal nations through the treaty system to fund and establish agricultural colleges. Michigan State University was established on and with 235,193 acres of Anishinaabe Land ceded in the 1819 Treaty of Saginaw and the 1836 Treaty of Washington. Michigan State University recognizes, supports, and advocates for the sovereignty of Anishinaabe Nations from the Great Lakes area, for historic Indigenous communities in Michigan, for Indigenous individuals and communities who live here now, and for those who were forcibly removed from their homelands. By offering this Land Acknowledgement, we affirm Indigenous sovereignty and will work to hold ourselves more accountable to the needs of Indigenous peoples and to the creation of equitable and fair policies for years to come.

Today’s Metal & Premodernity class examined the reception of North American indigenous themes, the problematic narratives of white European bands like Europe & Iron Maiden, & how indigenous bands like M.I.S., Pan-Amerikan Native Front, & Blackbraid reclaim their narratives, voice, & heritage.

The recipe said to use bread dough. It's essenially dumplings, which I believe is traditional in this dish from what I can tell.

It was just for French bread.

For the dumplings I just bought one of those premade doughs in a cardboard cylinder that you unwrap & it pops open. Lot less messy.

Variations of this dish use various internal organs of sheep, but standard beef (I used chuck roast) is fine.

I will likely do that when I have finished the challenge. Most of the time when I cook it’s the next dish of this challenge (except when my partner requests something else). I started this July last year & won’t finish for well over another year.

I haven’t ranked anything yet, because I don’t want to give the impression that one country’s representative dish is inferior to any other’s, when it’s more likely I just didn’t execute the recipe properly.

87 down, 108 to go.

They themselves refuse the "Viking metal" label, and it's true that many Viking metal bands do have some musical similarities in addition to lyrical.

Are you implying that they're already drunk?

Harvard brutalizes students protesting a genocide but treat their professors with Epstein ties with kid gloves.

3 men arrested in Algeria for attemtping to enter Spain disguised as sheep.

If they had paid attention in school they would have known it works better to hide under real sheep.

Just to clarify, I'm not necessarily accepting or defending the validity of "pirate metal" as a subgenre. One reason I'm doing this unit is because that will be part of my class's discussion next week, i.e. whether lyrical themes alone can consititute a subgenre, or just a term of convenience.

Fine.

See my previous reply.

I'm aware of this, but there are plenty of bads that make piracy their main theme (cf. Viking metal), and some of my students wanted to have a day on this topic.
