in 2020 I was pushing my kid on a swing at the playground on McDonald Avenue in Kensington and I looked at my phone and turned to my wife and said "Biden won" and she said "Biden won???" and another mom standing next to her said "BIDEN WON??" and then all the cab drivers started honking at once

I just realized that every podcast is going to have the mirror universe version of that episode after It Happens. everyone is going to sound buzzed as hell. "Now ah ha ha NORMALLY we stick to talking about roller coasters. Ah ha ha, you know. BUUUUUUT...."

Also the yellow Deutsche Gramophon ones are a good bet

Canti Nel Chiostro: Musica nei Monasteri Femminili di Bologna by Cappella Artemisia & Candace Smith on Apple Music Album · 2013 · 18 Songs

its really good

cd cover reading TACTUS CANTI NEL CHIOSTRO Musiche nei monasteri femminili del '600 a Bologna CAPPELLA ARTEMESIA diretta da Candace Smith this is over a medieval-period (?) painting of a nun playing a cello or double bass while another nun plays the harpiscord and another conducts with a rolled up sheet of paper

listening to albums where the covers look like this is an absolute load-bearing pillar for my mental health. if i didnt have brown albums i would lose my shit

Why aren’t the young people watching “Mannix” reruns?

I’ll be following this developing story very closely

ahaha malabrigo arroyo carnivale!

*chuckling* we in the pissmaxxing community call that piss 1.0

also the line after "I was horribly wrong about this..." is always "so let ME tell YOU people who were NOT horribly wrong about this how you're big idiots who are fucking everything up, and you need to listen to ME!"

Until recently, I thought nothing stood in the way of napoleon becoming master of europe

not at all bewildering that people are asking if it matters who was right about ICE at the same time the same crowd is proposing retraining and “reform.” do you want to get rid of the klan or do you want to give the klan more paperwork

a huge amount of American political pathology is because there's a system on concentric circles of Marks, and each layer is convinced that everyone below them are the actual Marks

and the way that the media sold the Trump campaign - which was different from the incoherent campaign itself - was "don't pay attention to what Trump is saying or doing, this will fix the economy, you're a smart guy, you get it" and thousands of huge dipshits were like "I AM a smart guy!!!"

I found out about it from an Actual Play podcast and I was kind of like "I don't know if I want to buy the gamebook and read it myself in case anyone ever runs a game of it for me" but like... the podcast has 120 episodes playing it. This is not gonna happen to me in this lifetime

so there is this megadungeon for old school tabletop roleplaying games - basically like early Dungeons and Dragons rules - written by a history professor. It is six volumes and over 1110 pages long and is apparently the pinnacle of the art

on some level im kind of surprised these guys do this like 1790s National Character stuff because like where are they even getting it. they don't read and they don't know that history exists!! is there a Little Golden Book about the Passionate Italian out there somewhere?
