Holy crap.

Just heard Two Evils by Bastille for the first time this morning.

Want to hear what amounts to classic blues sung by a guy with fantastic range?

BOOM.

@feld Mainly just the singles I’ve heard on the radio. One of which was something of an ear worm for me this morning, leading to the discovery of some of his other stuff.
Can’t fault the singer on his range, that’s for damn sure.

Just reminded that part of the reason I’m so tired of seeing the Leafs play Boston in the playoffs, beyond having seen it so many times recently, is because of how frustratingly dirty some of the Boston players are.

Marchand is hugely talented, but rather than just letting that do the talking for him, he’s always gotten in the cheapest, dickish shots on the opposing team instead. And McAvoy isn’t far behind.

@willaful We’re pretty sure he was previously abused, so trust is still getting built. But then all the boops will certainly be booped.

@willaful He’s already settling in nicely. Much patient training (for him and using ) still needed, but he’s already making surprisingly good progress.

Reminded myself today to not think there’s an issue with the unwitting messenger throwing a spotlight on my flaws, but to focus on dealing with those flaws.

@the_etrain I couldn’t not look up “Jacked Jesus” to see what images resulted, and this was the first.

@the_etrain Oh, there are others. I just don’t have the time to alt text them all or I’d throw a bunch more in here.

Not sure if my favourite is the one of a sad jacked Jesus looking at a small meal and the words above him saying “He didn’t die for your sins just so you could die of dehydration” (?!), or the actual Korean statue of him, as one place put it, “… so jacked it looks like his last supper was pure protein”.

With every new grain of knowledge archeologists present to us about dinosaurs (lack of mobility, feathers, etc.), I become more and more convinced that someone skilled in the art of Capoeira could easily defeat a t-rex in combat

@healyn @babe That’s a UFC fight I may actually want to watch.

Looking for a comedy podcast?
Done live in front of an audience?
And with no lack of swearing?

May I humbly recommend this episode of I Don’t Know About That with Jim Jefferies.

It won’t be everyone’s thing, to say the least. But holy crap, it had me laughing hard a bunch of times.

Good stuff.

So not only am I dealing on the daily with drivers not wanting to wait in a long line of cars so they head farther up in the next lane over and then jam in, but today I saw someone one-upping even that, going around the second bumper-to-bumper lane in the oncoming traffic lane to push in farther up.

This escalation could only possibly end well.

@rephlex00 @the_etrain If it doesn’t take up at least a parking space and a quarter, is it even a truck?

I try not to pay attention to the constant, never-ending, inexorable stream of adverts being beamed into my face. But this one for yoghurt makes me crazy. It's called Fage. It's clearly called Fage. Only they're insisting it's pronounced 'Faya' (fire). I am sure this is retrofitted and refuse to believe anyone is calling it Faya. Stop lying to us, yoghurt people.

reay,
@reay@mastodon.social avatar

@TheBreadmonkey I’d be thrown enough by whether or not they want me to pronounce it with a soft G and what that’s supposed to make it (“Goddammit, does it rhyme with egg or page or portage? And whatever the answer, why didn’t they make it more obvious?”), but “Faya” is right out.

As I was shaving I noticed in the mirror that when it was down to a goatee of shaving cream, I didn’t not look like Col. Sanders.

I think I have an idea for a new side hustle.

Does anyone know of any language learning programs for learning European Portuguese (vs. Brazilian Portuguese)?
