@BlackAzizAnansi I dunno man, OG Naruto went hard with flashbacks, they once had a flashback episode with a flashback to a conversation earlier in that same episode.
Just watched a Thor movie and it struck me how wild it is that we’re still making contemporary stories about characters that were created thousands of years ago.
What’s the oldest character(s) we still make contemporary fiction about? Jesus? Are there contemporary stories of Greek gods? Anything older?
What's one lesson that you learned from 2016 that you would like young people who are able to vote now but were too young to be engaged in 2016 to know?
@BlackAzizAnansi there’s a very clear digital paper trail of damnation that explains exactly how terrible the Republican Party is. Like, there was unambiguous reporting in real time how the Trump administration was constantly obstructing justice. It takes less time than a sporting event to learn about relevant recent history that will impact the politics of your entire lifetime. The reason people tuned out is because there were SO many scandals it took up your time to stay informed.
I’m in a fight with my husband because he somehow doesn't understand that me stomping around the house and dramatically putting in my earbuds to drown out the sound of him eating is CLEARLY an act of passive aggression on my part.
Wednesday: 96 seconds of plank, 20 minutes of #AppleFitness strength training, then 11 minutes of yoga for runners, 5.2 km of #running (8°C), and then 26km of #cycling.
Me: Wednesdays should low-effort days.
Also me: Strength training, yoga, a close-to-all-out run, and cycling.
<sighs>
In my defence, I figured a short, higher intensity run probably wasn't a bad idea; nearly 11km/hr @ 166 steps/minute, and I tried to stay on the balls of my feet. This was really hard. 🤔
The thread is now so long it is increasingly breaking Mastodon, so I am making a new thread, starting here.
To recap, here's the entirety of the year-one thread in the most impractical possible format: A YouTube playlist containing 246 songs and running for just over 47 hours:
@mcc I’ve been reading Knowledge Magazine’s 25th anniversary collection and your DnB posts are really hitting the spot alongside this book of interviews. Have you read it?
@LiberalEd@pluralistic “These fat drunks love poison in their water!” I often wonder if it’s a matter of deliberately sabotaging public trust in an institution to then subsequently justify removal of the regulatory body, or if bad actors just pick shots where they can get them. I guess it doesn’t matter, doesn’t change the necessary work to hold people accountable.
@mrcompletely@RowinSpeez I meant lyrically, but I’ll take any facet of songwriting. I like your examples, mine were basically the songs titled (insert anything here) Blues,. What else comes mind is the song Hip-Hop by Dead Prez, or that song that just has the chorus that goes “Counnnnnntraaaaaay”
@GottaLaff They already said out loud they aren’t trying to win elections with voters, they’re going all-in on attacking election administration. That’s why Trump is seizing this particular institution, it was the first thing his crony-in-law said, attacking election integrity.
@Saltssaltgirl literally everything that you can fit in it. All stars for me have been onion rings and fries obv. But also pizza leftovers, chicken wings, broccoli, sweet potato, spring rolls, arancini, souvlaki, garlic bread. Sky’s the limit.
