Sure, but like, weird flex.

I mean that could be complete bullshit, who would know? I’m more inclined to think the sort of person that lists all the books they have supposedly read is probably the same sort of person that is trying to show off and therefore likely to exaggerate a bit.

Either way, good for you if you enjoyed them. Weird to think anyone else would care.

Maybe take one book and talk about how it made you feel, or something.

I’m sure this is true.

However, if someone else offered that list I’d call complete bullshit.

This is so incredibly useful. Thank you.

If you read the paper…

This finding remained robust to the inclusion of covariates describing high-school achievement, intelligence, family background, earnings as adults, as well as mental and physical health in middle adulthood.

But sovereignty, mate.

I mean, this was in 2016.

People made worse decisions that year. A lot of people.

Oh no, I get you. I think we are a similar age.

I was at the Reading Festival in '96 and I think offspring were playing.

There was a slightly older guy stood in the middle of the crowd shouting, you call this punk… This ain’t punk. This ain’t shit.

The kids were laughing at him.

This week in Glasgow Green Day played a gig and all I saw was middle aged men and their daughters wearing matching merch t-shirts.

I’m assuming at some point I travel back in time to '96 to try to stop this.

She may be a Puncke: for many of them, are neither Maid, Widow, nor Wife.

Damn, you really old.

US education system.

Mate, I haven’t forgiven them for google reader.

They killed my boy.

That’s a fair question.

The arts are seen as a luxury and a frippery. They are also seen as elitist.

If you want to defund public services and remain popular, the playbook is to remove the arts first. That way you are demonstrating the order of needs.

That’s not cheese, that’s yellow shrink wrap

Related to another popular post right now…so what was Bruce Dickinson’s ancestor?

It’s 1994. The Bosnian-Serbian conflict is still raging. Some cool dude from the UN peace keepers thinks it would be good to have a concert.

He contacts Bruce Dickinson and says, “wanna play a much needed gig in a warzone?”

Bruce says, “yes”.

Here’s the documentary.

You can’t defund social welfare programmes without defunding the arts first. To defund healthcare you have to defund the arts. To defund schools, you first have to defund the arts.

You know where this is going.

The arts are the canary and it is lying dead at the bottom of the cage.

Adore the darktable gang.

Cretins? Not sure that’s a word you want to use, pal, it’s a pretty bad slur.

Couldn’t let it be could you?

And opposing those actions is not antisemitic.

We take those two things together as truth and we are getting somewhere.

Seconded on round keys.
