Donald Pleasence’s best role.

Is La La Land worth a watch? I love a good musical.

Evangelicals don’t read most of it anyway. There’s literally a recipe for a potion to induce abortion to be given as a test to see if a woman was unfaithful to her husband.

In case an acorn falls to the ground.

It blows my mind that some people on my team were excited to watch the commercials during the Super Bowl.

I live my life in a way that minimizes the advertising I’m exposed to, and some people are just mainlining that garbage.

The Wikipedia article music of Egypt has a decent section on ancient music in the history portion.

But it’s important to remember that ancient Egyptian history is incredibly long and varied. It’s hard to pin down musical styles over thousands of years. The reality is that we don’t really know what the music sounded like, so educated guesses are the closest we can get. Notation would not be invented for thousands of years.

The instruments they used provide most of the insight that we have. Here’s a YouTube video of some people playing reconstructions of period instruments. This would just be a guess at the music, but it is at least informed by later tradition from around the region.

What’s your budget? You can get a ukulele or guitar for fairly cheap, and there are websites full of chords or tabs for songs. You can play hundreds of songs if you just know a few chords.

There are tutorial videos on YouTube to get you started. Play and sing along. You’ll suck at first, but if you keep at it and play every day you’ll get to be pretty good.

“I told you… (deep breath) they all need to have BENCH SEATS in the REAR! WHAT the FUCK do I PAY YOU PEOPLE FOR??? Don’t you KNOW who I AM???”

Hey, those cops look almost as dumb as ours in the US!

Now I’m picturing him being so delighted by you pulling a McChicken from behind his ear that he gives you Iowa.

I got to see Cake live at the Austin City Limits festival. They put on a great show.

I hope I’m a Rowlf but I might be a Gonzo, which isn’t too bad either.

It doesn’t make the best quality, but it’s great to have a kettle around that can brew coffee.

Of course if you quote Jesus’ literal words at these people they start screeching about how the Devil can quote scripture too

I was yelling at some people protesting abortion just before the Dobbs decision, and I found one guy who wanted to argue in front of his wife and daughter.

I asked why the Bible has a recipe for an abortion potion in it, and specifically for unfaithful wives; he said it doesn’t.

I told him “oh, weird. I have the passage pulled up here on my phone.”

With a smug look he replied “I don’t do Bible study with non-believers.”

I told him “okay, I’m sure I can find someone in this crowd who isn’t a coward,” and started to walk away.

He didn’t want to look pathetic in front of his family, so he agreed to let me read it. As I was pulling it up, he said “you probably don’t even know who wrote the book of Numbers.”

I told him “Christian and Jewish tradition points to Moses, but nobody really knows,” and then I read the passage.

When I was done, he said “that said it caused a miscarriage, not an abortion.”

I berated him and told him “that’s what the fuck an abortion is, jackass: an induced miscarriage”

His wife asked then me where I got the boba tea I was drinking. I know I didn’t get through to her numbnuts husband, but I think his family may have learned something that day about the Bible and their paterfamilias.

There are ways of saying that without posting ragebait bullshit.

I see. So you’re spreading it around despite doubting if it’s even true?

Any source on this besides a twit account I’ve never heard of?

I sure wish Pete would save himself.

It tastes like someone fermented trashcan juice in a skunk’s asshole in the dog days of summer.
