@theblkrecluse G minor is an unsettling key! Kinda suspends itself and makes you feel like there’s more to the story! That’s really my personal opinion but a lot of classical pieces in it are spooky!
@theblkrecluse YES. The hymnal section at the end is sooo good. It really helps you picture the finality of what folks thought was Christ’s death. Also it being in G minor adds to it I fear!
George Orwell worried that a shrinking vocabulary would eventually produce a shrinking range of thought.

Recently went no contact with my paternal family and Kelela really said “here you go boo.”
“Love you but I can’t today. You kiss me, I’ll turn away…I’m trying not to lose my sight, when to walk and when to fight.”
Every time I see Cynthia spread eagle smoking a cigar I think about the Helmut Newton photos that he created with Polly Mellen. Cynthia is such a model she can’t help herself.
Former CIA officer John Kiriakou dropped the scariest sleeper agent story you’ll ever hear.
The Russians (and others) take kids basically from birth, rip them from their families, and raise them in fake American towns deep in Russia. American food, American TV, perfect American accent — the whole thing.
Then they steal the identity of a dead American baby, get them a legit passport and Social Security number, and drop them into the U.S.
They live normal lives for decades — travel agent, dad, neighbor, until one day they get “activated.”A coded radio message. Or a stranger whispering in their ear on the subway:
“Report back… or I have to kill you.”
One guy turned himself in to the FBI the second his daughter was born. He couldn’t do it anymore.
This stuff is happening. How many “Americans” around you right now are actually waiting for that call?
