Was at a funeral yesterday in the snow. Someone mentioned “Do not stand at my grave and weep.” Forever recalls the Iveagh gardens for Conor O’Brien’s incredible interpretation. Don’t know if it’s his arrangement but stuck in my head ever since, with Cathy Davey and Lisa Hannigan.
@keithubermensch As a non American I’m grateful to this video for exposing me to accents and cultures I have never seen in mainstream tv or movies. I don’t know how anyone visiting New York would discover these obscure people without the help of a map.
Big mystery how a guy who volunteered to murder people in multiple countries and then became a mercenary ended up not being someone who respects boundaries.
@KweenInYellow Something so insane that you have to try and put yourself in her mind, which is of course impossible. Why does she think the threat is time specific to two years? Does she think his happiness about primary wins, that night, has bubbled up into a murderous time specific rage?
Je suis de très mauvaise humeur. Prendre le RER par 40 degrés, arriver à l’Assemblée et voir qu’on parle… d’immigration.
Vous n’avez que ça à faire parce que vous n’avez que ça à dire. Si on parlait de salaires et de réchauffement climatique plutôt que d’islam et d’immigration, ça fait longtemps que le pays irait mieux.
There is no reliable evidence that Lucy harmed even a single infant. There is no motive. There is counter evidence that she was in fact a great nurse. There is copious evidence of an alternative explanation for the spike in deaths at the Countess of Chester hospital.
the fact that every single persons life is made worse by having shit benches and we're just fine with it out of pure spite for the homeless and means we should probably all die every single one of us
@BareLeft Owen Jones repeated the line he uses about it being the biggest attack on Jews since the holocaust shortly after Oct 7th. That was supposed to be the acceptable way to delegitimise resistance, and it still annoys pundits greatly if you point out it is a racist, ahistorical lie.
This article is hilarious because by shaking off they mean “doing well because of”. I declare a conflict of interest as Cecilia’s brightly coloured best sellers used to be beside the shelf to mine, and the site of their colourful abundance irked me. https://t.co/EomMmd1WiT
@LUSTonyGuo@kilotonics All you fake legal slop youtube guys are really scraping the barrel here. The very obvious and funny angle of a guy helping to set a legal precedent that then fucks him is not available to you, so you're left with this kind of weak sauce. Very sad.
@adamjohnsonCHI Time for another Havana Syndrome deep dive. Excited to see interviews with unnamed shadowy officials with disguised voices saying the brain zapper ray can now reach Miami.
@WillSloanEsq@tamingtigerfilm Be nice if one of these elderly curmudgeons considered if it isn’t themselves that changed. How do you hear yourself make these statements without picturing some old geezer saying it about you 30 years back? Anyway, surprising lack of self awareness for this Tel Aviv resident.
When I lived in France 10 years ago a male celeb was being interviewed on the radio and every few minutes he’d ask this female journalist to come back to his place. She ignored him and kept asking questions, like this just happened all the time and had to be endured as the norm.
PICARD: Data, shields up
DATA: Brilliant! Shields can reduce damage we sustain. Not immunity. Not hubris. Just prudence. It's not precaution—it's strategy.
[camera shakes]
WORF: HULL BREACHES ON NINE DECKS
DATA: Here's what happened: you told me to raise shields, and I didn't
@katheder The first study, which they cite as 36 people is immediately statistically dubious, the second isn’t really about typing at all, simply illustrating how a need to condense a text calls for more concentration i.e obvious, Simplistic overblown claims like this are mostly hokum.
