[buffyfan145]

So I saw some AEW/ROH fans getting confused about how Kevin Von Erich's sons are not using Rush's "Tom Sawyer" as their entrance music but they actually are using their dad's solo music as he used Ted Nugent's "Stranglehold" for his solo matches. Each of the Von Erich brothers had different solo music expect Kerry as he still used "Tom Sawyer" (though his first was "Call Me" by Blondie) but they all used that one when they wrestled as a tag team. You can hear their music in some YT videos that fans have uploaded, as on Peacock they aren't allowed to since they didn't have the copyright approval back then. David's solo music was first "Fire and Ice" by Pat Benatar then "La Grange" by ZZ Top, Mike's was "Warriors" by Thin Lizzy, and even the fake "cousin" Lance used "Hurts so Good" by John Mellencamp and "Tough Enough" by the Fabolous Thunderbirds. Couldn't find Chris' music though but he didn't wrestle that much. Really great choices though not just them but the other WCCW wrestlers, similar to how the WWE wrestlers used actual songs back in the early 80s too before getting custom made ones by the 90s. Though I'm happy now it's much easier for wrestlers to use whatever music they want now too again as it makes it even more fun as a fan.

Hmm I was watching this video https://youtu.be/DHF8LdiFhW8?si=U3QcuoufihSLEONt

And in the comments they pointed out that parents of the 50’s were children on the Great Depression. Which got me thinking

As you know a lot of people who came from poverty goes crazy when they get famous or successful. The…black community is like that as we can barely comprehend so much wealth at once. Not all as many are slick enough to start their own record labels, clothing, etc.

But that comment got me thinking about the great generation. I can only imagine how crazy they went with the fact they grew up in the Great Depression and then boom the USA is on top of the world. Then they sent their kids to college who got brained that Kinsey studies was good for society.

Yes I know the previous generations prior to boomers had libidos, I mean look at Walt’s and his colleagues/competitors works when the female body got more defined in cartoons.

But we really need to look into the boomers upbringings and their parents prior to prevent another one.

I wish this was the stawman it looks like but I've seen this all before on here.

Wonder if they'd be terribly shocked at how much "GAY" was ignored in the 50's and beyond.

Couple of teachers at the Christian (ND but Pentecostal run) school I went to, ladies that had a duplex they rented next to each other and always had neither one married or dated that anyone knew of and they were just "really good friends" and had been forever. Both taught 5th grade too.

Didn't even click for me what was likely going on till I was in my 20's and they drifted into my head for some reason, but ya that was in the 80's that was going on.

The arguments about divorce and women not having their own bank accounts honestly hold a lot more water.

The…black community is like that as we can barely comprehend so much wealth at once. Not all as many are slick enough to start their own record labels, clothing, etc.

Herb from "Peaches and Herb" was working well here

"Once again, Fame returned to law enforcement and joined the U.S. Marshals Service in 1986 as a deputized court security officer at the U.S. Court of Appeals for Veterans Claims."

Big part of that I think was him getting shafted on royalties, but initial payouts still should have kept him comfortably middle class for life after the 3rd peaches.

Then we have MC Hammer and Mike Tyson, though being shit with handling money and the fame that comes with it isn't exclusive to any one group regardless of the demographic they're in.

Thankfully the lawyers and accountants are getting better at convincing people to knock it the fuck off so we don't wind up with.

To be fair to Willie his accountants had screwed him and there were some bad investments, oversight of accountants is also part of the bit above this with the getting them to knock it the fuck off part.

Ted Nugent ran into similar, but the accountants had made some really bad investments instead of just flat out not paying his taxes for years.

But ya guys like Dre, Jay Z, Beyonce, and Rhianna from that end of the spectrum have done very well, Michael Jackson for all his eccentricity made some great investments that should be enough to keep his grandkids doing wonderfully even. (as long as they still have half the Beatles catalouge at least)

As for libidos, we been horny since the dawn of horns it got played down some round WW1 or so and people started to reset their memories, there's some nasty stuff out there from the Victorian to Edwardian ages.

if mo punched their GOALIE ? we would get a LINE BRAWL

i think this is like... specifically an Event tbh. like... okay, it's 2018. january, some western league guy their age is a calder favourite. oilers and leafs playing each other for the first time this season, mcdavid's won his first hart. willy does one of his classic Willy Rushes and stops right next to mike smith, a notoriously foul-tempered bastard -- in our universe, mike smith won't become an oiler for another few years. in this one, they trade for him now. it is one of their better decisions (that, as oiler decisions often are, will become worse later.)

smith hisses something at willy that makes him clench his jaw and skate away. he is composed. he is trying to be composed.

you see, up until now, the oilers and leafs have been civil. not very civil, but civil -- an extra slashing or roughing call a game, an extra couple of chirps, an uptick in hits, but it's two games a year so people don't notice. but the players do. and the players all know why.

(or, a select few of them know why. ryan nugent-hopkins asks to take faceoffs against stromer whenever he can. connor cannot tell him how much this both helps and hurts.)

the leafs get a power play soon, nothing too spectacular. offensive zone trip, not malicious, they just happen. bit of a dive from naz, but that's kind of his specialty. the power play is different, though, the leafs' clean, almost too-perfect setup made a mess by the oilers' pkers, and the leafs play harder and harder until all nine skaters and smith end up in the crease. mike gives willy a shove, a gentle movement out of the crease

(--slightly less than gentle, but this is hockey--)

and morgan, who will not abide, just snaps. goes for him. he's been patient, he thinks, in the split second between his glove coming off his hand and his hand connecting with smith's unmasked, unprotected cheek. he's waited to see if the guys will let this calm down on their own, but it is left to rot and there is nothing we can do but turn the log over and expose what is underneath.

the line brawl lasts twenty minutes. morgan is suspended, clay keller loses a fang. there's an image, almost famous, of leon, the sole face turned towards the camera as oilers and leafs alike surround the net, with his lip split and a perfect, blood-red stream bisecting his chin, dripping onto his jersey. there is another smear of blood on his forehead. it is obviously not his.

Liam Grant — Amoskeag (Carbon/Feeding Tube)

The dedication on the back of Amoskeag reads, “For those who can no longer tell the old stories.” It suggests an attitude towards the past that manifests on each of the album’s six tunes. If Liam Grant had something to say about mid-20th century literary criticism, he might suggest that you take your copy of The Anxiety Of Influence and use it to stop a door that needs to stay open. He’s not paralyzed by the notion that all of the good ideas have already been stated. No, works of the past animate him, and he’s keen to return them the favor.

Amoskeag offers raga-inspired fantasias and old time-steeped invitations to kick up your hoofs, balancing winding reverie with convivial celebration. Which is not to say that Grant is a strict revivalist. Admittedly, Grant’s antecedents are easy to name. If you have spent some time tuned into the Takoma School guitar resurgence of the aughts, you’ll know that he’s working with a tumbler full of Jack Rose poured over the rocks of Glenn Jones, with some of their inspirations and successors stirred in to make a brew that is pungent, familiar and satisfying. The opener, “Stratton-Eustis,” has the same light out for parts unknown vibe as “Cross The North Fork,” and “Last Night On Dead River” sounds like a half-remembered rendition of “Dark Was The Night, Cold Was The Ground” laid over “Sundogs.”

Not only does Amoskeag echo the sounds that Jack Rose drew from wood and wire, half the LP features the playing of Mike Gangloff, who played with Rose in Pelt and Black Twig Pickers. But Rose is over a decade gone, and there’s still a big hole that needs filling, so if Grant does that job for a while, let’s just say that he does a good job. And since he’s in his early 20s, it’s possible that the what he sounds like now is not where he’ll end up; consider how far Cian Nugent and Daniel Bachman have traveled from their first efforts. He might find some more personal stories of his own to add to the ones he recounts so well.

Just realizing I've never plugged my Grateful Dead podcast

For the last two and a half years, I've been co-hosting the Help on the Way podcast. Every week, we get a random Grateful Dead show (totally random, some weeks it's May 77, some weeks it's July 95), and we comment on the show. It's kinda Mystery Science Theatre 3000 for Deadheads.

Over the last year or so, we started having on really cool guests, so I want to especially highlight those episodes :

Betty Cantor-Jackson:

Jay Blakesberg:

Charlie Miller:

Mike from Guess the Year:

Zach Nugent:

David Gans:

Anyway, enjoy! Getting to say "I interviewed Betty Cantor-Jackson" is one of the wildest things to have happened to me in the last year.

'Netflix's "Ripley" has arrived. The eight-episode series premiered Thursday on Netflix and is a fresh take on Patricia Highsmith's chameleon-like conman, who the world was first introduced to in her 1955 novel, "The Talented Mr. Ripley."...

Like Anthony Minghella's 1999 sun-dappled adaptation, which starred Matt Damon in the central role, and the French take on the story "Purple Noon" released in 1960, "Ripley" follows the titular grifter (Andrew Scott) as he ingratiates himself into the life of two wealthy Americans living la dolce vita on a never-ending vacation in Italy.

Critics have praised the series, citing its striking film noir visuals and compelling cast performances. But for some, the pacing of the show is an issue; the slow, almost languid nature of the episodes (the longest of which clocks in at 76 minutes) means it's not necessarily one you could — or should — sit down and binge in one go.

As many critics have pointed out, "Ripley" indulges in every minute of its almost eight-hour run time. It may take a few episodes to engross audience members, but it's well worth the ride.

The Financial Times' Dan Einav noted that the series "takes its time to establish each location with a scene-setting collage of images," pointing out "wonderful details like the liver-spotted hand of a bus driver shifting gear to climb up towards Dickie's village and the bubbles of champagne in Ripley's glass as he acclimatises to a new life."

"The careful mapping of Tom's every move, whether in furtherance of his deceit or the covering up of his crimes, allows the tension to mount exquisitely," Lucy Mangan wrote for The Guardian.

"This kind of meticulous artistry deserves equally attentive viewing," Lena Wilson argued for IGN, adding: "Despite streaming in full on Netflix, 'Ripley' works best when watched in moderation."

However, Aramide Tinubu, writing for Variety, disagreed, arguing that "the episodes are painfully overlong and full of dead space."

"'Ripley' unfolds too slowly — as the trail of events attracts the attention of an Italian detective (Maurizio Lombardi) — while creating the risk that some people will bail out before the series reaches the good stuff," CNN's critic Brian Lowry stated.

In her review of the series for BBC, Caryn James wrote that Andrew Scott "brings a hum of sinister energy to the role of Tom Ripley."

The New York Times's Mike Hale said the Irish actor "does a meticulous job of portraying Ripley's transition from shifty timidity to insolent confidence, from lost boy to aesthete, through subtle shifts of expression and posture."

"Charismatic and scary in equal measure, Scott has never been better, and he's aided in his exceptional cause by Zaillian, whose writing is razor-sharp and his direction just as assured," the Daily Beast's Nick Schager said in his review.

But, as Daniel Fienberg wrote in his review for The Hollywood Reporter, Scott is "too old" to play the fledgling sociopath.

"It's one thing for Tom Ripley to be an unformed if still protean grifter at 21 or 22, but another thing still to be scraping by without an identity at 35," he argued...

"In an era where huge TV budgets often equate to cheap-looking visuals, Ripley is staggeringly, starkly beautiful," John Nugent wrote for Empire.

Cary Darling, writing for The Houston Chronicle, said that Elswit's monochrome palette is "almost a character of its own, one that throws the story into a sharp, film-noir relief."

Writing for Collider, Remus Noronha stated: "Every shot in 'Ripley' is perfectly composed, worthy of being showcased in a gallery as high art."

Ultimately, "Ripley" feels like it has been cut from an entirely different cloth to that of the 1999 film version of "The Talented Mr. Ripley," which is the best-known adaptation. Most reviewers agree that distinction is a good thing.

"The story may revolve around imitation, but 'Ripley' is a show determined to do its own thing," Einav wrote in his review for the Financial Times.

"'The Talented Mr. Ripley' has often been adapted in a way that felt sweaty, hot, and impassioned — this one is ice cold, drained of color and most human emotion. The choice really serves the reading of Ripley as an amoral creature, someone who doesn't cross boundaries of right and wrong as much as he never even considers them," reads the RogerEbert.com critic Brian Tallerico's review of the series.

As many reviewers pointed out, Zaillian's main point of reference for the series may have been the work of Alfred Hitchcock, the filmmaker best known for "Psycho," "The Birds," and "Strangers on a Train" (the last of which was adapted from another of Highsmith's novels).

"'Ripley' plays as if it were a Hitchcock series Hitchcock never made," reads the BBC review.

Rolling Stone's Alan Sepinwall called it "a masterpiece of Hitchcock-style suspense."...'

The Problem of Autistic Masking #ActuallyAutistic Join me as I explore the reasons why we engage in masking, the impact it has on our identity and mental health, and the challenges we face in navigating social interactions. I'm Mike, and I'm a late diagnosed autistic person although I have had a lifetime of autistic experiences as an undiagnosed autistic person - I have always been autistic. On this channel, I hope to share with you my thoughts, advice, where appropriate, and evidence and research where needed, like in this video. References: 1. "Neurotypical Peers are Less Willing to Interact with Those with Autism based on Thin Slice Judgments" Nature. Noah J. Sasson, Daniel J. Faso, Jack Nugent, Sarah Lovell, Daniel P. Kennedy2, & Ruth B.

Disclaimer: I am not a psychologist, or a diagnostician although, for many reasons, I believe like much of the autistic community that self-diagnosis is valid. If you are autistic, or questioning whether you may be on the spectrum, you are very welcome on this channel.
