So I just heard La Zarra's song and what I can say is that I am kinda not underwhelmed or overwhelmed just kinda whelmed really.

So I had no idea who La Zarra was before that but I saw a lot of hype from everywhere that was kinda contagious, so I had high expectations.

I mean the song is fine, La Zarla is beautiful and she has such wonderful stage presence and all that but the song just feels like it needs something to make it great that I can't put my finger on.

All in all its not a bad song and I will probably like it more when I have heard it more. I also can't wait to see her on the stage in may, she looks like the kind of person that is awesome on stage regardless of the song.

How UMK Became The Must Watch National Final

I was last at Uuden Musiikin Kilpailu, Finland’s selection for the Eurovision Song Contest, in 2017. In a ten song, one night show at a half-full Espoo Metro Arena, attendance boosted significantly thanks to Marcus and Martinus turning up as the interval act and a free bus from Helsinki station, I witnessed a Eurovision National Final that was not amongst my highlights. Here the fan favourite…

Concept: the Mystery Flesh Pit existing in the SCP universe, yet it doesn't fall under SCP jurisdiction because it was originally sold to the National Parks Service, and despite the Mystery Flesh Pit since being shut down due to the incidents, the National Parks Service refuses to hand over jurisdiction to SCP because it's their mess to deal with and contain.

They allow SCP scientists to visit and share information, of course.

Secession was the high point of the Confederate founders' idea of the people. No sooner had they gotten their states out of the Union than they turned to the matter of perfecting the new republic, writing constitutions for the states and for the fledgling national government in Montgomery. Secessionists wasted no time, moving immediately to codify the assumptions about slavery and citizenship that had driven them out of the Union, to secure slavery beyond any possibility of government interference and to delimit democracy, as they hoped, permanently. The first task—to secure slave property for all time—fell to the provisional Congress of the Confederate States of America in Montgomery, Alabama, in late February 1861. The Congress attempted to dispense in one fell swoop with all the agitating issues concerning slave property and black citizenship of the antebellum period. Unlike the original U.S. Constitution, which delegates used as a template, the Confederate Constitution explicitly recognized the "sovereign and independent character" of states (and thus the right of secession), bound the Congress and territorial governments to recognize and protect "the institution of negro slavery," and guaranteed citizens the right of sojourn and transit in any state or territory of the Confederate states "with their slaves and other property." Purging their Constitution of the euphemisms for slavery adopted in the original U.S. Constitution, they struck out aggressively to secure the property in slaves, using the term "slaves" instead of "other persons" in writing their version of the three-fifths clause (Article 1, Section 2), the fugitive slave clause (Article 4, Section 2), and a wholly new part of Article 1, Section 9, which stated, categorically, "No bill of attainder, ex post facto law, or law denying or impairing the right of property in negro slaves shall be passed" by the Congress. Confederate founders moved to put slavery under positive constitutional protection and to render it a fundamental and permanent feature of the slaveholders' new breakaway state. The new Confederate Constitution left no doubt that slavery was the foundation of the new republic; it was a proslavery Constitution for a proslavery state.

Hey I'm graduating college in may and I just kinda realized that I'll be Done Done with school after that. Not fake-done like I was graduating high school, where I'd have to go to college at the start of the fall. And not fake-done like I was in any of my semesters I took off.

Done Done. As in I accomplished my degree, and I won't ever have to go back to school if I don't want to. What a beautiful, beautiful thought.
