[ID: Four digital drawings of Rutabega, an original 3D Flatland character. Rutabega is a sphere with a light purple main section with random, larger, darker spots, and a ceam belly. Her eyes are yellow with square pupils, with darker purple eyelids and a long shape for a nose. She has the tips of two sharp teeth poking up from her mouth, which extends to halfway around her body, ending at two dark purple circles for cheeks. In the first drawing, she is sitting on an invisible chair, eyes half open, holding a bottle of alcohol. In the second, she is walking or running on all fours, seen from the side. In the third drawing, she is standing and smiling off to the side, wearing a brown hat and matching jacket. In the fourth, she is stretching like a cat, her eyes closed as she yawns, revealing lots of sharp teeth inside her mouth, with the four sharpest at the front of her mouth, like a dog or cat. End ID.]

Rutabaga; not to be confused with the turnip.

"Since you're all sick and sleepy and I'm neither sick nor sleepy, I decided to make you all dinner!" Hyrule said and handed a hot rutabega to each (awake) hero.

"Th-thanks..." Warriors said and eyed the turnip doubtfully. He took a bite.

CCCRUNCH!

The rutabega was still raw.

Every Record I Own - Day 809: The Rutabega Brother the Lights Don't Work

It seems to happen every year around this time. The husband has to drive seven hours to central Oregon to check in on his parents just as the weather turns dangerously icy. And I wind up at home alone in a drafty house, bundled up in long underwear and quilted flannel shirts, hoping for a break in the weather so that he can make the drive home.

Two years ago, we were supposed to get out of town for New Years. My brother-in-law had passed away earlier in the year, and his 47th birthday would've been on New Years Eve. The plan was to drive down to central Oregon to mark the occasion with family then fly out to Mexico to be somewhere warm as a shitty year came to an end. The weather had other plans. The roads weren't drivable. We wouldn't make our flight out of the Redmond, OR airport. So I stayed home to make sure the pipes didn't freeze and the husband flew a day or two later to be with this family for his brother's birthday.

A package arrived in the mail. A Secret Santa gift from a member of the small music discussion group a few of my friends started during the pandemic. It included a Scratch Acid LP (cool!) and this album by some band called The Rutabega (um... okay?). A note included made it clear that both records were from the sender's collection.

I'd never heard of the band. Come to find out they're a two-piece from Chicago and have been around for roughly 20 years. I thought I knew the Chicago indie rock scene fairly well, but apparently I still have blind spots. Brother the Lights Don't Work came out in 2013. And that's where my Rutabega knowledge ends.

I didn't have high expectations for the album. I'll be honest: the band name is a sticking point. And the fact that my friend was basically culling it from his collection wasn't exactly promising.

But I gave it a spin and fell in love with it. It sounds like a cross between '90s Pacific Northwest indie rock from the Up Records camp mixed with a dash of the more mature end of '90s Midwest emo. Imagine a cross between peak Built to Spill and the Post Marked Stamps 7" series.

Songs like "Turn on the Summer," "Buried in the Snow," and "Through the Holes in the Floor" sounded like they'd been written for this exact scenario: homebound, alone, pining for warmer weather, a little melancholy but keeping the chin up. I listened to the LP several times a day until the weather warmed up. And then it went on the shelf until the next winter, when I found myself once again alone between Christmas and New Years, this time as my husband was stuck down in Oregon while his parents were sick with COVID. It was a welcome companion.

It's that time of year again, and it's back on the turntable. If you need a little warmth, I suggest giving it a spin.

Hi Yes We Just Share

Danny Phantom, looking at the batfam member funny: What do you mean you almost killed each other for the title of Robin? You can just, share it???

Batfam member: no you don't understand-

Dani Phantom, popping up through the floor: hi Danny what's cooking.

Danny Phantom: Hi yourself Dani. Just explaining how we share our names.

Batfam member, not liking the implications: you're not... duplicates?

...

For the purpose of this one I think the Phantoms is with the YJ, probably. So they're talking to Tim?

Also like, they're both Phantom. At the same time. They didn't try to hide it at all, everyone else just assumed they're the same person because duplication is one of phantom's known powers. And because they usually called each other by name, and have chronic under-explaining things syndrome, and does things in sync a lot, and look almost identical.

So in their teammate's eyes Phantom is one single entity, just casual with his duplication power and also genderfluid. Even when Dani occasionally calls Danny template, people think of dupes before clones.

...Which leads to the next hilarious situation where Tim only tell the other members there's more than one Phantom, making them questions every dupe they see.

The Rutabega : Leading Up To

The Rutabega : Leading Up To

It’s been six long years since we last heard from South Bend’s “Carp Rock Duo” The Rutebega. The band, which consists of singer/guitarist/songwriter Joshua Hensley and drummer/spiritual guru Garth Mason, has made endearing and emotionally buzzing alternative rock for the better part of 20 years. Hensley has a knack for pulling the listener into his heavy, aching songs. Songs that lock into the…

Women manipulating men for a more comfortable life (or even just to survive) is as old as patriarchy itself, being born from the disparity between men and women’s relative positions in society (‘The female Andrew Tate’: the new influencer dating doctrine is extreme – but I can see why it’s popular, 9 August). SheraSeven’s “dating doctrine” is apparently gaining popularity, and both the subject of this article and its writer, Kimberly McIntosh, rightly identify gendered power as relevant context. Men hold more privilege, money, status and agency. Women are perpetually required to adapt to and/or resist this oppression. Here, the focus is on heterosexual relationships. But there is a more sinister undercurrent that McIntosh fails to address.

Article | Archive

I found it jarring that the article said SheraSeven had often been described as “the female Andrew Tate”. Although it said this description was used “half‑jokingly”, this nevertheless gives a dangerously misleading impression that an equivalence between SheraSeven and Tate is in some way possible – it is not

Ah, yes, the classic "you literally cannot have opinions that do not agree with me."

Andrew Tate is an influencer best known for supposed sexism against women, including how to manipulate them. //ditto for Seven.

Misandry (and actually I saw none of this in SheraSeven’s views) and misogyny are not some kind of gender-swap equivalents. Violent misogyny is actively expressed in every corner of society every day – women are beaten, murdered and raped with impunity – and this is the context for Tate’s vile fame.

Last time I checked, society was generally against male on female rape and any violence by men against women, even in self-defense. /

Also, Andrew Tate is best known for his allegedly sexist opinions, not actual violence or the threat thereof, even if you back-door it into the discussion by talking about 'context'.

Also, the Guardian is a UK paper. In the UK, you need a penis to commit rape, by law. So if a woman rapes a man, there's not much chance she'll be charged with rape.

Also, sexism is sexism, no matter how it's expressed. If one person hates green tomatoes, and expresses it by setting a farm on fire, and another hates rutabagas, and expresses it by not eating rutabegas...they both hate veggies.

Some women tackle power inequalities in society by the manipulation, exploitation or indeed humiliation of men, but this takes place within the context of the gender hierarchy where men retain pre-eminence. There can never be a female Andrew Tate.

You heard it here first! When a woman is horrible and manipulative and sexist toward men, that's actually men's fault, and they're not really victims, because society is a Patriarchy.

The irony here is that Tate and pickup artists in general are usually stigmatized by society. Same as their audience. The idea that they have power just for being men is, um, sexist.

I love how this person's concern is not the toxic influencer who wants to manipulate dudes and teach other women how to do it, but the idea that it's a serious problem.

I don't think she actually condemns wossname, even by implication, at any point.

Oh my God it has recipes for english sausages too. American sausages suck so will definitely have to try and make some good sausages

Made one rather expensive purchase today.

Well expensive for what it is really.

But I saw it and after about 5 minutes of deliberating I just couldn't say no.
