Hey, y’know how this website and all websites are full to the brim with terf psy-ops?

I say we psy-op them back.

“There are men 😡 who ‘iDeNTifY aS’ 🤪 women 😌💖😌 and we have GOT to keep them out of our beautiful NHS 🥹🏥! Our government is giving them documents 🤯 that let them come into our restrooms and changing rooms 😱😱😱!! This product 💊, although not a perfect solution to this very serious problem, represents a solid step in the right direction 😃. It only comes in low doses 🤏 - unlikely to do much harm 😞 in the time before they come to their senses 🙏 - and can be bought over the counter. Having an option they can procure on their own will lower the temperature 🌡️ of the debate 😎 and reduce the pressure 😰 on doctors 👩🏻‍⚕️👨🏻‍⚕️ to cave to the radical trans agenda 😤. It offers a low-risk 👍, compromise option 🤝, to take the heat 🥵 down while we keep fighting ✊ to protect our kids 👶🏻👧🏻👦🏻!”

The argument for testost-her-one is very similar.

Meanwhile I trust the trans girl hackers to immediately figure out how to ad hoc adjust the dose, and the trans guys in their oversized hoodies to be able to swipe entire shelves of the stuff.

Let them cook

Viren TDP is so similar to 80% of boomer dads I know irl and it haunts me.

alison’s friends casually asking who’s calling her and it’s julian so she’s like “oh it’s just my other friend” and they’re like “oh I’ve never heard of that guy”

and fast forward three months and she’s accidentally invented a whole fake identity for him that’s loosely based on his actual personality and they’re all really confused as to why she never invites him out with them or they never see him irl but she can’t explain that her trouserless ex-tory ghost dad is also a poltergeist who can use the phone

idk man like you do have to curate the experience like anywhere else but I lost someone super important to me? all of a sudden? and a bunch of people who I'd never met added me on the book face when that happened. so we could still keep in touch and be a family. and I think it's good actually that his cousins and friends are on the internet somewhere for me to talk to and keep in touch with and feel like I'm still connected to a big interwoven family that didn't die with him and that I didn't lose when he left

every time a boomer man comes into our restaurant and refuses to give us his phone number when he orders because he “doesn’t want to give us his personal information” it makes me want to tear my own skin off and use it to wipe the countertops

I know I'm just old school and inflexible and a snob perhaps but. genuinely my pet peeve is people listening to albums on shuffle. I literally cannot fathom doing this... it was meant to be listened in ORDER!!!!! it makes sense that way!!!! u are losing sm of the Experience by shuffling it. how.

Thoughts on the 2023 Frasier reboot?

I refuse to watch it lol. I don't really want to see Frasier be old, but also the original creators and basically none of the writing staff have any involvement. Unfortunately, my love for Frasier does not overpower my love for good writing. Also just not a fan of the general look of the thing: OG Frasier was lit very realistically and feels like a place you could actually visit. Everything I've seen of New Fras has that sterile modern sitcom look, often too brightly lit to be believable. I'm sure it's got some fun moments, but to me it just looks like an old man embarrassingly trying to relive the past (and dabble in nepotism, considering his irl kid was recently cast as Roz's daughter).

I know it’s all just standards.

But Ringo’s Sentimental Journey is utterly charming.

We really should talk more about how he turns to this project as therapy as the band is falling apart. It’s pure nostalgia in a bottle but with Ringo jazz drumming and just having fun with it singing and adding these cute little improv bits. Blues Turning Grey Over You is a highlight for the “I just lost myself there, child!” laugh at the end.

It’s all utterly charming.

It’s a really cool collaboration too. He recruited different musicans arrange each piece (including Paul, who arranged Stardust, perhaps before the breakup drama heats up). George Martin produces and gets the big band together. They start recording more sporadically at first, starting Oct 1969. Night and Day, Stormy Weather (which got left off the final album but I love he tried it), Stardust, and Dream, all recorded before Christmas. The rest are Jan-Mar 1970.

It gets ripped to shreds by the rock cred sector. But Ringo using this as a grief project, sort of returning to childhood in the midst of a blow for comfort, feels more honest and healthy than he gets credit for. It’s also brassy as fuck. This is the height of “fuck jazz,” and Ringo’s just like “so what? I’ll do what I like.”

George said he liked it. John slagged him off for it in interviews, but I bet he secretly liked it too. Not sure whether Paul ever commented on it given the dual release drama. He does his own standards album decades later, after it becomes a thing artists do. But when Ringo does it in 1970? No one was doing that.
