As far as insults go, for Americans it feels like being hit with a feather.

Twitter exposes you to a world rich with cultural variety, like when British people use "Muppet" as an insult.

For Marylanders it was particularly effective at the time. My buddies and I saw it and then drove out to Burkittsville, MD *THAT NIGHT*. We got chased out of a local graveyard by a night watchman, who yelled at us about "that damn movie."

There is simply no way to recreate watching this in the theaters when it came out. I was a tween and the guerrilla marketing campaign was ridiculously effective. With the internet in its infancy my friends and I were still about 57 percent sure that this was a documentary.

@jbarro @foster_type My memory was much more like Dan's. As I said though, I was a MD local, and encountered it largely pre-hype.

@foster_type I saw this in the theater and was so bored. Only the last 90 seconds or so is compelling.

I watched “The Blair Witch Project” on a whim last night. Never saw it when it came out in 1999. Surprisingly not scary, despite its reputation. And because you never actually see the witch, I kept bracing myself for a jump scare that never came. Still, impressive that a couple of film students from the University of Central Florida made an inexpensive film that became a huge blockbuster hit and one of the most well-known titles in horror cinema.

I think if one is trying to figure out if a candidate is sympathetic to Nazis, one of the most important tests is whether the candidate knowingly got a death’s head tattoo signifying an elite, brutal group of SS officers and kept it until the second he wanted to run for Senate and someone noticed. It’s an insult to everyone’s intelligence to suggest otherwise. Sorry, his Medicare thoughts from last week are not permanent body art or absolution.
Jon Favreau@jonfavs
As the community note makes clear, I didn't delete it because I stand by it. But if MAGA world has decided their best play is to insult Mainers' intelligence by trying to fool them into thinking Platner's old tattoo makes him a Nazi sympathizer, best of luck in November!

@polanskydj I saw that "Live in the Seventies" subtitle and was immediately like "nope nope nope." Maybe I should check it out.

@EsotericCD The old Crossroads 2 box set made an implicit case that he was still capable of making compelling music for another decade, it just wasn't apparent on any of his official albums

The reason to move Eric Clapton down to #35 on this list is because he sucks and has sucked consistently since 1970. Not because of Covid, you fools.
Robin Monotti@robinmonotti
Rolling Stone moved Eric Clapton down from the top 10 of greatest guitar players of all time to 35 because he admitted to being Covid "vaccine" injured & refused to discriminate on entry to his concerts based on "vaccine" status. They even admit the reasoning in the explanation!

The final edition of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette, as I knew it, as we know it.

@Kemmeries No, it has its virtues. (I like the hits as much as anyone else.) But I actually DO prefer live Cream.

@EsotericCD Says the man who also said that studio Cream sucks

@Eggleston1337 @gancelin @spencmar No, the song was written by Will Jennings. Clapton changed some lyrics.

I got to experience May Day in Chicago exactly the way nobody wants to: forced upon me at close range. A personal tale, for @NRO:

@oklajoujou Joni Mitchell was actually such a innovative guitarist in terms of acoustic technique (particularly with respect to alternate tunings and rhythm) that I would argue they compete. She doesn't play electric but what she did with acoustic was HUGELY influential.
English
@FParker_77 In all honesty, probably not. I would put him in the mid-twenties myself. I understand his importance to music history. But I'm still angry about his shitty post-1970 career that I wasted so much trying to get into, until realizing: hey, this really IS limp shite.
English
@EsotericCD You’re out of your fucking mind if you think there are 34 better guitarists than Clapton.

First, you can't really ban gerrymandering, you can only cabin it. And that only works if you have precise, quantifiable measures with crisp cutoffs. No weighing, no multi-factor tests, etc. Just something like "no splitting counties or municipalities more than necessary." 1/
Andrew Fleischman@ASFleischman
Both parties gerrymander whenever possible. This is bad. Neither party will ever unilaterally disarm. That is predictable. So why not just call a truce and pass a law to restrict it everywhere?
