@Variety One of the most famous short stories in literature but sure

"Obsession" director Curry Barker revealed his inspiration came in part from a "Simpsons" episode:
“Bart gets a monkey paw and causes a bunch of chaos,” he explains. "We’ve seen ‘Be careful what you wish for’ tons of times. But we’ve never seen my version of it."

@mertonesque I had this same experience at a page plant show in the late 90s so I believe it

my wife saw Robert Plant live and she reported that several times he played the first few notes of "Stairway To Heaven" before going "nah just playin" and launching into some solo song no one knew

While we're talking about concerts for w/e reason I'd like to offer the funniest bit I've seen live was Butthole Surfers reunited on NYE 2011 and they were in the middle of a punishing 80s noise song and did exactly 4 bars of Pepper to brief cheers before going back to hurting us

@Gavin_McInnes Legacy of brutality is like if the ramones had been inspired by John Hammond instead of Phil Spector

They’re not punk. They invented their own genre: horror rock.

@Gavin_McInnes The best punk album ever made is the Misfits album they recorded in 1978 but didn't release until 1996 oddly enough

Filmed days before 9/11, the video for “New York, New York” captured the skyline just before it changed. Taken from Gold (September 2001) and released as a single in November 2001, it gave Ryan Adams a breakthrough moment as the song took on new meaning in the months that followed.

Walked into the hot dog stand and saw this sitting at the pickup counter and asked what gives and they said somebody thought the cheesesteak was a hot dog so they asked for that when they found out it wasn’t. 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸

Terrifying—a few ground shaking knocks by my seat at White House Correspondents Dinner, unclear if shooting. I am ok, we are trying to exit now.

@CynicalPublius Considering jobs wife owns the Atlantic and has been involved with splc for decades
English
So the Southern Poverty Law Center almost certainly knew an indictment was headed their way, and soon.
Remember the very recent, bogus hit piece from The Atlantic alleging that Kash Patel is a drunken disaster?
I don't believe in coincidences, at least not inside the Democrat/Media Complex. I wonder which SPLC official knows someone on The Atlantic's staff?
English
@feelsdesperate its funny that USA Today and MSM are trying to explain it away like this because if anything it points more directly at the even bigger problem, which is that orgs like SPLC do things like this in conjunction with law enforcement so often that the line is often blurry at best.
English
OK.
Well, I have questions then.
Why is the SPLC acting like a federal law enforcement agency?
Were they explicitly understood to be a partisan para-governmental intelligence apparatus being used to surveil the American public?
There’s no explanatory narrative that makes this stuff look good.

in 1968, a 15-year old in canada released a proto-shoegaze psychedelic acid folk song. it’s one of the earliest “dream pop” songs. the album was a commercial failure, falling into obscurity & lost for decades (still hardly known). it sounds like a radiohead song, but from the 60s

@AdamLehrerSP Yes but I still love that Paulina Luna is doing. Use their own bullshit against them. If he’s not fit to run for governor he’s not fit for congress either. According to his own party mind you.
English
As tempting as it might be, I refuse to get in on the me too’ing of Rep. Swalwell. Sure, it’s always satisfying when the moralizing dullards of the left prove to be depraved idiots, but humiliating men for their libidos is absolutely fundamental to how the Democratic Party wields power and must be rejected regardless of who is targeted by these tactics at any moment.

@PerryALPHA It’s not sexual the young man was explaining to Perry that he would vote for 4 more years of president trump if he could!

@annakhachiyan Yeah either way you’re both right

Conceivably she’s just putting on a show to flex on other hoes about what a Good Person she is and doesn’t really do this but the issue is less growing up in an ideologically oppressive environment and more growing up with a mother who puts her vanity before your wellbeing

@makecitiesgreat And if you really believe that, invest now and cheer the latecomers in a few years as you reap the rewards of their arrival.

You encounter this slop in St. Louis too. Sadly these cities - that were built by the ambition and labor of more formidable people - attract these downwardly-mobile, arrested development types who think cities are playgrounds for their artsy fantasies. They cannot recognize the suffering and loss that depopulation and degrowth create.

@lilsixstar @dlai_ I think race communism is an accurate description of an unserious ideology that most leftists and liberals adhere to in the west these days, which in turn makes it very serious. Sounds like you’ve picked up on that too.
English
@ojtruther @dlai_ it’s reductive to frame this as some random renters trying to “impede the sale of real estate”. the real estate in question is their home. when you make the decision that you’d prefer to make money investing in human beings’ homes than work, you should prepare to deal with this.
English
@lilsixstar @dlai_ i wasn't implying they were random. I said they were trying to impede the sale of something they don't own. I was also pointing out the hilarity of the guy who thinks its bad PR for this law when white people use it against a Mexican but not the other way around. Race communism.
English
@dlai_ i dont worship the free market, no one really does anymore, even on the right. i just dont think that renters should be able to impede the sale of real estate, especially with individual owners. But if I had to pick a side in your debate I'd pick yours over the racist guy.
English
@ojtruther I knew it was only a matter of time before you guys found your way here. Can you enjoy your veiled caping for private equity somewhere else please? The owner stands to make a huge profit as they are negotiating the sale at asking price so you don’t have anything to get mad at.
