That makes sense, but they wouldn’t work so well with the adjective at the end of a sentence.

Eg

“Today feels very autumnal” 👍
“Today feels very fall” 👎

Not remotely important, I know, but I find stuff like this interesting.

As the Countess in Roman Holiday tells us, either way is correct :-)

Think it depends where you put the stress.

I’d say “Ad VER tis ment”

But if I was stressing the tis part, a “tize” sound would feel more natural.

That’s how I would say advertising, for example, “adver TIZE ing”

Re fall/autumn - is there a US equivalent for the work autumnal? Falllike doesn’t seem quite right, nor fallish, nor fallumnal.

Is that the one about the monkey in the tree? I remember absolutely cracking up at that.

A friend and I once tried to do Sure Shot by the Beastie Boys. 2 people, neither of whom are a rapper, attempting to overlap on a fast-paced song written for 3 was an interesting approach…

Thanks, yeah, I was looking at that earlier. Very cool idea, and looks pretty well put together.

Yeah, I saw that with the keyboard, that’s super slick. I’m not in the market for a laptop right now, but if I was, I’d definitely be tempted! Thanks for the info on stability 👍

That looks so unstable, with just that small back rest holding the whole thing up. I’m sure it’s better than it looks, but wow.

They did - the last one was in 1977 though, which really isn’t that long ago!

EDIT - wait, you said public beheading. That was in 1939 - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eugen_Weidmann?wprov=sfla1

😁

What a superb choice from BW, to show the moment before the loud noise, rather than the action and its consequences.

I feel like it makes it ten times funnier to be witness to that last possible chance for Calvin not to do this, for part of us to be going, “Noooooo, doooooon’t!!!” almost in slow motion, even though we know it’s much too late.

Masterful.

I think it also has something to do with believing that the monarch should or shouldn’t be head of the Church of England. But yeah, pro-establishment, definitely.

I like it - lovely long summer evenings, now that it’s plenty light enough in the morning.

😁

After that, just Lou Reed’s Metal Machine Music, the rest of the way.

Off the top of my head without too much thought…

Fight the Power - Public Enemy
Know Your Enemy - RATM
Nazi Punks Fuck Off - Dead Kennedys
Strange Fruit - Nina Simone
Making Flippy Floppy - Talking Heads (just for the line, “Our President’s crazy, did you hear what he said?”)
Dark and Long (Dark Train) - Underworld (no political message, but it’s long, and I love it and pretty sure he’d hate it)

Was she Karving her initials on the møøse with the sharpened end of an interspace tøøthbrush?

Respect to these thieves for honoring their word btw

I mean, not really though - what they did was awful and will likely scar those people for life.

Ok, they didn’t kill them, but they don’t deserve any respect either.

Well, that’s what I heard!
