  • They Pump So Much Stuff Into Those Beautiful Little Babies by Donald J. Trump

    Jump

  • For those that may not be aware, McSweeney's is a satirical quarterly that generally publishes absurdist humour. That they have published these remarks in full and absolutely verbatim is worth noting.

  • Defense Secretary Hegseth requires new 'pledge' for reporters at the Pentagon

  • Janine Jackson on Counterspin seems like the last sane media commentator.

  • Blocking tariffs would be "end of the United States," top Trump adviser says

  • Reagan ended his term 36 years ago. Don't make us that old for being there!

  • Truly Lossless Music

    Jump

  • I realise this is a tongue-in-cheek title but for anyone unaware, sheet music is a very clinical and skeletal approximation of music. Like the difference between reading I Have a Dream and actually hearing MLK deliver the speech. It's why you can have 1,000 different recordings of a Mozart piano concerto -- and why they're all superior to a PC playing a MIDI file (most accurate representation of sheet music).

    Having said that, and despite sheet music being about as far from 'lossless' as a stickman drawing, musicians are particularly good at 'visualising' music. So much so, that a brain scan can't distinguish between a musician actually listening to music and a musician merely replaying music in their head.

  • Time to pluralize titles.

  • It's spelled 'millstone'.

  • What was happening in the news when you graduated highschool?

    Jump

  • Zeebrugge? They left the doors open. Then there was Ferry Aid...

  • Is it safe to assume the guy i went out on a date with, just wants to sleep with me?

    Jump

  • Maybe I missed something but nowhere in this discussion do you mention whether you want to sleep with him? Even when people sort of prompted you.

    If you fancy him, take it to the next level. I imagine he's keeping it light for plausible deniability in case nothing happens or he gets rejected.

    Either make a move or tell him you're not interested in a relationship. Figure out your own intentions instead of trying to mindread him.

  • Alternative to Youtube music

    Jump

  • Qobuz also has some of the highest royalty payments for artists.

  • Rough deal: Trump roasted over clip appearing to show ‘cheating’ at golf in Scotland

    Jump

  • You've probably heard of it, but do yourself a favour and read Rick Reilly's Commander in Cheat: How Golf Explains Trump – (Hachette Books, 2019)

    I know little and care less about golf but this book was gripping! Reilly is a great writer and, despite my having read several other books on Trump (Mary Trump, Michael Wolff, etc), I really think Reilly's explains Trumps method of operation better than every other attempt.

    It's absolutely shocking what he does in his day to day life. The anecdotes are piled high, the double dealing and fabrications are outrageous. Every single page contains some revelation even more odious than the previous.

    A morbid fascination and dogged curiosity regarding the depths of Trump's moral abyss will keep you tutting and eye-rolling to the end.

    (Sounds like a sales pitch, I know. But I casually picked it up in a thrift shop for €1. No regrets!)

  • Why is so hard for musicians to have a good living and be famous?

    Jump

  • I would argue talent isn't even in the top ten list of important qualities for "success" in the music world.

  • U.S. Is Only Country To See Tourism Decline In 2025

    Jump

  • Confirmed! A couple I knew changed flights last Month and went to Canada instead.

  • I like that the lions don't quite fit on the gateposts.

  • Trump pleads ignorance after using antisemitic slur

    Jump

  • I think he's one of those readers who cannot take in the content of text while focusing on reading. You'll notice he only starts freewheeling on the last word or two of a sentence or paragraph. That's all he's heard.

  • Trump pleads ignorance after using antisemitic slur

    Jump

  • I think I first heard this from an article by Tony Schwartz who wrote The Art of the Deal. He mentioned seeing the speeches book by Trump's bed during one of their brief meetings about Trump's book, which Trump took no part in.
