“Ah. Poirot wonders which one of you it was who left une decharge gigantique upon the floor. Was it you, Mme. Daniels, who noted that she ate corn before arriving? Or could it be you, Monsieur Brightley-Smythe, witnessed earlier pounding on the lavatory door to gain admittance?”

Politics adjacent rant 

Now and then tho I run into conservatives online and it’s not hey, other scared people buying into their own biases, as I’d like to think; it’s like transphobes or being back in Georgia, where these folks just have a really mean, angry, exclusionary take on the world.

Politics adjacent rant 

When I worked for a small business which sold mostly diesel and various lubricants, I got exposed to a maybe actual centrist? POV; without an alternative to move TO, trying to push people away from old (in this case literally) toxic system just wound up being cruel. I saw a much further right POV which had some legit points.

I’m a bleeding heart so I WANT to believe folks on the other side can have valid points, that they’re other scared people who don’t trust power, etc..

(Bartok’s on record as saying it should be performed faster than it usually is or can be.)

But also, despite being a song from the 50s/60s about a dance, there’s no lyrics about how to actually DANCE the Mash. No “drop your shoulders and shuffle left, crinkle your nose and bare teeth, stick your hands straight out in front of you” or anything like that.

Show thread

People have noted that the song “The Monster Mash” never tells you what the Mash itself sounds like. The lyrics suggest it’s a faster and reorchestrated regional tune old enough that Dracula would be familiar with it, so I’d suggest it sounds like part of Bartok’s “Six Romanian Dances.”

Capitalism; a batch of rich folks constantly trying to sell me GROWING MY BRAND which is insult on top of injury because my “brand” relies on things like having resources to improve skills and promote myself, and then surviving on artist income, both of which are LITERALLY IMPOSSIBLE because similar rich folks constantly hike gas, food and housing prices.

Show thread

Capitalism; where you don’t find out about stuff people you relate to are selling, and you can’t afford it anyway because they just hiked your rent, gas and food, but hey you get a ton of ads for stuff you have no interest in.

Did Awoo just eat my PFP and background and stuff or is this something else?

Quoting Raiders of the Lost Ark to the soundtrack last night gets me back to the strong suspicion I have ADHD. Especially where there’s soundtrack cues as a mnemonic I can remember movie dialogue fairly well, but that tapers off further through the movie as in most cases I lose interest in rewatching movies or replaying soundtracks and only get partway through.

Bathroom, complaining, crass 

Why is it, whenever I need to pee today, someone’s taking so much time in the bathroom it’s like they’re making Cecil B DeMille’s epic silent film, “America Takes a Massive Dump”?
