These “young boys” are men in their 30s.

Real men in their 30s don’t tell Holocaust and rape jokes, because they aren’t funny.

I am listening to Division Bell on the good headphones now and… i just can’t with these lyrics.

What makes it /good despite that/ is young David Gilmour’s voice and the extraordinary instrumentals and the production. It‘s lush. I’d pay generously for an instrumental version of this album.

Btw the original title was (shudder):

"August 2026: There Will Come Soft Rains"

We may not exactly get a rapture but maybe we‘re gonna get a jackpot*

if i got like $9 billion, well, first class postage is like 78 cents and maybe similar outside the US, and 8.3B people so i would mail everyone a cheque for 22 cents and use the remainder to pay for management overhead and a call centre to reach out to those who didn't timely cash their cheques

This is terrorism. Abolition of ICE and DHS is not enough.

(Photos by Anthony Vasquez, Chicago Sun-Times.)

A trio of cowardly, pathetic ICE agents hold a terrified man at gunpoint. The BORTAC patch, by the way, means Border Patrol Technical Unit.

Worthless lumps (ICE agents) pin down an unarmed, young Black man.

A domestic terrorism (ICE agent) lobs a canister of gas directly at an unarmed man trying to film the chaos on his phone

I leave you to whatever solace you may find therein, gentle traveller.

Lyrics…
Cluster One, Marooned: instrumental
Wearing the Inside Out: Moore
Coming Back to Life: Gilmour

absolutely those.
But the rest are Gilmour, Samson and I just can’t.

Indiana University fires IDS
adviser amid push to control
student newspaper's content

The director of student media at Indiana University was fired amidst a dispute between university leadership and editors at the Indiana Daily Student over what content gets printed in the student newspaper.

As director of student media, Jim Rodenbush did not directly oversee or have any say over the content published in the IDS, per a charter between the IDS and the university. But he told IndyStar his firing follows a series of meetings with IU Media School leadership in which it grew increasingly apparent they were expecting him to officially prohibit students from publishing news.

Polly Samson ruined Pink Floyd[1] as a band whose music had profound lyrics.

Therefore, A Momentary Lapse of Reason was The Floyd’s last great album.

Final answer. Don’t @ me.

[1] i write this as a member of Team Roger who still wanted to hear more from Nick Mason, Rick Wright, and David Gilmour.

Thank you

It really feels like Sam Altman promised a lot of Very Serious Old People he was going to create capitalist blowjob jesus based off a tech demo, and now that the bottom’s falling out he’s throwing whatever he can think of at the wall to avoid getting disappeared because he wasted all their money.

the results of this investigation surprised me. since CR last tested protein supplements in 2010, protein mania has swept the nation. protein isolates (the key ingredient in supplements) are in everything these days, from pasta to starbucks cold foam

but as the industry has grown, so have the risks

Why We Tested Protein Powders and Shakes. Since our last tests
of protein powders 15 years ago, protein has become the centerpiece of the wellness craze. Heavy metals were widespread in protein supplements back then, and today, they’re even worse.

my latest investigation for @consumerreports.org is based on months of reporting and 60+ lab tests of leading protein supplements

we found that most protein powders and shakes have more lead in one serving than our experts say is safe to have in a day (🧵)
