It’s wild that Britten’s ‘Ceremony of Carols’ was essentially the product of boredom; when returning to England in 1942 the only book he could find when the ship docked in Halifax, Nova Scotia was a book of medieval carols, so he spent the Atlantic crossing setting them to music

I understand that the sewing community needs to have a gender-neutral term for people who sew, but I will die on the hill that "sewist" sounds dumb

It can often be difficult to tell Sheep (right) and Goats (left) apart, but to the trained eye there's an obvious difference:
While both commit Crimes, only Goats are aware that their actions are wrong, and are thus capable of Sin.

A: At least 4, so you have the parts covered, but then 6 would be better so you can double the octaves, and really honestly at least 10 to 12 would be ideal for a more well-rounded class... wait, has the chair appointed a lightbulb committee?

"The entire film would be James Bond visiting his elderly mother in a suburban house, spending a bit of time with her, and then leaving," he tells Empire.
