Has the PIC been abolished in Springfield? So I theorize in the alt text.
People will take justice into their own hands. As always, predicted by the Simpsons

The sample’s the flesh and the beat’s the Skelton/you got beef but there’s worms in your Wellington/I’ll put a hole in your skull and extract the skeleton
(Oh my god, said a word twice/I’m Vast Aire, I’m twice as nice)

-Vast Aire, “Raspberry Fields” (he left it in a did a do over with “gelatin”)
"Well, everybody rappin' like it's a commercial
Actin' like life is a big commercial"
- Beastie Boys, "Pass the Mic"

Apparently it was a mistake by Mike D but they liked it better so they just left in. Original line was "Actin' like life is a big rehearsal".
I was always amused that Steve Miller “rhymed” suspicious and suspicious in the third verse of Rockin’ Me. It’s not a rhyme, it’s the same word 🤣

Whenever these “ruin a movie by changing a word” posts come around, everybody always changes a verb or noun (and always with a 1:1 change). They never do anything truly unexpected like changing a preposition or article, or swapping a noun for a verb. Lack of creativity.

Just occurred to me that the two high profile murder victims in Minneapolis are named Good and Pretti. The DHS goon squad didn’t think this out, did they?

I have three heretical thoughts about books:

- Time spent browsing in bookshops is mostly wasted
- Books make for terrible gifts. Don't give books.
- There are vastly more interesting things to put on living-room shelves than books

Come at me! Add to the list!

A 🧵 for book-lovers

Arsenal sits on top with a 6 point lead over #2/3, 14 clear of 4, 17 over 5. It’s a good position.
FOUR POINTS SEPARATE 5TH FROM 14TH PLACE IN THE PREMIER LEAGUE 😲

Football’s for everyone, except the faint of heart 😮‍💨
