You just need to know 5 Taylor Swift albums and then add the Taylor's Version ones. Easy.

Julie Kavner can wrap that raspy sound around real delivery, though. She sounds like a real person, and even somewhat pleasant.

At least, she used to. Don't look up recent Marge clips; it hurts in more ways than one.

That’s probably because Marge is her own voice exaggerated somewhat, everyone else is doing an impression.

And that’s also the reason it’s off now that she’s older. Billy West is having a similar issue with Fry in the new Futurama episodes.

Another major part of it is that some idiots took an early report about some number of the 4000 Israeli nationals who worked around the WTC being missing in the wake of the attacks as all 4000 missing in advance of the attacks as if they had advanced knowledge and didn't show up to work.

Did Trump's lie about Muslim's dancing in the street after 9/11 somehow mutate into Israeli's dancing in the street after 9/11?

I'm sure they've blended together some, but it actually mostly predates that.

I remember reading about the dancing Israelis 10(?) or so years ago and it's some really weird stuff about a dance troupe or something like that of Israeli nationals doing some wonky poo poo around the time 9/11 happened

A quick Google search only shows up incomplete articles from the early 2000s, pro Israel articles, or obviously racist conspiracy theory hits and I don't give a poo poo enough to give it more thought than this

There were plenty of people celebrating 9/11. We're the bad guys after all.

The 'google dancing israelis' thing is specifically an anti-Semitic thing about Israel being involved though.

I think we should just ban British panel shows.

We'd lose some good stuff but I think it's a net positive to the world overall.

Yeah, I think he went influencer because Get Him to the Greek bombed, he was basically banned from anything BBC and Channel 4 stopped booking him for panel shows.

Still, I stand by my point that every single (promotional) picture I've seen of her she has this empty, vacant look about her. Her being a 'perfect product' for both teenage girls and adult (white) women to imprint on doesn't mean she has talent though so again, no judgment, just curious.

She was watching the football and yelled "let's loving go!" when her boyfriend scored.

Wait, explain this horse thingy.
So they walk on their toenails, basically, but sometimes they need to nail a metal thing over the toenail to stop it from being worn down? But sometimes things can go the other way and the hoof is too tough and needs to be trimmed back. And neither operation seems to upset the animal at all?
How do horses survive in the wild if their feet are either overgrown or wearing away??

Wild horses have had plenty of time to evolve and be naturally selected for the right balance of hoof wear.

Domesticated horses have been selectively bred and look at any dog to see how we usually gently caress that up.

Tiggum posted:

As I understand it, they need the shoes because we want them to walk on hard surfaces like roads and footpaths, but the shoes prevent their hooves from wearing down as they normally would so they also need to be trimmed. And they're not upset by all this because horses are trained to put up with all kinds of bullshit, like being sat on and made to jump over obstacles instead of just walking around them.

Yeah the shoes are to prevent their hooves from overly wearing, but of course will also prevent a whole lot of just normal wear.

Overgrowth is from neglect.

I read something recently that Beyonce's tour is actually outselling Swift's, but because she started it overseas it's not getting the same attention. I don't want to verify any of that right now, but it feels correct.

Possibly. Beyonce tickets are way, way more expensive.

Adobe did that because of all the piracy.

I want to put something up for thread discussion; I'm not laying down the law, I'm asking.

Twitter embeds no longer work if you don't have an account. All you see is the URL. Would people be willing to put up screencaps alongside direct links? This also helps preserve tweets that are deleted after lots of feedback.

If the forums let me paste images directly into posts, like any website from 2018.

There's a tweet where some people are standing on a balcony and they're filming themselves watch a concert and they accidentally drop the phone and it turns out it's attached to a drone and they do a big flyby over the concert. I saw it like a few months ago but since then I've replaced my computer and it is not in my browser history, does anyone have a link to it?

It's described in this reddit thread a bit but the post has since been deleted, big surprise:
