It is $3 beer night at the boy aquarium and the fish are fighting. At one point a crowd member goaded a guy in the penalty box for fighting so much he got tossed for misconduct. Someone else spit blood after a punch to the face. There has been 6 more fights since then. No one has kissed.
I remember a grad advisor describing this situation in the humanities. It was 1997.
It's gotten so so bad 😔
(also love that you can hear the northern accent in it!!)
Magnificent (to perform it there and also the piece itself)
The Poet Laureate of the UK is famous for his translation of St Gawain and the Green Knight, and Kym once got up on stage, looked him straight in the eye, and then performed this.
Unsurprisingly enough, every time they've encountered each other since, he's remembered them.
Hawkeye (and the writers room) knew.
Snickers, get off the cat!
Cat? What cat?
Splendid!
I think we may be making different points-I've seen all those brands of tractors (and driven and overhauled several!)- I've never seen an oil-fueled stationary haybind like this in person, they were a generation earlier and long out of active use where I grew up
Oh brill - I'd never seen one in person at all, I'd only heard about them - our county fairs featured different tractors!
oh cool! yeah I wasn't sure if that was steam or exhaust on a petrol engine burning dirty (common enough w/o near-constant fine-tuning that early).
I managed an international move w/o Target. It wasn't ideal, but I made it work. They know the moves they'd have to make to bring us back, and they won't make them : (
You can easily see how this might've developed for steam, using belt-tech, and then easily be converted to safer petrol (which I assume this one is, since no one is positioned to feed it).
YOU GUYS!!! Hidden in this image is an intermediate technology--this is a STATIONARY SEMI-MECHANICAL haybind!! Its job was to compress the hay into a long, rectangular column. Note the women on either side hand-tying off bales, and one loading the hopper. These women were trail-blazers!
that's a wonderful privilege that I'm glad you enjoy
If it fits etc
👏
someone was saying they thought maple syrup just came out of the tree, and it’s funny because we have a story about this in ojibwe
like, the syrup used to come out that way but people got lazy and fat so the creator thinned it out into sap so we wouldn’t take it for granted
have immediately sent this link to friends who Need to Know
Ohhh check it out my chat with @estelleprnq.bsky.social about witch hunts is live on her YouTube now! Place bets now on how long it takes me to start talking about dick magic.

srsly it's the Women in/on Wikipedia problem. I love me some wiki but they have singularly failed to address the gender imbalance
very : (
one of the best things I've seen online all day, ta v much
Imagine if worms in hats did drive apple-cars about though.
right??
this post is a gift
It's important to keep in mind that Markwayne Mullins is a Cherokee citizen. And that most reporters (and frankly most people in the U.S.) don't talk to natives and have very little insight into what a tribal nation even means.
I understand the desire to rebrand courses so as to attract more students, but I think it would be more effective if universities reinstituted some breadth requirements in the humanities and arts. I believe that @lollardfish.bsky.social has made this point in the past, and I agree.
