    After watching this very playthrough of MyHouse a few months ago, I still remember a few scenes. So very unsettling. buddy's narration style is really compelling too.

    I wonder how many times someone has tried to turn House Of Leaves into a movie or a series. It would be pretty wild no matter how they tried it.

    I wasn't clear - when i say NVidia will correct I mean it will pop back down - the current valuation is stupidly high. They won't die, but people will act like the sky is falling the moment NVidia stock finally corrects back down. What that will trigger is anybody's guess.

    In the name of Murphy Brown I never thought I'd say this: Thank God for fucking Dan Quayle, of all people. once MAGA is in the dustbin of history that doofus should run for office on the platform of actually having saved democracy.

    a) you're right. Everyone who says this is right

    b) If the senior leaders have designed their own ivory towers to force obsequious behaviour from their own people, they sure as shit won't listen to totally reasonable analysis from people who don't work for them. As such, they have engineered their own demise. I wish them well with it.

    It's nice to read a well-intentioned response on here.

    Divisive language is like a drug: it's fun to use, it's addicting, there's entire subcultures based around it, and once you get used to it it just doesn't affect you anymore, and eventually it becomes very difficult to go without it.

    I learned that when you see a piece of reporting that makes your opponents look like The Bad Guy, there is propaganda woven through it. There is a metric fuckton of this kind of reporting: it has become increasingly common over the years. Don't get me wrong, I'm certain that plenty of it is well-deserved. I can only imagine that for every piece of reporting that makes Right Wingers look like cartoon villains, those on the right have come up with something to try to make those that aren't quite-so-right-wing look the same.

    Good on you for remembering empathy. I can only hope others follow your lead.

    EDIT: just a reminder to others, the "real" enemy is the one jingling the keys, not the ones clamoring to grab them while babbling talking points. Those who seek to pit us against each other must be called out, and/or dragged out.

We cover pop songs in a jazzy style that might remind you of artists like Leonard Cohen, Nick Cave, or Tom Waits.

    The Three Leonards - a band with two albums songwhip.com

    Hello Lemmy.world! I'm a member of The Three Leonards. We do covers of pop songs in a playful jazzy style which might remind you of artists like Leonard Cohen, or Nick Cave, or Tom Waits. We might even remind you of that one time you tried mushrooms with those degens from upcountry. We're not here to judge: life is just like that sometimes. You do you. And *while* you do you, whether you're on mushrooms or not, you should listen to our music. Because it's fun. And because you've probably never asked yourself: "What would it sound like if Leonard Cohen did a cover of Toxic by Britney Spears?" And now you don't have to ask yourself. It's right there. Feel the groove. Feel the love. Feel The Len.

    Morning everyone. Here's the most recent release from our ongoing music project The Three Leonards. We re-imagine pop songs in a LeonardCohen-esque style. Have a listen and tell me what you think. We know it's not everyone's cup of tea, but some people really like tea. Remember your first cup of tea? I sure do. We also released an entire album last year, which I can link in the comments here because this place doesn't have a gigantic stick up it's arse. https://open.spotify.com/album/5RwGC1qOeAQvIENh9X353F Have an awesome day, Internet. You deserve one. Maybe our music can be a part of it.
