I remember an interview with Tom Clancy in the days after 9/11 where he was describing the events as unimaginable, and all the time all I could focus on was how he'd written a novel where a passenger jet was flown in to the US Capitol (if I'm remembering the building correctly), so clearly it wasn't unimaginable.…

This is what I’m worried about. I actually spent two hours on the phone with iTunes support last weekend because I couldn’t import a CD.

And thus ended the ongoing nightmare of running iTunes on a PC.

There are several people on the internet that will claim this is definitive proof that the Hadron Collider has created another Mandela Effect.

“For years, the biggest mystery of Quantum Leap hasn’t been why Sam Beckett (Scott Bakula) was never able to return home“

What does a real lion actually LOOK like, smiling? Or singing? Or doing various other not-very-lion-like things?

I know, right?

plus, I don’t get why they wouldn’t let her try with the last little blind kitten - yes, there was a good chance she wouldn’t succeed but it might have ameliorated her grief to know she had done all she could.

I wish they would post trigger warnings for that sort of stuff.  In books too.  As a very sensitive person who loves animals, this kind of shit leaves me inconsolable and there are images in my head I can’t now unsee :( I don’t see why it’s even necessary - for instance if there’s a serial killer type character we all…

I took my car in to get fixed, and I was driving around in a shitty beater that didn’t have a CD player, so I was listening to godawful radio.

Yeah that line threw me. It’s a song about a prison drama trope where a rapist gets raped. It’s crude for sure but you’d have to be pretty bored to even pretend to be outraged by that song.

If they changed it to “Date Waif” Walmart would’ve agreed to carry it.

This is what I was thinking too. Most rock radio stations I have heard play Sublime daily, and have for the last 15 years as far as I can remember.

Marty seems to know his stuff, including the LBC music scene. I have to imagine he knows the lyrics, so I’m wondering what his reasoning is.

I think it’s because it’s called “Date Rape” so everyone just assumes it’s pro date rape when it's actually pretty explicitly anti.

“casual misogyny”

As Rytlewski writes in his 40 Oz. review, the corny stoner bros—or at least the culture these archetypal bros are standing in for—are the ones who shout cheerfully along to the chorus of “Date Rape” and, as he puts it, are “guffawing at a joke you find appalling.” Like “Date Rape” itself, this is horrific.

So am I allowed to listen to Sublime or not?  The article isn’t clear and I want to make sure I’m legally protected against Pitchfork
