My favorite Lamont Dozier story: After the the Four Tops had a hit with “I Can’t Help Myself (Sugar Pie Honey Bunch)” Berry Gordy wanted another Four Tops song released within a day. Dozier took the chords from “I Can’t Help Myself,” reversed them and called it “It’s The Same Old Song.”

You want this man to die BEFORE he can see everything he’s worked for humiliatingly stripped from him and forced to face the consequences of a life built on lies and hatred? Where’s your humanity?

Yeah, him stroking out on the witness stand would have been the perfect ending.

It’s funny because I hope he fucking dies.

So, my old man worked with a bloke who had like 11 near-death experiences. And we’re not talking about “Gosh, if I didn’t look in that shop window for half a minute and instead crossed the road when I gonna, I’d have been hit by that car!” sort of near-death experiences.

Aneurysms scare the crap out of me because they seem to happen to anyone regardless of health and there is not much you can do about it. I also fear the thing Emilia did where you have one, they save your live but you are not “you” anymore. My mother-in-law suffered one 25 years ago and while she survived, its not a…

This could’ve been my story, minus the STD situation and with somewhat more reasonable sex ed. I was the evangelical proselytizer kid. I went on school forums and bitched out the liberals with rants about how gay people were bad. I made a lot of enemies. I swore I was doing the right thing.

So, it’s a movie that glorifies farm life, makes a virtue of ignorance, and represents a quality education and life in the city as corrupting forces that separate a man from his values. Was this picture by any chance bankrolled by the Republican Party?

I like to imagine that Kazuki Takahashi is now chilling in the afterlife with Atem, Mahaad, Mana, Seth and all the others.

Between this and Steve Irwin, I’m thinking if I ever get rich I’m just gonna avoid snorkeling/scuba diving.

This is legitimately shocking. Yu-Gi-Oh was one of the few shows where I read the manga as well as watched the anime. Also shocked that he was 60. Thought he was way younger.

It’s been true for a long time that risks to the fetus are prioritized far above risks to a pregnant woman — to the point that merely the possibility of pregnancy puts females at risk during their fertile years because it needlessly delays or even outright denies them care. Most people have been unaware of this, but…

During my time growing up, I’ve had a bunch of random health issues that people might laugh at. I had alopecia where I had random patches of my face that didn’t grow facial hair and random parts of my head that lost hair. I have an eye condition where I am legally blind. I’ve had nerve issues where I have lost feeling…

It is really so hard to understand why this happens?

The Crass symbol was basically the banner under which punks beat skinheads on sight during the ‘80s/’90s. The campaign was so pervasive — I used to doodle the symbol on my binders! — and unrelenting that skins just stopped showing their true colours in public (for a while... *sigh*)

Yeah, the anarchopunk scene is aways quite pointedly forgotten - the nice official story is that the kids were all raging about unflattering trousers and prog rock.

You know, we have had a pretty good run. Might be time to let the sharkcano purify the world

They should have made a Crass show instead. Those are good people who did cool shit, like spend all of their earnings from gigs on feeding the town’s homeless, and they helped other bands get their music out.
