the internal tension between being a prickly judgemental cunt and someone who loves people to the point of tears has resulted in a maxim i like to call Everyone Is Beautiful and I Hate Them So Much

while driving down the road i often think to myself how lucky it is that the adrenaline junkie romantics didn’t have cars. they got into enough shit with boats and carriages and horses.

byron literally had a dramatic black carriage designed to be exactly like napoleon’s but larger, complete with a bedroom and library. it was so big it broke down continuously. he also never paid the bill for it and the makers were still trying to collect it from his estate years later after he died.

percy and byron had a boat building competition and byron insisted on his (again) being nearly twice as big and having a library and bedroom inside it. then he barely even used the thing. percy customized his boat to go way too fast with multiple sails, an extremely low freeboard, and an extremely heavy ballast (… all contributing factors to why it wrecked and killed him).

if they lived today they would have had sports cars and shelley would have died like james dean.

i was today years old when i learned that james dean was cursed at birth to do crazy queer shit, become an unprecedented celebrity in the arts known for his emotionality, rebelliousness, & striking countenance, & then die young???????

Tom Gauld - Personajes epicos

Wow, now I want to write something that has all of these. In order. :)

I have Tom's print of this on the wall in my house, have had it for over a decade, and I look at it all the time and imagine the day that I will begin a book with everybody in it. But never wanted to put them in order.

The version I have on my wall is different. It includes “the wrestlers” and “the giant cat” (fighting “the devil”, obviously).

Neither version has “the detective” or the “the detective’s handsome assistant” which would have been useful for identifying my Dungeons & Dragons characters. 😄

Any common face mask provides significant protection against the virus that causes COVID-19, but N95 masks are most effective at slashing the amount emitted by infected people, according to a University of Maryland-led study released Wednesday.

So-called “duckbill” N95 masks scored highest in the study, which measured the exhaled breath of participants who were tested both masked and unmasked to measure comparative outputs of SARS-CoV-2. The inexpensive masks, which have two head straps and a horizontal seam, captured 98% of exhaled virus, according to the study published in eBioMedicine.

The researchers also found that—in what might come as a surprise to many—cloth masks outperformed the specific brand of KN95 mask that was tested. Surgical masks brought up the rear in performance out of the four types, but even they blocked 70% of the virus, the tests showed. (To reflect the general public's use of masks, study volunteers were not fit-tested for their masks or trained how to properly wear them.)

“The research shows that any mask is much better than no mask, and an N95 is significantly better than the other options. That’s the No. 1 message,” says the study’s senior author, Donald Milton, a professor of environmental health and a global expert on how viruses spread through the air.

The article above didn't link to the study, so I found it, and it's open access!

I cannot stand the parodies of modern major general, they're overdone and simply not as good as the original. They've done them about everything, whatever topic, big or small.

And when i notice one of them my eyes will always start to roll.

The diction's always slurry when they rush the complicated words, and adding many fricatives will turn it so cacophonous. The slanted rhymes are silly and they keep just making more and more, please someone stop the parodies of modern major general.

The scanning of the lyrics in the meter is unbearable, they emphazise the syllables in ways that are untenable, in short in matters musical, prosodic and ephemeral, i cannot stand the parodies of modern major general!
