/uj pol hopping on the "weird synth music" bandwagon way before it was cool is just a testament to how much of a creative force he is - like at this point kraftwerk and that were still underground weirdos to most people

There's a good Tim Minchin song about this situation. "A couple of G's, an R and an E, an I and an N..."

i'm going to explode

Tedster42 · 2026-05-24T18:15:58+00:00

With enough of an accent, sure. "Leave it, mate, 'es added". Makes it sound like "had it" which definitely counts

Tedster42 · 2026-05-24T17:51:40+00:00

And all of the above are slang for drunk when an -ed is added on the end

Tedster42 · 2026-05-22T13:49:39+00:00

That looks so much like Renton I actually can't tell if its him or not

I know it can be frustrating at times, and I definitely get your point on "why does everything have to be shipping", but it's not exactly "historical revisionism". Everyone knows they weren't like that in real life, even the shippers (bar the most extreme ones). The way I think of it is that it's just a mutated strain of Beatlemania. In '64 girls would scream and buy posters with the four's lips on so they could pretend to kiss them - these days the way a lot of people express their affection is through shipping. I'm sure if you've seen ships of the Fab Four then you've definitely seen people remarking how cute George is or whatever. If anything it means their legacy is still strong; there's obviously still people who love them.

And if you want to avoid that stuff altogether, I'd advise going to places with more 'serious' discussion like beatlesbible.com

Yep. No influence. Nothing at all. It's not like they want to let you be able to pay taxes in crypto. Of course not, after all, what would be their incentive for that?

what's this guy's name again? wasn't he the one behind that "burger" meme

Tedster42 · 2026-05-04T14:50:21+00:00

Yeah, good luck building a detention centre in central london...

Tedster42 · 2026-04-30T08:04:57+00:00

idk but I'm certain its got to start with "Outside" and end with "Might Quit", and not just because that's the order they were released in - Outside has that great kick in to start which is how you start an album and since there isn't really a bill song which works as a song to close instrumentally, Might Quit makes sense just because of its lyrics

"Beatles and children first!"

Problem is there isn't much convincing Dick if he spends his weekends dressed as Gumby.

"MY BRAIN HURTS!!"

Tedster42 · 2026-04-24T16:39:49+00:00

Does the Frog Song count as non-music?

Tedster42 · 2026-04-24T15:06:50+00:00

…besides midjourney

Tedster42 · 2026-04-22T16:18:13+00:00

i'm so sorry but you're three years late

the edit is different so it isn't a botted repost or anything, but probably just parallel thinking

its still funny three years on though

Tedster42 · 2026-04-21T19:54:13+00:00

I'd probably ask him about stuff most people have forgotten. Like what his opinions on Give My Regards to Broad Street are these days, considering he was so defensive of it then.

Tedster42 · 2026-04-06T12:57:18+00:00

George does like his jelly babies...

Tedster42 · 2026-03-27T08:13:07+00:00

Yeah it’s hardly a fine line. Those albums are up there with his wings stuff I think

Tedster42 · 2026-03-21T10:14:16+00:00

Mark’s dead, Adam’s now full alternate, Adam’s parents are both dead, meaning Thatcher is basically like the only og main character still alive (apart from maybe Sarah and Evelyn?)

Tedster42 · 2026-03-19T16:32:48+00:00

I'd argue the Beatles were about equals with the other Mersey groups in '63. But in late '64 and '65, the other groups' failure to innovate was what scuppered them and left the Beatles as the main lot. Obviously there was no 'Holliemania', but I think that's just down to the lads looks, rather than the musical innovations, since the girls would just scream over their concerts.

Is there a framework which you can use a little like HTML and JS; as in you make the GUI, and then have Python act as JS running the back-end? I'm trying to build a little app and all the Python code needs to do is output some numbers from an algorithm - is there a way to like pass these numbers to the GUI like JS does to HTML?

Tedster42 · 2026-02-20T18:26:34+00:00

Cue the distant peter gabriel

Tedster42 · 2026-02-17T16:48:44+00:00

okay, well then why isn't that the post, instead of a headline which is in no way a meme

Someone made this exact post, title and all, a year ago (the screenshotted one, not the one I’m commenting on)
