x-post to self OK, I know it is fascist and am not really advocating for it BUT I saw a story about a woman who left her kids in the car because they didn't want to get out and two hours later they were dead because it was 100+ in the car. She went inside and got high and took a nap while they baked to death. She claimed she thought the three year old would be able to let them out. As someone who isn't a parent but desperately wants kid(s) this shit makes me livid.

Everyone should see Stop Making Sense at least once. Even non-Talking Heads fans. With an audience, if possible.'Pleasure of Love' > 'Genius of Love' = not that controversial imo.

I like SMS but it's a produced, blocked and presumably practised piece of theatre just as much or more than it is a great live show caught on tape

― scott seward, Monday, 7 May 2018 15:04 (six years ago) link
yes but it also removes the dissonance from not liking the band so much but liking SMS

Yeah, was gonna say, wanko, I think you just perfectly summed up the appeal and I don't think it pretends to be anything else. It's a concert specifically constructed as a filmic experience.

terf bangs is inaccurate, it's a super common haircut

god, of course not everyone who has "terf bangs" is a terf - it's a common haircut as you say, and like, i know a trans woman who has those kind of bangs. it's just kind of funny because it is a common feature of online terfs on twitter or what have you. ok it may not be that funny but it's a thing, it makes sense
― ( ͡☉ ͜ʖ ͡☉) (jim in vancouver), Monday, 7 May 2018 18:35 (six years ago) link
it's one of those things that works only in one direction
if you have the bangs, probably not a terf. if you're an online terf, you probably got em

Everyone who had "mall bangs" in the 80s actually went to malls though

I would disagree with flopson, radical politics requires radical bangs therefore no nearer than 1/2" to the brow

touché. as someone who had a 'hitler youth' haircut in 2012, i am obviously biased

tbh I think the rise of queer haircuts is the best trend of the 2010s. Certainly helped me figure out what to do with my hair.

I don't know what a terf bangs is though
speaking of spock, i remember back when the locust etc was a gigantic thing in san diego we called the screamo haircut "the spock"

These bangs are also known as having a drink and cutting your own hair or cutting your bangs before they fully dry.
