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!

<photo of Werner Herzog edited to look like a speech bubble so he is saying the post below>
“ Wile E. Coyote, despaired, takes a bucket of paint and a brush and paints a beautiful two-bedroom house on a mountainside. He paints a beautiful coyote wife in the window, and two adorable coyote kids running around in the yard. He tries to enter this new coyote life, but it is inaccessible to him”

The four panel Anakin and Padme meme, but with a bust of Socrates put over Anakin's face. In panel 1 he says "The unexamined life is not worth living." In panel 2 Padme is smiling and saying, "But if I examine my life it will definitely be worth living, right?" Panel 3 is a close up of the bust. Panel 4 is Padme looking worried saying, "It'll be worth living, right?"

Once upon a time there was a small desert village with a single well outside town. One day a young woman went to the well to fetch water, and the well heard her crying, and asked What's wrong?
She stopped her sobbing and asked the well You can talk?
"Yes," said the well. "Long ago, the witch who lives in this town gave me life so could serve as a guardian to the townspeople."
"Alas," said the young woman. "I am the daughter of that witch. She lived in peace with the townsfolk for many years. But the new mayor, who is a violent and hateful man, riled the people up against her, and they burned her at the stake. I am young and still do not know very much magic. I tried to curse them, but my curses fizzled. Now I worry I will never avenge my mother's death."
"Do not be afraid," said the well. "I will take care of this."
The next morning, when the Mayor came to fetch water from the well, he heard an odd noise coming from the bottom. He peered over as far as he could to see what was happening. Then an impossibly long arm shot up from the bottom of the well, grabbed the mayor, and pulled him into the well shaft. There was a horrible crunching sound, and nobody ever saw the Mayor again. The townsfolk apologized to the witch's daughter, and they all lived happily ever after.
Moral of the story: living well is the best revenge

Overexplaining a thing: this is the "Epic Handshake" meme, which is a long-running meme template that uses a painterly rendering of Arnold Schwarzenegger and Carl Weathers manfully clasping fists near the start of Predator as the basis for jokey Venn Diagram juxtapositions.

The joke here on its face is an anodyne play on getting drunk on hard seltzer and has nothing to do with race. I'm not sure what plausible interpretation would bring that under consideration. Like if it turns out there's some attested derogatory association between Black people and two-toed sloths that'd be good to know but, uh

@misslivie Maybe? There's a big hunter culture there (along with most of the northeast; I grew up in Pennsylvania for which deer hunting is such a thing that schools close for the first day of deer season in most of the state), which means a lot of guns are around whether or not accompanied by the stereotypical gun culture.

Funny story: My, now, 97 year old grandmother was an operator for AT&T for years, and part of her retirement package was a free phone line with all the bells and whistles for life. They tried to turn it off this week and she called customer service and got nowhere. My aunt found a VP and lit them up for trying to deny agreed upon contractual benefits to a "phone service pioneer."* Her phone service is apparently back today.

Second fun fact: she refuses to use a cell phone for any reason. "Why would I want to carry a phone around with me?" She knows what's up.

*she connected the first cellular phone call in the state of SC... in 1974.

A photo of me, wearing headphones, in preparation for a video interview. In the background is the Norwegian forest I was sitting in for the call.
Had a Zoom interview I scheduled while on family vacation here in Bergen, Norway, because I was too excited about the role. Chuckled with a friend via text beforehand because instead of a fake green screen background I just had a literal Norwegian forest.

@nikkuneko It went well! I’m doing my damndest to not get too excited/get my hopes up, but would be so so so excited if I landed it.
I think the Norse forest magic DID help, thaaaanks!

@homerj The funny thing is that my phone died halfway-through and I quick plugged it into a mobile charger and got back on. They said they were surprised by the fact that my reception held up as long as it did - I explained I had full bars, just didn’t pay attention to my battery level. 😂

Where in Bergen are you? Norwegian here, but I live in the south. All my wife’s family lives in Bergen.

@hassebasse we were only there for a day trip - we started in Voss, then spent about 12hrs in Bergen (mostly just by the harbor, but this was up in Bergens fjellstrekninger), before heading to Oslo for a few days. Tomorrow evening we’ll take the night ferry to Copenhagen for a day or two before flying back to Iceland and back to the states.
As much as part of me wishes we could have gotten up to Lillehammer where my great-grandparents were from, I think we nailed it for a trip with a squirrelly 7yo.
