There are many singers who everyone knows—and then there are real geniuses very few people know. Among the most criminally unknown is Lorez Alexandria. You can’t go wrong with any part of her discography, so I’ll select a few here.
Since it wasn’t up on YouTube, I uploaded her first LP, which is a fantastic live tribute to Lester Young.
Her badass version of Hoagy Carmichael’s “Baltimore Oriole”—with Jimmy Garrison on bass—is one of the hippest records ever.
I also really love the theme from Fellini’s “La Strada” with English lyrics.
Lorez Alexandria was the best on ballads—and here’s my favorite, hands down. You think you’ve heard “Over the Rainbow” too many times for it to hit you where you live, but dig this one. Perfect.

After all, we’re just searching for a way to live in the 21st Century without becoming a woke, pussified country that burns down its own heritage and makes war on biology, morals and reality.
We’re obviously not the only ones—people in Europe, Latin America and the Middle East are looking to do this as well. It has massive popular support.

But it’s hard to accomplish, for several reasons.
One that isn’t talked about a lot is that, for 25 years, the default “educated” elite view has presented only 1 option for modernizing. This is what people call “globalist,” and it’s a set of biases more than anything else. You can only become Sweden, or whatever Euro template.

IDEA: if you’ve ever tweeted more than 10x about Star Wars, you’re automatically enlisted in Space Force and sent to a brutal boot camp for 3 months.
This will solve many of society’s problems, I think.
Might as well skip the psych eval. Not enough trained shrinks in America.

Dating women who don’t see my tweets is weird but good.
It gives you perspective and underscores how little of what goes on here is anything resembling real life.
I used to have what I called “the Sally Test,” named for a non-tweeting girlfriend. If there was something that happened on twitter I thought she’d get a kick out of hearing about, I used that quick Test.

Allow me. I have been working to expose this one for nearly a decade. Everything Google+Facebook+Twitter= A secret Monopoly That runs the Internet. Combine that with the 6 TV networks & You get the Secret Super Monopoly that controls everything you see, think, want & buy. #Qanon
Have you never thought it odd how the news is always talking about who said what on Twitter? That is advertising & if it were not for that no 1 would ever have used Twitter. Why advertise your competition for free. You were either herded here or are hear because everyone else was
Why when you have to confirm your Twitter account do you have to agree to Googles terms & conditions? Doesn't Google have it's own social network? #wwg1wga #MAGA

Hello everyone, welcome a thread about spoilers! No actual spoilers, just the concept of spoilers. Buckle up, because this might take a bit:

There's been a disturbing amount of stories lately of people getting violent over getting spoiled. And, a disturbing amount of people-
using those stories as justifications for their dickish crusade of spoiling everything and anything wherever they go.

Both parties are the absolute worst.

Someone taking steps to avoid spoiling something is a courtesy. And like any courtesy, you're a horrible person if-
you demand people do it for you. If you don't like spoilers, it is YOUR job to take steps to avoid them. Step away from social media, wear headphones into the theatre, call in sick if it means so much to you! Very few people know about how much that means to you, and fewer still-

I have said this earlier and will do so again:
Our country India has achieved independence from the British since 1947, but English still plays a big role in our life.
Why is that?
(1)
 #Sanskrit
First of all, there is no one, uniform Indian culture. Our country is a mixture of cultures, where each culture has its own language. We have Marathi, Hindi, Tamil, Telegu, Bengali, Malayalam, Kannada, Mizo, Meitei, Kashmiri and all their dialects.

 #Sanskrit
Many people hail the fact that despite this diversity, we are still United. But then how do people from two cultures who can't speak each other's language communicate? Through English ofcourse. A man from Maharashtra who knows Marathi won't be able to communicate
