valentine’s day is as good a day as any to remind everyone that the video for “kiss from a rose” consists of seal crooning from the rooftops of gotham city interspersed with clips from BATMAN FOREVER
strongly agree. and the movie tie-in single. give me another “deepest bluest” please.
don’t forget the inexplicable video for the Diddy and Jimmy Page collaboration “Come With Me” for the Godzilla (1998) soundtrack
hell yeah there’s a great jamiroquai single on it for one
“iris” is a stone cold classic and CITY OF ANGELS is a forgotten movie
not only is Gangsta’s Paradise the single for DANGEROUS MINDS but the framing device for the video is michelle pfeiffer asking Coolio “what this is all about” and then he raps his answer
anyway i need to actually sleep so let me end this thread by saying my actual favorite Seal song is “Future Love Paradise”

sometimes i think about the incredibly strange teenaged mutant ninja turtles rip-offs from my childhood. you know, your “street sharks” and “bike mice from mars”. ImageImage
*biker mice
once tried to explain street sharks to my wife and she gave me a look of “oh no what did i get myself into”

even the slow-ass northeast regional is so much better than flying that when traveling to DC or New York from central virginia i will take it each time over a flight
anyway Cato is just doing the bidding of their fossil fuel masters. in the real world, forward-thinking states (like Virginia!) are planning big expansions of passenger rail because it is a) more cost-effective than new highways and b) very popular
connecting the nation's major metro areas by *any* passenger rail, to say nothing of high speed rail, would be transformative

i'm about halfway through @ProfEFP's book "Ku-Klux: The Birth of the Klan During Reconstruction" and it is absolutely fascinating uncpress.org/book/978146965…
in particular, the ways in which mass media helped spread the idea of "ku-klux" violence which in turn shapes how victims and perpetrators of violence in the reconstruction south present their experiences and motives
it's that relationship to media which seems to be a real point of continuity between the reconstruction klan and the "second klan" of the 1910s and 20s.

i mean it is obviously wind waker. great game, but a second-tier zelda compared to the other three
now swap out wind waker for Majora’s Mask and then we’re dropping Ocarina, no question
and A Link to the Past is probably still the Platonic zelda game

you’ll forget that willem dafoe is in this

no evidence as far as i understand it that a child allowance would disincentivize work and also, raising children is work my dude
“if it doesn’t receive a market wage it’s not work” is pure neoliberal brain
also, once again, no one has this concern for the idle rich and their children
