Dick: My brother officially turned 10 yesterday and because I was in Bloodhaven I couldn't see him. So, I called instead to sing happy birthday and when I was done he said "Tt gay" and hung up on me.

Other Police Officer: Is that the same brother that put his burned hand on your heart because "it was so nice and cold"

Dick: Nah that was Jason.

Other Police Officer: How many siblings do you have??

Dick: Legally, emotionally, or physically?

hi i’m seeing no one talk about this cover??? this is HAUNTING, it’s dedicated it to everyone who’s died from the coronavirus so far especially healthcare staff i just,,,

Hozier singing trad song “The Parting Glass”

Other celebrities: (goopily drip upon, of all things, “imagine”)

Us: (call for the guillotine)

Hozier: (a bittersweet lad, sings an ancient song to the departed)

Us: play this over silent, crisply shot black and white footage of the empty streets and silent landmarks. cut with shots of our drowning hospitals. An acceptable future documentary of 2020 that we will allow.

My audio processing isnt working in the brain. Can someone PLEASE tell me what the crud he’s saying because all i can make out are sounds not words

Saw your post while skimming through the reblog and did not see an answer, so for accessibility!  Hozier is singing the following:

Of all the money that e’er I had / I spend it in good company

And of all the harm that e’er I done / Alas it was to none but me

For all I’ve done for want of wit / to memory now I can’t recall

So fill to me the parting glass / good night and joy be with you all.

Of all the comrades that e’er I had / they’re sorry for my going away

And of all the sweethearts that e’er I had / they’d wish me one more day to stay

But as it falls unto my lot / that I must go and you must not

I’ll gently rise and I’ll softly call / good night and joy be with you all.

when i first read the lyrics to this a year or so ago, i always thought it was a sad song (contrary to what google says about it being a pub song), and hearing this solemn and heartfelt rendition by hozier always makes me tear up

Google’s technically right, it is a pub song, but not in the sense you’re thinking. This is what I call an “end of the night” song - these tend to be somber, nostalgic, and contain references to a final drink/toast eg “the parting glass” usually either in memory of death, or in the knowledge of death to come. Others include Auld Lang Syne and Health to the Company. They’re “let’s drink to old times because we might not all meet here again” songs.

In Welsh-speaking Wales, it’s Yma o Hyd. Which actually translates to “We’re still here lol”, but it’s not a joke song. Yma o Hyd is a resistance song about how, in spite of everyone and everything that England has done and tried to do to us, we’re still here. We’re still able to go to the pub, and join together in a shared community, in Welsh. We’re still a culture that can do this. We’re still here.

It even has a verse name dropping Thatcher.

Wait, wait…. Is that seriously it? How their clothes go?

Squares and rectangles: easy to weave!! No cutting means no hemming.

And easy to construct, you don’t have to have complicated seaming and patterning to turn fabric into clothing!

Has anyone already reblogged this with saris? It’s cool how many cultures have similarities like this hidden in plain sight.

Since we are here might as well share the dhoti and the lungi

It’s only men in the photos but really anyone can wear them. I am wearing a lungi right now.

I also know Thailand and Sri Lanka have their versions of a lungi as well.

the fact that "getting swatted" is a thing that regularly happens to internet microcelebrities in the US is absolutely fucking insane

silver lining is it means anyone above a certain level of fame in the internet commentariat fucking despises the cops

was listening to the most recent episode of the yard (youtube podcast with four white guys as the hosts) and they were talking pretty candidly about how it was a traumatizing experience (and, i think, a radicalizing one).

all four guys were probably left-leaning beforehand, just based on what i know of them, but they generally steer clear of politics, and hearing all four of them talk shit about the cops and discuss police brutality and racism was wild

anyway take it from slime and not me
