An area of outstanding natural beauty. And rural Bucks is also nice, I guess 😏

A significant day for #brandJohnnyJR 🥳

[eminence-front]

I officially own every Waters-era Pink Floyd album! (aka, the good ones)

Here's my complete collection of the pre-87 discography, plus all my other assorted Floydery - compilations, solo albums, films, etc.

[georgeknightley]

unfortunately all the clips of the how do you cope pod of John listening carefully and looking all soft and gentle and caring have made me feel very Something

i understand this and greatly sympathise anon

[eminence-front]

It's crazy how certain people in the Pink Floyd fandom will treat Roger with a level of scorn normally reserved for rapists, pedophiles, abusers, and other assorted monsters. And for what? Being difficult to work with? I didn't realise that was a crime worthy of unpersoning.

Let me share those tags with the rest of tumblr

[pinkswall11]

do you guys think between hating on each other david questioned why roger got him to the vocals for the character representing his mom or was he done questioning things at that point

[candyfloss-techno-hell]

Duolingo kinda sucks as a method for learning a language but I’m still OVER! EFFING! JOYED! that Johnny JR wants to speak my mother tongue 🥳

Ivo was correct, ep #526 is a top-tier slice of content.

[haughtyraban]

“there’s an ai tool for that” okay ?? there’s probably an ed sheeran song for it too who gives a fuck

[parakeet]

if you go looking for doom and gloom all you will see is doom and gloom. if you go looking for reduced items at the grocery store you may find a littol treat

If I tried to drive a car id probably kill everybody and myself in the process

this is the core of why some women defend beauty standards - if they’re deconstructed even a little they have to face how much money/time they’ve sunk into them. it also exposes how untrue “i did it for myself” really is - if that was true, you wouldn’t be upset that other bodies are being uplifted

[georgeknightley]

absolutely HUGE news

[candyfloss-techno-hell]

This really feels like the umbilical cord of the BBC is just about to be severed, and I honestly couldn’t be happier about it. Love the Patreon thing, and the fact that the average listener won’t be losing any content - though I do hope as some have said, that now that the footage of each episode will be released in full, the audio of the podcast will remain the only thing strictly required to understand what’s going on.

The brand new series sounds great, if it’s anything like the bonus eps of the early BBC era (which I wasn’t around for), it’s sure to be an absolute blast. How will it be funded though? Just because it’s only available on Patreon doesn’t mean it’s only fan money and no YouTube ad revenue, which is a mild shame. Still, the YT channel is undeniable convenient (and long overdue).

My least favorite new politically correct term is "unhoused." Like you can just tell it was created to make liberals feel less icky when talking about homeless people.

I was homeless. I was homeless as a child and as an adult. That shit sucks believe it or not.

The uncertainty. The ever-present grimy feeling from lack of access to running water. Having nothing to your name. The shame you feel is asking your fellow man for the bare minimum. Just so much shame, man.

"Unhoused" is so clinical. A technical term. Sure, its not incorrect, but it doesn't properly convey the emotional and psychological impact homelessness has on you.

You say "house", I think of a structure.

You say "home", I think of stability.

"You will often be subjected to uncomfortable situations in public and you should learn to navigate that" and "if you play your music out loud in a public hike then the other hikers should be allowed to hunt you for sport" are two sentiments that can and should co-exist
