A few people were wondering if there is a possibility of maybe making a song with Käärijä. What do you say?

"tHeRe Is AlWaYs A pOsSiBiLiTy"

There was a school shooting in Vantaa today. Jere's heart story is his way of acknowledging and saying his condolences. Please be respectful.

a major bridge in my home city practically disintegrated this morning when a cargo boat crashed into one of the legs and now im just sad and really homesick

i have a lot of thoughts and don't want to say too much on my facebook so

i hated driving on that bridge, i hated being on bridges at all but not because that particular one was unsafe or anything, however watching how fast it fell into the river makes me feel like it was in fact unsafe. baltimore is a historic port city, built on a huge bay thats fed into by an equally huge river, this bridge was one of two that are essential for traffic in and out of the city unless coming in by boat or something

besides, the thing was iconic. and named over a historic figure that we're actually quite proud of having as a local. a lot of cityscapes were taken with this bridge in it and i dont know a local who doesn't travel on it rather frequently.

baltimore is one of the most dangerous cities in the usa. i know a lot of people don't think too highly of it, many of my own family included. but i love baltimore

if you ask me, baltimore is one of the best places to go. there are awesome music and concert venues, the food made at local restaurants cant be beat, and the museums are absolutely everything. the last time i was there was last fall to see queen+adam lambert which was absolutely fucking amazing

im just feeling a little sad for my home city. i wasn't raised there, being a bit of a smalltown country brat, but i lived there as an adult before moving abroad and have so many good memories there

if you know me irl, i know i can talk shit about baltimore and tell people not to go there without a local or at least an itinerary (just don't look lost, okay? ppl everywhere prey on that shit) but most of us are good, nice people who'll give the shirt off their backs if you ask. but we all joke about it because its coping, you know? like, when trxmp called us a disgusting city of rats or whatever it was, we all leaned into that hard. you can still buy tshirts and misc souvenirs of baltimore rats. hell, one of my favorite shirts has baltimore under the reading rainbow with the tagline theres more than just m*rder here. that shits funny okay?

baltimore had enough struggles to deal with, we didn't need this too. and i know, other places are experiencing worse. but this sucks too. on top of a scary election year, a horrifying political landscape, and increasing christocentrism, antisemitism and all the other stupid ways we look to harm each other, now we have this "mass casualty event", six people still missing in the patapsco, and a hugely damaged local infrastructure, part of a national infrastructure that honestly should be upgraded everywhere, now and not when things actually collapse and people die.

baltimore is a nice place and i will die on this hill. i hope they can rescue the missing people safely and everyone can recover well, healthily, and safely.

keeping my baltimore in my heart, mind, and prayers and hoping we can get an answer to what exactly happened to cause this.

Here I go, speed-translating KUUMAA lyrics instead of working. Just in case lovely peeps who don't speak Finnish wanted to understand the lyrics to the new song that are, once again, disgustingly bojere coded, excuse me.

Behold: Tuhoaisti - KUUMAA (English translation by me)

I want everything, I want your everything Even though I haven’t slept at all It’s the destructive sense that confounds Prevents the ignited from going out

We don’t speak with words We were coded to fall in love in a different way We’re somehow the same and the opposite But no one else has struck through me like this Come through the wall without asking for permission And every cell of mine aches But I want, I want

Yes, I want everything, I want your everything Even though I haven’t slept at all It’s the destructive sense that confounds Prevents the ignited from going out And you’re the exception, the only exception That can make me break down It’s the destructive sense that confounds Prevents the ignited from going out

When you’re not here Your shadow paints my walls I keep the lights on But your voice keeps moaning in my ears And you’ve won It’s no use trying to pretend I’m stronger What I ran from before Now I want it, I want it

Yes, I want everything, I want your everything Even though I haven’t slept at all It’s the destructive sense that confounds Prevents the ignited from going out And you’re the exception, the only exception That can make me break down It’s the destructive sense that confounds Prevents the ignited from going out

genuinely one of the saddest parts of this new era of the internet is how hard it is to rick roll someone now. with people's attention spans shortening so much, they wouldn't even get through the first few bait seconds before clicking off the video. like i saw a comment that ended with "btw i made all of this up" and the replies kept treating it so seriously because none of them finished the entire 4 sentence comment. and We're no strangers to love You know the rules and so do I (do I) A full commitment's what I'm thinking of You wouldn't get this from any other guy I just wanna tell you how I'm feeling Gotta make you understand Never gonna give you up Never gonna let you down Never gonna run around and desert you Never gonna make you cry Never gonna say goodbye Never gonna tell a lie and hurt you

It's still kinda wild how Phineas and Ferb managed to completely hijack an idiom. Now whenever someone hears a sentence leading with "If I had a nickel for everytime [...]", odds are their brain auto fills with "I'd have two nickels. Which isn't a lot, but it's weird that it happened twice," rather than "I'd be rich," or "I could [action that requires purchasing something requiring an obscene amount of money]". Y'know, what the idiom originally was

What is it that the child has to teach? The child naively believes that everything should be fair, and everyone should be honest, that only good should prevail, that everybody should have what they want and there should be no pain or sadness. The child believes the world should be perfect and is outraged to discover it is not. And the child is right.
