On 'Cotton Crown' by Sonic Youth, Thurston Moore and Kim Gordon sing 'You got your cotton crown' multiple times at the end. Gordon accidentally sings it one too many times and trails off, like, 'You got your cott — uh'.
In 'Maxwell's Silver Hammer', on the second verse Paul McCartney laughs while singing the word 'writing', reportedly because John Lennon mooned him from the control booth. Another Beatles one is on 'What Goes On' when Ringo Starr sings 'Tell me why' and you can hear Lennon shout 'We already told you why!', presumably in reference to their earlier song 'Tell Me Why', which Starr also sang.
There's a really famous one on Nirvana's cover of 'The Man Who Sold the World'. At the beginning of the guitar solo, Kurt Cobain misses the note then overcorrects and misses it again, but it's a surprisingly musical-sounding error. I doubt he'd have dubbed it regardless!
I mean, just google what a Ulez camera is, man. It's to enforce a low-emissions zone, so that cars don't kill people with air pollution. It's an expansion of the already successful low and ultra-low emissions zones in London.
The explosion didn't hurt anyone but that was pure luck. You cannot safely blow something up on a public road. Anyone who'd been walking, cycling or driving by at the wrong moment could've been seriously injured or killed. Again, this is obvious.
And, yes, anyone who responds to a public health policy with explosives is an extremist.
Fair enough, thank you for the correction. It was higher than elsewhere because of the Truss mini-budget and Brexit and still is higher than it otherwise would've been without those factors.
A few people here have pointed this out already, but people have thought the End was pretty Nigh for about as long as we've been thinking about things.
Other people are countering this point by saying, 'Ah, but this time it's real!' which doesn't prove anything. People thought it was real all those previous times (the ecological collapse on Easter Island, or the Bronze Age collapse, or the Roman Civil Wars, or the Black Death, or the French Revolution or the Cold War etc.) and not many of them killed themselves or joined suicide cults, so why would people act differently now?
This isn't to be pollyannaish about things. All the examples I gave above really did kill huge numbers of people and the Cold War in particular really could've caused the collapse of modern civilisation (if a nuclear war had broken out). Climate change, war and resurgent fascism are truly huge problems. I just don't think the particular example of suicide cults is a very likely development.
This is an improvement, obviously, but 4.6% is still quite high, it's not thanks to the Tories that it's fallen and it's only retreating from a record high that was largely caused by the Tories.
It makes the roads safer and that saves lives. It reduces pollution, saving more lives. It also saves space. That doesn't save lives, granted, but it's still a good thing.
If we accept any use cases for cars (and I do, personally), even if it's primarily in the short to medium term while we build better urban infrastructure, then we should also advocate for those cars to be as small, as safe and as clean as possible.
Exactly this. There are some clear use cases for cars and even for SUVs (possibly only if you literally live or work on a large farm). There's no case for driving an SUV in a city. It's antisocial behaviour at best and actively threatening at worst!
To be honest, I'm sick of trying to politely persuade people to stop killing other people with their idiotic cars. All cars are bad, yes. SUVs are the worst. It's perfectly reasonable to try to solve a wicked problem by going for the worst offenders first.
Not a line, but in Ratatouille there's a point where Linguini is trying to explain to his love interest that he's being guided by a rat in his hat and he's saying, 'I've got a tiny... little...' We see the reaction shot of her looking confused/disgusted and very quickly glancing down at his crotch.
It's just a fraction of a second, but a great gag for the grownups anyway!
Good point, we should use the steam rising off these dudes to power turbines for clean electricity, instead of letting it leak wastefully into the atmosphere.
They go exactly in the middle, of course. Straight to Purgatory.
It explains in the article what the criteria used were. You're welcome to critique that, of course, and I have done elsewhere, but you should read the article, if only so you can critique it properly!
