Another Angry Womanwhen peace comes at last, children play on the old battlefields and don't think of what came before them
if you go knocking on enough doors asking to see the devil, eventually he may answer
beeks!
John H@stavvers Harry Potter and the Collapsing Island, Martin Scorsese's best film since Goncharov (1973)
Myno 🐀@stavvers this sounds twice as memorable as the actual plot AND it has 100% more minivans, win-win
@mynotaurus RIGHT? bigot wizard lady could never
aaron "Tuppence"@stavvers ooh I've not had a marmy klemp since I was little
@aaronhowe they're crap now because of the sugar tax
@stavvers Sadly so. Back then you could walk into any branch of Stanley's Klemps and you knew you'd get the same quality whether you were in Basildon, Little Oakshed or Scarfolk; now you have to make them at home if you can even get the licensing for it. Sad times.
Angela Glansbury 🚽@floppyplopper @stavvers You seemed like the type tbf. I've never been accustomed to the terror spicing, but maybe I need to try again now my taste buds are more matured.
Charlie Stross@stavvers @aaronhowe Anyone else hankering for a Marmite Butterscotch Surprise?
Josh (he/his)@stavvers it means he can take a rainbow
And wrap it in a sigh
Soak it in the sun and make a groovy lemon pie.
(But in a slutty way)
And also he has poor circulation
Growth & Resilience@stavvers love the user names here. Very creative
Evan Prodromou@stavvers all cat-police are bastards
Mediajolt@stavvers One of my friends, with German ancestry, told me a former boyfriend of hers used to refer to them as East and West Berlin.
Jack@stavvers that’s pretty much everyone’s range of emotions isn’t it?
Outeast@stavvers I heard Byrne singing them. Could easily be Talking Heads lyrics.
Max™@stavvers So my joker origin is realizing despite how much I hate the grinch, I'm bottom left on that chart, so I shall become... THE GUNCH!
JulieEmery@stavvers Bizarre!
@stavvers Oh my god all my Facebook posts are going to start with this now.

@stavvers this makes me even angrier about the fact that we spent half of my first ever music lesson in school learning the correct way to draw a treble clef.
@The4thCircle omg same, and because of that I can probably draw a better one than literally any of them, an entirely useless skill
@stavvers I'm calling it, this makes us better composers than any of those try hards.
@The4thCircle @stavvers
It needs to indicate the G, Beethoven's is a perfectly good G-clef. Sorry I'm taking this seriously.

I never knew that. What is the bass clef meant to look like/indicate?
@The4thCircle
Indicates the F
You can see some of the early forms of the G-clef when you scroll down to the history.

I asked around my work recently and I'm one of only 2 people who can read music. Deeply sad, all of the knowledge and culture locked away in not participatory social norms.

I'd love to learn to read music and play music, and draw, and sculpt and speak French and German and Swedish... But there's only so many hours in the day you know?

so long as you do one of those things that's great!

@floppyplopper reading now about how these symbols developed I'm actually questioning some of these clefs even more. They don't seem to be specifying a single line. Some of them have a main loop which barely contains the G line or contains multiple lines...
@The4thCircle
I think this is all manuscript, it just needs to be legible to a publisher who probably is used to interpreting rough manuscripts. If it was for performance that would may be different. These are unambiguously good G-clefs for what they need to do.
Mozart composed freehand and simply published with very few corrections. Very different to the manuscript of an author which would have gone through several revisions.
susan_lanigan@stavvers oh god this is brilliant!
@susan_lanigan If I ever met OP, I would not just shake her hand, but curtsey to her
@stavvers I'd love a Gen X equivalent, they're even worse than the boomer dads.
@stavvers Mix up They Might Be Giants and the Foo Fighters
@susan_lanigan oh my GOD the fun you could have by declaring everything Nirvana
Andras Forgacs W. 
@stavvers @susan_lanigan Smack My Bitch up from Nirvana
Matt Stine@stavvers or everything Nirvana something else. Lithium by REM
@susan_lanigan Could get extra fun by ALWAYS switching nirvana/foo fighters and then innocently pointing out 'look, Grohl is in the band right' "yeah" 'so it's gotta be [whichever is incorrect out of nirvana/foo fighters] right?' and then mute the screams of anguish and rage.
Chris@susan_lanigan @stavvers I'm 52, father of two; my youngest is 19. My generation is mostly a bunch of assholes who swore they'd never turn out like their parents, but did anyways. I love how the younger generations troll the hell out of my generation and older. It makes my day hearing things like this
@susan_lanigan @stavvers hey now... 😂😂😂
