There's a Fall Out Boy song called Champagne for my Real Friends, Real Pain for my Sham Friends.

The adolescent in me can't help but think how much better this song would be with Shampoo instead

So God damn excited that my two favourite history-mongers are on here @patrickwyman.bsky.social and @dancarlin.bsky.social

Are there any other creators who put out similarly long-form content?

As a wee bare-faced preteen, I wanted so badly to be a Warhammer nerd (classic, not 40k) I just lacked the money!

What's the best way to absorb decades worth of lore quickly?

I still lack the funds, but I yearn for the lore! 40k too.

Has anybody rewritten some of the great songs that have aged tragically. There are some truly horrifyingly misogynistic tunes out there that are absolute bops.

Was starting to sing "She's a Lady" by Tom Jones to my daughter, and realised I didn't know the words. A quick Google later...I just can't!

Can anybody recommend some good people to follow on here who are focused on attachment parenting. A lot of the authors/creators I follow haven't migrated here (yet)

So I'm really keen to simplify my electric guitar setup with some key things in mind

I want to be able to play with headphones or quietly enough to avoid outraging my baby/wife/neighbours

I want it to be versatile enough that it doesn't feel out of place in any genre (major FoMo)

I've been trying to curate some playlists for my daughter and would love some input

I want to expose her to as wide a variety of music as possible

She can barely support her own head yet, so I have time!

Somebody told me when I was 29, that the music you enjoy when you hit ~30 years old is likely the music you'll listen to for the rest of your life.

"Well damn", I thought.
"I'd better start liking a lot more music"
