The other version is 2/4, actually, I fat-fingered the keyboard there. They both have two beats to the bar, but the 6/8 one has nice even triple eighths while the 2/4 has 8th/2-16th patterns.

I think Handel felt the 2/4 version was an *improvement* somehow 😱😱😱

“For unto us” is objectively the best, but I’ll also put in a vote for “Rejoice greatly” (only if it’s the 6/8 version though; the 3/4 version can go kick rocks)

It’s not even a denial, it’s an outright lie. They know, they just lie about it.

*canon

Otherwise, yes.

No, you *can* know, this has very specific markers

Hassett produces the same reaction for me

The syntax on that post already made its origins obvious

Ok, man, I got through the *whole day* managing to not become nauseated, but this did it, thank you not at all

This does not in any way break from my previous imagined assessment of either his sexual proclivities or his poetic skills tho

This saga is like Succession: everyone is terrible and you can’t really root for any of them

She explains it in the quoted pages — did you read them?

No no, just watch from a safe distance with your shield as a mirror, or by using one of those things that most smart people who are not the President use to look at an eclipse with

I mean, yes, but also, a lot of women already know. How about “every man needs to see this and be outraged by it”, since it’s so often men who keep denying the existence of sexism and misogyny, and pretending not to see it or downplaying it when it happens?

Like, he just entirely fails to read (or respect) the room
November 20, 2025 at 4:02 PM
I have many, but the tl;dr is that this sort of “well, I’ll just briefly, dryly mention it and then use my authority to say in my judgment it’s best to get on with class” like it’s a nothingburger is entirely on-brand (& despicable) from the guy who repeatedly said women are genetically inferior

Thank you! 👍

Do you have a link to a story about that? As a college professor, I would *love* to see how he handled that in class.
November 20, 2025 at 2:35 PM
That just made my head spin all the way around.

“Because our corrupt media does not call out our actions as inappropriate, that confirms they were appropriate.”

No, man, legacy media today is a funhouse mirror, not a window.

“Bit of an Ibsen play,” indeed
November 20, 2025 at 2:09 AM
Yeah, I can’t imagine he’s been getting a warm reception from students when he’s walked into class in the last 10 days — bet you could have cut that classroom atmosphere with a knife
