Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Awesome.

Fame costs.

And right here is where you start paying.

In blood.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

What does this mean:

I had this explained in a simplified (I think over-simplified) way in a class on Ibsen. The prof. said that you start with a Thesis (which I guess is some idea about society) which then results in some people taking the opposite view, or the Antithesis. Then people incorporate these two ideas together, which is the Synthesis. Then the Synthesis becomes a new Thesis, and the cycle continues.

I don't know if this explains anything better than your quote. Maybe we can wait for someone who knows what they're talking about to come along.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

I guess I note here that EM was the model for one of the characters on Fame (the movie, not the TV show).

Because books.

Oh god, I loved Hot Lunch! And I Sing the Body Electric.

It's maybe a good thing I only have that on vinyl, or today would be completely wasted, I can tell.

This is the bit that I get. It's this sublation thingummy that perplexes me.

Unrelatedly I think I may OD on tamarind balls.

Gud, if you have been improperly purged you have the right to vote provisionally. You then need to follow up to make sure your vote is counted basically by proving you are you. Bring any ID you have, drivers license birth certificate if you have it, passport if you have it. Bring some bills with your name and address on it as additional proof of residency.(These IDs may be needed in a followup day, it may not be enough to have them on the day you cast the provisional ballot.
