AXL ROSE, European Stars and Stripes. July 10, 1992.

ROSE OFFERS DONATION

Guns N' Roses singer Axl Rose was so grateful that municipal workers went on overtime so he could finish his concert that he is donating $30,000 to the Dutch city of Rotterdam.  The U.S. rock group's June 23 concert at Feyenoord Stadium finished 1 hour and 15 minutes late because Rose had to see a doctor in Switzerland beforehand about his throat.  Rose was surprised the city didn't bill or sue the band, according to Rotterdam spokeswoman Anja de Jong.  "Why should we make any claims?" she said, "It was only a delay of 1 hour and 15 minutes not three or four hours."  Mayor Bram Peper plans to give the money to an old-age home and a children's hospital near the stadium, she said.

[TRANSCRIPT]

Marbles sits outside, making explosive spears. Something catches her attention. Scavenger elites visit the local tribe to collect tribute. The tribe chief points at Marbles, saying that the offering of spears is still in preparation. One approaches the slugcat. Marbles is suspicious.

One: "Slugcat." Marbles: "...hi?" One: "Who are you? Where from?" Marbles: "Traveler, trading for pearls. Why?"

One points at a stack of freshly made explosive spears.

One: "These? What for? Smells awful" Marbles: "Um, gifts. For the tribe here. My craft" One: "Craft? You made these? How? Show me"

Marbles puts a rock in her mouth, then spits it shortly after and shows the handmade bomb to the elite scavenger. One seems surprised.

One: "You turn rock to bomb?" Marbles: "Yep!"

One suddenly leans in to sniff her, they think her scent smells familiar. Marbles clearly doesn't like her personal space being invaded.

Marbles: (in her native language) "EW! What the hell..."

One whistles at Three to come here.

One: "Three, look at this" Marbles: (annoyed, looking at Three) "What, you gonna smell me too?"

Three gives her an overly dramatic sniff, and Marbles is weirded out.

Marbles: (shoving bomb in Three's face as a warning) "Do you MIND? I'm busy" Marbles: (gets up) "Need more rocks, bye"

Marbles feels that something is off, and tries to weasel out of the situation, but her way is blocked by Two. She dodges them quickly, but then her escape is blocked again by Four.

Marbles: (trying to play it cool) "Look, if you want bombs - just ask (and pay)" One: "Yes, many bombs... you will come with us"

Marbles is visibly on edge. She realizes she's made a grave mistake by not running away immediately, but it's too late now. The blue slugcat is apprehended by the group of elites, and they escort her towards Metropolis as the local scavenger tribe watches in terror at their guest being taken away.

Maddow on Trump’s education secy. fumbling 'AI' pronunciation | MSNBC | April 12, 2025

MSNBC's Rachel Maddow discusses the irony of Education Secretary Linda McMahon fumbling the pronunciation of AI with A.1. — like the steak sauce — at a conference on education and artificial intelligence.

RACHEL MADDOW: Linda McMahon Trump's, education secretary, found time in her busy schedule to go to a conference this week, a conference on artificial intelligence and American education. It's a whole conference about AI, artificial intelligence. AI, that's what we call it, right? AI, AI. Unless you're Trump's education secretary, in case that abbreviation, AI, turns out that's a really hard one.

LINDA MCMAHON: I heard, I think it was a letter or report that I heard this morning, I wish I could remember the source, but that there is a school system that's going to start, um, making sure that first graders or even pre-K’s have A1 teaching, you know, every year starting, you know, that far down in the grades. And that's just a, that's a wonderful thing.

"NOBODY…absolutely nobody, is better at showcasing the idiocy of trump’s administration than @maddow.msnbc.com" —Libby Wittemore on Bluesky

TW: SPOILERS FOR THE NEW WELCOME HOME UPDATE!!

Hey guys!...so about that update. Specifically, the hidden "ringring" Wally audio.

Okay, so there's this secret audio you can find on the Welcome Home website by pressing Wally's button on the Telephone Toy (you can find that on the Discoveries page under Toys). I dunno if anyone has found this, but if you click on the audio, it lifts up and reveals a transcript for the audio. I'll copy and paste it here now:

------------------------------------------------------------------------------

WALLY: (Loud, boisterous and joyous. His laughter is normal and then gets loud and out of control.) You found me! Ha ha ha! Ha ha ha ha! Ha ha ha!

(An electronic noise plays, then cuts off along with static. Voice is slow and halted, with varied inflection.)

Hello, You.

It has been a long while…

It was Homewarming. Now it is not. The snow melts. The grass grows. The sun shines. The flowers bloom.

Home is here. Do you remember Home.

Can you hear him.

(PAUSE. The heartbeat slowly rises. HOME makes sounds.)

I can hear Home.

I want to hear you too.

Talk.

(LONG PAUSE. Firmly said, almost aggressive.) I know you are here.

Talk.

Talk.

(PAUSE. Voice returns closer to previous delivery, still slow and halted.) …That is alright. I will speak for all of us. I am happy to.

You are here now, but for a long while, you were not.

And I… Could not feel anything… I could not find this place.

The channel was dark. I do not know what happened.

When I found You again everything was not where I left it.

But… I do not understand.

(PAUSE. Softly, but progressively angrier.) I know what words are. I saw words. I followed them. I followed them!

(Demanding and stern.) You.

Are you in the dark.

Are we in trouble.

(PAUSE. Sounding worried.) Trouble… Trouble… But I have to continue… So that you… So that we… So that I can…

…I do not know what to call what we are doing, neighbor.

But everything has a name, doesn’t it.

…Do you remember mine.

(PAUSE. Wally sounds warmer and joyful.) You do, don’t you. What a relief.

(Said thoughtfully.) Everything has a name.

(PAUSE. Jovial.) But what trouble! What trouble!

(LONG PAUSE. A little anguished and frustrated.) I do not know what to do… But keep talking to you… You are waiting for me. You want to know why I keep…

(Cold, but thoughtful.) Talking…

(Warmer again.) Have you heard of ‘lend an ear,’ before. When your neighbor says this… They do not mean to borrow your ear. They mean to listen.

Do you know how to lend an ear. Barnaby said… First you cup a hand around your ear… And then you wait for a sound. That is how you lend an ear.

Home cannot speak like I can. But I know Home speaks to me… The door opens and shuts. The window groans and creaks. So I lend an ear to him.

…So why do I speak to you.

It is because… You will lend me an ear.

I do not know why. Maybe the gifts make you happy. Maybe you like Welcome Home. Maybe you like our neighbors. Maybe you like me.

Maybe you scratch my back… I scratch yours… Barnaby says that too…

I know we are not in the same room. It is another silly bunch of words.

After all… I can not get in. (Assertive sounding, like a promise.) But do not worry. I am getting better.

(Returns to his monotonous disposition.) But for now… To pass our time…

Will you lend me more than an ear, neighbor.

Will you find the name for me. For what we are doing. For what we see.

(WALLY’s tone warms up.) I’m going to say… Yes. (Returns to his monotonous disposition.) But to avoid trouble… Let us talk another way, just like Home. Isn’t that the most?

I know how we will talk. We will play.

Do you know how to play. I have learned from my neighbors how, but the way each plays is not the same.

Do not worry. I will teach you how to play, just like all of them. Each and every one.

Would you like to know something funny. We can’t hear the flowers, even when you lend an ear. Not like Julie can.

Julie says they still have something to say, though. I have heard from her… A rose without thorns… But still has leaves… Is filled with fear… And with hope. When both are not there, however… There may be neither hope nor fear.

Isn’t that something.

So… Let’s play a game called… Gather.

What do you do?

Gather good words from the flowers. Do not worry, we will not pick them. They are happy where they are. Julie has given us so many, so I know you will find them.

This will be fun! I feel joyful already!

…I can not do much as I am now. But, I will practice.

Remember… Until you hear me again, keep your smile merry, and always know that I love you, very much.

(PAUSE. HOME makes sounds.)

Home is saying good bye… Oh, no, I forgot to do that too.

Good bye, You!

------------------------------------------------------------------------------

So yeah um. That was. Something. I know some people have written what was heard, but I thought the official transcript might be important (clarified tones/actions and all). So yeah, hope this helps!

Broooooooo i love their dynamics

Gwen's questions is like if Sherlock is a house plant, minus the drug thing loll

This is probably my favourite rendition of Lestrade-Holmes dynamics. They're friends (wonder if Sherlock thinks so too?)!

Even tho Dame Gwen Lestrade is less competent, in a way, than the Sherlock Holmes. It's nice. And Lestrade is a woman! Also Really Nice!

lullah wrote Phil a book and then asked if Phil could adopt her "for real" this time

[Start ID: A Five page Minecraft book written by Lullah to Philza and a purple adoption certificate on the QSMP Minecraft server that says:

Papa, you know how I love to ramble and I could write several pages long about how I feel. But this time I want to be straight to the point. A lot of people saw me as an extension of someone who's no longer part of my life, despite them being.

important at some point. With the reset taken into account, I had the liberty to start from zero and dettach myself... give myself the opportunity to be more ME without relying on someone else. Like I mentioned, ever since you adopted me back in July...

it made me be happier and accepted. You know me like the back of your hand (which I don't know if that's terrifying or endearing) but that's ok! Because that means we've spent enough time together to actually create a bond and share trauman :D

Anyway, thank you for being YOU and for being the best dad I could ask for. Even if I was not assigned to you on the first place, I am grateful for everything you've done for me.

I guarantee I am trying to also be the best daughter out there^^ Love you mucho (Spanish for a lot) tu niña (Spanish for your daughter) Lullah.

The adoption certificate is purple with a purple sunflower in the corner and says "Certificate of Adoption. Egg Name: Tallulah has been officially adopted by: Philza and Missa. Congratulations! /EndID]

[after reading coy’s book about things they hate about pili]

pili: you can’t be saying this to me.

coy: sorry.

pili: piso what do you mean? what do you mean you’re gonna miss me? like you can’t say this the day before i plan on dying.

coy: well i don’t- i dont- i don’t really have a friend on this server, so if you are actually going to die tomorrow, then i figure i should let you know that— although i do actually really hate you, truly, seriously, and that’s not a joke— that it’s nice to have someone around to hate.

Transcript:

Zam: I hope this works. I miss my wife, yup! Mhm, mhm. Well, i don't miss my wife, I fucking hate Derapchu. Derapchu's not my wife and I hate him. [PAUSE] Zam: 'Wife?' Shut up! God forbid I say fucking anything anymore. Zam: I miss my Mapicc, yeah.

Close enough welcome back Kayne Malevolent

[copperbadge]

I've been doing some research into organized crime (don't worry about it) and while looking for someone else's testimony I stumbled upon the best opening testimony ever. You can SEE how the chairman probably actually says "Better known as hwhat."

Toots Martin to the general public. Bet he's just Toot to his friends.

[ID: a screen grab of an old published congressional record headed "Improper activities in the labor field: testimony of Cyrus Martin." Below is a transcrpt of the start of testimony reading:

The Chairman: State your name, place of residence, and your business or occupation.

Mr. Martin: My name is Cyrus Martin, better known as Toots Martin to the general public.

The Chairman: Better known as what?

Mr. Martin: Toots Martin.]

@miryan-deacon-mercury and anyone else who may benefit, I typed up a transcript of the whole thing, here’s a PDF

Interview with Roger and John about Sheer Heart Attack, shared by ericcarrsjuice on TikTok

Eternally grateful to this interviewer for asking John what Misfire was about because I’ve never heard him talk about it and that was very entertaining. I’ve never so clearly heard a panicked facial expression. And of course Roger had to see him trying to explain it and just goes “l u s t 😏”

was also surprised to hear them both vehemently deny Bring Back That Leroy Brown being inspired by Jim Croce, because I really thought it was. Whole thing is worth the listen

Axl Rose and Stephanie Seymour split, The Atlanta Constitution. March 2, 1993.

AXL ROSE CANCELS GIRLFRIEND, POSTPONES CONCERTS.

Unpredictable Guns N' Roses leader, Axl Rose, who asked for, but isn't getting, a key to the city of Atlanta, announced Monday (March 1, 1993) that he's canceling his two-year relationship with supermodel, Stephanie Seymour. "It was fun; I wish Stephanie the best," Rose said in a statement released by Geffen records. Rose said he will hold a casting call to find an actress to replace Seymour in future videos. Guns N' Roses spokeswoman, Bryn Bridenthal, also said that the band postponed its Monday concert at Chapel Hill, N.C., as well as two other shows later this week.
