When Funky Cold Christine Comes Down

Speaking of Read my Body. Didn't someone mention in a fan podcast that Tone Loc was originally invited to the Hot in the Shade recordings to rap on Read My Body? I think it was Paul Halligan Jr. who co-wrote Rise to It as well as Read My Body. Why should one doubt the man, moreover, this idea seems anything but absurd when I can't help but think of Tone Loc's 1989 hit Funky Cold Medina. And when I think of Funky Cold Medina, I obviously think directly of Christine Sixteen. And that means we've already left rap behind us again.

But let's politely take out the guitar part from Christine Sixteen, sampled on Funky Cold Medina, when it has already been served to us so beautifully on a silver platter. And while we're at it, then also also its small, extremely inconspicuous counterpart that can be found on Crazy Nights' When Your Walls Come Down. And by small I really mean just teeny tiny small. Just listen to it. Some of you might say: "Yes, of course, exactly! Ha, ha!". But maybe in the end the exact opposite will come out of it. And then, of course, I would look pretty stupid. Well, that's a risk I'm willing and have to take. But it is only up to you, anyway. Always.

I recommend that you only let these small sections run for 1-2 seconds at a time and then refresh the page, because it just whizzes by so quickly. So, click play, and be quick. Or be a lazy egg:

Genesis returns, Beast goes over the edge, and more as the Fall of X looms

Genesis returns, Beast goes over the edge, and more as the Fall of X looms #comics #comicbooks #xmen #fallofx

Paying off plot threads that have been brewing since 2019’s House of X and Powers of X, Fall of X will determine if mutantkind’s prosperous Krakoan Age can truly last forever or if its foundation has doomed it from the start. Today, fans can check out the covers for X-Men titles on sale in July, the month before Fall of X officially begins. These issues represent the final chapters of Krakoa as…

what distinguishes Islam's relationship to the other Abrahamic religions and their texts from christian-style supercessionism? i mean i know that historically Muslim communities have often been better at religious plurality than christian ones, i just don't know what theological/structural factors contributed to that

From a purely neutral perspective, Islam has a concept called Tahrif, which translates to corruption or alteration. The idea is that the previous scriptures have either been tampered with or altered to such an extent that they aren't fully recognized as the 100% written word of God. Thus the Qur'an is established to function, not to replace the previous scriptures, as a new set of laws and guidelines for mankind. Although Islamically, the previous scriptures are considered corrupt, Islam does not reject Judaism or Christianity and do not consider either of them false, this is why the Qur'an refers to them as the People of the Book. For more information, see: the Consitution of Medina.

In terms of the Torah, the Qur'an expresses that the books of Moses are holy, but have been altered or tampered with to such a point that the book no longer could be considered the authentic word of God. However, the laws established are still binding to the Children of Israel. However, the Islamic concept of Tahrif is not concerned with the idea of denying the Laws of Moses, but rather see it as a law exclusive to the children of Israel, thus Muslims hold Paul the Apostle with animosity for tampering with Scripture and annulling various laws incumbent upon the Jewish people. Muslims deny that Jewish people killed Jesus, therefore rejecting the idea of deicide, since Muslims don't believe Jesus was God, nor do they believe that he died on the cross, so there was never a New Covenant formed in place the Old Covenant. As for the gospels, Islam does not recognize the four gospels as being part of the Holy canons, but hold that Jesus, the Prophet, was the Gospel, and that he was the Scripture, the Word so to speak. The Qur'an refers to the Gospel in a singular term, the Gospel of Jesus. Jesus preached his message and there were scribes who recorded his words, but those words have gone missing or have ever since been burnt by the Church, thus we do not have a Gospel of Jesus as we understand it in the Qur'an.

The important part to understand is that the Qur'an is not a book of historicities or chronological events, it is a book of laws and regulations.. Various biblical stories are brought up to establish the reason behind an established law, such as the impermissibility of eating pork.

Yes, there is the idea of supersessionism, but not in the style of Christianity.

The 2022 F1 grid + helmet eyes 👁️

Alt text: A long, poster-style compilation of zoomed-in photos of Formula 1 drivers’ eyes in their helmets. Fabric from their helmet padding and/or balaclavas is visible in the corners of some images, while others have the plastic visor and/or lip of the helmet visible on the top or bottom. There are 11 rows of two photos side-by-side, all teammates except for the last two substitute drivers.

From left to right, then from top down, the order is as follows: Max Verstappen (blue eyes looking up), Sergio Pérez (dark brown eyes looking at the camera), Charles Leclerc (mottled green eyes looking to the side), Carlos Sainz (hazel eyes looking at the camera), Lewis Hamilton (dark brown eyes looking to the side), George Russell (wide blue eyes looking at the camera), Daniel Ricciardo (brown eyes looking up), Lando Norris (blue-green eyes squinting into the distance), Fernando Alonso (hazel eyes looking up), Esteban Ocon (dark brown eyes looking at the camera), Zhou Guanyu (dark brown eyes looking at the camera), Valtteri Bottas (gray eyes looking into the distance), Sebastian Vettel (mottled blue-green eyes looking up), Lance Stroll (brown eyes staring into the distance), Kevin Magnussen (blue eyes looking at the camera), Mick Schumacher (blue eyes staring into the distance), Pierre Gasly (blue-green eyes looking ahead), Yuki Tsunoda (dark brown eyes looking at the camera), Nicholas Latifi (dark brown eyes looking up), Alex Albon (dark brown eyes looking at the camera), Nico Hülkenberg (blue-green eyes staring into the distance), and Nyck de Vries (brown eyes looking to the side).

(Note: I initially tried to only use recent photos from each drivers’ current team, but that quickly became impossible as some drivers (*cough cough* Lewis...) have very few, if any, good / recent helmet-eyes photos. As a result, some of these photos are quite old or otherwise outdated! Sorry about that.)

Not to make absolutely everything about fandom but speaking of Oscar movies and academia aesthetics I've been thinking of a The Holdovers AU in the Gilmore Girls-verse, with Jess as Angus, the kid that gets stuck at the boarding school over Christmas, but I can't figure out who should be Paul Giamatti Hunham.

My first instinct is Luke because they have the tightest bond in the show and a lot of the conversations between the leads feel like they would hit home with Luke and Jess respectively and together. Also Luke as the teacher would make it easier to sneak in Lorelai as the cute woman with cookies with a conveniently aged teenage relative (niece in the movie, daughter for Lorelai) who hits it off with Angus. But for Luke to work you'd either have to make a pre-established familial relationship that changes the movie-relationship between the leads or you'd have to make an AU where Jess and Luke aren't related.

Second instinct is Max Medina because you get past the family ties-issue and can still sneak Lorelai and Rory in the exact same way. But the thing is that Max is canonically a really nice and really different teacher from Paul Hunham so you'd either completely change the dynamic between the two and lose the point of the AU or you'd have to make Max Medina really OOC.

You could try to push in other teacher characters for Paul Hunham, but none of them have enough characteristics or staying power to work, or they're Asher Fleming... and I don't think anyone wants Asher Fleming as Paul Hunham.

Then I got a thought that I have no idea how to deal with so now you have to as well: Taylor Doose as Paul Hunham. No he's not a teacher and yes I usually am a big fan of trashing on Taylor (personality, as a character he's brilliant). But. It actually makes sense. Him and Jess never get along, Taylor's incredibly difficult to work with and refuses to do things any other way than his own but he also really loves and cares about what he does and believes in his work as something that helps and uplifts the community of Stars Hollow (not unlike how Paul Hunham genuinely wants to prepare and educate the next generations of students). And if someone made it work it would actually be a little ingenious to see an AU where Taylor and Jess actually find common ground and help each other. The Lorelai swap in could be weird but you could also just remove the romantic tone between them and focus on Paul-Taylor's social isolation.

But I still have no idea who to put in as the Mary Lamb stand-in, like how could anyone in Gilmore Girls fit her character-arc??
