Reply to Woodstock, 1969 by MalibuHulaDuck
We think about Woodstock as people living a wild hippy lifestyle, but nearly everyone there would have been back at work on the Monday, and their co-workers would be like "Hey Barbara. Did you get up to anything this weekend?"

I mean, sure, you're allowed to. But I doubt whoever is marking it is going to be impressed.

This is like deciding you don't like The Beatles' music, so you throw away the vinyl and declare they were excellent models for album sleeves and nothing more.

He also kept hundreds of people enslaved, including his own children from his rape victim, so he could live in obscene luxury.

Such arrogance. The same writers who detailed the moral teachings also detailed the miracles.

Reply to comment by JackdeAlltrades in Australia to Impose Local Content Quotas on Streaming Platforms by Sisiwakanamaru
Reality TV isn't counted under Australian content quotas. They have quotas for dramas, documentaries and children's TV. Reality TV isn't on because of quotas. It's on because it's popular.

Reply to comment by temporarysecretary17 in TIL Martin Luther King was born Michael King Jr. However, his father, a pastor at Atlanta’s Ebenezer Baptist Church, traveled to Germany and became inspired by the Protestant Reformation leader Martin Luther. As a result, King Sr. changed his own name as well as that of his five year old son. by 54_actual
Luther made a very good argument about why Protestants shouldn't have saints, and is himself a very good argument why Protestants shouldn't have saints.

I love watching the press conference announcing the election. He looks like he could topple over at any moment.

Sounds like something a clever real estate agent or a bad landlord made up.

Reply to TIL that it took several years for writer Bruce Rubin to sell the script to Jacob's Ladder, because it was "too metaphysical" and "Hollywood does not make ghost movies". Rubin would later write the screenplay for Ghost, a box office success that grossed over $500 million. by WouldbeWanderer
This is pretty confusing, given Ghost was released before Jacob's Ladder. Jacob's Ladder also barely made back its budget.

Most people you see in that documentary are rock and roll stars, but they also don't account for most of the people there that weekend.
