to solidify point 2. (a) 1 Samuel 20:30 NLT “You stupid son of a whore!” (b) 1 Samuel 20:30-31 MSG “You son of a slut!"

regardless: from the original hebrew, he means to imply that jonathan was stubborn from his mother's womb, not to insult his mother but to insult jonathan, as to disappoint your parents (or ancestors) was highly offensive.

all things considered, if we seriously want to make an accurate modern language translation "son of a bitch" is as accurate as it gets.

"none of those words are in the Bible" i mean 1. the Bible is originally hebrew and ancient greek and translation is inherently messy 2. "son of a perverse and rebellious woman"? he's saying son of a bitch 3. there is very much sex in the Bible. most of the people in the Bible were conceived via sex. not all, granted, but a vast majority

can you guys take my uquiz

LISTEN TO ME!! you have no idea how happy this makes me. knowing this playlist exists brings me so much joy. this is one of my favourite Brennan monologues. i have watched this clip so many times that when i read this, i can still hear the pure frustration and rage in his voice.

This is like... everything Brennan says.. if you ever wanted it... for anything

"I know what’s going on here. I know what’s going on here. Okay? I do. And if you want me to wander backstage to spill the beans... // I’m the only one out of the loop, it would seem... and if we check my point total here— I don’t NEED to walk to the front, because I know what it is. It’s a big ol’ GOOSE EGG, GANG. It’s a FAT ZERO. HELLO!! A little LATE ADDITION to the numerical symbol chart brought to us from our friends in Arabia, a little bit of trivia that I happen to know about the history of numbers. That kind of little tidbit would serve me well in most trivia games, unless it had been RIGGED FROM THE BEGINNING! // Oh, I’ve only just BEGUN to pull the thread on this sweater, friends. You would THINK in a game where there are only TWO possible correct choices, that one would STUMBLE INTO the right answer every so often, wouldn’t you? In fact, the probability of NEVER guessing right in the full game is a STATISTICAL WONDER, and yet, HERE WE ARE. // Introduced at the top of the game as a champion, what do you think that means? Icarus, flying too close to the sun. But it seems Daedalus, our little master crafter over here, had some wax wings of his own, didn’t he? Wanted to see his son fall. Fall from the sky. Oh, how CLOSE TO THE SUN he flew! // Well I’m NOT HAVING IT. I solved your labyrinth, puzzle master! The minotaur‘s escaped and you’re gonna get the horns, buddy! // I CANNOT WIN!"

[ID: Image one is a Spotify playlist titled "i’ve only just begun to pull the thread on this sweater". Its cover image shows Brennan Lee Mulligan on Game Changer saying "I know what's going on here." The following images are all the songs on the playlist. Together, they spell out his whole monologue for the "Brennan Cannot Win" game, as follows (with added punctuation):

"Friends, you would think in a game where there are only two possible correct choices, that one would stumble into the right answer every so often, wouldn’t you? In fact, the probability of never guessing right in the full game is a statistical wonder, and yet, here we are. Introduced at the top of the game as a champion, what do you think that means? Icarus, flying too close to the sun. But it seems Daedalus, our little master crafter over here, had some wax wings of his own, didn’t he? Wanted to see his son fall. Fall from the sky. Oh, how close to the sun he flew! Well I’m not having it. I solved your labyrinth, puzzle master! The minotaur‘s escaped and you’re gonna get the horns, buddy! I cannot win!" End ID]

​hearing hozier recite this song like poetry permanently broke something in me for the better.

happy 10th birthday to one the most iconic songs of this century so far

doomed by the narrative and haunted by the narrative and a secret third thing (narrating the narrative)
