Thievery touring member Frank Orrall is also the lead singer for Poi Dog Pondering, which has a totally different take on world music. Their Pomegranate album is absolutely great, and a notable song from it is Complicated: https://youtu.be/-KLZMKNs7qY
For a cover, they have an awesome version of That’s the Way Love Is: https://youtu.be/k7iaA7x9oc4?si=aHd5ZJsR7KbqFy7o but I haven’t found a high quality audio YouTube version of it.

We’ve found a time traveller from ancient Greece…
Edit: sorry. I mean we’ve found a time traveller from ancient Mesopotamia.
Always has been.
If you’ve seen the film, it will do all the swinging for you.
People think the police do a lot of things they don’t actually do, and aren’t required to do.
Police don’t – and don’t have to – protect anyone, prevent crimes - even if they can see someone committing a crime and can stop it - Chase down criminals running from them, go find criminals that have been reported, bring criminals for court dates, and more.
Basically all police are genuinely required to do is file a report when someone reports a crime. And I think that society could get away with not having that.
Basically everything about the justice system that you probably care about and that supports society is done by someone other than a cop, or just isn’t actually done at all and people presume it is.
I generally like Edgar Allan Poe, but this meme is why “Sonnet - To Science” is a bad take. (EDIT: Sorry I can’t figure out how to format it correctly here)
Science! true daughter of Old Time thou art!
Who alterest all things with thy peering eyes.
Why preyest thou thus upon the poet’s heart,
Vulture, whose wings are dull realities?
How should he love thee? or how deem thee wise,
Who wouldst not leave him in his wandering
To seek for treasure in the jewelled skies,
Albeit he soared with an undaunted wing?
Hast thou not dragged Diana from her car,
And driven the Hamadryad from the wood
To seek a shelter in some happier star?
Hast thou not torn the Naiad from her flood,
The Elfin from the green grass, and from me
The summer dream beneath the tamarind tree?
