What’s this now about the Beatles?

[BurtReynolds]

People who listen to the Beatles are piece of shit human beings.

[verb_to_trust]

Most of their songs sound like they belong on an episode of Barney.

[elliseamos]

And they thought they were bigger than Jesus.

Jokes on you, Beatles!

Underrated post, one of the best from the verb account.

"This is how Dune starts"

I saw Dune once when I was a child, and never read it. Am I correct in remembering it is about a desert that becomes the center of widespread political and military disruption because of its vast reserves of a valuable commodity, which multiple power hungry outsiders have a stake in?

I don't see any real world connotations, sorry.

its always nice to add context

…George gets brutally murdered for the whole world to see it. You’ve never seen — and I come out of the, I was a kid when Dr. King, I came back from law school when Dr. King was assassinated. And when I came back, my city [Wilmington, Delaware] is the only city in America occupied by the National Guard since Reconstruction, because a significant portion was burned to the ground. I came back, I had a job with a good law firm, and I quit and became a public defender.

But even Dr. King’s assassination did not have the worldwide impact that George Floyd’s death did. Because, just like television changed the civil rights movement for the better when they saw Bull Connor and his dogs ripping the clothes off of elderly black women going to church, and fire hoses ripping the skin off of young kids —all those folks around the country that didn’t have any black populations heard about this, but they didn’t believe it, but they saw it. It was impossible to close their eyes.

Well with George Floyd, what happened to George Floyd, now you’ve got how many people around the country, millions of cellphones. It’s changed the way everybody’s looking at this. Look at the millions of people marching around the world, the world. So my point is that I think people are really realizing that this is a battle for the soul of America. Who are we? What do we want to be? How do we see ourselves? What do we think we should be? [Emphasis is added].

Ah yes, the turning point in the Butlerian Jihad.
