Funny thread shoots at bragging rock stars-Upworthy

Bono, Dave Groer, Ariana Grande

Director Peter Jackson's new 468-minute Beatles documentary "Get Back" is a landmark achievement. This is an in-depth and comprehensive glimpse into the creative process of the four most important musicians and cultural figures of the past 100 years.

The crazy thing is that this is not even an exaggeration. It is instructive to watch the Beatles extract tunes from the ether and then make them into some of the most enduring songs in the history of popular music.

Just like Paul McCartney (Paul McCartney) used his way to create "back".

Spend the weekend with #getback, like tedious creativity, improvisation and improvisation, but the most important thing is the magical moment when Paul McCartney turned this song into reality. A miracle in the movie. pic.twitter.com/uoafI0ISla — Jonny Geller (@Jonny Geller) 1638142633 Some people criticized the film for being too long and questioned the number of times people must hear "I have a feeling", but they did not catch it at all Focus. "Get Back" is entertaining, but it is not entertaining. For anyone who wants to decode the master process, this is a Rosetta Stone. This is an instruction manual used to record notes, rhythms and words, and to infuse them with vitality so that they can move their bodies, hearts and minds. Jackson's talent is that he doesn't get in the way and presents the narrative as a race against time. The Beatles only have a short time to create, record and perform an album. Can they do it, or will the accumulated resentment prevent them from achieving their goals?

Smaller directors may try to interview other musicians to understand their views on historical footage. Most importantly, this movie does not have a minute for Dave Grohl to explain how the Beatles influenced Nirvana or Foo Fighters. Groer is the undisputed king of the All-King League of Extraordinary Rock and Roll, and he is happy to share his views on other music artists in documentaries and award ceremonies. Over the years, Grohl has repeatedly claimed that the artist he discussed or awarded awards in the documentary has influenced Nirvana or Foo Fighters, and has fallen into self-imitation. Another way to ruin a rock documentary is to have one of the other members of the Extraordinary Rock All-Knowing League show up, such as Bruce Springsteen, Bono, Lars Ulrich, Questlov or John legend. You can always count on these people to deliver self-important speeches about artists or bands and find a way to express themselves. Noel Gallagher of Oasis may also be a member of this group, but he is usually very funny and self-deprecating in interviews, so he was passed. The appearance of the Extraordinary Rock All-Knowledge League in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame is particularly shocking, because they were once traitors, and now they are speaking at the institution of the rebel organization-establishment. The host of the Spam Filter podcast, Jesse Hawken, had some fun at the expense of these critical rock stars. "Get Back" is not bad, I really hope they interviewed some of today's top artists for this film.

Everything about this thread is true. Except you skipped Questlove.

Two donkeys are better than one-"Teach the donkey repeatedly."

You may know what it means to hit hay, knot or buy lemons. Maybe you have killed two birds with a stone today, a piece of cake effortlessly. But for people who don’t speak English, using these phrases might make you sound crazy...or should I say lunatic?

This is the interesting thing about idioms. They change according to the time, place, and culture where they were created. In other words, they are generally ridiculous to anyone except the people who usually use them.

Seeing the alternation of phrases in different languages ​​can help us see the world through different eyes. Does the man look impressive at the party?

Imagine that next time you can add more Lithuanian, instead of saying "It's raining cats and dogs", you can say "It's raining". How metal is that?

It could also be rain, barrels, barrels, pipe stems, frogs, female trolls, fire and brimstone...it depends on where you are from.

Some of these idioms from all over the world are very meaningful. Others lost their way in the translation, and you couldn't help being pink.

"Nu ska du få dina fiskar värmda."

Literal translation: Now your fish will warm up.

This is another way to say that someone is in trouble, or their "goose is cooked".

There is absolutely no shortage of Swedish in the threat department. They also have a proverb, "nu har du satt din sista potatis", which means "now you have planted the last potato".

Imagine hearing Batman say "You planted the last potato, Joker." It did not achieve the desired effect.

"Avere gli occhi foderati di prosciutto."

Literal translation: The eyes are lined with ham.

Let Italians have phrases related to food. You can use it when someone cannot see what is in front of them. It can also be used when someone is blinded by love. Sadly, there is no such thing as "ham-colored glasses".

"Að leggja höfuðið í bleyti."

Literal translation: bury your head in the water.

You would say this when you "need to sleep" or "put on your thinking hat." This is interesting because I can’t understand that immersing my head in water will give me any mental clarity.

Literal translation: Repeat teaching the donkey.

Practice makes perfect, but this is especially true for donkeys. The best wisdom with animals as the theme.

Literal translation: I only know train stations.

This is another way of saying, "It's all Greek to me".

The history of this period is a bit mysterious. One theory is that it originated from the fact that there was only one thing after the soldiers were discharged from the hospital in World War I: going home. Meaning, they can only comprehend the train station leading there. Others say it refers to tourists who have just arrived in Germany, who really only learned the word "train station" in German. This shows that everything else is foreign to them.

Let us not forget "nicht mein bier, nicht meine sorgen", which means "not my beer, not my troubles".

(Fun fact: "Not my circus, not my monkey" is actually derived from a Polish proverb, not an English proverb at all.)

Literal translation: speak directly from the liver.

When you say something without icing, you speak directly from the liver. This can be traced back to the time when the liver was considered a magical organ for courage. So speaking from the liver is like speaking from the heart, just a little bit down and to the right.

Literal translation: horse and horse, tiger and tiger.

You can use it to express something just fine. Not bad, not bad, it's just... well.

It is said that a Chinese painter, his craftsmanship is not very good, he painted an animal that looks a bit like a tiger, a bit like, you guessed it, a horse. This story actually has a tragic ending, as a cautionary tale against carelessness. But now it has a more relaxed connotation.

Just like "comme ci, comme ca" in French, "so-so" is not as common as non-native speakers think.

Language is still an evolving and always interesting way not only to appreciate other cultures, but also to notice similarities. The language may change slightly, but in the end we are all expressing the same thing.

"I am assisting my brother in our community."

Tanya Whitaker's life motto is a large part of why she is so passionate about helping those in need in the Clinton, Maryland community. It boils down to a painting by Gilbert Young called "He is not heavy, he is my brother".

"I know I need to do something to help break down the systemic barriers and build bridges not only for the disadvantaged, but also for the underserved," Tanya told Upworthy. "I am assisting my brother in our community."

Tanya has been committed to promoting underserved communities in almost every aspect of her life. She works in the Vocational and Technical Education Department of the District of Columbia State Education Director, helping students achieve goals they don't even know are possible. She explained that this work provided information for the development of her non-profit organization "Skills Today for Tomorrow Development Center" (STAT DC), which aims to "promote economic mobility and social progress in low- and middle-income communities."

Even before launching STAT DC, Tanya felt that it was necessary to help people get what they needed, regardless of their situation. This became especially obvious to her during the pandemic, which made more people need food and/or shelter. She said: "My experience in this pandemic is that all economic boundaries have become blurred."

One thing that really stood out to her was how many children starved because of school closures during the pandemic.

"The United States faces the fact that most of the nutritional needs of most school-age children come from schools," Tanya explained. "Without this exit, parents are forced to enter the food line that they never thought would be part of their daily or weekly needs."

To meet the needs she saw, Tanya created a large network of volunteers to provide food for the homeless in her community. Just like in her daily work, she is the manager who makes this happen, from organizing donations, deliveries, and all other parts of the work required to perform such a huge task on a regular basis. "I have a group of very dedicated volunteers," Tanya said. "Without such a group, it would be impossible to be this big." Even her 78-year-old father was involved.

She often does not have enough funds to cover the cost of her food distribution program. Thanks to the donation from the TD Bank #TDThanksYou event, she should be able to continue working during the holidays-when food insecurity and homelessness were most common in the United States, "This directly affected the daily operations of food delivery. What the public did not see was Our daily expenses to achieve this goal," Tanya said.

TD Thank You is an annual event of TD Bank, which aims to support customers, colleagues and communities by giving back to them in a meaningful way. This year, the #TDThanksYou event in 2021 focused on the stories of people who spread positivity and optimism in the community without asking for anything in return. Tanya's work seems to meet the requirements.

Tanya's team distributes food every Thursday, but this means that the organization and packaging of food must begin on Tuesday. Food is assembled into parts, non-perishable, meat, dairy products, frozen food and agricultural products. Thursday is often the busiest day because they usually receive unexpected foods that need to be sorted. After all the food was sorted, they began to assemble them into bags and prepared the bags for distribution.

With the help of many companies, Tanya is able to maintain such a large-scale food distribution work. She made these connections by knocking on the door.

When she realized that a nearby shopping mall and its parking lot had been vacant, she had a relationship. "I drove around the parking lot until I found a door to a security office. I knocked on an empty room that seemed to be abandoned and met my good angel, Ms. Carolyn Martin, a landmark shopping from Howard Hughes. The property manager company of the central department."

Tanya explained her mission to provide food for the homeless. The next day, Ms. Martin welcomed her to use a parking lot in the mall for free.

"As individuals with a sense of social responsibility, we must not wait for government plans or'knights in shiny armor' to come to the rescue," Tanya said.

People like Tanya use compassion and enthusiasm to fight food insecurity, homelessness and economic inequality every day. They were not waiting for the "knights" to come to rescue; they just picked up the well-known swords themselves.

Look, we all know that learning another language as adults is very difficult. Not impossible, but certainly not easy.

Well, a wife may have found the ultimate learning technique. In order to teach her husband Spanish, she gave him appropriate rewards in the form of a spray bottle. It produced a delightful (and viral) TikTok video.

As if from the perspective of that sinister red water bottle, we saw it enter the frame.

"Only in Spanish," the wife said to her husband. He knew immediately what kind of test it would be.

"How old are you this year? What is your wife's name? How many children do you have?" she asked in Spanish. Sadly, this is a mist spray for my husband.

But hey, when asked how many children he has, he dodged the H20 bullet. Deposited by the United Nations.

For the poor, no place is safe, not even the bathroom. But this method seems to work. When asked "how are you?" he remembers to say "muy bien".

The people in the comments were blown up.

"He will definitely say "Huh?" "Extend his time

"When he said'Come on bro,' the bathroom killed me"

"If my wife doesn't teach me this way, then I don't want her."

Moral of the story: When rewards don’t work, playful threats may work! The husband seemed to be very happy too, so there was no harm and no foul play. Or should I say falta? Don't spray me!

Keanu Reeves "John Wick" red carpet, 2014 Fantastic Fest in Austin, Texas

The recent NFT (Non-Fungible Token) craze has left many people wondering why someone would pay more than $1 million for a digital art file that can be easily copied by right-clicking "Save As". But NFT enthusiasts are willing to pay ridiculous amounts for artworks because they have digital ownership certificates that cannot be copied.

Just like paintings and other physical artworks, you can create copies of NFTs, but the number of originals is limited. This ushered in a new era in which digital assets can now have the scarcity that is usually attributed to physical objects.

To many people, this new form of scarcity seems to be another way for powerful people to claim ownership of things shared by the public.

"Of course, you can admire this ape painting," the NFT owner said proudly. "But I own that ape! It says so on the blockchain."

In a recent interview with The Verge, about how the digital world is slowly eroding real life, Alex Heath asked Keanu Reeves and Kelly, the stars of "The Matrix" Carrie-Anne Moss asked about the concept of digital scarcity. This question made Reeves lose his composure. He let out a big laugh, exclaiming, "They are easy to copy."

Reeve's outburst inspired Heath to counterattack, claiming that "but it's not the same."

The outbreak of the "Matrix" star made many people feel cathartic. They believed that NFT was nothing more than an elite scam. This video quickly went viral on social media, evoking a lot of funny and thoughtful responses.

This is how NFT works pic.twitter.com/WWymNTsBj5

I own this ticket. Not an artist. There are currently only 10. You cannot "right-click to save" this physical ticket. With NFT, you only have one picture. If you don’t infringe on the artist’s copyright, you won’t even be able to make a physical copy. What good is that? pic.twitter.com/1DBHO8einR

NFT proves that capitalists will try to limit the supply of anything to make it profitable

Mah dude is like "but this is why copy/paste or right click/save as is uh... wait a minute".

This guy gave these vibes pic.twitter.com/aHAMvWYZJL

"But it's different" is actually the case. When I right-clicked and saved nft, I experienced nft in the same way as the "owner", and I didn't pay a penny.

Why do people work so hard to make the virtual world as greedy as the real world?

The purpose of art is to experience, not to possess. A group of brothers who mistook art for investment has not changed this
