Everything old is new again?

And especially Postmodern Jukebox:

And if you look on YouTube for “bardcore” or “skaldcore”, you’re in for a treat for REALLY retro stuff:

I'm familiar with Postmodern Jukebox. Seen bardcore before.

I said a few years ago we're watching evolution as it happens when it comes to gender. People are exploring what gender means, and redefining it. It's evolving and adapting. Society and culture defined what gender meant, not biology. Now it's changing to fit in a new world. My prediction at the time was we would see a lot of those gender identities fall away as the stronger ones won out. I think it'll happen. Once people settle on a definition they'll start to find their place.

Once women wearing pants was unthinkable, now it's so common I'm sometimes surprised to see one in a skirt. For some reason it's harder for some to accept a man in a dress than a woman in pants. Both were seen as the fall of Western civilization. Yet, women in pants, and men in dresses are still here, and so is our civilization. It's adapting to the environment and will be stronger for it.

Does anyone know what the term is for the wooden stakes that a placed in an X on a battlefield? I thought that was a palisade but then saw that seemed to mean just like a wall made from spikes rather than the X, so wondered if any of y'all knew.

Cheval de Frise (Frisian Horse). Or the original latin Sudis.

I watched this documentary about life in Sweden. It's called Midsommar. It was informative and educational.

Well did it involve the consumption of lots of alcohol and eating of pickled herring? I have heard about the movie being sort of Wicker man-esque, but haven't seen it.

Awesome, thanks! Although now that I see the name, I'm not sure I ever knew the actual name of it... cause that doesn't sound familiar at all!

I do agree, it is rather strange that a type of fortication that’s been around so long, doesn’t have a more common term. Calling it something like palisade fortification or stake fortification would be plenty understable in my opinion.

No pickles or alcohol. They did drink an immense amount of mushroom tea. I can see the Wickerman comparison. I'd say the acting was better though.
