Thanks Freddie!

Or: Inspiration From The Great Beyond

AKA: When Queen songs pop up on my very not Queen station on Pandora.

So in the long ago and far off land of 2019, I read this book, you probably haven’t heard of it, called “Good Omens” by Terry Pratchett and Neil Gaiman, that was made into a 6 part miniseries. And it took over my life. I was reading fic and meta and all that when Joy ( @thebibliosphere​ ) posted something (at this point I don’t remember what) that sparked an idea: What if the Discworld Witches lived in the GO universe? I don’t imagine she’ll see this, but thanks Joy!

That was in maybe the beginning of June-ish ‘19? And I stewed on it for a while and finally started writing my very first fanfic at the end of June (the 23rd to be precise because I started tracking my progress). I called it “Ineffable Bastards”. It was going to be short. It was going to be light and fluffy. I wasn’t planning on posting it anywhere... Do you hear that? Faintly, in the distance? Yeah, sounds a bit like maniacal laughter, doesn’t it...

[image id: screenshot of the properties of the “Ineffable Bastards” Libre Office document showing the creation date at 06/23/2019, 13:57:20 and the last modified date as 06/23/2020, 08:50:34. Total editing time is 1410 hours, 40 minutes 54 seconds (that’s 58 days) and revisions is numbered at 18420. /end id]

So, having already failed utterly at short and angst free, I started a pre-fic fic for worldbuilding called “In The Garden” that also wasn’t going to be posted anywhere. (It’s going to have it’s one year anniversary on AO3 on July 22.)

ANYWAY, while writing I like to listen to music and the genre? I guess? I settled on was the P!atd and Fall Out Boy and 21P type music, AKA White Boys Yelling Politely. The stuff Pandora sorts into that genre sounds zero% like Queen IMO.

So, imagine my surprise when I’m writing on July 19, 2019 and a Queen song pops up. Not once, but twice. And I was like, weird but awesome, thanks Freddie! Then it happened again on the 22nd. And it kept happening. And I find this random happy little accident really inspiring.

I’m not looking for explanations why it’s happening. Honestly, while I’m sure it has perfectly mundane reasons, I prefer to see the magic of the situation. And no, I didn’t favorite any of the songs to make them more likely to pop up, you can see in the screenshots that they aren’t marked with a star like favorites are.

On the days when the “whybothers” are at their worst, having a Queen song pop up sometimes helps me get out of the funk. Last night was an extremely bad night. And I had 5 Queen songs pop up - I’ve never had 5 before. On the other hand, I hadn’t realized it was the one year anniversary of the first time a Queen song popped up.

[image ID: a screenshot and a gif. The still image is of an open file browser with a bunch of the screenshots in question, with the Pandora app open beside it, showing that Another One Bites The Dust by Queen is going to play. The gif is showing the file browser being scrolled to show that there are a lot of screenshots accumulated over the past year, all named “inspiration from the great beyond Queen” with a date at the end. /end id]

So here’s some Stats for other nerds:

it’s happened over 180 times in the past year, including one today while writing this post. I got screens of most but a couple were on my phone.

Killer Queen is top song at 60 plays

Don’t Stop Me Now is technically top song, if I add the 3 versions together at 91

DSMN = 21

DSMN (with long lost guitars) = 24

DSMN (...revisted) = 46

We Will Rock You trails in at 3rd with 15 plays

I Want To Break Free played 2 times

Hammer To Fall played 2 times

Seven Seas Of Rhye played 2 times

Keep Yourself Alive played twice, the first time June 1, 2020 which felt like A Statement

Single Plays:

I Was Born To Love You

The Millionaire Waltz

Flash

Love Of My Life (7/19/20)

Radio Ga Ga (7/19/20)

Another One Bites The Dust (7/20/20)

Here’s a couple of the screenshots. First time with Don’t Stop Me Now (...revisited) and We Will Rock You, the IB document open in the background:

The other songs in the screenshot below amused me with their serendipitous names. “The Crown” “The Fall” “Walk On Water”

If anyone is really curious, I can share a link to the screenshots uploaded to postimg.

I hope it continues, and that I’m able to keep writing in spite of everything. It’s a little bit of magic in my life and I’m very grateful for it. I like to imagine Terry and Freddie petting cats and sipping banana daiquiris in a very curious library somewhere. Or perhaps it’s an odd old book store with an even odder owner.

Thanks Freddie. Thanks Terry.

In My Life (d.d imagine)

Summary: David reminisces his life story with the one girl he will always love, in all of his life...

Word Count: 2629

 "Mr.Dobrik, everyone's going downstairs to watch a movie, do you want to go see it?" Karen asked, coming into David's room. "What movie?" He asked her. "Charlie's Angels," She smiled. "I'm okay tonight Karen. Could I just get a blanket? It's a little chilly tonight," David said. At the age of 70, he still had a wonderful smile. "Of course, here you go," She said grabbing the blue blanket off his bed. "If you need anything else, just ring the bell," Karen said, walking away. David put his book down. He sighed as he looked over at the picture of her. She was so giggly, so pretty and so smart. David loved her more than anyone in his life. He thought back to the first day they met. July 18th, 2018. "Oh my god! It's David Dobrik!" shit. David turned around to a swarm of people. Teenagers alike, some even wearing merch, all gathered around him wanting a picture. "Hey! Hey guys!" He said over the crowd. He just wanted a new hat, not a stampede. He knew it was only a matter of time before the Grove security would come around and either a) clear out the group or b) kick David out. David took a few pictures, signed a few articles, and hugged his fans. As weird as this is to him still, he was grateful for every second of it. He wouldn't have it any other way. He had loyal fans who cared about him, and that still wasn’t registered in his mind. Through the mob of people, he did catch eyes with a girl. She was in the way back of the crowd. She smirked at him and looked back at her friends. Then she walked, yet David realized that she wasn't too far, just getting a pretzel. He would look back at her every now and again. Soon enough, Grove security came around and crushed the mob. David thanked them generously, and then went to the pretzel stand. "Hi," He said. The girl turned around and smirked. "Hey," She said. "I saw you in the mob and I wanted to make sure you were okay," He said, his words getting caught on his tongue. She was prettier up close, he was amazed by her eyes and how her smirk made him already feel things he hadn't felt. "Yeah I'm fine, but thanks for checking," She said. "Did you want a picture?" He asked. She sighed and said in the sweetest voice, "I'm really sorry, but who are you?" She started to laugh. She felt terrible like she was supposed to know who he is. "David Dobrik, I'm a YouTuber," He said. He hated using that word. She was immediately impressed. "I'm (Y/N) (Y/L/N), that's such a cool job! I work in American Eagle," She laughed. "Hey! Whatever makes the money right?" He said. They went quiet for a while. She was finding him attractive. The way his eyes scanned all his surroundings and how his tongue poked outside of his teeth. "You want one?" She offered him a pretzel bite. "No, I'm good!" He said. Except, David really wanted one. "No, I insist," She said, putting one in his hand. He smiled and thanked her. As he chewed on the treat she wrote down her number, handed it to him and walked away. David didn't waste any time and called her the next day, already setting up times to get her to meet his crazy friends. The memory made David smile. Every time he had Aunt Annie's he thought of her, they once had outside vendor day at the folk's home and oddly enough, they had the pretzels. David got two buckets. One for him and one for her. Even if she couldn't have any. It was the time of night he loved the most, post dinner and his relax time, but tonight he spent it reminiscing. He thought about the first time she went to Vernon Hills with him. October 22nd, 2018. "You know, I hate flying. You are so lucky I appreciate you!" She joked. Except, she hated flying. David thought she was kidding. As Jason, Zane, Heath, and Todd checked their bags, she printed their tickets. "Hey!" David called out to her. "You wanna sit with me on the plane?" He asked. She frowned, "I promised Todd" David nodded and looked down. "But, I can sit with him on the way back." She laughed, to which David smiled. They went through security and got closer to the gate. This was when she started to become quieter. "Hey, you okay?" Jason asked her. "Yeah, planes just freak me out a bit," She dry laughed. Heath frowned and said, "Don't worry! You have a higher chance of dying on a car crash than you do on a plane," He smiled. She smiled and looked for David. Her stomach had butterflies growing in it and her hips went numb. "Gate 24 we are now boarding, first class," The woman came over the speaker. She felt her body tense up. David noticed but didn't say anything, except Todd, did. "What's wrong?" He said. He put his arm around her. "I'm scared of planes," She said. "It's okay, don't worry!" She handed her pass the lady. Her hands began shaking. David caught up with her as they went to their seats. "(Y/N), Is everything okay?" He asked. She wanted to say something snarky like she would but instead was reaching deep into her bag for her Xanax. "Yeah, just one minute," She grabbed her water and took half the pill. "I'm sorry, I'm just really scared of planes." She said, looking at him. Her eyes were watering and she felt tense. David put his arm around her, and she melted into him. "I got you, just focus on me, okay?" David smiled at the scared girl. As the plane took off she buried herself into him. He smiled because he felt important to him. "Ladies and Gentlemen we are up in the air!" She breathed. He breathed. "Okay okay, I'm good." She said, falling back into her seat. David sipped from his water and fell asleep. He didn't know that while he was asleep, she was thinking about him. She thought about how he was so caring, so loving, so ho-. She got scared now, not because of the plane but because she knew she liked him. Vernon Hills was unlike anything she had seen before, she understood why David loved it so much, yet, she also didn't It seemed like nothing was there. She was a woman of her word and did sit with Todd on the way home. That oddly made David jealous for some reason he couldn't understand. Floating back into real time, David took another look at the picture, them in the park. "Hey, you still up?" "Jared! Could you please take this blanket off of me, I'm too hot!" He said to his son. "Sure thing Dad, I was gonna bring the girls today but Madison and Claire are both kinda sick, I didn't wanna chance anything," David was just getting over a wicked cold. "Ah I see, how's your sister?" He said. "She's good, I haven't seen her in a while," Jared said. "I haven't seen her either," David said. Sadie just wasn't the same anymore. "But, I did see the kids recently, John went on a camping trip, Cathrine has a school show next week and Melanie made it on her math team!" Jared said, telling his Dad about Sadie's kids. "I miss them," David said. "What were you doing?" Jared asked. "Just thinking that's all," David said. Jared was talking to him but David was zoning in and out. He thought of the first time he had kissed her. December 29th, 2018. "Dave! Loosen up a bit!" Scott said, tugging at his tie. "I am loose, just tryna get some footage," He said. In all honesty, he was watching her. In the sparkly dress, be talked to by every boy that came her way. "Stop worrying about her, she's fine," Scott said. David scoffed. "I'm not worrying, I'm just-" "Jealous?" Scott said. "Maybe a little," David said. "Well, just go talk to her, vlog her." Scott said. He nodded and walked over to her. "Hey!" He said she turned around with a glass of champagne. "Hey! I've been looking for you," She said all bubbly. It was true, she was looking for him and this made David feel irresistible. The clock read 11:50 pm. "10 minutes until 2019!" She was all excited. "I know! Do you have any resolutions?" He asked her. He wasn't a fan of small talk nor was he a fan of how slowly time was at parties. "You know I always say work out but I never do," She giggled. "Well, why would you need to? You've got a great body, you're beautiful!" He said, catching himself. David didn't wanna ruin a friendship but he also wanted something more. 11:53 pm. "Thanks, Davey," She said, punching his arm. He felt like he was in a movie, he pinched himself to make sure he wasn't in a movie. "What about you? Any new vlog ideas?" She asked him. 11:56 pm. "I wanna try to branch out of the vlogs, maybe a popup shop, more merch. But I also wanna work on myself, you know?" He said. She nodded and sipped from her champagne, "Want some?" She laughed. "Now does that sure sound familiar..." He said, his voice trailing upwards. 11:58. "Everyone gather round!" People started crowding the TV. "Here's to a bright and successful new year!" Zane said, his glass high. "And to meeting new friends!" Matt said, pointing at her. She was wrapped around David as she was a little tipsy. "You know, I should tell you this-" "Dave, it can't wait? Were about to countdown!" She laughed. "10,9,8-" The crowd started. "Meeting you was the best thing to ever happen to me!" He shouted over the crowd, "7,6,5-" "That's so sweet!" She said. "4,3,2" "I have to tell you, I think I-" "1, Happy New Year!" Out of pure want, she pulled him close and kissed him. "Like me?" She asked him. Her eyes sparkled and his eyes did too. "Yes." He said simply. "Dad?" David was brought out of his trance. "I'm gonna go now okay? Claire needs me, I'll see you on Tuesday!" Jared said. "Okay Jar, oh speaking of dates, what's today's date?" David asked his son. "It's May 17th, 2066,  you and Mom's 45th anniversary," He said smiling. David smiled and nodded. 45 years ago today he married the best woman he ever laid eyes on. "Are you nervous?" His brother asked him. "Nervous? No, I'm just shocked still Toby," He said. As young as he was he could understand little things. May 17th, 2021, it would be the day he would set in stone things with her, things he had been waiting to do since she met her on that fateful day. "Who's ready?" Jason asked walking in. To the surprise of many, David had chosen Jason to be his best man, Jason was like an L.A. father to him. "I am but I'm incredibly nervous," He said. "You are a confusing man!" Toby said. "David, when you see her walk down that aisle all of those nerves go away. You will see her there, in all white and feel all the feelings you felt and those will never leave you," David nodded and Jason was right. She walked down the aisle in white and lace, her arm around her Fathers and the hum of the choir and instruments rained throughout the church. He cried, he knew they would be together since day 1 and this showed 100% how he felt. She was dripped in the thread and moving towards him his heart was full. In all of his life, he loved her the most. Thinking to now, David remembered their honeymoon in Hawaii...and also remembered 9 months later Jared Palo Dobrik. Yes, a honeymoon baby indeed but one of the best babies out there. Jared slept all the time and just loved both his parents. He was a daddy's boy, and the two always got into mischief until the day Sarah Paisley Dobrik came into his life. Sadie was a version of her mother. She was her, and David loved her just as much. Sadie and her mom grew incredibly close and it was the four of them a ride or die. David taught them that family was the most important thing. The family became the most important thing when on August 12th, 2056, when the light of David's life was hit by a car. She spiraled out and it was up to David, at age 60 to take care of her. "David, you are too good to me," she said. "(Y/N), you have given me two wonderful children, which have given us 5 wonderful grandchildren, how could I not give back to you," David fed her soup, read her books, watched movies with her. Even up until the day she died she'd say to him, "You know, I've loved a lot of people in my life. But I've loved you more,". And during that day, November 24th, 2061, she told him how she wanted to be with the family. It was Thanksgiving day! Not to mention her favorite holiday. David gave her turkey that night with a little bit of stuffing. He kissed her and told her that he loved her. He left to go back to the family until he got the call, she had gone into a coma. Of course, he rushed over to the hospital and sat with her. As Jared came with his kids and Sadie came with hers, this may be the last time they'd ever see her. Sadly, she couldn't speak. Sadie cried in her Dad's arms, he shushed her yet tears fell from his eyes. Their lives flash all before their eyes. David mostly, he had lost Jason and now he was losing her. The next day, November 25th, 2061, She passed away. Sadie was never the same, Jared didn't understand and David sold the family house, all in the course of two months. He moved into Sunny rode Old Folks home and lived there peacefully. At the funeral, he'd recite words to their favorite song, an old song, one that most people in the room had never heard. She loved the Beatles and "In My Life" was her favorite song. David couldn't sing so he sat and recited each word, saying what it meant to them. Until the last person had left, him alone, with pretzel bits and a casket. He went home that night and slept the next day. Now, a few years later he was doing much better. Everyone was, it was the process of moving on. It was the process of life. He took one last look at the picture, he placed it on his bedside table and got into bed. Shutting off the light and grabbing the blue blanket, one of the last things he had of her. "You know, in all my life I've loved a lot of people. But I will always love you the most,"

Five things to know about GOP Rep. Robert Fisher and The Red Pill

When state Rep. Robert Fisher testified before the House Legislative Administration Committee last week, he admitted posting on Reddit as pk_atheist, the pseudonym used to create The Red Pill, but he denied -- under oath -- that he is still running the notorious forum that some have called the heart of modern misogyny.

The question was raised due to a report in The Daily Beast (that followed a similar Miscellany Blue investigation), in which reporters identified numerous items that appeared to link Fisher with the current Red Pill moderator, a Redditor using the pseudonym, redpillschool. “Fisher may still be very much an active contributor and chief moderator of The Red Pill,” The Daily Beast concluded.

Fisher explicitly denied that he is continuing to moderate the site as redpillschool. "It's starting to look like a zany conspiracy theory by a liberal rag to me,” he complained in an email to reporters.

It is important for the House committee to determine if Fisher is the current moderator, not only because it would contradict Fisher’s sworn testimony, but also because the committee is limiting its investigation of Fisher’s activities to statements he made after he took the oath of office in December 2016.

We compiled the most compelling clues that suggest Fisher may have simply shed one anonymous persona for another and is continuing to run the site as redpillschool:

1. Fisher and redpillschool sound strikingly similar

In March 2013, redpillschool appeared as a guest on the BBC World Service Newshour program using the alias “Morpheus Manfred.” Here, you can compare his voice, as captured in that broadcast, with a recording of Fisher when he was interviewed on the Tom Brown Show in September 2014.

2. Fisher and redpillschool apparently share a Google Adsense account

Fisher explained the fact that his email address appeared as the DNS administrator for several websites managed by redpillschool by saying he is “a reseller for a web hosting company” and has provided free or low-cost hosting accounts for many people he has never even met.

“I am not responsible for the content on these sites, nor am I endorsing anything on them,” he wrote. “My email address was the default for DNS records when somebody didn't provide me a different address."

Fisher didn’t explain why the Google Adsense publisher ID linked to Puerarchy.com, one of the websites linked to his email address but managed by redpillschool, is also linked to InsideNH.com, a website authored by Fisher and Rep. Nick Zaricki (R-Goffstown) where the legislators discussed issues related to their work in the New Hampshire House. Ad revenue from Puerarchy.com is directed to the same Google account receiving ad revenue from InsideNH.com.

3. Old redpillschool content was edited after the press contacted Fisher

As The Daily Beast reported, some comments written by redpillschool (and captured by the Archive.is project) were edited after The Daily Beast contacted Fisher with questions related to The Red Pill. “[A]rchives of redpillschool’s comments seem to suggest Fisher may have quickly moved to cover his tracks,” The Daily Beast noted.

For example, the version of a message captured on March 8, 2017 adds a sentence about living on the West Coast that was not included in the version of the message captured the day after it was posted on January 11, 2017.

Similarly, another reference to living in California appears in the version of a RedPillSchool comment captured on May 9, 2017 that did not appear in the version captured the day after it was originally posted on October 27, 2016.

4. Reddit comments by Fisher and redpillschool contain significant similarities

Jason Baumgartner, a “big data aficionado” and neuro-linguistic programming analyst, has collected and archived more than three billion Reddit comments and submissions. He responded to a “How many of you think that redpillschool is Robert Fisher?” question on Reddit with an analysis of every single Reddit submission from pk_atheist and redpillschool.

"After reviewing all of the data, I am certain that pk_atheist and redpillschool are both Robert Fisher's accounts,” he wrote in a message to Miscellany Blue. “There are too many similarities between the two accounts.” Here are a few of the similarities he discovered:

Pk_atheist and redpillschool both mentioned the OKCupid online dating site and their frustrations with it:

pk_atheist: "I actually had to quit OKCupid because it was just making me angry. 99% of the profiles that had girls I could be attracted to (i.e. not large) had this self-important BS. They have a lot of expectations."

redpillschool: "But check out OKCupid some time, because you'll see it's female profiles that have the ‘Must be 6' tall, athletic, please no losers thx’ checklist at the bottom. … 80% of women go after 20% of the guys. On OKCupid, women ranked 80% of men as ‘below average.’”

Both frequently used the word "hypergamy" and both capitalize it:

pk_atheist: "I'm going to argue that part of taking the red pill is letting go of the pipe dream that was marriage. Marriage is dead. Hypergamy reigns supreme."

redpillschool: "I see very little conscience, self doubt or regret in the women I know. They simply blame their husbands and are eager to get out of their marriage vows at the earliest opportunity. It's not 1955 any more, it is the decade of Open Hypergamy."

Both mentioned the KETO diet; both suggested that it’s ok to drink diet sodas while following the diet; and both noted that they have lost 25 pounds while on the diet:

pk_atheist: “I really don't follow paleo. I have however lost 25 lbs since July on the keto diet. I will read leangains.com, thanks for taking the time to reply with some meat! … “I've lost a ton of weight on keto and diet soda. Just saying.”

redpillschool: “Diet cola is fine. I do keto and drink diet sodas all the time. Lost 25 pounds. Working on my last 10.”

Both mention theoretical physicist Brian Greene and his book "The Fabric of the Cosmos:"

pk_atheist: Brian Greene argues that we only see time (and entropy) go in one direction because we're on the upswing towards a return to high entropy.

redpillschool: That's not really provably true, and that's why Schrodinger's cat is such an interesting experiment. For instance, we already know via experiment here on earth that we can have twin particles in a superposition until observed- and that's with gravity and some very fancy science to hold the particles for a period of time. (Mostly illustrated in Brian Greene's latest book, if you're interested.)

Both speak about "feminism being a sexual strategy:"

pk_atheist: Interesting perspective. I have long maintained that above all else, feminism is a sexual strategy. It's a long list of accomplishments women have been making to better poise themselves to make sexual decisions. Trying to change the social narriative to say that being a slut is ok is part of the strategy.

redpillschool: I think feminism is a sexual strategy, but not intentionally one. We believe it's an unconscious drive for women called the feminine imperative.

Both use the term "feminine imperative:"

pk_atheist: The only game advice I condemn is one that plays strictly into the feminine imperative. "Don't forget to be respectful, women like that." … Good, you feel guilty about letting women benefit from men's work. The feminine imperative has successfully entered your consciousness.

redpillschool: I think feminism is a sexual strategy, but not intentionally one. We believe it's an unconscious drive for women called the feminine imperative.

Both reference the same three video games: Command & Conquer, Grand Theft Auto and SimCity.

Both mention Gary Taubes, the controversial journalist who has challenged scientists' claims about diet and health.

Both use the expression "and so on and so on."

Both use the expression "down the rabbit hole."

The most frequently-used six word phrase related to women by both pk_atheist and redpillschool is "not all women are like that."

5. Fisher and redpillschool both posted the same time of day, in the same subject areas and using a similar vocabulary

Baumgartner analyzed the time of day pk_atheist and redpillschool posted messages on Reddit and concluded “there is a strong correlation between the two.” He noted “pk_atheist has far less posts than redpillschool by close to an order of magnitude, but there is still enough data to draw some statistical significance.”

“What we see here is a really good indication that the two accounts are at least in the same time-zone, and that they start posting around the same time of the day (the hour of the day is in UTC time),” he wrote. “We also see that there is a slight increase in posts around the 20th UTC hour and then a great falloff after the 22nd hour onwards until the next day.”

Baumgartner took a look at each user’s top 50 subreddits for posting comments and found 23 of the 50 subreddits are the same for both pk_atheist and redpillschool. The list of shared subreddits not related to Manosphere topics includes the gaming, SimCity and startrek subreddits.

Pk_atheist and redpillschool “both share a common vocabulary of over 6,000 words,” Baumgartner noted. His study found they both use certain words with the same frequency. For example, his analysis of their use of words with ten characters or more found that all of pk_atheist’s ten most frequently used words are also used by redpillschool in nearly the same frequency.
