MPP is still the best hockey player in the world; this doesn't change that but I would've loved for her to not be injured, and to add another gold medal to her collection.

Volcanoes are the perfect human trap- they blow, then for hundreds and thousands of years the land is fertile af and lures ppl in then it rumbles a few times and does nothing so ppl are like ambient sound cool and then it buries everyone under 5000 cubic feet of rock and we start all over again

Tfw you didn't study much medieval history at school

The thing the UK does with Prime Ministers is simply what they used to do with kings adapted to the modern era. They love the ritual sacrifice of leaders on that island, it's how they keep the peace

I love this website when Bad Things Happen to Bad People

Historians’ Favourite Royal Cover Ups KLAXON:

When Prince Ernest, Duke of Cumberland (& Queen Victoria’s Uncle) was accused of murdering his valet, Joseph Sellis, in 1810, the inquest found the man committed suicide, even tho…

Wishing a meaningful & reflective Mark Wahlberg 40 Day Challenge to all who observe.

Philadelphia Story or I’m never speaking to any of y’all again

I definitely thought it was a winter holiday when I was a kid in the 90s, and did not realize it moved around through the year.

Oh no!!!!

OK Tracer Bullet was good but I assume we're all in agreement that this is the all-time BEST Calvin & Hobbes strip, correct

Just remembering the lovely door decorations my wife made that year ⚓

An old tweet from Found TNG Episodes that says "If you aren't happy single, you won't be happy taken. Happiness comes from Star Trek, not relationships."

Remember:

The most antifascist thing you can do today is read a trans romance

You may laugh, but the Macbeths are a much better role model for a marriage than Romeo and Juliet. They discuss their problems (killing the king of Scotland), share their hobbies (killing the king of Scotland), and resolve their conflicts (by killing the king of Scotland).

The talk to your friends app and the witness the horrors app being the same app is not great for the mental health is it

no more 6 foot tall dude silhouettes, "toilet for comparison" is a much more evocative creature scale metric

J got tubes in his ears this Christmas and it's made a world of difference. His hearing improved right away and the non stop sinus infections stopped.

Unironically yes, LOWER DECKS is about how the response to the disappointments of the post-Cold War era and the complexity of the modern world should not be despair or cynicism but instead a recommitment to the original ideals of liberalism, thank you for coming to my TED talk.

I grew up in a russian family (and I think this is also true in the U.S.) where French language is holistically vaporized into High Culture only to move to Canada where the dual-language packaging mandate has me reading debased formulations such as “Cheez-it format familial… 75% plus de Cheez-It”

YouTube star Ms. Rachel sounds alarm on kids held in Texas ICE facility "I am really worried about the kids living in Dilley detention center."
