A shot of Vic from 'One Year Later' in a squid outfit screaming "You're kidding", and then a screenshot of Gianmarco from "Crowd Control" yelling "I'll suck your toes!"

two ways to respond when I take your points away

Josh Johnson asks a woman if her shirt says "ask me about my accident?". She says no, it says "ask me about my addiction." Josh responds "oops".

Since the eighties, LuPone has been based in Connecticut. Years ago, she and Johnston got a flock of chickens and named them Marilyn, Rita, Eartha, Foghorn Leghorn, and the Fabulous Miller Sisters (Pia, Alexandra, and Marie-Chantal). All but three were massacred in a raccoon attack. "It was horrific," LuPone said. "There was blood and feathers and guts all over the place when my husband heard me screaming. He came down in this Victoria's Secret underwear, barefoot. We looked in the hen hut, and there was the raccoon, basically looking at us, going, I ain't finished.'"

There are whole movies that don’t have the twists and turns of this paragraph.

hey did you know that Bismarck was the one who nicked Alsace Lorraine from France back in the 19th century

that's why historians call him............Grand Theft Otto

Tbh It's actually okay to suck at stuff you enjoy doing. You don't have to gear into competition or be the absolute best. Existing and having fun is just as worthwhile. You don't have to make money off it. You don't have to get published. You can literally just create it, fail, learn, and make more

Faramir: "Father, I have attained enlightenment and escaped the endless cycle of death and rebirth" Denethor: "Boromir would have remained as a bodhisattva until all sentieryt beings were enlightened"

But Gandalf ’s face was grave and sad, and bidding Beregond and Pippin to take Faramir into the Houses of Healing, he went up on to the walls nearby; and there like a figure carven in white he stood in the new sun and looked out. And he beheld with the sight that was given to him all that had befallen; and when E´ omer rode out from the forefront of his battle and stood beside those who lay upon the field, he sighed, and he cast his cloak about him again, and went from the walls. And Beregond and Pippin found him standing in thought before the door of the Houses when they came out. They looked at him, and for a while he was silent. At last he spoke. ‘My friends,’ he said, ‘and all you people of this city and of the Western lands! Things of great sorrow and renown have come to pass. Shall we weep or be glad? Beyond hope the Captain of our foes has been destroyed, and you have heard the echo of his last despair. But he has not gone without woe and bitter loss. And that I might have averted but for the madness of Denethor. So long has the reach of our Enemy become! Alas! but now I perceive how his will was able to enter into the very heart of the City. ‘Though the Stewards deemed that it was a secret kept only by themselves, long ago I guessed that here in the White Tower, one at least of the Seven Seeing Stones was preserved. In the days of his wisdom Denethor would not presume to use it to challenge Sauron, knowing the limits of his own strength. But his wisdom failed; and I fear that as the peril of his realm grew he looked in the Stone and was deceived: far too often, I guess, since Boromir departed. He was too great

to be subdued to the will of the Dark Power, he saw nonethe- less only those things which that Power permitted him to see. The knowledge which he obtained was, doubtless, often of service to him; yet the vision of the great might of Mordor that was shown to him fed the despair of his heart until it overthrew his mind.’ ‘Now I understand what seemed so strange to me!’ said Pippin, shuddering at his memories as he spoke. ‘The Lord went away from the room where Faramir lay; and it was only when he returned that I first thought he was changed, old and broken.’ ‘It was in the very hour that Faramir was brought to the Tower that many of us saw a strange light in the topmost chamber,’ said Beregond. ‘But we have seen that light before, and it has long been rumoured in the City that the Lord would at times wrestle in thought with his Enemy.’ ‘Alas! then I have guessed rightly,’ said Gandalf. ‘Thus the will of Sauron entered into Minas Tirith; and thus I have been delayed here. And here I shall still be forced to remain, for I shall soon have other charges, not Faramir only. ‘Now I must go down to meet those who come. I have seen a sight upon the field that is very grievous to my heart, and greater sorrow may yet come to pass. Come with me, Pippin! But you, Beregond, should return to the Citadel and tell the chief of the Guard there what has befallen.

While in the LOTR movies Denethor just randomly went crazy, that's not the whole story.

Denethor became a doomer. He spent all night scrolling through bad news on his magic device, because the Dark Lord only let him see bad news and not good, until he lost all hope and it broke him.

we should take the percentage of the economy dedicated to advertising and the percentage dedicated to the arts, confiscate it, and pay artists directly without fighting over a universal good which it is literally impossible to steal. (in that copying does not deny anyone anything.)

intellectual property is not property. it is not a moral right. it is a conditional monopoly granted by the government to incentivize economic activity, and when that monopoly is expanded it impoverishes the public.

this is also why machine learning models should not have any copyright protections.

And they just show up in your mentions, that’s the craziest part, you don’t even have to do anything

In other words, an Enabling Act.

it has been pointed out that although yoongi puts up a fight at the beginning he then touches taehyung's back and stands in front of him so that tae knows he can hug him again and wow, that's devastating, thank you

I don’t like my views being outre or fringe! It fucking sucks, it blows, I don’t want to be cool and unconventional, I want to be popular with the boring lame cringe normies who let you wield actual state power.

in fairness to the market no one could have guessed that a nearly 80 year-old ex-President with a messianic self-certainty and the hyperfixation of a toddler would enact a policy he spent each and every day of a two-year campaign promising to enact!

the internet starting to re-fragment into having Actual Websites again as centralized social media self-destructs is unironically one of the absolute best, most positive things happening rn

A radical skeleton telling you "Just start. You don't need permission. Art, craft, 2nd book, cake, writing, that show, any new skill, making friends. If it sucks, ask for help. The time will pass anyway"

The falcon cannot hear the falconer because it is busy listening to a podcast for low info falcons who feel emasculated

YESSSSSSSSS

BIG BOAT STUCK

I’m not convinced 2025 will be better.

when i was a few minutes younger i thought it was 9:33 a.m. eastern time. and maybe at one point, that was the case. but part of growing older is finding enough humility to let go of some of the things you once held as true

*Steps on to archivist soapbox, taps microphone*

The biggest lie you can tell yourself is "I'll remember."

No. You won't.

Write down/add metadata about who/what/where/when. Put a year on EVERYTHING.

Now is a great time to group project this with family!
