You can't expect me, with all your talk about superb owls, not to remind you of Louis Wain's 1904 "The Cat's Nightmare" (hint, that nightmare is owls).

You won’t regret being kind.

Even if no one notices.

Even if it’s hard.

You’ll still know you did the right thing.

the magic of the Muppets is that there are two fourth walls. they constantly break the one that reminds the audience they are performers. they NEVER break the one that reminds the audience they are puppets. this dynamic is the key to their entire comedy style

For sale: baby shoes, never worn (Please don't worry - baby is fine. We bought them because they looked really cute, put them in a drawer and then forgot about them until they were already two sizes too small. Actually have four pairs, various sizes, all unworn. Will combine postage.)

“In 1404, King Taejong fell from his horse during a hunting expedition. Embarrassed, looking to his left and right, he commanded, “Do not let the historian find out about this.” To his disappointment, the historian accompanying the hunting party included these words in the annals, in addition to a description of the king’s fall.“

LMFAOOOOOO rip to that guy

User Shitacademicswrite:

i thought maybe this was fake, but there’s even a citation!

Taejong Sillok Book 7. 5th year of King Taejong’s Reign (1404), February 8.

a tabby padding through a patch of sunlight glaring at the camera with an almost kubrickian stare and her tail in the air. she looks like she is going to swiftly destroy something beautiful.

i kneeled to take a sweet pic of her with her eyes closed and facing the sun and instead i instantly got a whole serving of stanley kubrick shit from someone who’s afraid of shadows, plastic bags, shoes, and her own tail.

1-panel SMBC comic update. Three men are startled and afraid, standing around an opened Egyptian sarcophagus, with a mummy sitting up in it. The mummy says "for that you have disturbed my tomb, you shall die at a typical actuarial rate, but perceive it as unusually high!" The caption below the panel reads "my favorite genre it Stats Horror."

Anything that deviates from normal is a conspiracy, including when things are precisely normal.
