i hate to be a huge dork but i'd like to be able to upload HDR images

Orange background tile with "The Hobbit" on top. Below is a Peanuts style hobbit (presumably Bilbo). He's smiling contentedly with a pipe in his mouth. There's a small puff of smoke and a couple of butterflies flying nearby. Bottom left corner you see @adammurphyart which is the signature slash ig handle of the artist who I highly recommend following if you're on ig. Great stuff.

Another peanuts x hobbit tile. This one with Woodstock inspired eagles rescuing Gandalf and gang. There are a few of the eagles in silhouette in the background and in the foreground there's a larger more detailed Woodstock eagle with Gandalf riding and holding a dwarf and hobbit in it's claws.

This hobbit x peanuts tile shows Smaug lighted in the background resting on his hoarde while a wisp of smoke trails up from his nostrils. In the foreground on a pile of treasure that's in dark shadow your see the silhouette of a peanuts looking Bilbo.

One last one. Back home again. Bilbo and Barlin sit in chairs by the hearth and Gandalf stands behind them. They're all happily puffing their pipes.

Some delightful Peanuts x The Hobbit pieces by Adam Murphy. #comics #art

"Because of an editing error, an earlier version of this article misstated which day the New York Mets suffered their 11th straight loss. It was on Sunday, not Monday. Even the Mets cannot lose on an off day."

"Why are Virginia Democrats being so MEAN to us for NO REASON"

He's a liar and a killer. I don't know what else to tell people, he's a rich eugenicist, he wants as many poor people as possible to die in the name of 'health.' He's a genuinely and uniquely malign figure in American life and his appointment was an act of violence

They're saying it's the most unbiased poll question ever. echeloninsights.com/insights/apr...

we all know I have no life, so:

We should go back to referring to people by their age group instead of by their generation. Enough of this “elder millennials” shit. Just say “people in their 40s” or whatever.

Megan Ellison has been doing weird prestige stuff for years (she produced Phantom Thread and Riley’s last film) and from rumored tabloid reports hasn’t spoken to her father in years, I’d rather the children of rich kids make weird hard to market movies than run media conglomerates into the ground

Just a reminder to all grad students that we definitely DO NOT keep a "Grad Student Power Ranking" in the faculty lounge where we update your ranking weekly based on performance (along with little arrows indicating your movement relative to last week). Just something faculty, again, do not do

I love a crazy conversation from a nice normal seeming person

Love that for you

I always say this, but the Trump animatronic at Disney World is clearly a Hillary Clinton one they hastily repurposed

horseshoe theory is real. leftists almost got kat abughazaleh elected into congress and now it comes out that her boyfriend owns infowars…

also a bold move to be like "hey remember when these were good movies? why don't you watch one of those instead"

having people watch previous movies to see the next movie would be more appealing if the MCU hadn't been eating shit since endgame came out

when i was in college i would get to the airport four hours early because there was a chair massage place and I'd spend my TA stipend on hour-long massages before every flight, then I'd have a nice sit down meal, then I'd read a book; what was I going to do in my dorm except think about my flight?
