Jacked action hero with goon in headlock, in raspy yet firm voice:

a man in captain america 's uniform says i understood that reference Alt: Captain America says “I understood that reference!”

Watching Uncle Vanya for the first time:

*gun mentioned*

Me: Oh my god, it’s happening!

*gun shot several acts later*

Me: *aggressively elbowing the person next to me* That’s from the meme!

also if this were real - it is not! - we'd have to tackle the ethical concerns about our army of SENTIENT ROBOT SLAVES

ощущаю глухую миллениальскую тоску по временам, когда каждый год баловал нас обещанием конца света от нормальных причин (миллениум, затмение, микроскопическая чёрная дыра, конец кали-юги, солнечная буря, последний лист календаря майя), а не от игрищ охуевших от неограниченной власти мразей.

Old tweet from @shelfcomedy: me: god, why must you give me your hardest battles god: i don't. you are my weakest soldier and these battles are so easy. it's an email why are you crying

The morning so far

I tried to take a photo of a grasshopper on my windshield, but now it looks like a gigantic bug destroying the town.

“aikanár the sharp-flame loved thee. for thy sake now he will never take the hand of any bride of his own kindred but live alone to the end remembering the morning” “for one year, one day of the flame i would have given all: kin, youth, and hope itself” john tolkien i can’t STAND you

honestly tolkien’s most tolkien moment was hiding some of his most unhinged romantic lines in a side text read by relatively few people that is mostly a theological conversation about fate and death. that was him at his bare essentials

Once again I'm asking the question: if you can't be bothered to write something, why should I be bothered to read it? (And spend my hard earned cash?)

Археологи будущего, надеюсь, решат, что стоящие в разных уголках мира трамплины являются продуктами религиозного культа, назовут их «лестницы в небо» и будут искать тайное значение их строгих пропорций; гипотезу спортивного предназначения будут считать маргинальной и высмеивать.

Когда лет триста назад тусовка лыжников решила посоревноваться, кто лучше подпрыгнет на кочке на склоне, было уже понятно, что это приведет либо к чудовищному кровавому шоу со сроком жизни спортсмена в пару десятков прыжков, либо к всенародному обсуждению инъекций в пенис.

much is made of "meat's back on the menu boys" but personally I'm quite compelled by the Uruk Hai complaining about days-old bread, man's been alive for at most two weeks, was grown from some revolting fleshy underground alien womb and already he yearns for a warm baguette

Now is a good time to share this iconic piece by @taliesart.bsky.social

Letter 348, the cultural impact that you have...

I feel like the two Disney+ seasons of Doctor Who are a perfect case study in this. Just....not quite enough room to hit some of the same beats that earlier seasons reached easily.

Not every show needs to make 20+ episodes a year, but SO many current shows would be better off doing at least 10-13.

But if centaurs WERE real, they'd probably be pissed at well-meaning two-legs constantly asking them centaur questions, like their only purpose in the world was to explain their culture to the two-legs.

It is deeply important to me that Galadriel is right about Sauron still being out there, and also that Galadriel is flawed and hard and brutal in her single-mindedness as a commander rather than being some wafty sad Cassandra figure in the background

Cynthia Addai-Robbinson and Lloyd Owen recreating the Titanic iconic scene in the trop set

This is hands down the best trop bts pic ever I love them so much

Julien Gauthier's work on Númenor is fantastic.

Henry I's mother was Matilda of Flanders, his first wife Matilda of Scotland; he had three illegitimate daughters called Matilda, as was his legitimate daughter. After William's son died on the White Ship, he made Matilda his heir, but her cousin Stephen took the crown; his wife was another Matilda.

I still remember how around 50th anniversary there were tours at Roath Lock 😭

The typography of the American Revolutionary era if really meffing with my head.
